I know that at that time Japanese boys were regarded as mature once they had their name given officially. However Kiyomori is such a retarded person when it comes to his attention to his father and his family and what his future is going to be. He is forever rushing madly out of the house when something new is said or done. He just can't grow up yet.
Why do they do this casting ?? Same with GOU. I hated that beginning stuff with Ueno playing a nine year old girl. They have plenty of really good child actors in Japan so it doesn't make much sense. |
Kiyomori is still only in his teens in the first 10 eps or so?? I must really start playing catch-up with the eps I'm missing (stuck at 4). Matsuyama is only 27, but I didn't realise he'd be playing teenage Kiyomori as well...
I can't relate to Kiyomori in the eps I've watched, he's so annoying and stupid. He just fails at seeing the big picture for even one second and that makes it very hard to root for him to succeed. Sometimes I wonder why Tadamori even bothered with him... _________________

Maybe it has to do with the performance and not the actual character...?

Not one of the times you would want Smell-O-Vision.

Haha.
Usually the opposite happens, ne?

They do seem to be killling off all the good actors on a regular basis. I'm wondering if there will be anybody left by the time they get to the end.

I haven't been watching, so is Fujiki's character Saigyo still alive in there? _________________
