I haven't been watching, so is Fujiki's character Saigyo still alive in there? |
I'm pretty sure he's still around somewhere. The last two episodes there's been quite the bloodletting.
Two weeks ago (episode 22):
And last week (episode 23):

Hi Junny, I think it's the second one. Viewers are not used to Heian Era. I talked about this series with my Japanese friend, and she said the same thing. Heck, before I started watching this, I didn't know whether Kiyomori, Tadamori, Nobunaga and Ieyasu belonged to the same era or not. I didn't even know that the Genji clan has 'Minamoto' as their family name.
So, I learned a lot just from watching the first 5 episodes. I'm willing to watch the rest of it. Alas, we have no English sub yet for the remaining episodes.
Say, any link where I can watch the rest of the episodes - even in raw Japanese? Arigato ne!

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. |
I didn't realise that Kenichi played a 14 years old boy during the first episodes. He did well portraying a young, troubled man, but I thought he would be in his late teens, 19 or 20 years old by then. Still, I like his Kiyomori so far.

LOL.
Will we be chanting, "Yoshitsune is dead... Long live Yoshitsune!"

Unfortunately, that was right about the same time everybody shaved their heads. |
Thought Anne had already showed up from ep 1 - the opening bits with Masako and Yoritomo narrating a bit of the history and feud between the families. Those were just bit parts but I thought it was something that continued into later episodes.
I hope Saigyo is still alive? _________________

Episode 46, Saigyo is still alive but the Genpei war has started and Yorimasa has just committed Seppuku.I think Saigyo did survive past the Genpei war so he should still be around when it all ends on Episode 50.

Yay, +1 for surviving the entire train wreck
Though it's sad that Fujiki's first taiga in yonks has to be so terrible _________________
