^ mhh, liked the first one better - it was also more dramatic.
this one is strange, all three seem to be thinking "how long do I have to keep this pose?"
or
Chacha: "I'm laughing now but I'm gonna blow myself up."
Hatsu: "I'm laughing now but I'm gonna shave my head and become a nun."
Go: "So desu ne?"

Got the titles for Ep22-34 from someone in 2ch board, who already bought the 2nd guidebook!
I also write on my predictions of what each episode is about, based on the novel I've read. Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled^^
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
��22�b�@����̏ё�
Episode 22 "Father and Mother's Portrait" O.A June 12
Hidetada (Mukai Osamu) will appear for the first time in this episode, but I believe he will only appear a few minutes, just for an introduction to his character. Not sure what will the episode mainly be about. Probably Gou will reminisce her parents?
��23�b�@�l���G��
Episode 23 "Hidetada the Hostage" O.A June 19
I believe this episode will focus on Hidetada, about his hardships as Tokugawa Ieyasu's son. And how he has bad relationship with his father. Also will be the episode where Gou met Hidetada for the first time. This episode will also include the Siege of Odawara (1590) plot.
��24�b�@���x�ؕ�
Episode 24 "Rikyu's Harakiri" O.A June 26
Hiks.... Sen-no-Rikyu(Soeki)'s death
��25�b�@���̗�
Episode 25 "Storm of Love" O.A July 3
Storm of love? Gou-Hidekatsu's love story?^^ I guess, AKIRA will be the male lead in this episode.
��26�b�@��ɂȂ鎞
Episode 26 "Becoming a Mother" O.A July 10
Gou is pregnant with Sadako, Hidekatsu's daughter^^
I believe Sadako was born after Hidekatsu was already sent off to war in Korea.
��27�b�@�G���̈⌾
Episode 27 "Hidekatsu's Last Will" O.A July 17
Hidekatsu's death.
��28�b�@�G���ɉł�
Episode 28 "You'll Marry Hidetada!" O.A July 24
The arrangement and preparation of Gou and Hidetada's marriage, finally!
Of course, including Gou's strong protest, regarding the marriage arrangement, to Hideyoshi. Also, Gou's deepest sorrow of having to leave his first daughter, Sadako, behind, in Chacha's care. I'm guessing the episode will end with the wedding ceremony and, perhaps, Gou-Hidetada's first bedroom conversation, which ended quite startling for Gou^^
��29�b�@�ň��̕v
Episode 29 "The Worst Husband" O.A July 31
The episode that will totally focus on Gou and Hidetada's relationship!!! Ahh... can't wait!*v*
Gou would get upset to see how apathetic he is and thinking the marriage really isn't working. I believe this episode will be full of Gou-Hidetada's bickerings and trivial arguments, lol. Guessing the episode ends with the great Osaka earthquake where Hidetada went all the way back to the castle to save Gou's life.
��30�b�@�������l��
Episode 30 "The Dearest Person" O.A August 7
Still focusing on Gou-Hidetada's romance, I believe!^o^ So happy it gets 2 episodes, heehee...
The episode where Gou started to see Hidetada in a different light and starting to love him. Most probably, the birth of their first baby, Sen-hime, is also in this episode.
��31�b�@�G�g����
Episode 31 "Hideyoshi's Death" O.A August 14
The title pretty much says everything. Perhaps, the story will focus a bit more on Chacha^^
��32�b�@�]�˂̋S
Episode 32 "The Demon of Edo" O.A August 21
Most probably an episode where Ieyasu starts to show his evil side^^
��33�b�@����̉�
Episode 33 "Tokugawa's Daughter-in-Law" O.A August 28
I'm guessing this episode will have the touching conversation between Gou and Hidetada before Hidetada went off to Sekigahara battle, about their real feelings for each other, and how Gou wants Hidetada to see her as "a Tokugawa woman / a part of the Tokugawa family" and not as "Oda Nobunaga's niece".
��34�b�@�K���V������
Episode 34 "Gracia's Death" O.A September 4
The death of Hosokawa Gracia(Tama), Akechi Mitsuhide's daughter. This was right before the Sekigahara battle. Guessing this episode will focus on the events that lead to the Sekigahara battle.
Predicting that Hidetada won't appear much in Ep24-27, or probably won't appear at all in those eps, as the focus would be mainly on Hidekatsu AKIRA.
Episode 31/32, is where, the story of "AOI-Tokugawa Sandai" starts. Maybe I should watch it simultaneously with "AOI" The timespan of GOU's Ep31-47 (16 eps) would be the same as AOI's Ep1-43 (43 eps), imagine how those stories/plots will be cut short in GOU... aww

Ep20 "Chacha's Romance"
Click on button to reveal/hide spoiler:
Hideyoshi-Chacha's romance.... I feel that it gets too much in this episode. Too melodramatic. It feels like a soap opera romance a bit Last week's Hideyoshi-Chacha's romance plot was better.
Loving Hatsu's opening scene.... esp. when she screams "I'm the happiest woman in this world!" hahahaha!!! Hatsu-rashiii!
Tatsuko: Ladies and gentlemen, sorry to have you wait. Finally, finally... it's time for that person's appearance!! Eh? "Who is it?" you asked? Well, you know... of course, it's him! Hidekichi? Not him. Hide Nakayama? Not him too. Hideki??? Not him!!!
[scrtxt]
Finally
That man appears
Tokugawa Hidetada
Tatsuko: This tall man will be deeply involved in Ogou-sama's life.
Hidetada: I met an interesting girl. Gou-dono. Seem she likes you very much, father.
[scrtxt]
A discord relationship with his father, Ieyasu
Ieyasu: Seem like he doesn't like the fact that I killed my wife and my first son, also let his older brother that he get along very well with, to be hostage.
[scrtxt]
He become Hideyoshi's hostage
Hidetada: If this war is that stupid to you, then it's better not to get involved in it, right?
Ieyasu: What did you say?
Gou: Tokugawa-sama is not that kind of man.
Hidetada: That's strange.
Gou: I hate men who talks too much!
Hidetada: Is that something a woman who talks too much, would say?
Tatsuko: He don't get along with Ogou-sama at all...
Gou: What a cynical man...
[scrtxt]
Meanwhile, Hidekatsu and Gou are...
Hidekatsu: About Gou-dono and me....
Gou: About you and me??
[scrtxt]
Hidetada joins the battle?
Hidetada: Don't tell me, you both like each other?
Tatsuko: Oh no. Is this a love triangle?? What will happen now? This is such a complicated development. But I like it like this.
I love Gou and Hidetada's chemistry, the bickerings and all, and loving Hidetada's cunning smiles, just how I imagine him when I read the book^^
Pls remember that Hidetada is only 12 years old in this trailer.... I guess that's why Gou didn't hold herself back to push him away like that _________________
^ so desu ne. I hoped they would show a bit of the rituals involving change of hairstyle but they never did...

I don't think subtleness was ever a strength of this Taiga...

I always found it great that Taigas would display the names at introduction and often later on, but they should REALLY start adding the characters' age. It's important to justify characters' attitudes and it's not like one can guess from appearance...

In the case of this Taiga, you'd just have more people complaining about the disparity of the character's and actor's ages....

Last week's Hideyoshi-Chacha's romance plot was better.
