Shōgun came to a conclusion with the 10th and final episode “A Dream of a Dream”, and it continued the show’s greatness. Everyone involved should be proud of what they accomplished in this series.

I was dreading watching this final episode. Not because I thought I wasn’t going to like it, because it meant that the show was ending. I love a lot of television, but I truly believe this is one of the best shows of all time.

The performances that we received from the main three in this episode of Toranaga (Hiroyuki Sanada), John Blackthorne (Cosmo Jarvis), and Yabushige (Tadanobu Satō) were tremendous.

The lynchpin for this episode was Toranaga. We finally got his plans laid bare, and he fully revealed himself as the master planner. Sanada plays the character in the finale with an air of confidence and finality in knowing that everything has worked out exactly as he planned. He had the title that he��s been hunting forever directly in front of him: Shōgun.

Finally, we also have revealed Toranaga’s master plan with Blackthorne. “He makes me laugh.” HE MAKES HIM LAUGH! What an outstanding line after everything that Toranaga has put Blackthorne through in the show. Again, as I’ve said repeatedly throughout, Cosmo Jarvis is definitely an acquired taste, but I think he nailed this episode. His pain over losing Mariko was well acted, and I don’t think I could’ve asked for more from him.

“Why tell a dead man the future?”

Tornaga to Yabushige

However, the relationship to focus on in this episode was clearly Toranaga and Yabushige. We learn pretty quickly that Toranaga has learned about Yabushige’s betrayal, and he orders him to come seppuku. The conversation on the hillside between the two old friends was one of my favorites of the entire series. Satō was fantastic throughout the show as Yabushige, and he shined again here.

Shōgun is an utterly brilliant show. I can’t speak highly enough of what they’ve created here. They should win all of the awards.

Tokyo Zombie (2005)

Movie #1,060 • WATCHLIST WEDNESDAYS

Every Wednesday, I mine more than 2K deep Letterboxd watchlist via the shuffle function to find two movies for a rando double feature. I almost always have no recollection as to when, why or how I've added films to this unwieldy mishmosh of a list. So, naturally, results vary.

Case in point: the English-dubbed version of this zombie comedy from mid 2000s Japan. This flick, based on a manga, is as relentlessly pointless as it is unnecessarily creepy and unfortunately homophobic. And it's a real shame about the latter because this would have been a much more fun experience without it. I was reminded somewhat of the TRUE RANDOM selection G.O.R.A. I watched a few years back, although not nearly as egregious re the homophobia. Here being gay (and being molested, ugh) are played for laughs, but without the accompanying vitriol of that pitiful piece of shit. Needless to say, it's still impossible to separate those moments when crafting any critique. It sucks ass!

When they're not busy doing weird/horrible sex jokes, the physical goofs — a mix of practical and shitty 00s CGI — are great and almost border on anti-comedy. Take this weird ventriloquist character who ends up becoming a prince in the post-apocalyptic zombie world...

What is that guy's deal?? I have no idea! The aesthetic is off-the-wall and while it's certainly 'not good' in any conventional way, it works for the zany low-budget tone. I mean, this looks like a lovably bad Wes Anderson rip-off or some shit...

If the whole movie had been stuff like that and scenes like this...

...man, it would have been such a better movie. (Also: What is that fucking music?? lol.) Oh well. I spent way too much time on this review.

SCORE: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½

i just found out something cool!! idk if anyone else already knows but this is new to me!

so this kabuki luffy figure! i love him, his expression is so endearing to me! he’s ferociously cute!! but also! turns out he’s actually dressed as a specific character from kabuki theatre!

this picture is of Ebizo Ichikawa IX (photographed by Elliot Franks), in the role of Sato Tadanobu! Tadanobu was a real japanese samurai that lived from like the 1160s to 1180s, the late heian period.

most importantly, he was one of the shitenno, one of the four heavenly kings! so this mirrors luffy in a way! as he’s one of the four yonkos/emperors!

from what little information i can find on him on the english speaking side of the internet (almost entirely a very short wikipedia page) his life doesn’t really mirror luffy’s in any other way (besides having an older brother, Sato Tsugunobu, that died in war rip). so i really think being a shitenno is the only reason luffy is portraying the kabuki characterization of him!

uuuuhhhh idk thats all!! hope y’all enjoy a cool fun fact! oh and happy pride btw!🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Birushana: Rising Flower of Genpei Part 6 - If endings & Final Review

Tadanobu Sato

It's so cute and funny to imagine Tadanobu giving flowers to girls and being flustered over how to communicate with them haha. HAHAHA, Tadanobu has to be the worst person to find out that Shanao is actually a woman, he's so obvious it's hilarious, I feel bad for Benkei and Shungen constantly trying to cover up his mistakes. It's so funny that it took a whole month of training every day for Tadanobu to go back to how he was with Shanao before haha! I guess it's better than before because he's more comfortable with her now and so honest about what he thinks lol. I guess Tadanobu has a soft spot for women because the live-in maids would always comfort him when he cried as a little kid haha, so sweet and cute.

Tadanobu placing a bellflower on her hair was cute!! Too bad the ending is so short! It actually makes me sad lol! It's like he's a potential LI but you'll never get a proper story with him and that makes it even sadder than if he was just a side character lol. Oh well, it was still cute I guess haha.

Tsugunobu Sato

How typical for Tsugunobu to discover Shanao is a woman because he went into her room thinking she was injured. It's random but honestly, I feel the same as Tsugunobu. When I used to have problems that I didn't know what to do about, I would sit outside my primary school and just look at the moon for a bit on my walk home. I never stayed for too long, but gazing at the moon always helped calm me a little bit before going home and having to act normal in front of my family. Tsugunobu blushing is so cute! It was so sweet how he noticed the little things Shanao does when she's happy hahaha, just imagining it makes me think they're so cute. Tsugunobu was so bold to kiss her fingers like that! I love the CG.

Overall, I didn't mind this ending. I think it was quite cute and Tsugunobu is quite gentlemanly and sweet. I think it's nice to imagine Shanao and Tsugunobu bonding by gazing at the moon together and sharing their thoughts together. But I'll admit that the main reason Tsugunobu is nice is because he has a pretty face hahaha!

Takatsuna Sasaki

It's kinda funny that all these guys names start with T lol. Considering how playful, innocent and cute Takatsuna looks, he's much more reliable than expected! I kinda thought he was more of a reliable messenger guy that does alot of fieldwork going around to different places for Yoritomo, but he seems to know everything, like a capable assistant/secretary for Yoritomo haha! It's kinda cute how Shanao just kinda told Takatsuna that she's actually a woman, I feel like she could have continued to deceive him but yeah, the route is short so might as well get that part out of the way lol. It's sweet to see Takatsuna thank Shanao for protecting Yoritomo with her powers. I like how Takatsuna took her out to play and got her to explore makeup, so cute!

Overall, I honestly didn't expect much from Takatsuna but I think he's much cuter and vibrant than I thought. Like, I thought he would be quite boring tbh, but I think he's quite adorable in that he's unafraid to voice his thoughts, he's a reliable leader to others but at the same time he's also very playful and knows how to get Shanao to relax and just be herself for a moment. It was refreshing to see them not have to think about war or anything and just be a bunch of youths playing around.

Shigehira Taira

Shigehira is such an ass to everyone and I love it. I think the idea of it being him going to Hiraizumi to observe Shanao and them to see if they want to rebel against the Heike is such a fun touch because he obviously doesn't care and just wants to go around annoying people for his amusement. I love how he bothered to get a servant to get Shanao for him only to tell her to get water for him lmao. And I think it's quite cute that Shigehira's interest in Shanao stems from the fact that Tomomori is interested in Shanao and he wants to understand why when his brother is never interested in anything. I like how Shigehira is the one following Shanao around but because he thinks that her plans for the day are boring, he forces her to change them lolll. It was hilarious when she asked him what games are good (for children) to play and he starts talking about drinking and killing people🤣

It's so cute and innocent how the children have no idea who the Heike are and how that is relevant. Hiraizumi really is a nice place. I find it really sweet to see Shigehira get to play these children's games with other children though. He always wanted to play more with Tomomori and Tokuko when they were young but due to Tomomori basically getting traumatised from being forced to fight in war and Tokuko being taken over by Rengetsu, he never got to continue having that "fun childhood" he had playing with his siblings in their dreams, so I guess he's always chasing after this "fun" to this day to make up for that hole. He's such a kid that it's adorable tbh. It was so sad to see that all the adults Shigehira played with as a child let him win and called him smart when they never seriously played with him. It's also so sad but cute how Shigehira doesn't really know what a 'friend' is because he's never had one before since everyone around him is ranked. Shigehira blushing at Shanao laughing at him for being scared of Tomomori's ghost stories was so cute hahaha!! Especially since he didn't want to be alone in his room at night lol. How does this adorable little boy survive when he runs around everywhere haha!

I guess what makes me can't help but love Shigehira is how much he loves his family and how much he wants to spend time with them. He follows Tomomori around because he wants to be with his brother. All his happy memories are of his childhood when his father took him out or when he used to play with Tomomori and Tokuko. Shanao taking care of the sick Shigehira was very sweet. I love the CG where he hugs Shanao and says he doesn't want to give her to Tomomori. Considering how Tomomori is basically his priority in life, the fact that he likes Shanao so much that he's not willing to give her up to him is very heartwarming to me. I think the sweetest thing was that in this short little story, Shigehira learnt that someone choosing to be with you rather than being ordered to be with you is so much more precious and desirable. I loved it when he told her that he didn't want to force her to be with him and that instead he wants her to choose to be with him of her own free will.

Overall, I definitely think Shigehira's If Ending is the best! It felt very natural, realistic and didn't have them stay together for random reasons and instead acknowledged that they liked and understood each other better but still had their respective positions to think about. I think his character development was the best and I honestly think it actually made me feel like I learnt so much more about Shigehira as a character through this ending and he was just so cute because of how childish but sweet and innocent he was compared to his usual crazy murderous self. Definitely looking forward to his route in the FD! Surprisingly, I would say I liked Takatsuna second best, then Tadanobu and Tsugunobu. I feel like the latter two never explored further into their personalities enough to make me think that was something I never knew about them or expected, so hopefully the FD will help with that haha. I very much hope to play the FD one day because I'll legit buy it just for Shigehira, my one true love hahahah.

Final review

Overall, I think people hyped up Birushana for me too much so I don't feel like I enjoyed it as much as I thought it would. People said it was like a 'better Hakuoki' but I personally love Hakuoki so much more. Although I don't like the supernatural elements in Hakuoki either, I liked the way they used it in the story more than in Birushana because I think it better explored the pain of having that power but also the need for it since the characters are based on real people and they would have died at that point in time if not for it. Hakuoki also never delved too much into it and instead focused on the characters struggles with it, whereas Birushana tried to tie it up with Rengetsu etc but I feel like it would have been better left as a mystery because I didn't like the Rengetsu thing at all lol. I do appreciate that all of the routes in Birushana are different enough though and I think most of them were interesting enough. My personal list from most favourite route to least favourite route would be Yoritomo, Benkei, Noritsune, Tomomori and then Shungen. I just love the pain and anguish demonstrated by Yoritomo in his route, it was my favourite moment haha. And Benkei is such a softie, he made me cry at how gentle and kind he was. He was the best guy to come back from work to and listen to because he was always so encouraging, so full of belief in Shanao and so caring. Noritsune gave me strength to stand on my own two feet and be unafraid of stepping out of my comfort zone if it means I'm living according to my beliefs and dreams. And I didn't feel much for Tomomori and Shungen's routes haha, sorry.

But yeah, I've realised that my mood can really affect how much I like a route too. I would rate the game a 7/10 probably because I don't think the overarching story was interesting enough for me, but I loved the characters struggles, especially Shanao's. I think her struggles in each route were different enough to not be boring, but understandable enough that it wasn't annoying. I liked her struggles with her identity, her responsibilities and how each LI helped her get through it and how she helped each LI better themselves. I can see why people really like Shanao, because I do too! However, the story just didn’t click enough for me sadly.

19th century Japanese Firemen’s Coats Each firefighter in a given brigade was outfitted with a special reversible coat (hikeshi banten), plain but for the name of the brigade on one side and decorated with richly symbolic imagery on the other. Made of several layers of quilted cotton fabric, using a process called the sashiko technique, and resist-dyed using the tsutsugaki method, these coats would be worn plain-side out and thoroughly soaked in water before the firefighters entered the scene of the blaze.

A scene famous from prints and Kabuki plays - the samurai Sato Tadanobu, ambushed by enemies while playing the game Go, is unable to reach his weapons so defends himself with the game's heavy wooden table, scattering the black and white stone game pieces 3.
