Comments
Im a bit late since I’ve only just started watching the show but just to add to your comment Japan was first introduced to guns in the 15th century thanks to the Portuguese. Although there were firearms in china beforehand they weren’t widespread, plus Japan was very inwardly focused and isolationist and so had barely any contact with mainland east Asia

2024-10-01 12:27:21 +0000 UTCI know this is an old comment, but... Real japanese history is as good as a source as the book, so I don't see why a second season couldn't be well made.

2024-07-20 15:50:44 +0000 UTCTbh the finale was garbage, it's ridiculous how this lead people are allowed to do such a series. Literally the worst Star Wars series so far😩 ONLY the fights been cool, that's the only thing I have to admit

2024-07-20 09:52:56 +0000 UTCIf Shōgun’s events feel like they’re based in historical fact, that’s because the story follows a real-life power struggle. Author James Clavell borrowed many historical figures from the seventeenth century for his 1975 novel of the same name—which greatly dramatized the story of the Tokugawa shogunate and the first Englishman to sail to Japan. Although Clavell beefed up both the story of John Blackthorne’s arrival in Japan and his influence on Tokugawa’s ascent, many of the characters and events depicted on Shōgun are inspired by real historical figures.

A (Daddy Daichi)
2024-07-19 23:16:46 +0000 UTCI think the reason Yabushige is about to kill himself is because he's about to drown anyway so he'd rather die by the sword, which is seen as a more honorable way to go. That's just my assumption though.
Andy tee
2024-07-19 12:08:01 +0000 UTCwait when i was watching the show i thought the japanese thought english language is portuguese cause theyre the only country that reached japan, thats why they refer to blackthorn and the others as portuguese speaker, seems like the only logical explanation

2024-07-18 16:53:12 +0000 UTCI loved this show, but tbh, I'm kinda disappointed that they're making a second season. Season 1 covers the entire book and is pretty respectful to the source material. The popularity of the show got Max to sign off on s2 purely for money. This doesn't always turn out great...

2024-07-17 23:54:42 +0000 UTCYou're right, it has some good themes, I just didn't like how they went about it. The british guy is definitely supposed to be funny though lol. The foreigner comes into a different country and learn its ways trope has been done a bunch of times and better imo, like idk Avatar and The Last Samurai comes to mind, recently Dune 2. The japanese politics is a nice differential but I didn't like how they did it at all, politics can be fun, like GoT or Sucession, but I didn't like Shogun's way of handling it.

~Mercedeez Lee~
2024-07-17 23:36:09 +0000 UTCAll you’re saying is facts, as someone who has read many similar stories ( novels and manga ) to Shogun. It hits on theme perfectly from start to finish. It’s a well thought out ( historic ) fictional story, it does not miss
~Mercedeez Lee~
2024-07-17 23:27:36 +0000 UTCInteresting points, thanks for sharing. This is how crazy POV can be though bc to me John was not meant to be funny at all, the full comedy relief came with the Spanish guy, but the subtle "funny" guy from the beginning was Yabushige, his whole mannerisms were amazing 👏. I still think you're looking at this as "culture shock" tv when imo it's not even about that at all. I think in part is about human interactions to the unknown, which definitely continue today. It's still the same craziness calling ppl savages from both sides and not even knowing you're being called the same. Idk what you could call that, hypocrisy doesn't sound right. And I feel the frustration comes from a lack of patience although its a different kind orrrr too much feeling where it turned you off cause you wanted to do something but of course it's tv lol, idk.

Vik Mar
2024-07-17 22:16:48 +0000 UTCI think Shogun is the best show of 2024. Yes, even better than HOTD. It is so rich with nuance in so many ways that its easy to miss the fine detail that conveys much of the important meaning in the way characters communicate, telling more than what is obvious at first glance. There are many scenes where you may find yourself completely confused as to what actually happened because you dont know the meaning of a phrase, or a gesture, or a cultural reference in a specific context. So I recommend looking it up online whenever you find yourselves confused or if you feel like there may have been something "else" left hanging that you didnt understand completely. It will enrich your understanding and appreciation of the story, the characters, and the whole show so much. Those examples show how MUCH you can infuse a "script" without using ANY words, but just using context and implied meaning while saying so much more than words ever could. It is marvelously done in this show.

2024-07-17 21:52:11 +0000 UTCI thought it was alright. Some cool stuff but to me it just incapsulated the poor writing and what this show could have been. Found myself getting taken out of it a lot

Daenerys Targaryen
2024-07-17 21:35:38 +0000 UTCI thought it was interesting, especially since I’m learning a little japenese, how different the language is in this show since it’s back in the 1600s. Sounds a lot more formal and longer words. Kind of how English was way different back then also.
Nonos
2024-07-17 20:24:26 +0000 UTCIt’s cool that you guys haven’t read the book or know a whole lot about the history/culture of Japan at that time. Means you guys are like a group of John Blackthornes, trying to make sense of it all along with him.
Michael H
2024-07-17 19:57:37 +0000 UTCAlso, like, I know a lot of my concerns lie with the way they chose to show the culture but as I've said I've seen a lot of Japanese shit and a lot of it done better, maybe because they weren't 100% focused on the etiquette and the bureaucracy of it all, which to me, naturally, it was frustrating and a lot of times boring.
Matheus Eduardo Jezini
2024-07-17 18:25:22 +0000 UTCMore Naruto and GoT and less Midgun please
Matheus Eduardo Jezini
2024-07-17 18:20:47 +0000 UTCI get all of that. I think the production was really good, some of the actors were excellent and there are a few pieces of dialogue throughout that surprised me. I just think the "culture shock" being the main thing for a while was done in a bland way. "Here's british quirky guy surprised for the 37283th time that things are different here" and I actually liked him as a comedic character, but for narrative it became way too on the nose for me, like, some characters seem straight up a caricature. I liked Mariko's character somewhat, I won't spoil anything but her suppressed anger was nicely done, but again everything else was just too frustrating for me. Some of the acting got on my nerves as well, like the girl "villain" that allies herself with the other dude in the council by the end. There's a lot to rant about and not too much to praise imo. It was a lot of -borinh things keep happening... Hey funny british guy being funny! Oh more boring things again... oh good character moment! More boring stuff then they tease you for something big and it keeps not happening, and even though it's explained and it makes sense it doesn't make for good tv.

2024-07-17 17:59:36 +0000 UTCSorry one more thing, don't think is fair to compare to GOT because like you said the culture is totally different and the overall situation of the stories is just too biased in my opinion.
S0uL YgR
2024-07-17 17:57:57 +0000 UTCHmm, you've seen a lot of this done in a non-boring way but this one feels stiff because of the culture, so you mean seen a lot of dialogue pieces not within this culture correct? Also, I think the overly dramatic moments you refer to are not meant to hype per say, but for viewers to understand the intensity of the moment so I see/hear the music as if it was the racing heart of the character. If you know the culture is boring, not my case,so it's kinda sad because it's like diminishing the efforts of the production. I believe they're for the most part Asian and goes beyond just a series, and from what I saw it does show based on the risks of being "boring." Sorry for the rant

A (Daddy Daichi)
2024-07-17 13:24:56 +0000 UTCSo, Blackthorn/John Williams is an English navigator, sailing for the Portugese. Every non-japanese in the show speaks English (to us). Every non-japanese except for Blackthorn and the Dutchman is likely Portugese. But Blackthorn is the only character in-show that actually identifies as an Englishman (working as/for portugese)?

Matheus Eduardo Jezini
2024-07-17 12:41:04 +0000 UTCI love that you really like it but it's not about patience. Like someone else said if it's your first interaction with japanese culture it might be really interesting but in my case it's not. It's doing stuff I've seen a lot of and in a boring way. I love heavy dialogue when it's good, like GoT, here in Shogun because of the culture it always feels stiff, even when they're doing the poems which I'm not a big fan of. The show is just very frustrating because people want to get shit done but they can't because of the bureaucracy of the culture. It's too overly dramatic at times and I get why but sometimes it seems the author of the book just wanted to display all these things but couldn't do it in a super interesting way.
Matheus Eduardo Jezini
2024-07-17 12:36:31 +0000 UTCThis show is incredible! The acting, set, cast, well done fx. I think it's one of the best recent series/seasons out there. Curious to see how they'll feel about it!

2024-07-17 07:54:06 +0000 UTCAnd the whole hierarchy and who holds power will be much clearer as you continue to watch. But basically, the Taiko is the de facto leader of Japan, but he died and 5 regents (someone who rules when there is no sovereign ruler) now control Japan. We saw these 5 at the council, about Toranaga getting impeached. And Yabushige is the Lord of Izu (where John’s ship is), which is in Kanto region which is controlled by Toranaga.

2024-07-17 07:16:09 +0000 UTCah okay i dont pay too much attention to the comments i just saw it in the comments for the house of the dragon episode. Looking forward to it
Fleshtotem
2024-07-17 07:16:02 +0000 UTC@Sun (sorry for the long post) Lord Yabushige wasn’t just trying to save face, he was mainly attempting to control his own fate. Rodrigues said before the storm that the “attitude” in Japan is to accept fate since it is uncontrollable and everything is connected, life and death. He thought he was going to die due to the waves crashing into him and being unable to climb out. So he pulled out his sword and was going to kill himself, trying to control his own fate while preserving his honor. He felt that the rope falling on him right before he was going to die was too convenient to be a coincidence and that his “true” fate wasn’t to die just yet. So he accepts the rope, also accepting that he has no control over his own fate/life, and embraces that his life and his death are dictated by an outside and uncontrollable force like destiny. I just wanted to add that, he was also chasing after death or rather the moment before death. So him about to kill himself could (in addition to what I previously said) be a way to control his own mortality and him accepting the rope is him surrendering, accepting, and acknowledging his own powerlessness. I might be reading too deep into this and he just accepted the rope because he wanted to live but that’s my whole interpretation of the matter.
Enma
2024-07-17 07:14:23 +0000 UTCYO! Rewatching this, shit makes so much more sense now. Things I saw my first watch that didn’t mean much have so much more meaning. This is definitely a show to watch through again 😮
Taylor Blackwell
2024-07-17 07:07:13 +0000 UTCWill you have a stroke if they don't watch Dark immediately? It's 15 episodes across 2 shows. That's like a month depending on how fast they upload
SirCatelot
2024-07-17 07:00:19 +0000 UTCTo be fair, Brig had a comment that said the next episode for The Boys was coming the following day before they announced on said day that they were dropping The Boys.
Christopher
2024-07-17 06:49:00 +0000 UTCLike the geks said, the connections and everything can be a bit confusing, but everything becomes clearer as it goes on. I guess if you are going into it with know historical knowledge, it can be even more confusing. The pilot (Anjin) is English (Protestant) and speaks Portuguese (which is always being spoken when the Anjin is not talking to his men) (Catholic) and sails for the Dutch East India Trading Company. The relationship that Japan has with Portugal is clarified quite a bit in the next episode(s).

Guadalupe Sierpes
2024-07-17 06:17:08 +0000 UTCA little bit of historical context about the rivalry between English and Dutch against the Portuguese and Spaniards: In 1600, the world's power dynamics were very different from today: Protestant England had been forced to defend Elizabeth I's throne from Spanish invasion in 1588, with the Spanish Armada intent on reinstating Catholicism and ending English support for Dutch independence from Spain. Spain was by this time in a dynastic union with Portugal; the two countries had previously divided the oceanic domains beyond Europe with the 1494 Treaty of Tordesillas. Like a vanguard of global exploration (that's why the Japanese believed Portugal and Spain were the only countries in Europe, and of course Spain and Portugal kept their discovers of new lands a secret from the rest of the European continent), Portugal discovered Japan in 1543 – and began to trade Western goods such as matchlock firearms with them while also spreading the Catholic faith via the introduction of Jesuit missionaries. This context serves as the backdrop to Blackthorne's history in Shogun.

2024-07-17 06:13:50 +0000 UTCThey definitely make me want to vote against Dark every time now 😩😂 but they said they were gonna watch it. So I don't understand all this yapping and crying in the comments. If you don't even like the show why are you here?

2024-07-17 04:29:41 +0000 UTCLike I said in another comment you actually replied too 🤭 I think this show is awsome in the fact it strays away from the shallow action/drama packed series now a days. I believe they are trying to give a more detailed view on their culture, including the importance of dialogue/words, hence them making a scene to show it more clearly I guess. I understand not everyone has the patience for conversations anymore but the script is really good not becoming boring for those of us that can appreciate it. In comparison some other shows are terrible at even the basics of the interactions/conversations between characters.

2024-07-17 04:02:56 +0000 UTCThey will do Chernobyl then Dark most likely. Which is a better idea
SirCatelot
2024-07-17 03:57:33 +0000 UTCthis show is so good idk why people hating. obviously dark is way more plot heavy but this a whole different genre. it’s like comparing apples to oranges. they’re both great in their respective lanes. anyways for the people who watched already fuji and mariko 🙂↕️🙂↕️🙂↕️

2024-07-17 03:56:10 +0000 UTCJokes but they both are overhyped
Alex
2024-07-17 03:49:54 +0000 UTCGreat reaction I'm happy you guys enjoyed it so far. Can't wait for the next episode. And I love History too it's amazing
Ana
2024-07-17 03:49:01 +0000 UTCShogun is historical fiction, and some of the events and characters are loosely based on actual events, or on real people that existed.

2024-07-17 03:48:16 +0000 UTCYou really against me huh
A (Daddy Daichi)
2024-07-17 03:47:01 +0000 UTCthe title of the first episode “Anjin” is sick since it means “Pilot” (pilot episode and also blackthorne the pilot who they refer to as anjin)
nans
2024-07-17 03:41:49 +0000 UTCHiroyuki Sanada is one of the legends. Hope you guys consider adding The Last Samurai to your list of movies to react to if you haven’t already seen it. It stars Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe, and our Toranaga-sama. Really good movie! 👍🏻👍🏻
Ashley K
2024-07-17 03:28:56 +0000 UTCExcited for this. Them speaking Japanese remind me of Naruto Lol
Muhammad Affan
2024-07-17 03:24:37 +0000 UTCI definitely got a Black Sails vibe, mainly from the Anjin, but that quickly changed as the episodes went on. His performance and the setting and all the Japanese performances quickly validated the series imo
Paul Durbin
2024-07-17 03:24:07 +0000 UTCAlso, Vikings is just nuts. It’s GoT with Vikings and no high fantasy elements like killer shadows and dragons. If that ‘GoT but XYZ’ formula is what you’re after, that is a good recommendation and also Black Sails—GoT but with pirates
Tom Murray
2024-07-17 03:21:45 +0000 UTCthis show feels more like black sails than game of thrones in my opinion
Zechree
2024-07-17 03:19:46 +0000 UTCSome explanations: When you hear English spoken in this show, it’s Portuguese. It’s English for the show’s sake and for the audience. Do some refreshing on Protestant and Catholic histories and relations by the time 1600, this show’s setting, comes. The show assumes there’s an informed knowledge. Particularly how the Pope got involved in the age of exploration. To put a GoT angle onto it, think of the 5 regents as warlord kings of 5 kingdom’s that make up the ‘realm’ that co-rule until the heir comes of age. The fiefs would be like the states inside these kingdoms, each governed by ‘banner men’ that are ultimately expected to be loyal to the province/liege they are in and its warlord. Yobushige is one of those banner men for Toranaga. Samurai are not just warriors. They are experienced and profound in many non-combat aspects of the culture, including poetry The terms Shogun and Taiko are functionally the same in most ways. They are both single rulers similar to an emperor, and achieved that station through unifying the realm via military force. But shogun is more like a dirty word because of its history. I am not an expert on feudal Japanese history, so I’m very much open to someone correcting that
Tom Murray
2024-07-17 03:19:40 +0000 UTCDon’t worry, it’s lots of info in the first ep, but you’ll hear it repeated and get used to faces/names. And you’re right, when we hear English between John and a non-english person(rodrigues, the spy), it’s them speaking Portuguese.
Elle B.
2024-07-17 03:18:55 +0000 UTCBrigg generally values action more than the other members, as evidenced by his reactions, particularly for Vinland Saga Season 2. Therefore, I would take his opinion with a grain of salt.
Onizuka
2024-07-17 03:18:38 +0000 UTCShogun is a truly sensational show. It's one of the few shows that give me a vibe similar to watching Game of Thrones. Don't let the negative commenters confuse you... I don't think they've even seen this show.

2024-07-17 03:16:48 +0000 UTCLet's go!! I really enjoyed this show. I forgot how good it looks, location/set design/costuming are all on point.
alee
2024-07-17 03:11:52 +0000 UTCDidnt they drop it because of copyright? I'm going to assume they really just didn't want to watch it because they would have figured something out

2024-07-17 02:59:05 +0000 UTCSo interested to see what your thoughts are on this apparently hate it or love it show 👀 Just finished it last night and right back to the start with you.
S0uL YgR
2024-07-17 02:56:43 +0000 UTCBut that's sorta the point, to show the details of their culture and not just the usual stuff most already know. Definitely not for everyone but it definitely deserves respect at least for the risk of being a dialogue series instead of shallow action and drama.
S0uL YgR
2024-07-17 02:54:39 +0000 UTCSad. From the interviews I've seen there's more to it than just making another show to go viral and make money. But cool if it's not your type.

Legendarygamer
2024-07-17 02:33:44 +0000 UTCThey're just mad their show didn't win. Same negative crap per usual
Ana
2024-07-17 02:32:26 +0000 UTCShogun is good & well acted. It'll probs be good for youtube since it was released this year. Hope you watch Dark next, since its pretty unique compared to anything live action watched so far. Either way hope ppl can sit back & enjoy the reactions.

Lydia
2024-07-17 02:09:40 +0000 UTCFor sure. Only 10 eps and Hiroyuki Sanada is the goat Japanese actor. It’s a fun watch you just gotta be dialed because theirs so many names and relationships and houses kinda like GOT. Except it’s in Japanese so it’s a little harder to internalize lol
Mitch
2024-07-17 02:08:53 +0000 UTCI know I was waiting up for the Tuesday night drop. Praying this show isn’t going to bump GOT off the 2 a week schedule. We already went from 3 GOT a week to only two.

Darrell Henry
2024-07-17 01:55:41 +0000 UTCThey just build up like something major is about to happen and very little does. Half of the show is just culture shock, if you are not new to Japanese culture it's just routine.
