Television Shogun

[Flower2dPeople]

I'm a big fan of the older version. Chamberlain also had a much more charming appearance that he could realistically make the Japanese women wet. In this version, Cosmo Jarvis looks more like a clueless dog.

Mariko (Yoko Shimada) had an elegance and a way of carrying her body so that it almost floated above the earth. This series' Mariko doesn't even look like a Japanese one, more a mix between a Thai and a Cambodian.

She's the same actress in the godzilla series. Looks more jungle asian than japanese even thought she's ethnically japanese. She would never made it past any idol/commercial/tv audition in Japan. Maybe konbini clerk. Night shift. Where she'll only cater to drunk customers.

Only bad thing so far about the show is we haven't seen the hot hooker lady since E1.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Do they got Yabu boiling people alive in the new one?

He did it once so far in E1 (a random guy from John's crew).

Gai-Jin was so friggin boring I don't know how you got through 900 pages of that.

My man

Was actually hoping she would show up lmao

 

[GSP_37]

Definitely would have casted a much hotter actress to be Mariko.

I read the hot naughty ho is to be in a few episodes.

I demand the ho get her own spin off show! If her character gets killed off, let her equally hot and naughty twin sister headline the spin off show.

 

[Bojka]

Very good show so far. This and Tokyo Vice are two of the best shows on TV atm.

 

[rivera]

Show has been excellent so far.

Like who?

Like who?

What one thinks of hotness in women is highly personal taste.

What I think is missing from the new Mariko is the portrayal of a traditionally beautiful Iwate woman who inspires the admiration of ordinary Japanese. Body posture and an elegance that make those who get to experience an original Mariko feel very special.

In Japan, appearance is highly hierarchical, just like in South Korea. You have degrees for what you can make a reality of it in all areas of society. And at the top of that list is a woman like Mariko.

But if I were to decide on the casting of Mariko myself, I can name a few.

Minami Hinabe

Suzu Hirose

Nana Komatsu

Toranaga was bald (like most Samurai) and he had a fat belly. He wasn’t skinny with a full head of gray hair.

Toshiro Mifune was not bald either in his Toranaga role.

 

[Sirwastealot]

Looks incredible, exactly my kind of show.

And that actor in the thumbnail, hes great in everything i've seen him in.

 

[Streeter]

Still cannot find an app that has the old shogun series.

 

[GSP_37]

Like who?

Without giving it much thought, Riho Yoshioka.

China Matsuoka, Aimi Yoshikawa(?).

What about public library?

What about public library?

Whachoo talking bout Willis?

Whachoo talking bout Willis?

Here, public library used to have VHS, and has DVD. Something old like Shogun might be in public library in their DVD collection.

Pardon my ignorance, this is a remake? Where could I find the original?
