Storyline
Did you know
- Crazy creditsThe opening credit sequence is a modified version of a zen garden. This style of garden is often referred to as karesansui, which means "not using water."The two main elements of a Zen or karesansui (pronounced "kah-ray-sahn-soo-ee") garden are rocks to represent mountains (or islands) and sand to represent water. The sand used in Zen gardens is not beach sand; it is actually crushed or decomposed granite, small pebbles, or fine gravel. The particles of crushed granite are angular rather than round, so they can be more easily raked into patterns. Moreover, ripples in the sand or gravel represent flowing water or ripples in the ocean.
Featured review
The Abyss if Life
This series is already a masterpiece before it even ended.
Every single character was developed thouroughly and given enough time for the viewer to truly understand their actions.
Never been this immersed in a Japanese story before.
I'd give most episodes around 8.5 to 9 stars, but this one has to be a 10. I even made this account just to be able to say that.
Is Shogun Worth Watching?
Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to watch "Shogun" rests with the individual viewer. Those seeking a thought-provoking historical drama with complex characters may find themselves captivated by the series.
However, viewers who prioritize clear narrative structure and consistent characters might be frustrated by "The Abyss of Life" and similar episodes.
