I don't know how you can be both executive producer and main actor and still deliver a level of quality like this. Hiroyuki Sanada must be a great multi-tasker
@@yaseralharbi4641 executive producers are for financing but Hiroyuki Sanada is not an executive producer, just “producer”. I don’t know what he did in that role for Shogun, but in general producers do a ton for films. They handle most of the logistics like hiring people, scheduling, and commonly weighing in on all sorts of creative decisions
Kashigi Yabushige was my favorite character hands down. His mannerisms were so funny. The whole cast was awesome, lead and supporting, but Yabushige was my guy.
Yoshii Toranaga is the mythical embodiment of the famous japanese warlord, Ieyasu Tokugawa. Seeing Hiroyuki Sanada portray Toranaga is a treat. I wouldn't doubt the success of this series since, in my opinion, its casts are considered big stars in japan and are serious actors: Hiroyuki Sanada, Tadanobu Asano and Takehiro Hira
As someone born back in the 70's, I grew up with the original show with Toshiro Mifune and Richard Chamberlain...loved it sooo much and saw it several times...more than 30 years later comes a remake and I must say although the main story is similar, there are many differences...I'm a huge fan of Hiroyuki Zanada and after being an awesome action oriented side character in many films, now he is the main star and the energy and charisma shining from him in the role of Toranaga is incredible! Like very much the new Mariko also, super devoted to her role...Blackthorne is okay, but actors playing Jabushido and Ishido are awesome in their roles too...New show is in much darker tone, but the level of authenticity and attention to detail is just mind blowing...Once I stopped comparing both shows, I started to truly enjoy the new one and can hardly wait from one week to another for the next episode...
i too loved the original, but I think the biggest difference between the original and the new one is that the original focused more on Blackthorne as the main character and the new one focused more on the story and the Japanese players in the story.
His character is what makes the story very unique. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes deceitful, sometimes honourable, sometimes courageous, sometimes cowardly, sometimes wise and sometimes foolish. The book as well as the writrrs of the show have made him exceptional. And rightly that sob demands my respect and i gave him amply. Arigato yabu-sama
Yea i agree, even tho he had one man boiled to death in the first episode, i still liked his character. He was a sadist and that actor portrayed the lack of empathy and other traits that points towards the fact that he is a genuine psychopath fascinated by death very well.
I absolutely am obsessed with this series. It's is so so well done. The acting is superb and cinematography is breath taking. Exceeded my expectations. It better win some awards. I look forward to more episodes. Please
Sadly it's been confirmed it was a one and done as it followed the storyline of the novel to its conclusion. Hopefully though they may try and adapt some of Clavell's other novels into a screenplay. e.g. Tai-Pan
Other way round for me . He cant act is so wooden and his voice In real life far better than his richard burton impersonation as blackthorne. Terrible.
I think James Clavell and Toshiro Mifune would be proud of Hiroyuki Sanada's Toranaga. He's jaw dropping. And I think Anna is the definitive Mariko-san.
The real star for me is Yabushige. His story arc and the acting was, for me, the most deep and poetic. Then Mariko, then Toranaga, then Anjin. All of them great however!!!
One of the best made TV shows iv ever witnessed. I was so impressed I saw 10 episodes in 3 days. Couldn't take my eyes of it. Kosmo I think his name is played John so well. I hope to see him in more stuff. I'm shore Taranoka guy was in a film called sunshine with Cillian Murphy. I loved that film. Big thumb 👍 up to everyone who made this show. I was blown away by the story and a great finale. I'd love to see more about John's life after this and who he settled down with. I can't remember the women name. But I tought when they put the ashes into the water it was a emotional and loving moment between two cultures. Showing we are from different places. But we all have similar hearts . So very enjoyable series thanks fX
I really, REALLY want to know the primary camera/lens combo. It's the very first thing I noticed when I started watching. The vignette and anamorphism is spellbinding. It works beautifully in the storytelling.
The under appreciated acting and directing skills these characters and actors accomplished is the acting without saying a word. The facial expressions and body language, especially from the women actors are so subtle but meaningful and expressive that you hardly realize it. It’s something that good actors and directors understand and pull off. It is key in this period piece because women were suppressed and didn’t say much but yet the movie had to make it a big part of the movie because the women had key parts. Awesome!
?? This is supposed to be about the making of... yet there are no 'behind the scenes' clips and absolutely NOTHING shown about the 'making of' folks. (Just a bunch of brief cameo comments from the cast!)
Une des meilleures séries que j’ai pu voir , dans mon top cinq en numéro 1 Elle va me manquer C’est un ravissement pour le cœur et les émotions qu’elle dégage Un chef d’œuvre ❤❤❤❤❤ Je m’attendais néanmoins assister à des bataille épique, mais tant pis
What a gift this is!!! By the end of the 1st episode, I saw a parallel between the events leading to another Civil War and the events in the USA taking the same route. (Don't mean to get political) but here's what I heard The Regent Council was appointed to protect the heir (our constitution). Instead, they seek to usurp the heir/Constitution and set up their own government and power. Toronaga has sworn to protect the heir (constitution) and said "We cannot allow the realm to be torn apart!" Of course, Toronaga is playing 3-D chess here and while he sees what's at stake and makes moves that will have a ripple effect. He well knows the character of those he defends the heir from the Regent Council is made up of individuals who have no honor, are weak, evil and power-hungry.
sadly no. its only going to have 10 episodes for this season. I already saw all 10 episodes back in january and you will be satisfied by the time you see the ending. it will defnitely win multiple emmys next year im sure of it.
it's fun to watch, but not a very good adaptation of Clavell's novel. Clavell wrote it from the perspective of an Englishman stranded in Japan. This series has made him out to be a secondary character, rather than the main character, for whatever reason.
Hiroyuki Sanada better be winning some well deserved awards for this, not only the acting but also producer.
He really deserves it, he is great in this series
I don't know how you can be both executive producer and main actor and still deliver a level of quality like this. Hiroyuki Sanada must be a great multi-tasker
team dont want to die..
He is an excellent actor in this type pf performance, but producing is just financing, isn't it.

Amazing show. The writing, the cast, the costumes....... everything. We need more shows like this.

Еще и девушка эта, из Монарха
This is the first work since directed by Akira Kurosawa that expresses the image of the Japanese samurai, and is a wonderful piece of work.
I hate that the actor who plays Ichido is such a classy and well spoken man, goddamn you! 😄
Ha ha ha I know right? Look at that happy smile and his excellent English. 🥰
He really is classy and it shows even when he's playing Ishido
Lol I loved him and crushed on him in another show where he's the lead called Giri/Haji on Netflix. He's sooo different in Shogun, amazing!
I have to say the costumes in this show are exquisite
Mariko ep 9 blew me away... Incredibly powerful and fierce. Loved it!!!!
My god this show was perfection.

Yabushige probably the most likable rat in any film adaptations.
yeah i liked this son of B😄
My favorite character, he is just so loveable even when he is being sketchy

SPOILERS: he even died a badass ! that nonchalant belly stab and the smile on his face when he looked back at Toranaga what a legend
The 2 greatest Japanese actors of their time, Toshiro Mifune and Hiroyuki Sanada, each played Yoshi Toronaga (Tokugawa Ieyasu)
Yagushige character should have won something on the Emmy award. This guy is a fantastic actor!
Shogun said s an amaaaaaazing show! We need more movies with Hiroyuki Sanada!! 🙏🙏🙏
Anna Sawai for Emmy best supporting actress she’s been incredible!!
you mean BEST ACTRESS!
Supporting? She's the mais character alongside Toranaga and John. By the way, she got the Best Actress award.
all the actors were incredible.
I like Buntaro. The show portrays him as an opponent to overcome for Blackthorne but he is a quintessential samurai.
Yeah he just wanted his wife to love him😂 and such a fucking badass
God, every ep is amazing. Sadly two more episodes to go... I will miss it greatly
This show was so fantastically done
This is slowly becoming my top3 series of all time. True detective s1 is in the first place.
And Band Of Brothers, Chernobyl, Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Game Of Thrones S1-6, Stranger Things, The Sopranos, and Mr. Robot
@@brysonfreeman7226err The Wire?
@@brysonfreeman7226 The Wire
Yesss! Indeed! Is a masterpiece 💕
Breaking Bad, Black Sails, True Detective S1, Game of Thrones S1-4, The Wire, Twin Peaks and now Shogun o7
I absolutely am obsessed with this series. It's is so so well done. The acting is superb and cinematography is breath taking. Exceeded my expectations. It better win some awards. I look forward to more episodes. Please
The whole cast was amazing! I hope the show wins lots of awards
Why are their faces just soo memorable. Like all of their faces and the way they acted fit the character.
I can't wait for the blu ray. I've watched this series 2x already. I NEED ANOTHER SEASON PLEASE!

@@garyyoung3179 at this point I don't care if they make up a story. I just want at least a 2nd season
Blackthorn actor is really good at acting especially after seeing some of his interviews. Guy is stiff board but can act very well.
Other way round for me . He cant act is so wooden and his voice
In real life far better than his richard burton impersonation as blackthorne. Terrible.
Tadanobu Asano is a f*ck*ng monster. Best living actor, at least in Japan.
Fell in love with series
It was awesome! I think I need to watch it multiple times to appreciate everything.
This was great! Thank you.
Finally, a great series on TV! Excellent cast, great story!❤
I think James Clavell and Toshiro Mifune would be proud of Hiroyuki Sanada's Toranaga. He's jaw dropping.

It’s wonderful!!
Masterpiece!

I like this movie series and I was capativated by the beauty of Anna Sawai "Mariko sama".
If theres one takeaway from this series, is that u’ll never know what lies in the bottom of ones heart
I loved the moment when Anjin called out BUNTARO in the garden after he hit Mariko. Was so cool
Very impressive movie shogun a brave japanese samurai soldiers

We needed more of Yabushige screen time. He is such a great actor
Anyone else blown away that _all_ of the extras here are cgi? Brave new world. 1:20

A new era of winning 18 Emmy Awards is established.
People in the process of becoming a Japanese island nation!
Emmy nominations, please!!!
So happy they are bringing the show back, and it better have Anna Sawai in it lol!
The scene where Hiromatsu commits seppuku and his son Buntaro seconds him..🤯
With Omi and his uncle looking on emotionally
Yabushige and fuji were my fav characters ❤
Une des meilleures séries que j’ai pu voir , dans mon top cinq en numéro 1
Elle va me manquer
C’est un ravissement pour le cœur et les émotions qu’elle dégage
Un chef d’œuvre ❤❤❤❤❤

Anybody know what that green laser is for at 1:58 ?
I do not know how we are going to have a season 2 without Anna Sawai
Just watched the First season great Story and cast
The finale is next week!
As kid I have watched the Shogun of Richard Chamberlain 80s..will be in season 2 a great Battle!
@@Pain-ec2tk but there is no season 2 as of now
Tremenda serie cabros, saludos desde Chile....me encanta la historia
Looks promising. Lets hope it holds

Takehiro Hira is my man
the best film
I hope he remakes - 7 Samurai.
Did the Buntaro fight scene inside a building get cut? I keep seeing it in the BTS but I don't recall him fighting inside during the show.
I realized just now that all 3 of the main characters are prisoners in their own separate (way) realities.
1:27 Wdym "this season"? The one and only season
I love my samurai movies 😂 much love to the warriors of the north from the south pacific 💪🏾
Please share/recommend your top 5 samurai movies...
And yet, Yabushige pulling out a modern umbrella would not seem anachronistic for him.
I like every episode 🗡️
Mariko ❤!!
Anna Sawai I love you
She said this season of shogun, so maybe there will be more to come
U know is special when the female scenes is also pulse stopping moment..
Did Mariko (Anna) say “this season will focus on Blackthorne”?
Wait……
Are they writing more?
Has a second season been ordered yet?
sadly no. its only going to have 10 episodes for this season. I already saw all 10 episodes back in january and you will be satisfied by the time you see the ending. it will defnitely win multiple emmys next year im sure of it.
@@shekoken how did you watch it full?
Hulu
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Kazakhstan 🇰🇿
I now want a Japanese GITS and AKIRA live action series with the same dedication
you know that this wasn't a japanese show?
Yabushige reminds me of sandor clegane - The Hound.
I regret I couldn't give my life defending Mariko
Team Fuji here.
Cosmo best actor( Barney).😁🤗
cosmo Jarvis is outstanding but doesn't seem to get the same credit as other actors a brilliant drama in any case
Fuji more lovely i wish have wife like her❤
i like the character of mariko
Still, think that Cosmo Jarvis does not belong there...
The frames exude the brutality of war, so excited
my dad watched the og series when he was my age so it's cool to watch with my dad right now
What I'd like to know is how many of the exterior buildings and sets are practical and what is CGI.
the fact that you CAN'T tell is why this show is simply amazing! I could watch this series all day.
Shwoke..gun....😂😂😂😂😂😂😂hombres beta ...
it's fun to watch, but not a very good adaptation of Clavell's novel. Clavell wrote it from the perspective of an Englishman stranded in Japan. This series has made him out to be a secondary character, rather than the main character, for whatever reason.
Thank god he was a 2ndry character in this version. His acting is rotten. 😂
hearing the Japanese actors speak English is blowing my mind :p
season 2 plZ❤
good thing stoopid Disney execs didnt ruin this series.
Production is amazing... Probebly 10/10? but for some reason i get boring watching the series. Like i never had that with game of thrones.
Huh
😂
Mariko sama death is sad
so mariko husband is still alive
If we don't see the dead on screen, then it is always a high chance that the character is still alive.
If you read the book, then yes, Buntaro lived after the Osaka escape.
thank you for not ruining this show with stupid liberal and woke nonsense! Very authentic
