NeoWanZaeed:


It won't hurt him because the son na asshole

The werey think say na Gladiator he be.

He dey find glorious death and spilling blood.

Lakesman445:


... And the fact he didn't alot any of his property to his son rather to his grand children when he was writing his will indicates that he already made up his to sacrifice his son for the crimson sky to work

He knows that Nabushige's nephew has a way to say words that spurs his son up. So it's possible he has already told that one to instigate his son to attack his brother.

And maybe with the hope that his son is successful? Idk , that Nagakado hardly succeeds in anything, cos you can't plan for him slipping and dying.

Or

1. His knows his son can't succeed, if his brother kills his son, it's an act of war been a guest of Toranaga.

2. If unseemly his son succeeds, the son will have to perform seppuku for killing a regent , and in a stranger way gain control of his brother's army.

Either way his son is toast.

ozaji:
If you like the 'Warrior' type of series, I believe you will like 'The Brothers Sun'. Lots of fighting.

Saw the trailer, but not my kind of show and I love Warrior like crazy.

Illusioneffect:
Movies I watched this week -

Nymphomaniac - 7/10 - I was curious about watching NC-17 and X rated movies that are artforms but not porn and this movies stands out above every thing else. Better than Showgirls in my opinion. It is about a nymphomaniac and her sexcapades. Apart from all the many sex scenes where we could see her sucking stuff without blurring anything. It is just like porm but with a story. Mia Goth, Uma Thurman and the Dune guy is even in this movie. Nuts!

"By the way did you know that you if combined all the foreskin cut off through history, it would reach to Mars and back again".

Why does the synopsis looks like slavery to me?

Shogun

Hmmmmm. As them won take judge this matter for this next episode?.

Parish

It's new. It's hard watching Giancarlo Esposito as a struggling family man, also a driver. Never thought I will see him sparring with a sand bag also.

It's like watching Pete Edochie struggle for daily bread in a nollywood movie. E nor fit enter.

Type casting? Maybe, but it is what it is. He isn't the kind to be involved in the crime, he is the one to send people to commit the crime.

Everything is just inverted in this show, the "Boss" is a really young guy, the protagonist old man.

If the old man is say Denzel or even Liam Neeson. I can see it.

Constellation

Giving Dark vibes. The mindfcuk not as complicated as Dark, but it's there. And this last episode WTF!!!

What was that that woke up in space?

Just saw that this episode 8 is the last episode for season 1.

While the buildup was really really slow, I became thoroughly engrossed in the last 3 episodes.

Overall rating for season 1: 7/10.

I have been downloading Tokyo Vice for the last 3 weeks, will use this Easter holiday to catch up on it.

oyaskii:
I might also add that, the Japanese language is such a reassuring and affirmative language that any monologue or dialogue in it, seems to carry a much much more deeper meaning than it's literal translation in English.

The language exudes a profound elegance and an uncanny air of positivity that i cannot explain.

It and German, might be the language i would be willing to learn if the opportunity arises.

Excuse me and every other person. Elegance and German isnt a sentence that goes together in my opinion. German that sounds like you chewing hard pebbles?

There was several videos of words in other languages and German, and German somehow makes those same words a do or die affair in pronunciation.

Language that makes sex sounds so unappealing.

It's been awhile since a show had this thread talking.

Shogun

NeoWanZaeed:


The lady ochaba had it wrong. Lord ishido was even surprised.

Same was mariko father was accused wrongly ..toranaga was accused wrongly

Hopefully next episode, they will clear up the stories, make we know who is telling the truth or who is lying.

Meel:

But I am currently unable to comprehend how the alliance between the regents and Lady ochiba come to be.

The plot of the story was that Toranga was for the heir. He stands in his support, how did the regents now instantly allied with the heir.

Something didn't add up

The lie was purported between Lady Ochiba and Ishido cos they know saying Toranaga is against the heir will make him public enemy number one.

Baddestguyp:


Or what if Lady Ochiba is actually secretly his ally...
But rather she's just helping him get justification to go to war...

Lady Ochiba is running in the shadows...
She can easily play both sides and put the blame on Ishido

Ishido is just like Yabushige, people pleaser without real power of their own. Lady Ochiba is just using words to confuse Ishido.

hyzicbond:
Yabushige the man playing both sides

Las las, them go kill this one.

NeoWanZaeed:
You guys don't understand toranaga character at all.

He's loyal to the taiko and his son.

He's gotta keep anjin close ..to unleash anjin and mariko in war. They are his most prized assets

I believed he was 100% loyal to the Taiko and his son since the first episode, plus his reply to the Taiko on his dying bed about not wanting the Shogun title which the Taiko reply something along the line that Toranaga is a wise man.

However

The revelation of Lady Ochiba that Toranaga was the one whispering into her father's ear in the killing of the Taiko plus Toranaga's confusion as to why Lady Ochiba hates him brings a lot of questions as to where his loyalty lies.

Whether to himself or to the realm.

Maxxim:

Toranaga is a master strategist, he knows how to use people and explore people's reservation and respect for em, why is Ochiba hell bent on revenging em, her story with Mariko isn't clear enough.
In a flip side is Ochiba trying to push Toranaga to war to seek revenge against ishido and other clan leaders and keep herself safe? idk but I'm sure the next episode is nothing but full blown war

He sha wants Mariko and Anjin to be together. This one he has sent the other guy packing.

Baddestguyp:


Me sef I'm confused...
Do we really trust Toranaga?

He might be playing a long game...knowing it would end up in justification for him taking over Osaka and becoming Shogun

He certainly has his way of managing his own people...
He knows what he did sending Mariko there with the Anjin


Lady Ochiba on the other hand seems hell bent on revenge so she's hard to root for...

My analysis may be wrong , based on we haven't been given the full load down on what led to the death of the Taiko.

And on what we have seen so far, Toranaga is one crafty son of a gun, so I wouldn't put it past him to have instigated the death of the Taiko.

Secondly, the clan he is from. Perhaps he is those kinda people who will do everything in their power to write their family name in the history books as Shogun.

Thirdly, after 'claiming' he doesn't want to use Crimson Sky, and another solution should be brought forward, he still sha went back to the Crimson Sky .

Also, Toranaga's surprise on the hate he is getting from Lady Ochiba stems from the fact that he might be thinking she was too young to remember what he did.

Side Note: Who was that person that was just chopping off heads like say tomorrow nor dey for the throw back? Omo

Shogun

Who do we believe ?

Lady Ochiba or Toranaga?

Crumbian:




I see what you did there

Ninja Kamui

Omo I'm disappointed oh, it went from hot blazing furnace to just steam. I don't want to watch machines fighting, when nor be Pacific Rim I dey watch.

From sweet sword to sword fighting and dark arts to mechanized fighting. Not happy about it.

Crumbian:
Currently watching SEE season 2...


Each episode gets harder to watch. This may be the stupidest series I've seen in my entire life.

Not sure I passed the first episode of the first season. I just couldnt see the point of the series.

phr0nesis:
3 Body Problem: 6/10
I really didn't see the point of this series, especially the last 2 episodes

I was so so disappointed with the final episode. It was so so below par.

bisqit:
Hijack is going on yet the idiots here is not talking about it

[sub][/sub]

jikins:


No wahala when I find my patience I will go back to it

Solo leveling too bam oh. I'm loving it. Each 'villain' is stronger than the next, and the fight scenes are premium.

jikins:


Is it any good now? Couldn't get pass ep 1.

It's a very slow burner. Looks like anything isn't make sense but as you go further (if you have the patience) it becomes real good.

Shed a tear or two at episode 6 and 7.

Achilles100:
Omo The Regime is not giving oh.

Na to disembark from this series oh.

Even Constellation, to see this last episode is a struggle. If e nor work for me, quick disembarking.

I go use Vigil S02, Rap Shít S02, Tokyo Vice S02 and Iwaju take hold body.

Constellation, I apologize. I wasn't familiar with your game.

Damn.

3 Body Problem

Somehow I feel let down. There was no cliffhanger for the end of season 1, twas just flat. While I enjoyed the show, the planning and all, something just felt off to me. I saw it throughout yesterday and ended it this morning.

Those Sophon things are crazzzy. The idea of that kind of thing existing. Omo.

If there is an accent I dislike is that Australian/New Zealand type accent, didn't really notice it on Jin until her conversation with her fiancé on the plane.

6.5/10.

Shogun

The way Japan's custom is a stickler for rules is almost crazy. Any small misbehavior everyone won do seppuku, like be calming down.

Toranaga sef get wahala, why you go allow two men stay under one roof. Yes I know he doesn't know the existing tension, but common.

I enjoy the way he is playing Yabushige.

armadeo:


Also in colony. ( abandoned this one).

I miss this show

Never thought I'll a movie with this dude as a young guy.

They Live
