As anyone seen the series? I never got to see it until lately. I've seen the first 5 episodes and I liked the build up in ep. 1,2,3,and, 4 but I didn't care for part 5. Why is Blackthorn a samurai if he never at least fought a battle? That question troubles me. The Japanese ship they show at the beginning and call a slaver, isn't it also called a kansen? It's the Japanese version of a small galley I think. I hope they'll show an Atakabune or a Tekkoussen because those war ships were impressive. Anyway I'll watched part 6 of 6 tonight and I hope the final is worthy of my time. Now I want a remake with more action!
Okay I just finished watching part 6. It was okay but I expected more. Now I need a sequel. Until then I might read the novel to see if it's more interesting than the mini-series.
