Shôgun: Servants of Two Masters (2024)
Great start of a soon-to-be classic
I have seen first two episodes, first one was very good with the usual character development and "introductions" but I would have said nothing really special or even worthy of writing a review.
That was, until the final scene of E01 which somehow came with such energy and a great set up for even greater things to come. With E02 they delivered in spades! The only reason I did not rate as a 10 is because I am sure this will get even better.
This series so far has everything, great scenery, fantastic costumes, good balance between action and dialog and the subtitles just adds to it all. The plotting and back-stabbing have just begun, and I felt like I haven't seen anything like this since Ran. I'm excited to see what's ahead.
This series has the potential to be the most talked about series of 2024, and the way it's going I hope they continue the story!
It takes a bit of time to get used to the subtitles as you must always pay attention but if they had all been speaking English it definitely would not be the same impact, so I hope they don't change this.
