What a nice drama! Does anyone know where I can find the Japanese subtitles for this or a transcript of the dialogues? I'm a Japanese learner and would like to improve my listening skills with this drama, but certainly do understand only a small part of it.

Thanks a lot!

So am I. Weirdest acting I have ever seen, but the story is quite thrilling.

Nicely done. A must-watch for everyone who has been to Japan before and had the pleasure of taking a ride with a Shinkansen & eating a delicious Ekiben. Natsukashii.^_^

Gnaa, this season is even worse than season 1, but it it's like an accident: I can't take my eyes off it.

A drama about a Japanese railway otaku, that sounds good. A must-watch for me.

The shaky camera made me stop this movie after five minutes. That's not stylish, that's rubbish.

Haha, you mean like watching a Korean or Chinese drama with 40+ episodes? ;-) Ok, I'll try.

Wait, what? Theres's a season 2? You mean, the story isn't told at the end of this season, there's no solution? Ok, then I'm out. Why do they have to adopt all that's wrong with American shows and release season after season, the story probably getting worse and worse? If the story cannot be told within one season then the show isn't for me. Sorry. It started so well...

Sorry, not my cup of tea. Don't fall for it, it's not that deep as it pretends to be.

Ha! Ep. 2: Kaji Meiko appears! It's great to see that Lady Snowblood is still in good shape!

It is actually 10 episodes (as on Netflix). Ep. 9 and 10 were broadcast on TBS one after the other on Dec 12th to keep the schedule since a few weeks ago one episode had to be canceled and could not be broadcast as planned because of General Elections in Japan on Oct 31st.

I think this is the result of centuries of Kabuki and Noh theatre. Japanese actors simply can't help it. ;-)

After just one episode, I have no idea where this will lead to, but I'm hooked from the start. The story is exciting (Kyoto! Museums! The fine arts! And strange people all around!), the actors are convincing, and camera and music are exceptionally good for a Japanese TV series. I'm curious to see how that develops ...

Perhaps this is the chance to finally update Takahata Mitsuki's profile picture. My last attempt was rejected. ;-)

Wow! A movie only the Japanese can make. It's like "Humbert and Dolores in the Realm of the Senses", directed by Ozu Yasujirō.

I am definitely too old for this. And I'm not sad about it.

I just watched ep. 1 and enjoyed it very much. I want to continue with this series because I like this kind of quiet and slow-paced slice-of-life drama a lot. And you are right, Atsushi: This may not be for everyone, but that's okay. "De gustibus non est disputandum" as they say. ;-)

Now I‘m deaf.

Can't wait to watch this! I'm a big fan of Kamishiraishi Mone. She's lovely! ♥
