What a silly, crazy, magnificent movie! The story is hilarious, the music, singing and dancing wonderful, and the actors are totally over the top. Everything is just one big fun. I totally enjoyed this movie. Splendid. The soundtrack is also great – it has everything: Symphonic cinemascope score, brilliant Musical songs (Takahata Mitsuki's voice!), cool Jazz tunes and even squeaky J-Pop. Gorgeous!
This is my first Taiga Dorama I've been watching right from the start, and I really, really like it. It's fun…
Well, the acting is sometimes quite a bit over the top, if I may say so, as usal in many Japanese dramas, but it's convincing and well done most of the time. The production design and the colorful costumes are quite impressive, it's the first Taiga Dorama shot in 4K. The plot is set in the late 16th century around Akechi Mitsuhide, who became the assasin of Oda Nobunaga, whose faithful ally he once was. I find this series quite thrilling, but I'm not a standard, haha.
how is this for someone who dislikes long eps and has never tried Historical jdramas before?
This is my first Taiga Dorama I've been watching right from the start, and I really, really like it. It's fun to look up all the names, places and historical occasions in Wikipedia while watching it. So I've learnt a lot about that period in Japanese history during the last months. :-)
