Title Inside Mari Spoiler
Mari had dissociative identity disorder. The twist is that there was no soul swapping at all.She had various personalities.…
The manga had quite a cult following as a gender bender deconstruction back in the day, so if you liked drama, why not?

Why? The old version was essentially a Western series with Japanese actors. Here is a joint project of Western…
This is subjective, but I have to admit that Chamberlain, being gay, could play a man in love with a woman much better than many straight actors. I still adore his role in King Solomn's Mines.

I apologize for any possible misunderstanding, I just first became acquainted with this work as a manga and then interpreting it as yuri was really a serious business. If you know what I mean. I myself like to interpret interesting things, so I think any meaningful interpretation is good as long as people remain conscious. I don't remember the author giving any clarification, but I remember that they called the manga "a really very female story this time" or something like that.

Title Worlds Apart
Yes, the best friend of the teenager, and she is in a healthy and happy relationship.
I see, thanks for the insight. I love it when representation is written as a very ordinary part of life, and not a fanservice or cliché element.

I agree with the first part. Although it was overly theatrical, even as a child I could really feel like a confused foreigner in another country. As for the second, this is not a matter of life and death for me, if the moderators agree, I don’t see a problem.

Title Shogun
Same? I doubt it, the Japanese had much less control in the old show and essentially only agreed for the remake…
You don't have to have a Japanese crew to control the creation process, you know. Producers and consultants still exist.

Formally yes. But both shows are radically different in the degree of Japanese involvement in the creation process. Also, if I remember correctly, the new version filmed some scenes in Canada for some reason.

That is, they managed to create a reasonable representation in the work without turning it into BL or yuri?

Title Shogun
have you watched the 1980's miniseries ? i don't know if it's because i grew up with the old version and triggers…
Perhaps due to the higher quality and epic production, as well as the vibes of the samurai aesthetics from Hollywood films. But I haven’t watched a Japanese movie for a long time, so my associations simply might not have aged well.

Title Kubi
Not the historical epic that it could and should have been. Left me feeling disappointed and not satisfied.
It was never meant to be a historical epic, it's more of a psychological story. Somewhat ironically, judging by the selections, most people in general did not quite understand the intentions of the author of the novel or Takeshi Kitano. For example, many people just took it as a BL love story apparently.

Title Shogun
should have scrapped the romance. the rest was perfect
Romance between a European man and a Japanese woman was one of the main themes of the original book and the adaptations.

Title Shogun
If this version is on mdl, the 1980 miniseries should also be on here. Both series have just as much Japanese…
Same? I doubt it, the Japanese had much less control in the old show and essentially only agreed for the remake if they had full control this time.

Title Shogun
It was already drying the last two episodes. I don't see a reason to watch any more.
I don't see a problem if they have more material for a sequel. Obviously they will use the hype and financial gain after the success of the series, but complaining about being milked every time a successful series gets a sequel just makes me think of how some people don't appreciate what they have.

The old series was more emotional and somehow aesthetic, while this one feels more naturalistic and at the same time more Hollywood.

The idea that she is a lesbian is popular, but only a theory. Which, for one reason or another, ignores the possibility that she felt "attracted" to her when she believed herself to be a man in a female body. No problem if you see it as an expression of lesbian desire, but promoting it as an objective lesbian film would be misleading.

Title Kubi
The film and series are technically not related in any way other than the historical period and historical figures involved, but personally, I was very comfortable watching this film along with Shogun. They complement each other well as high-quality expensive productions of Sengoku Jidai with a good balance of naturalism and artistic directing.

Title Monster
Can you please recommend me his top works you love. Movies only please
It's been too long since I last watched his films to give any advice. But you can try "Our Little Sister" and "Nobody Knows"

Title Worlds Apart
Trust me, it's one of the best manga you'll ever read. My top 3 of all time.
Well, this is a show about female leads for a female audience over 18, I'm obviously more than confident that it will primarily focus on the female experience.
