Decent Samurai story .. could've been better.
I enjoyed watching Last Samurai, It had everything you could ask for if you're into Samurai stories. It wasn't impressive but good overall.
I like Samurai stories and historic-action series/movies like "Kingdom" or "Murky stream" being on top of that list and this show didn't disappoint.
I give it a 7 you maybe reading this and wondering because it was too short, 6 episodes -sorry to say-, just doesn't seem right, it left the story incomplete despite another season coming. Lot of important character left undiscovered and why they're doing what they're doing, why are they turning on Samurai? Six episodes barely gave us enough time to discover the story and thus, the pacing felt out of the place. A 10 or 12 episodes would've been better.
Another reason is that guy who calls himself "Strategist" or something, he's just a bad actor or to be more specific, he doesn't fit that role. His accent sounds weird and even for us viewers, you can feel like he's not living the character but rather just acting; I don't about you but that's how i felt. Even that young actress Fubaka, it seems like this is her first acting role but whatever.
Overall, looking forward to season 2.
