Best comment ever "Don't panic over subtitles as well. If you completed primary school. You can read the fucken subtitles." 🔥
The thing about subtitles is that after a while you don't even realise your reading them.
@@tristanflynn4014 Try being dyslexic. The original was subtitles as well.
@@tristanflynn4014You don’t even realise you’re reading them.
You’re is short for “you are”
I though I was going to WATCH a show not Read a book.
@@eaglekeeper7737stop lying, you never read a book in your life 😂😂😂
Dutchman here. This show is based on a book, which is based on historic events. If it wasn’t for this Blackthorn/Adams character, my country wouldn’t have been able to take over from the Portuguese. And be the sole European nation to interact & trade with Japan for over 250 years. So thanks for this great series about this event!

Hey my "Torronayguh"

The correct pronunciation is Tokugawa :-P

When you see Hiroyuki Sanada starting in something legend has it you know it's going to be epic 👊
He even made the shit show that was the recent Mortal Kombat movie just a little better.
Hiroyuki Sanada was throwing at the first pitch of the Dodgers.
He's not tall, but he used to be on the action team of Shinichi Chiba.(Sonny Chiba)
Quite like the Fella.
Stared with Keanu Reeves,Hugh Jackman,Tom Cruise in some of the best Jap films recently 👍
@@PurpleandGold615 Man that was utterly anticlimactic. Don’t even have the tournament the very games are known for because the director wanted to set it up... Then the director went on a racist rant about how it couldn’t have Johnny Cage.
What’s with mediocre movies always trying to push everything interesting to a sequel that might never happen. And just jangling the keys to bait my interest? It’s what the MCU basically does now and Power Rangers did too. And I roll my eyes every time someone wants a sequel to that crap. Or anything like it.
They all forget the reason why people loved the MCU. The filmmakers early on actually shown what people wanted. And they were self contained and could be enjoyed on their own.
This is why I dropped most of these franchises. I don’t like being baited and have my time wasted.
He's literally the only Japanese actor that Hollywood ever uses. Yes, he's good, but at this point it's obvious there's a lack of male Japanese actors that Hollywood takes seriously.
damages his airbnb..🤣
Not every story needs multiple seasons. Start, Middle and an End.
I’d rather have just the one if that’s what best serves the story. Quality over quantity. Always!
It becomes super obvious when shows drag themselves out.
It's a long arsed book. 40 hours+ on audible. So to reduce it to 10 hours of screen time is a bit weird.
@@edmann1820not when you concider the production needed to make the show.. I thought it would be 2 seasons at least until I realised they have been working on this one series since 2020.. The costumes, the sets, the cast, the effects, the animals.. There's nothing easy about making that show.. So condensing it into 1 story Is the best way to go for a TV production
@@edmann1820 Just because it takes someone 40+ hours to read it, doesn't mean there is that much content to make a show the same length. Some authors like to spend pages and pages with lavish descriptions of things that takes ages to read and when its in a visual medium takes 5 seconds to show you everything relevant and we almost always lose any internal monologue for characters too, so it cuts down the run time and plus the original mini series was about the same length
@@MrCakerape Exactly, I think the negotiation with Mariko and the brothel lady was like 6 pages in the book but was only like a 5 minute scene in the show.
I was stationed in Japan in the 70s when Clavell's novel came out, and really got into the real vs. not-real aspects. The book is fiction of course, but based on real history. There is a statue of "Blackthorn" in Yokosuka, who was a real guy. I even went down to Osaka castle where the "NIghtingale" floors still work as a security device, as mentioned in the novel. I was also an "Anjin" being a navy pilot there on the Midway aircraft carrier. I'm really enjoying this latest series, and Ozzy's review is hilarious! Keep it up mate! Thanks, Burkee
Bro how old are you
I'm thrilled that you've hopped on the Shogun bandwagon, you bloody beautiful bloke!
Hooray another remake, ain't modern culture great.
@@scottneil1187 Remakes have been happening throughout the existence of films and TV shows, it's not a modern contrivance. And the mini-series aired more than 40 years ago so enough time has passed to warrant a remake.
Some of the insults that are thrown in this show are legendary.
The season isn't over yet and still I needed this recap.
Is it worth it? I've hearing a lot about this series but haven't had the courage to start it.
@@motttta I like it. They are definitely not rushing it but doesn't feel slow either. Acting is convincing, always important. Sometimes hard to remember who is who though, might be a me thing.
@@Ascathon Nice. Thanks for the feedback. Yea like Game of Thrones was a bit hard to follow too haha. Had to research it constantly to remember some of the plots. But I loved it (except that last 2 seasons who we better not even mention or my blood pressure will rise)
@@motttta If you're into this style of show then definitely watch it. It's genuinely really interesting. Has a lot of real Japanese history in it. Some things have been embellished and changed and of course names have been changed as well (Tokagawa Ieyasu to Toranaga and such) so names are quite hard to remember but the main cast is easy enough to remember, especially with the subtitles on since Japan uses name a lot instead of just saying "sir" or "ma'am" or "My Lord/Lady" and stuff!
A lot does happen in each episode though, many moving parts but it's super well shot and the acting is genuinely very good. Everyone is believable in their roles and the conversations are always engaging because you genuinely don't know how it's going to turn out in the end. They've already thrown a few curve balls at you from episode 1 (no spoilers of course) so I say if you like shows that don't treat you like dumb idiot moron and like the drama and action and political intrigue, it's a definite recommendation from me, a random on the internet!
Ozzy man, that was the best recap ever, you make it crystal clear! blimey mate this could be your new profession! "movie recap specialist "
im happy you addressed that whats different about this series is thats its intented for people with brains , unlike every other shit that they produce these days
Yes. I was concerned early on that John or Mariko were going to be modern mouthpieces, but that’s just because I’ve been made apprehensive and sceptical by constant woke pandering here in 2024.
It’s so refreshing and hopeful that the DEI touch of death didn’t rear it’s ugly head here even once 😃. It’s almost as though whoever produced this respects the audience instead of having contempt for us.
@@CursedWheelieBinyour fooling yourself, or you’ve finally gone soft.
Modern mouthpieces get in the way with all their 'truths.' Who needs to grow up at a time like this? (sigh)
@CursedWheelieBin
@@nelsaf365The creators of modern media that's who. Sick to death of the bloody 'message'. It's become a substitute for good writing and literally nobody cares or wants it.
@@scottneil1187 And you are the expert? You have the key to great production and writing? You know who and what should be covered in a society that is living today? The media boogeyman trope is stale.
Take all the time you need! Take all the resources you need! But please give us more Shogun reviews. I'm a book 'wanker' and the show is really doing justice to it. Slowly but steadily. PLEASE MAKE MORE!!!
Is the show unfolding at the pace that finishes the book by the end of the first season?
I’m on episode 6 and don’t know how many more there’ll be 🤷🏻♂️.
I’m all for quality over quantity though 😃
@@CursedWheelieBinyes unfortunately the 10 episodes of series 1 will complete the book. (Believe me you ain't seen nothing yet, I've read the book so know the last few episodes will be epic) Unlikely to be a series 2 as Mr Clavell is no longer with us to write a follow up and I doubt they will write a series from scratch. Several of Clavell's other novels are ripe for TV adaptation though, just not set in 16th century Japan.
@@Stouffer13Already double the episodes of the original.
@@scottneil1187yes but the 1980s version (which unfortunately I'm old enough to have watched in 1980) was 2 hours per episode with the first being 3 hours, so 11 hours total. So far the 2024 version is approximately an hour per episode with the first one and I'm guessing the last few maybe being slightly longer. Give or take it looks like they will both be roughly 11 hours long and both seem to follow the original source material pretty closely.
Reading the book now and it's fantastic! Highly recommend. When I'm finished, I'll watch the show. I saw the original series as a kid but was too young to really understand it.
I loved how 'Jono's' mouth movements when you said "easy peasy lemon squeezy" matched almost flawlessly 😂😂😂
The sheila that told Toranaga "why don't you become Shogun" looks like that tough old duck Olenna Tyrell and Jonno looks like Rick Grimes
"They get shitmixed by Mother Nature" is going directly into my list of favorite sayings.
I want to see Netflix's version of this! I bet they would change all the characters 😂
The main character would be the black female Jarl from Vikings.
@@PROVOCATEURSK on a wheelchair, but still manages to kick everyone's a$$ 😂
Not like Disney would
@@born2fightt Disney owns this version of Shogun. They own FX.
Well, surprisingly, Netflix did a bloody good job with 3 Body Problem.
I didn't know they'd made yet another series out of Shogun. Good stuff!
It is a good book though. I would recommend being a book wanker for James Clavell, especially if you love huge books you can really lose yourself in.
It's an absolutely great book!
Ozzy Man eats sushi with a fork !
Ozzy Man eats corn the long way !
Ozzy Man eats sushi deep fried and covered in tomato sauce
Tastes the same with a fork.
Nah - a spork.
I eat it with a toothpick
Ozzyman, can you interview Russel Coight? Or maybe spend the day in the bush with him? That would be spectacular
Disappointed no review on the fancy pants samurai mullet
I love limited series over long series. You get a complete story in a month or two. It’s the worst finding a show and then waiting 5-10 years for an ending
Oh wow you're commentary is a serious contrast to the tone and themes of the show. That was hard to adjust. I think modern Austrailian culture is the complete opposite to 17th Century Japan
Loved the show! Waiting for ep 7!
Ohhh! Is that what they were saying? 😂
Your commentary is amazing sir ...
I would pay for OzzyMan reviews of every episode. This was not only funny as fuck but actually a helpful re-cap. Understand not wanting to do more though. Thanks for this one dude.
Great work man, I enjoyed this vid immensely
"Fuck me dead, I should never have left my cozy fiefdom!" Peak Clavell.
haven't seen one of these type of tv show reviews in ages from oz man. This show definitely deserves it, excellence every second. Bonza content as always mate.
Cosmo Jarvis was being spiritually possessed by Richard Burton for this production.
It's supposedly as accurate in detail as it's possible to get these days. Even down to the way different ranks sit slightly differently. The biggest error appears the type of pistols John has being a century too early, which seems a big oversight, but then if the Metatron history channel on RUclips didn't tell me I wouldn't have noticed. He's a bugger for historical detail in TV, games and movies and actually teaches Japanese and their history. And aside from the pistol thing, he's raving about how good the historical detail is in this show.
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with the occasional inaccuracy, where all human after all. Its just a shame that many cases nowadays aren't the occasional detail, but a blatant bastardization of history, while claiming otherwise.
I'd love to see a version of Shogun that's exactly the same, but it's Ozzy Man shipwrecked instead of Blackthorn. "Mate, ya reckon yer tough with that katana? I've wrestled Drop Bears tougher than you, mate."
Fair dinkum brilliant show.
Now I wanna watch the show 😌😎
"Torranaeger..." That's it... I'm never saying it another way again. Perfection. 10/10 👍👍
who pillowed with Johnno? looks like it was Mariko, but Mariko and Fuji told the bloke it was neither of them. or was it really Mariko and was just messing around when she said she comissioned someone else to do it?
It was Mariko
This makes more sense now, why there was tension between Buntaro
It was mariko,they both knew it,she was making a point as to say don't tell anyone
Fuji knew about it also,she would of known her going In to he's room,after all she is the consort
@@born2fighttWould have*, or, would've*, not would of.
I'm glad I'm not the only one having to re-watch episodes. This is such a good show. I'm old enough to vaguely remember the 70's version. It truly is refreshing to see an honest portrayal of human behavior in this day and age.
"A close up of a sensational pair of thongs", superb. Always remember the Mr Burns/Simpsons line on the Japanese, "those sandle wairing, goldfish tenders". Fantastic show, so many scenes similar to the PC game Nioh/Nioh 2.
I had missed Ozzy Man's reviews on series episodes. Please do make reviews of the other episodes....pretty please...I will buy you a beer haha
That groan over contemplating the edit 😂😘👌
I CANNOT get over how good this show was. Literally had to ask people if I was exaggerating 😅 My God, the first episode alone might be the best opening episode to a series ever
Portuguese here. I must say we love to piss from the highest cliffs of other people's countries. I did it. Except Fuji, Kilimanjaro, Everest, etc. Just the ones easy to climb.
Read the book - epic.
I would further argue, read the books! Epics unto themselves.
Funny how i just started watching shogun today and I gotta say it's pretty entertaining even though i had low hopes for it
Remember the first time you watched Game of Thrones? It’s not love at first sight. It takes a while for it to click but it’s more rewarding and meaningful when it does.
The TikTok generation wouldn’t understand that, and yes that makes me sound super old 😂
Thanks Ozzyman will defo give this a watch. 😅
I watched the original Shogun with Richard Chamberland in 1980 ... fuck I feel old!
Will you do Three Body Problem?😅
I think that one would make his head explode lol.
Show is so good. I wish I could binge the whole thing instead of waiting for an episode every week. Couldn't wait to get into it, though.
Ozzy man, you rock! Love reading subtitles, but I'm slow😂. Peace 🤘 💥 ✌️
much awaited review
This has been my favorite series in years. "isn't it nice to have a show treat you like an adult?" a-men. It's so damn muhc fun and it's a breath of fresh air to get out of the typical BS we see these days.
Fuck yes! It's good to see another TV show good enough to get a proper 'Ozzy Man Reviews' treatment.
Have my babies ozzy man!!!
I’m loving this show. My only gripe is that whenever they are speaking Japanese they speak in Japanese, whenever they are speaking English they speak in English, but whenever they are speaking Portuguese they speak in English (?!) I guess they wanted the viewers to use their brain… but not overheat it.
Thought that was weird too, especially because they go from speaking English right into Portuguese in one scene. There's no break or editing to convey that even though what you're hearing is English what they're speaking is Portuguese. The only indication is that he's first speaking to his crew, who speak English, and then to a Portuguese guy, who speaks Portuguese, so because we're not stupid we can work it out, but it's handled clumsily.
The lead playing Blackthorne sounds like Richard Burton. Once you hear it, you can't unhear it. This series is very good and I was hooked from the very first episode. I stopped watching so I could wait for the remaining episodes to come out then I plan to watch it over a day.
Kanichiwa Ozzyson
It's funny when they greet each other in this they don't say konichewa,they use another greeting
You should watch ANDOOOOOR!
Yes, yes, yes, yes
I saw the original tv show when i was a kid and then read the book. When I was older, i re-read the book and rewatched the old tv show. This remake is like a kid's dream come through in 4k and new actors that play their roles splendidly. 10/10. The worst part of the story is watching Mariko die. Deep inside you're hoping she and John will live happily ever after but it's never meant to be. That's not the story. Anyways, thank you for the review!
Oh hell yea
This is the recap I've been looking for
Wait, wait, what happened to the part where the Ninja Turtles time travel onto the scene and just cause utter chaos
Mate, you should be doin' more of these reviews. That was fire!
2:42 Cheeky decapitation; Classic run of the mill travel stories
A cheeky decapitation is always a valid part of the plot. Yep. 😂
Yeah yeah yeah nah nah nah - worth a flick!
I read the book “Shogun” probably 30-40 years ago. Great book!
Hell yes bw this and The Gentlemen I’ve had some damn good tv to watch lately
Been a refreshing surprise, and welcome one for sure
Torrineighgah absolute legend
Best review ever!
Being an old fart living in the US I remember the miniseries on TV back in the late 70s or early 80s. That one was really good, but this one is epic.
Keep up the reviews on this one… !! It’s a great show/book..
…and you review it oh so well 😂
Ozzy Man at his best - reviewing epic TV shows - thanks mate
Wow I've missed this format! keep it up ya legendary bloke ozzyman!
Awesome review!
Now we need a review of The Gentlemen.
i worked on that show
2022 in British Columbia
japanese air bnb. wow.
Jono Blackthorn an English *WHAT* Pirate?
this series is masterpiece, one of its kind. already watched 5 episodes. onto 6th and 7th... :-)
Thanks for watching it, so I don't have to. I believe you covered it all.
Watch it
It is really good
Almost six mil… you’re a machine. One wishes Aussie Man review HotD.
Yeah, you had best be going back and doing the whole run. This is good content!
The GoT reviews are how I found Ozzy. I'd love to get the Shotgun reboot.
Ohhhh yeah! Fk yes!
Spot on, Ya legend! You earned a mid strength beer for the review, maybe even a bowl full of sake. Lots of people enjoying the destination Futile Japan edition. Cheers! Please do more like this
The book is highly readable. I recommend it only be careful, you'll want to read Clavell's other novels about China after you finish "Shogun." The miniseries seems to be following the book, though there are some things in it that I don't remember from the novel. I'm not going to give away the ending, but if it continues to follow the book closely it will stay interesting right to the closing credits.
I remember when this was aired on broadcast TV in the 80s w/Richard Chamberlain
I finished this show about a week ago. It was absolutely fantastic! Every episode was amazing. I hope they get a lot of awards for it. 👏 👏
The subtle differences between the subtitles and the character's translations to and from the Gaijin is next level.
I built the larger of the small boats in this show, and did the rigging on the ships :)
Ozzy man I’ve been a fan of yours forever and I love when you do reviews. Honestly it’s what I started watching your channel for please continue to do the episode by episode reviews like you did with game of thrones
“Damages Japanese Airbnb”😂😂😂
Well done, a fast, concise recap of the first episode with thoughtful commentary, thanks!
I remember watching the Original TV special mini series SHOGUN on the BBC back in the late 70s early 80s
and being enthralled by the costumes, the Honor, and the Sword play, I loved that series, and am Dying to see this new version
I would love to see you do each episode! So much fun to see you have a John-O again.😄
Wow, this really takes me back! Classic Oz!
Fucking series ended as it was just getting started.
Never thought it would be possible, but worst ending than Lost, Heroes and GOT.
How many times do I have to rewatch the video for Ozzyman to become convinced to review more episodes/story arcs? I love this!!
To this day I can't get used to Aussies calling flip plops an article of female underwear 😂
Me growing up in Southern California back in the 60s and 70s. Beach footwear was: zoris, then thongs, then flip flops over the years.
Long and short. It is very good. Like you said it is awesome to get programming made for Adults.
Still haven’t got round to watching this. I’ve tried a couple of times, just couldn’t get in to it though
