Samurai cat. Subtitles. Not so violent. It’s about a cat and a man, not necessarily in that order, in Feudal Japan.
The elusive samurai is a good one that has a season 2 coming
Inuyasha isn’t based on Feudal Japan but it takes place there. But you probably want something more realistic.
Ya, ur not wrong tho. Seen that as a kid and thought it was wild haha. Looking for real-world altho a Crossing Swords style would be sick
I did not expect to find other Taiga dorks in here!
For the curious: Taiga dramas are very slow-paced (50-hour seasons) and on the dry side, but man are they excellent. The sets and costumes are beautiful, the characters and plots are compelling, and they’re quite educational (as far as dramas go).
Most are in feudal settings, but they aren’t constrained to one time period. There’s even one about the split loyalties of Japanese Americans in WWII. Really hard-hitting stuff.
If 50 hours of mostly people taking to each other isn’t a turn-off, I’d recommend starting with Hideyoshi. The lead from Samurai Gourmet plays one of the most pivotal figures of Japan’s unification, covering his entire adult life from peasant farmer to supreme ruler. There’s an atypical injection of contemporary salaryman comedy that makes the whole thing more approachable.
Taigas can be a pain to track down; anybody who’s interested can DM me.
Does Shogun count? Its new and quite good
Ooh thanks for tha
It’s also quite old.
I prefer the original, but to each their own.
