at long last...

...I have finished Musashi.

My eyes rejoice from the brief break from subtitles(not too long, though...my Damo DVDs came today)

There shall be a post about the final eps, likely tomorrow afternoon.

I shall now go showered and then check some DVDs to make sure they work before sleepytime

dorama: Musashi, eps 39-49

So long...so very very long.  This'll be my last Musashi post, barring requests or comparisons or anything.

After the last 10 minutes of ep 39(reunion, settle down to a peaceful life, closure) I largely view this as a sequel where Evil Politics interfere and make the poor guy get involved in the war between the Toyotomi(likely misspelled) and Tokugawa factions.  It's largely about the politics and social conditions that led to the war at this point, with Musashi playing one of the central figures as a swordsman the politicians won't let live in peace, as opposed to it actually being his story.  Still, I think these were some of the best episodes of the series.  The fact that the "Musashi and Otsu can't be together" part is done away with in ep 39 helps, as that really couldn't go on much longer without the audience just giving up on them.  And yeah, that's the hopeless shipper in me talking.

Anyway, excellent series over all, with only a few weak parts(most in the early eps, though the subtitlers got some of the time passages wrong, I think...can't blame that on the show, though) but not enough to detract from my enjoyment.
