Was watching the latest Taiga drama the other weekend, Yae's Sakura (八重の桜), and I was reminded of Abarenbo Shogun (暴れん坊将軍) because of the Tokugawa. I haven't seen any of the recent movies; will someone attempt to remake it in the near future?
I don't know at what time the original aired (or if it matters, in Japan) but the drama was PG entertainment.
At any rate, Yae's Sakura may turn out to be interesting as it covers the last days of the shogunate and the civil war that was part of the Meiji Restoration.
But it may be too feminist as well, even though it is based on a true story...
I wish I had seen some of Gō and Ryōmaden, but I didn't find out Tokyo TV had moved to the channel that also shows NHK World until last year.
