If you're into Japanese history or just the Samurai thing, there's a new, very interesting, documentary airing on PBS tommorrow:
Japan: Memoirs of a Secret Empire
Below is actually the home page for the site, lots of additional background info, much like that found on the original Shogun CD.
The Home Page
In the NYC area, it airs at 8:00 pm Channel 13.
Setup your DVR/VCRs.
There's also a second airing, check the schedule.

tomorrow being what day of the week? Wednesday? http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...ns/biggrin.gif
I'll be in Japanese writing class at 8 (for fun, I'm not in college) but will have a friend get it for me.
I've been recruiting people at my school to watch this.
I thought I saw something interesting on PBS but the fact that it was PBS made me doubt it was good. I'll check it out tomorrow, thank's for the heads up. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cg...s/bigthumb.gif
I caught about half of it.
It was okay, interesting, but anyone who's studied Japanese history, even casually like for STW, won't get much new info.
I agree, there was some neat stuff that I never knew, like the Dutch Village in Nagasaki Harbor, but overall I thought it was pretty basic.Quote:
