I love her on screen chemistry with Eita as Naogoro the lower level samurai who was her childhood friend, confidante, iGo playing mate and all around hanger on. Of course they all played really important roles in unifying Japan when they got older!!! |

| 11. | Comments by xploring [Rating: ?/10] I found Atsuhime very easy to watch, flew right through to episode 22 in just a few days. But if I had any expectation to begin with, I think I probably would have been disappointed.
The story when Atsuhime was in Satsuma was very enjoyable. But after that, I don't really understand her motivation for giving up her family and going through all that... To me, the characterisation is lacking, I couldn't really put together her care-free/inquisitive side with her determined side. Perhaps because I am not Japanese? (or well-informed on Japanese history) The story, though slow, is watchable, but I felt there wasn't a lot of substance, or meaningful revelations. Like in the beginning with the character of Zusho(?, the old councillor who fixed Satsuma's finance).
The end of episode 22 was interesting. But reading the summary for the next few episodes, and not feeling drawn to the impending crisis storyline, I am not sure whether I will continue watching.... |
