I'm watching Hanzawa Naoki 2, which so far (just finished episode 5) is a worthy successor to the original. It continues to have many of the fine characteristics junny noted above.

Of all the taigas I've seen, this one, "Toshie to Matsu" and "Musashi" would be my "besto 3". By an amazing coincidence, all three had casts consisting of excellent a ...
