Lord Tsukamoto is confounded about how the hell to take down Toshirô Nakadai, who's gone and buddied up with those Viking bastards. In walks Snorfingr, like a damn force of nature, offering his services as a bravo!

Sellsword

Lord Tsukamoto is confounded about how the hell to take down Toshirô Nakadai, who’s gone and buddied up with those Viking bastards. In walks Snorfingr, like a damn force of nature, offering his services as a bravo.

VIKINGS vs SAMURAI
Live-action manga used to be a coin toss with a loaded gun. Song of the Samurai says, “Nah, let’s do this right.” Blades, blossoms, dojo brotherhood, historical pressure, and manga swagger all crashing together beautifully.

Song of the Samurai: When Manga Meets Prestige TV

Song of the Samurai proves live-action manga can be beautiful, brutal, historically rich, and still swing a sword with style.

VIKINGS vs SAMURAI

I’d like to give a shout out to #HBOMax for not telling anyone that they were showing the new #SongoftheSamurai series.

I had to find it by accident.

#BreakingNews

#HBOMax estrenará el 9 de mayo #SongOfTheSamurai, serie jidaigeki live-action basada en el manga “Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem” de Umemura Shinya (autor de Record of Ragnarok).
El manga tiene 36 volúmenes, más de 3 millones de copias vendidas y adaptaciones previas a anime y teatro. Producida por TBS, U-Next y The Seven (productora de Alice in Borderland y Yu Yu Hakusho), llega a HBO Max vía la alianza #WarnerBrosDiscovery – U-Next.
El drama se ambienta en Kioto a finales del período Edo y sigue al Shinsengumi, el cuerpo samurái que defendió al shogunato en una época de gran turbulencia política. En el centro está Hijikata Toshizo (Yamada Yuki), cuya hermandad con Kondo Isami y Okita Soji forma el corazón emocional de la serie, mientras la lealtad, traición, enfermedad y guerra amenazan al grupo ante el colapso del antiguo orden.
Completan el reparto Go Ayano y Nakajima Kento. Sakai Masaaki escribió los guiones, Watanabe Kazutaka dirige y Morii Akira, Inoue Mamoru y Shimomura Kazuya producen.
