パペットホームズ、大河ドラマなどの好きなテレビ番組やラグビーについて書いています。アフィリエイトはやっていません。／Welcome to my blog. I write about some Japanese TV programmes including NHK puppetry and Taiga Drama, Sherlock Holmes and rugby. I don't do affiliate marketing.
This is the last entry on "Sanada maru". Though I will write about something concerning the series from now on, the one mainly about the series finishes with this. I can manage to finish it until the end of the broadcast of "Onna Joshu Naotora" somehow.
Sanada Nobushige in "Sanada Maru"
As the series is written by Koki Mitani, there are some jokes and styles that characterises his story. And the new theories about the Sanada clan are included. Like many other Taiga drama series, some scenes are based on the historical facts and the others are fictional. Main character is SANADA Nobushige (later Yukimura) but his father Masayuki acted by Masao Kusakari is a key person who is a schemer and skillfully deceives his enemy. It's true that his character attracted and still attracts the viewers. After his death in the 38th episode, the atmosphere changes and becomes rather dull despite the scene of the Siege of Osaka.

And TOKUGAWA Ieyasu acted by Seiyo Uchino is well described. Not only Ieyasu, his vassals HONDA Tadakatsu (Hiroshi Fujioka) and HONDA masanobu (Masaomi Kondo) are good also. Though Kiri (Masami Nagasawa) is noisy at first, she becomes to be reliabe as the story develops. To tell the truth, the series is not heavy and the combat scenes are not so good as is usual with the script of Mitani. But The comical descriptions and the public relation succeeded to make the series gets into the news and Ueda City became to be well known thanks to it.
