Watching Japanese speaking ACTUAL JAPANESE in the show that depicts Japan is a blessing by itself, every movies and shows should do the same! After just 2 eps and I already loved it a lot!

This intro shows the duality of this era. The beauty of Japan with it’s impressive culture and what is underneath the culture, sheer brutality.

[Deadeye]

First 2 episodes were great. Hiroyuki Sanada has been the stand out so far. He owns every scene he's in.

You know a shows good when it has an intro like this.

[michaelfilippino]

This intro reminds me a lot of the intro to Vikings. So much visual storytelling that shows you exactly what kind of world you're entering. Truly sublime.

Here I am after finishing the show, appreciating its true beauty. What a masterpiece.

The zen garden presentation of this as it gets increasingly more crowded by foreign influences and then just totally goes into bellicose disarray is amazing; not only is the show great, the intro sequence is too.

Hopeful for some great success for this series in terms of viewership and rewards, it fully deserves it.

They have such a rich history of culture

What an amazing show. I never get enough of seeing this title sequence play in each episode. Gives me goosebumps every time lol.

[alfamulia]

One of those series opening that i never skip

[danielsilverstein]

So glad it won all the awards

And this theme is just so amazing

[sankharaYT]

This show is INCREDIBLE! Thank you to everyone involved in making it!

[messiahftw]

I really want an extended 8-12 minutes version of this. Make it happen guys!

[dannysalvatore]

Without a doubt a wonderful opening... especially because it begins with a hopeful tone of peace, and then turns into darkness until reaching a terrifying tone called "War"
A great musical work, my respects.

[iSpeciaIist]

This is one of those opening themes that grows on you

[sthoma]

Iconic intro. Beautifully understated. Typically pilot episodes are slow for me and I don’t usually become invested until 2nd or 3rd episode. This was not the case for me with this show. I was totally bought in immediately.

[darthuchiha]

Shogun totally has that Game of Thrones / House of the Dragon feeling with this intro

[JZL-Arkerivon]

Wow 🤩. This show is amazing
I’ve been waiting to this kind of an authentic portrayal of pre industrial Japan 🇯🇵. Makes me want to to visit the country with my family even more

[DeFuZeRO]

Man I'm honored because I got to see this masterpiece. Every episode was so good and they kept getting better and better right until the finale. I'm left fulfilled and satisfied. Just wanted to hear this intro one more time. Best mini series I've seen in years.
