I recommend watching Age of the Samurai on Netflix. A documentary/history which Shogun is based on

Awesome, I have been tracking down the truth about the characters, bit far from what the series is but its expected....its tv, going to watch it once Im done with the series as a bonus ✌️

After that watch Samurai X live action. It's the Meiji era (beginning of the end of samurais) following the Tokugawa/Toranaga era.

In 1981 NBC aired the mini-series Shogun, based on the novel by James Clavell. This one is also based on the same novel, but I have no idea how it was remade for today's audience. This one seems to downplay the character Anjin-San.

I haven't even started watching this one yet.
