Ōoku: The Inner Chambers (ONA) Source: Manga (completed @ 19 volumes by Fumi Yoshinaga) Demographic: Josei Animation Studio: Studio Deen Genres: drama, fantasy, romance Themes: alternate history, Edo period, historical, politics, samurai Plot Summary: In an alternative timeline of feudal Japan, a strange disease that only affects men has caused a massive reduction of male population, thus women have to pick up men's jobs, changing the social structure. Now, after 80 years of the initial outbreak and current man:woman ratio of 1:4, Japan has become completely matriarchal, with women holding important political positions and men being their consort. Only the most powerful woman -- head of Tokugawa shogunate -- can keep a harem of handsome yet unproductive men, known as "Ohoku." Air Date & Platform: June 29, 2023 (Thursday) Available on: Netflix Episode Count / Runtime: 10 episodes ---------------------------------- Studio Deen can be hit or miss for me. But I feel they do pretty well for historical pieces. Might come back to this, later, once I catch up on other things. Last edited by Tony K. on Thu Apr 11, 2024 12:13 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Episode 1 & 2
Man, I really like this one so far. Really superb story-telling. Sadly, the visuals are nothing to write home about, but they get the job done, I guess. As a viewer, I like the Netflix binge model but it does rather play havoc with a discussion thread like this given that all the episodes are now available. Anyway, I'm not providing much detail because I think its best to experience the story-telling without knowing too much in advance. For those who decide to plunge in, enjoy! |
