I have discovered that apparently there are several Japanese television shows on our equivalent channel 8 on Sunday nights. This is only of interest because I have become suddenly enamored with a drama about some shogunate in the Tokugawa era.
I mean, holy crap. Even if I only have a vague outline of an idea of what's going on, the costumes are at the same time awesome and hilarious. You can see the bald caps on the male actors. They scrunch up occasionally when the actors get particularly expressive, and its clearly visible, despite the 'careful' use of soft-focus.
Earlier there was some show with a quirky old gal who was cooking food for people. More recently, for some reason, there is a very obvious transvestite (Most tranvestites I've seen usually have better makeup than that. I'm just saying.) trying to get people to pronounce things (correctly) that honestly don't sound all that difficult to pronounce. I don't understand any of it, and yet I am riveted.
