Mito Komon on TV Japan
TV Japan is currently showing Mito Komon season 37 on Wednesday nights. I'm so excited! I can finally watch it on TV without having to rent or buy videos from the Japanese grocery store! The first episode was on last week. As expected, the first episode of each season sets the overall plot and gives them a reason to hit the road. I think there were more gratuitous sword fights and ninja antics in the first episode of this season than in entire seasons past. :) The second episode, on last night, is where things go back to the standard plot. Last night's episode was freaking hilarious. I literally laughed out loud several times. I'm so glad I have this show to watch again. I hope TV Japan will show future seasons, too.
