Slowly adding to my Yuhiden review

[tilmon]

I mostly went  to see Yuhiden for Seto, Endo, and Zukki, and I was not disappointed. Zukki is such a great character actor. That man needs more roles! I wasn't prepared for what a completely wonderful papa Endo has become. Somehow, his real life as husband and father has ramped up his gravitas on stage to something like 1000%. Also, Ikeoka really

I finally got a breather to reply xD

'That man needs more roles!' *nods furiously* I honestly haven't seen him in... anything I don't think!! o_O

'his real life as husband and father has ramped up his gravitas on stage to something like 1000%.' His maturity and everything shone through completely! Infact I was totally shocked to learn he's on 28!! He acts like he's 33/34!! o_O

'Ikeoka really shone as a villain' *nods furiously*

'Shuto has an amazing ability to convey subtle emotion facially' He defo wins the best facial award! And the amount of tears he can produce!

'hitting all the right notes in his acting all the time.' He was phenomenal as per usual <3 and we wouldn't expect any less from him

Ooh, Taiki reform. Now I have something to look up! Thanks, anonymous MP student!

Oh, seems it's Taika. I'll read up and tell all about it later.

Bell, I mentioned it a few times, the story of 'Yuhiden' is based on the Legend of Izanagi (Kairi) and Izanami (Hinata). You really should look that up.

[tilmon]

You did! But there's more to it than that. When you watch, you will see that there are several mythic elements woven in. The suggestion from MP's student that it seemingly refers to the Taika Reform makes a lot of sense.

If you had read the interview by Suemitsu Kenichi I sent you, you would have seen what´s really behind it.

Give me the link again, because I don't remember it as being particularly enlightening. Maybe I missed something.
