    It does, I loved the novel. They did a miniseries in the 80s with Richard Chamberlain that was just so-so. This looks better.

    My only worry is that they are trying to redo something that was great (at least for the time). Remaking stuff that borders on a classic can often end up.....well, take a look at the Ben-Hur remake to see how bad it can get.

    I'm still intrigued, and hopeful. Just....cautiously so.

    The story was written on a Westerner's perspective of Japanese culture.

    I watched the miniseries a long time ago. It was fairly good.

    I weirdly have never seen the old one, or read the book. I wonder if I'd like this new one? Sounds like the sort of thing I'd like; might give this a look.

    I've watched both episodes twice and man this show has me hooked! It is well done.

    I never have read the book so I found it this weekend and am looking forward to it as well.

    I agree. The Percy Jackson series also seemed to require some time to get traction on these boards.
