Last Samurai Standing

The show is compentent enough at story telling. There is enough intrigue to make you want to know what is behind it all and what are the intentions behind some of the characters. There are also sub plots carried behind the main story so that is also a good thing. The fight choreography is really good and the action is entertaining enough. I would recommend to watch this show. It is good and entertaining, however just shy of being great. That's why I give it an 8/10.

It's painfully obvious they cut the season in half and I wish such trend would stop. Was it too much to ask for 10 episodes?

I sincerely recommend putting this series on a waiting list until it's complete. The story is too good to be butchered by netflix's schedule, the cut happens just as we were about to head into the climax. Doesn't make much sense and my day is ruined.

One point per life. During the Meiji era, 292 fighters came together at Tenryu-ji Temple in Kyoto after sunset, The challenge was clear: take each other's wooden tags and make it all the way to Tokyo. The winner would get the prize ¥100 billion.

The first five episodes offered enough bloody, ambitious set pieces and character development to keep me generally engaged, with the sixth episode (Action-packed climax) features the final showdowns of the tournament, concluding with an intense battle that takes place during fireworks.

Last Samurai Standing is a visual treat and sure to satisfy genre fans. If you're looking for seriously brutal samurai fight sequences and a tension-filled contest, "Last Samurai Standing" is a must-watch.

The scenes really bring to mind those 1970s Japanese movies - like Kurosawa's 12 Samurai - while also giving a slight nod to The Last Samurai with Tom Cruise. Yet despite these influences, it still feels like an original version of what it is meant to be. The acting is good, the framing is excellent, and the action is engaging.

Its only weaknesses are the lack of depth in some of the characters, and that the story logic is weak in a few places, sacrificed for the sake of making the plot more appealing. Considering its budget and the production team and actors, I think it is even better than Shogun, and it feels like a fully Japanese and very likable work.

First of all, I want to state that show is worth watching. Especially to those attracted to Samurais and Japan. It reminds me of Squid Games and type of show that is.

Show is fun, samurai battles really well coordinated, lots of techniques. Lots of different types of characters.

But I have one major downside, and that is loopholes, un logical scenarios and actions.

Also, I think it needed few more episodes to completely fill in some story holes, or invest more time in explaining it.
