The battle of sekigahara wasn’t only about logistics imo:
- Kobayakawa had large forces on a hill for half the battle couldn’t decide which side until both sides pretty much not only threatened him but started shooting arrows on his troop well into the battle - he chose the Tokugawa side
- Other defectors like Kikkawa and Akaza late decided the battle as they followed Kobayakawa
- Mitsunari was charismatic and deeply loyal to the Toyotomi side but still had a of issues recruiting lords to fight for him
- Background: Toyotomi Hideyoshi passes away in 1598, and it creates a power vacuum. Ieyasu now in his late 50s is ready to take over (after seeing unification happen first with Nobunaga, and now with Hideyoshi, there’s finally an opportunity for him) but Hideyoshi’s son and his mother are in the way. This was the literal and metaphorical battle between the incumbent and the challenger 
- So every daimyo in Japan has a choice, stick w/ the old Toyotomi, or fight for the Ieyasu, or abstain. It was a bet

Yo I think @july already watched season 2 of Shogun

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

legitimately a great show, worth watching

Yuh it def had some weeb energy 

But sometimes you gotta enjoy good Tex Mex or beef and broccoli

Anchoring the derivative against the original is guaranteed to make it taste worse / inauthentic

i feel you - it's not an issue with how great the show is, I'm sure it is, I just had some more personal reasons why I had a hard time getting into it

Mainly, I felt like I was eating Japanese food overseas (nothing wrong with Japanese food overseas, just not what I'm used to)

I just kept feeling like, hey -- I have this at home
