The World of Shōgun: History & Backstory | Shōgun | FX

Get ready to journey back in time to Feudal Japan.

I am Japanese. It's a strange feeling to see the history we learn in elementary school turned into such cool visuals. .

Wow, what a great idea for a show like this, giving a little backdrop and openly separating the facts from the fiction. I wish more historical media would care enough to do this.

Bravo to the creative team behind this promo. This wasn't just trailer footage cut together with some B-roll and interviews, it's really impressive how much bespoke content was created for this. Seriously, this is how it's done and I hope other studios and networks take note. I hope the show doesn't disappoint.

Saw the Last Samurai as a 15 year old boy and afterwards I read Shogun after my mom recommended it. Fell in love with historic Japan, vowed to one day stay in Japan for a prolonged time. When I was 27 I moved to Japan and I've been living here for 7 years now. The days of old are definitely gone, but there are places around that make me fall in love with Japan all over again.

The "Sengoku Period" (the era of civil wars) that Japanese learn about in school classes was the period before Toyotomi Hideyoshi, aka "Taikoh" in this video, once ruled Japan. And this "Sengoku Period" was filled with countless treacheries, plots, numerous warlords and fierce battles. Thinking back on how I felt when I was taking the class, it was as if I were watching "Game of Thrones" right now. When I was watching "Game of Thrones," I thought it would be great if there was a show that portrayed Sengoku Period in Japan with this quality, but I never thought it would actually become a reality!

アニメ以外で日本に興味持ってくれる人が増えてめちゃくちゃ嬉しい

Just finished the book for the second time through. So happy this was being remade in the modern film era. What a cast

The budget for this video alone must’ve been crazy

I've waited so long for a series in Feudal Japan, This looks amazing

The art direction and vision for this series looks absolutely insane

3:01 for anyone who do familiar with history of Japan, but not familiar with the novel. Here i will say the counterpart of each 5 regents (which happen both in novel and realtime) 3:11 Yoshii Toranaga --> Tokugawa Ieyasu 3:15 Sugiyama Josui --> Maeda Toshiie 3:19 Ono Harunobu --> Otani Yoshitsugu 3:23 Kiyama "Ukon" Sadanaga --> Konishi Yukinaga 3:27 Ishido Kazunari --> Ishida Mitsunari Hope it help to enjoy the novel

If none of the previous trailers got you exited for the opening episode, this one will.

The introduction is a true history lesson on how the country was governed during the time of feudal Japan... sensational

This series looks phenomenal, The casting and production looks next level

Triple A quality production for just a backstory trailer. This absolutely shows their passion for this project, cant wait!

Whoever made this artwork is absolutely amazing

真田氏が演じる虎長のモデル、徳川家康が主人公なのが嬉しいですね。 織田、豊臣の後に待っていただけ等と言われるけど決してそうではない。苦難を乗り越え知識を蓄え時流を見極めたから将軍になった。戦は終わり260年の長きに渡る平穏な時代をもたらした。偉大な人物です。
