Zatoichi

[Drunk Monk]

S1e3 was tight - like a full Zatoichi film squeezed into under an hour. It had all the key elements of the franchise - stumbling into yakuza oppression, a fierce complex rival demanding a revenge duel, a beautiful yet tragic girl, a vow that must be honored, a heroic mom with a weak son, callus ronin with little skill, slurping bowls of tea and rice, profound elements of melancholy, regret, loneliness and sadness, strange redemptions, and so much more. And most of all, some furious blind swordsman action.

This ep I highly recommend. Katsu is so good at what he does with the character - and the way he wiggles his ears and rolls up his eyeballs is quite amazing. Luvin this show.
