Your use of drawings and maps from old sources is first-rate, your narrative expertly done. To anyone who wants to read Heike Monogatari (in any of its translations, or in the original), I strongly recommend watching this video a number of times.
-
As a Japanese and a history fan, this video was the most impressive thing I have EVER watched on youtube. I never expected a youtube video explaining japanese history this deep and effective. not only the knowledge but use of sources and capacity of summurising and retelling. Just amazing.
Thank you very much I really enjoyed and appreciate it. -
Please, please, please keep making these videos! I was worried you stopped. I'd pay to watch these.
-
There are a few tiny technical blips in the video, but after three days of overtaxing my tiny laptop with exports and re-exports, I decided this is as close to perfect as we're gonna get. Hope you guys enjoy the video, and thanks for watching!
-
Once again, thank you for putting all of this effort into these videos. They really draw you into the past, with the way you follow these individual people, the different legends and bits about how the general population felt about what was happening. I had a great time following this story along.
-
I've never read such a detailed and interesting documentary about the Genpei war before. Thank You for your great job.👍👍👍
-
This miiiight be the most underrated history channel on YouTube. Your stuff is great. Very high-quality writing, cozy narration, and excellent image selection. Very well done. You quickly became my "put on one I've seen before, as i fall asleep or do something" channel, if you know what i mean. Keep this up, and you'll be a youtube staple of this particular niche in no time.
-
Impressive, impressive! Your ability to make sense of this massive, complex story is quite amazing!
-
If I had but a quarter of this man’s narrative skill, I could write a comment worthy of this stunning work.
But I don’t.
So I can’t.
All I can do is applaud and say “Bravo!” -
Simply one of the best videos on YouTube. Incredibly dense in information - you will almost certainly have to rewind at points - and with incredible visuals, this is 100% worth 90 minutes of your time.
-
Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
I've been looking for a documentary about the Genpei War for so long, everything from soundtracks to maps and photos and voice narrator is on point 1h30min past so fast :D -
'It was as if to say, "Well, guess you won't be needing THIS anymore." '
I love the way you describe historical events in such a funny, relatable way. Wish you'd of been my history teacher. -
Great video! It is quite topical how the current year's taiga drama 'The 13 Lords of the Shogun' resolves around the life of Yoritomo. The portrayal of the events of the Genpei War is done particularly well. It's definitely worth checking out for those who want to immerse themselves in that time period.
-
Fantastic! Thank you so much for putting this together and sharing it here.
-
I do appreciate the time and tremendous efforts you poured into for making this video available as usual. Apart from the academic history, I like the Genpei war and poor Yoshitsune's story as a sort of novel, so I enjoyed this video very much, recalling what I read repeatedly during my childhood. Thanks again.
-
Amazing! This is an almost obligatory complementary material for the comprehension of the main series. You´ve done a great job.
-
One of the best youtube videos I've ever had the pleasure of sitting through. Thank you so much for these.
-
this channel is so well done. amazing videos, friend, thank you!
-
This channel is truly a gift
-
Thank you for creating this video. I remember doing some reading on the Genpei War a few years ago. This is a refreshing watch to jolt back whatever nuggets i may have on said topic
