THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Well, good final episode, dunno what the heck it is at the beginning though. The producers only achieve around 3/4 of the story but the way they end in action was pretty sweet nonetheless.

Now, guyz, feel free to express your pent up feelings in this last thread of Genji Sennenki. Hurray xDDD !!!

Wow. They weren't even bothered to end the show. They kind of started a new chapter in the last episode for no reason. Murasaki becomes Genji's newest piece of meat with a "I guess I've always looked at you" spiel that I just don't believe. As a side note, is it really ok to marry your ward whom you've treated like a child? It's all a little Woody Allen to me, and it's far too strange for me to overlook.

Yeah, I know the feeling of being shown an uncomplete story & hafta treat it as a complete one, same with Berserk & many more other shows. But what can the Japanese do when they have way less budget than the trashy Walt Disney's movies ?
Well, not enough time for the show to dig in more of Murasaki x Genji's relationship as well as her character so I guess you felt her character as "shallow". As for the marriage with the ward business, I dont know if you ever watched Kure Nai but it got the same business, I guesss its not that uncommon in Japan when love is involved. Guess you still not get used to Japan's weird SHAT yet, my friend ;)
Anyway, thanks you for being my sole partner in this thread. Hope we cross path soon again xD

Actually, no. I don't see Murasaki as all that shallow. She was rescued by Genji, and he took care of her when no one else in her family would. On top of that we've had the narrator doing a fantastic job of creating a really fond recollection of Genji, so I totally see why she would fall in love with him...especially since she's a child. I don't however see why he would "fall in love" (if that's even what happened) with her.

I did watch Kure-nai...but since it's been a year, who exactly are you talking about? Murasaki and her brother? They were blood related, and yeah, I found that very disturbing.

Yeah, I'm never going to get used to the apparent Japanese fetishization of taking advantage of taboo relationships or exploiting positions of power (from a familial standpoint) for sex.

But we'll see each other in the other show threads.

Well he never got to actually marry Murasaki in the end...He married his another niece later.
Anyway, this series felt both too short and too long. Too short because not the whole story was told, and too long because sometimes it was really boring to watch. I guess the japanese classics (especially such specific novel) isn't the best material to make into anime.

and btw, Kurenai was inspired by the Tale of Genji. Thus the name Murasaki and other stuff.

Thanks for the info, so another watcher who only made his appearance at the end, are you like the white ranger in some Power Ranger or something?

Well I was somewhat behind the schedule with this show, so... :)

What did Genji do at the shores? Did he commit suicide?

The shores? According to the books, its where he wil spend his exile's time and meet another love interest... As for the anime, I have no idea...

There is a possiblity that there gonna make a second season. That would explain the ending better. I just finished the series and found it very refreshing , I gave it a 9 out of 10.
