The first part — semi-historically accurate tale of war between the Taira and Minamoto clans in the 12th century Japan — was interesting; however, I liked the second a lot more. It introduced me to John Manjiro, a poor Japanese boy who likes fishing above all and on his journey manages to connect with a different culture and unpredictably ends up playing an important role in the modern Japanese-American relations. On a less positive note, both tales highlight how your own people can sometimes be worse than your “enemies”.
