Hahaha, yes I know about the lack of material. Also, he never came up against Yagyu Jubei who was also around at the time. Two of the greatest swordsman in Japan, never actually meeting each other. Quite astonishing really.
Mmm, I actually saw that fight on Japanese TV, they have a drama about the life of Musashi and it's quite good.
No I don't believe I have seen it to tell the truth.
Yeah I watched Akira Kurosawa's classic the Seven Samurai and I loved it. It was extremely well done for a 1950's film.
Yes I particularly enjoyed Zatoichi too, it was really diverse, not jst a splatter fest, it was very well done.


And the tapdancing! I can say with the deepest sincerity that I absolutely, under no circumstances, ever, ever would have even come close to thinking of ending my violent and fairly serious samurai moving in a tapdancing sequence. Plus the crazy wanna be samurai kid was hilarious.

To stick with the topic, the copy of five rings I read also had yagyu's tactical thing, I can't remember the name of it. It was nowhere near as good though. It just didn't have the 'all the other schools are sissy's' charm. And the yagyu clan were honourless cowardly bastards. They deserve whatever they're going to get by the end of the lone cub series, destroying the ogami clan like that!

Yep, fireyz got me hooked on them xp

So Much To Tell You is about a girl who's father scarred part of her face and hasn't said a word since. She goes to Warrington school and slowly recovers. There was another book, Take My Word For It, which accompanies along with So Much To Tell You, telling the other side of the story of the girl, Lisa, who stood up for her a few times 3nodding

I was reading through the latest Drift Battle magazine i bought last week, its got a good article on AE86s, apparently to find a good one in Australia will cost around 19k... but i don't believe that... i've seen cheaper ones... and its got some real good insight on the Nissan Cefiro (A31) Its a nice car. You learn so much from reading a good car magazine... learn much more than those novels (is that what you call them nowadays) that i hear about 3nodding xd

Ah yes. I really loved the tap dancing. It was quite ingenious. Yes, the wannabe samurai kid added much needed humour xd

Haha, yeah I thionk this edition I have has the Art of War according to the Munenori clan I believe. I must read it all. I just have to get into it.
