I've watched this mini-series at least three - maybe four times - previously; when it was originally broadcast, once using Netflix DVDs and another time or two from badly done VCR copies. It's some of the best "television" I've ever seen and I was anxious that I have another shot at it. Subtitles are available for the spoken English - and some of the Japanese - but mostly we are left in the same position as the protagonist - i.e. understanding very little of the Japanese - but that's by design. I'm only part way through Disc 2 of 5 but, thus far, product quality is excellent. My biggest problem is just to not to binge my way through. I've made a decision to read James Clavell's book again - and I almost never read a book twice. If you've never seen it, I think you'll enjoy Shogun. If you have seen it - and liked it - you'll enjoy watching it again.Read full review

The shogun dvd was very entertaining but I question the rating of excellent condition. Approximately half of the first dvd discontinued playing so we didn't get the beginning of the story. Then again in the 4th dvd there were several times when the dvd stalled and sputtered so we had to wait for it to operate effectively again. We didn't mind too much since we got a good deal, but I question the rating of excellent for it. Lower the rating and it is probably a much better deal.

I have seen Shogun before and found it very entertaining and real and I wanted to see it again and it wasn't available at my local library, so we ordered it. It was in new condition and only had one small hangup in the DVD that cleared up quickly on the 4th disk.

This made for TV movie is a historic look into the Shogun of Japan from the 1600s. The characters are engaging and story never gets boring. The movie is 8 hours long but you won't regret it. I watch this movie once a year and I love it.
