They just couldn't help themselves

Warning: Spoilers
Just when we thought it was safe to enjoy what looked like a cinematic masterpiece, we were deceived by another Trojan horse from the entertainment industry. This series starts off well and seems to be a faithful retelling of the source material. The characters are fantastic. The visuals are absolutely stunning. The cast is incredible. The acting is absolutely masterful. I was holding my breath the entire time thinking, this couldn't be true. Could it?

NOPE! This episode crams in as much feminist nonsense into the 50 or so minutes as possible, completely destroying the authenticity they created so well up to this point. Anyone familiar with either the source material or you know, the history of Japan / the Samurai will be incredibly disappointed to this nonsense injected for no reason whatsoever. The completely fabricate a back story for Ochiba and try to have us believe that warlord samurai in the year 1600 would bow and scrape to her. This was embarrassing to watch and completely ruins the story.
