Interesting. So I can expect the next episode of Kagemusha to be out in around 2 weeks? This is the episode I am looking foward to most, because

I wanted to respond to your response about atmosphere because I once again studied the differences on why that prologue episode had a darker feel to it in the original, despite being not as good. Sure the music helps, even if you didn't seem to like the music you used for the original. When you add the music you used for the remake and that somewhat silly voice pitch for the character that was assassinated last, sure, it doesn't seem as dark. But it is also about the atmosphere. The prologue for Shinobi Noir was very dark with a dreary looking setting. The remake Kagemusha prologue had a scene that was overall pretty brightly lit on a clear night with a bright moon. So were the characters. There were occasions in the new one where certain angles were shown to overall be darker. But then you would still see a brightly lit hill in the back or something. The background in the original was very darkly colored.

Shading and/or lighting alone can make a huge difference. Anyway, that's what I wanted to say. If you haven't already done it with this in mind, I suggest you go back and rewatch the original prologue before you rewatch your recent prolouge for Kagemusha just to see the differences in atmosphere. I guarantee you could even watch them both on mute and the original prologue would still seem like it had a much darker atmosphere.
