I am very unsure how to feel about this. Shgun is one of my favorite books ever, and the show was even better in my opinion. It didn't need more seasons, imo. There's a real possibility they could muck this one up, especially since they're working with no source material for this one. I also know that many of the actors who could return have other projects going on at the moment, so it will be awhile until we see this. --- This rant was brought to you by your local random thinker.

Really looking forward to season 2.

I tried to beat I, but couldn't get past Chaos. II was too bad to get very far into. I almost beat the DS version of III, but then I lost the system and with it, my desire to beat it. XV was just so mediocre and disappointing that I couldn't get very far into it until I called it quits. And finally, XIII and XIII-2 almost made me quit the series all-together with how bad they were.
