Anna Sawai talks 'Shogun'

If you aren't watching Shogun, you are seriously missing out on one of the best TV series of the last decade, at the very least. Anna is absolutely captivating as Mariko and the latest episode was both shocking and heartbreaking for her character. I have full faith that the showrunners will stick the landing with the final episode next week! Can't wait!

Phenomenal actress. Love her character.

Her performance in the latest episode left me speechless, amazing job! Bravo Anna !

Mariko Sama😭

Her performance is pure perfection! Intelligent and touching.

Anna Sawais portrayal of Mariko is not only the best acting I have seen all year, it’s some of the best acting I have ever seen. Building on one of the most incredible, strong and complex characters ever put to paper, the show was able to elevate Mariko into new dimensions; The writers gave Mariko focus and stoicism, and Sawai gave her heart and raw, unbridled power. Not many people can believably play a one-man army able to topple an empire. What a lightning storm of a performance she gives in episode 9 and all throughout this series. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of an Emmy.

Amazing actress love the show she deserves a Emmy or Oscar award

This was HER episode, she owned it.

One episode left, if they stick to landing, this is one of the best shows ever made. PERIOD

Bring on that Emmy !!!

Hope she and the show win many awards. It has been best thing I have seen on tv in a long time!

Emmy for sure Also that samurai with buttersmooth double kill in episode 9, emmy for him as well. Idc which category, make one up for him. Please

Anna is so amazing in episode 9

i fell in love with Mariko when i first read the book i fell in love with Yoko Shimada when I saw the original miniseries i fell in love with Anna Sawai watching the current miniseries imagine what my heart feels right now going through THAT three times over. 😕

She did a fantastic job on the show.

That clip they showed before the interview gives me goosebumps. Amazing acting. She deserves all the credit she is getting over her incredible acting job.

Shogun is maybe my favorite tv show ever, and Anna is amazing!

I am in love with this woman. She is so beautiful it's painful. Amazing performance.

I, do solemnly declare, that I have a major crush on Anna Sawai. She has amazing gravitas and. She’s gorgeous!

Awesome show and an incredible actress. Wish this was a longer interview. They set up that cool stage and background for such a short segment. 😢
