That's ok though, because the Otoko Matsuri is all about cooking Masamune is gradually bonding with Yukimura by learning to cook Shingen's trademark houtou. Nouhime doesn't have much screen time either, and it's mostly spent glowering at people, pouring sake for her husband and angrily firing her pistols. Shiina does a good job portraying Ranmaru's precocious attitude - it's a crime that he only appears in a few episodes. Shiina is much older than Ranmaru appears in the games, obviously, but to use a young actor would have problems of its own (not least of which would be the issue of him eventually growing up if the series was a hit). The cast is quite small since only a handful of factions from the games were included: Hayashi Kento (Date Masamune) Takeda Kouhei (Sanada Yukimura) Tokuyama Hidenori (Katakura Kojuurou) Izawa Yuuki (Sarutobi Sasuke) Iwanagi Hiroaki (Takeda Shingen) GACKT (Oda Nobunaga) Shiina Taizou (Mori Ranmaru) Nagasawa Nao (Nouhime) Higuchi Yuki (Akechi Mitsuhide) Arisue Mayuko (Uesugi Kenshin) Ochiai Kyouko (Kasuga) Hakuzen Satoshi (Narrator) Shiina Taizou and Nagasawa Nao both reprise their roles from the early Butai Sengoku Basara stage plays, which pleased me since both of them suit their characters.
