Why This Matters

If you’re like me, it’ll be something on Netflix you can make your way through in a weekend, or even into next week. I usually like to watch a lot of documentaries , but this weekend I’ve got my sights set on an fire samurai battle royale, a historical drama that flows like dark stout, and a gorgeous-looking animated series with fangs. 3 Last Samurai Standing One of the most unique and exhilarating series I’ve seen on Netflix in ages, Last Samurai Standing is based on Shogo Imamura’s novel (and later, a manga) Ikusagami.

This could have major implications for how we use technology going forward.

The Bottom Line

3 Last Samurai Standing One of the most unique and exhilarating series I’ve seen on Netflix in ages, Last Samurai Standing is based on Shogo Imamura’s novel (and later, a manga) Ikusagami.
