If I remember correctly, a villager doesn't bow as a samurai rides by, and samurai turns and lops the villager's head clean off. I think that was within the first 15 minutes of the first episode. That got me excited because I thought there would be a lot of swordplay, but it became a political intrigue and romantic story that was a bit boring for my 8-yr old self.

Yes! And that was such an extreme an unexpected thing to see with no warning on 1980 broadcast TV! I actually kind of can't believe they got away with it. I wanted to keep watching it but my mom wouldn't let me because of that out of the blue violence. I was 7
