I just blew through episode 1 and started 2 yesterday. I thought episode was fantastic, but I had to come in and comment on episode 2. It is okay, but an hour in and it does a few things I'm finding odd? For starters, he apologizes about 30-45 minutes in for focusing so much on Nanjing in a way that makes it sound like he is going to keep going on about it, then meanders, and then is done with Nanjing. Now I am only an hour and 20 in, but it came off so odd. Am I the only one who actually felt like he didn't focus on Nanjing enough? There was no real period to the story, and for something that huge, I kind of wanted one? I also wasn't a fan that towards the end of this meander after Nanjing, he goes into the "other side" and Japan's opinion of Nanjing. The opinions on that side weren't very focused or articulated either, other than, "You guys have done bad things too!" and it left me wondering why any time is being wasted on what Japan thinks of their massacre of innocent people.
I'm still really liking this, but I just had to pause to vent and ramble. Maybe I'm the only one who felt something just didn't click about the Nanjing portion of this episode.
