Two independent adaptations of the same novel, forty four years apart, and a 2024 series that was sold as a limited series and then won as a drama.
Two adaptations of one novel. They share a source, not a continuity, so you can watch either without the other. If you only watch one, watch the 2024 series.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
The complete novel in ten hours, and the version that moves beyond the Western outsider's perspective. On Hulu and Disney+.
Optional and historically interesting: it keeps the viewer confined to Blackthorne's bewilderment, with much of the Japanese left untranslated on purpose. Harder to find, with no major subscription home in the United States.
Then what? A second season of the 2024 series has finished filming for a 2027 window. It has no novel left to adapt, so it is original material. No episode count and no date have been announced, and season 3's status could not be established at all.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Your progress is saved on this device automatically. The code below takes a copy out and puts it back. If you would rather not do it by hand, a free account syncs every device you sign in on automatically.
The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in, good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.
Every franchise you have touched, in one code.
Scan it with another device's camera, or paste the code in below. It never leaves your browser.
This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that: scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.
Takes either kind of code. A single franchise code replaces that franchise, on any device. An everything code merges by default, so nothing you have ticked on this device is lost. Putting a whole list onto a device that has nothing on it yet works too, and an account does the same job without you having to remember a code.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.
Yours, on every device you sign in on.
Your SagaList account.
Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
