*pets her yaying seahorse* Huzzah! An ukelette returns from darkest Oregon!
I was about 9 the first time I read Shogun, or tried to (I got all the way through the first volume), and remember very little of this first experience, other than that there was quite a bit I didn't understand. (Namely, the persecution of Christians. Why would anyone want to persecute Catholics? We're bitchin'!) I was a bit of an enfant terrible.
The second time I tried to read Shogun, I was about 20 or 21 (I believe the former, since I spent most of my stint as a Wal-Bot pretending to be a samurai. Now you know where Yukichi comes from). At that point, I had discovered Yoshikawa Eiji, so I just groaned and said, "Fuck this, I'm gonna go read me some Blade of the Immortal."
At least in the mini-series, you got to see nekkid Shimada Yoko. WIN.
If I make a community for it, and at this point, I have almost decided I shall, I will let you know about it, loudly and with pointing and jumping up and down. ^_^
