I've been watching Onmyouji 2. A little late in the day the penny drops in re: Hiromasa, and I think where have I seen that dorky expression before? Unh-hunh, Li Seitan in Youmi Henjou Yawa, drawn by no-coincidence the Onmyouji mangaka. Checking out my one volume of Onmyouji (and still not getting past the opening obscure episode wherein Seimei instructs goggling Hiromasa in the geometrical properties of the onmyou tradition) I find yes theatrically overdone Hiromasa and dryly ijiwaru Seimei. I fancy the movie is merely being true to its manga roots.
I also discover a hilarious western review of Onmyouji 2 by someone with evidently no knowledge of history, kyougen, or much of anything else. The Tokugawa Mikado and the daimyou officials, huh? to say nothing of "We witness the official's body being thrown, screaming, with incredible force from his palladin." An official might well scream when ripped apart from his paladin in presumed mid-intercourse. Whether seme or uke, the experience cannot fail to be painful.

Was, however, impressed by his intelligence re flute-playing at one significant point.

most primordial
actual historical figure
literally trained from earliest childhood
rather ancient tradition
more melodramatic feel
invaluable treasures
deeply engrained intuitions
Whee.
But she's not coming to my town with her movies. :(

Daimyou are the regional clan heads in the Edo period, mostly descended from warriors who supported Tokugawa Ieyasu. What you see in Onmyouji are Kyoto nobility, mostly descended from younger brothers of earlier Emperors. However powerful the daimyou got, the attitude of the court nobles is that they were uncouth barbarians.

Wulfgaar enjoyed playing "spear and magic helmet" as much as any warrior would, perhaps more, considering fair Trieste was spread below him with more immodesty than he would think possible in a junior official of the Emperor's beuracracy.
Was spread. Had been spread. Was currently not spread as the Saxon dangled Someplace Else, buck naked and uncomfortably erect in the presence of his warrior's ancestor-gods.
"This had better be quite good." He folded his arms and attempted to look appropriately fierce in the face of improbable humiliation. "Trieste may not let me back in his bedchamber for weeks now."
The one-eyed one with the raven on his head gave a dusty snort. "Wulfgaar, you moron. We did not send you forth into Byzantium for the man-sex."

(yeah. spear and magic helmet) the cross-dressing brunhilde bunny says with a jerk of his thumb.

A wolf in pig's clothing? Really? How... Chinese. Meaning that Seitan has more smarts than you'd think to look at him? (As evidenced where, she mutters.) As Incandescens said up there, movie2 Hiromasa does have his moments of using his head to quite splendid effect.

And yes, he's just like that in the novel, too.
