Description:
* The series consists of adaptations of six modern classics of Japanese literature.
No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku) by http://anidb.net/cr9129 [Dazai Osamu] — A high school student becomes lost and alienated. Despondent and aimless, he falls into a cycle of self abuse, depression and drugs that taints his life for years. Told in three chapters, each chapter deals with a different point in his life and the final chapter leaves him standing alone — an empty and hollow caricature of his former self.
In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita) by http://anidb.net/cr10171 [Sakaguchi Ango] — A love story between a 12th-century woman and a mountain bandit who abducts her.
Run, Melos! (Hashire, Melos!) by http://anidb.net/cr9129 [Dazai Osamu] — An updated retelling of a classic Greek tale of the story of Damon and Pythias. Unwavering friendship is the most prominent theme of this retelling. Despite facing hardships, the protagonist http://anidb.net/ch26335 [Melos] does his best to save his friend`s life, and in the end his efforts are rewarded.
Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) by http://anidb.net/cr10173 [Akutagawa Ryuunosuke] — A famous artist is commissioned by a great lord to create a series of paintings depicting scenes of the Buddhist Hell. The artist is unable to paint scenes that he has not seen himself, prompting him to torture and torment the Lord`s staff to create his imagined images of hell. His creative efforts taint the household, as the story descends into madness and destruction.
Kokoro by http://anidb.net/cr10172 [Natsume Souseki] — A 1914 tale of a young man`s life journey during the Meiji era. The work deals with the transition from the Japanese Meiji society to the modern era, by exploring the friendship between a young man and an older man he calls http://anidb.net/ch26325 [Sensei]. It continues the theme of isolation developed in Souseki`s previous works, here in the context of interwoven strands of egoism and guilt, as opposed to shame.
The Spider`s Thread (Kumo no Ito) by http://anidb.net/cr10173 [Akutagawa Ryuunosuke] — The Buddha Shakyamuni chances to notice a cold-hearted criminal suffering in Hell. But this criminal did perform one single act of kindness in not stepping on a spider in a forest. Moved by this selfless act, Shakyamuni takes the silvery thread of a spider in Paradise and lowers it down into Hell, but it falls upon the criminal to seize the opportunity and pull himself out — if he can. | Similar Animes |
