Summary:
An animated adaptation of six classical Japanese literature pieces, including No Longer Human (Ningen Shikaku) and Run, Melos (Hashire, Melos) by Osamu Dazai, Kokoro by Natsume Souseki, Hell Screen (Jigoku Hen) and The Spider's Thread (Kumo no Ito) by Ryunosuke Akutagawa and In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom (Sakura no Mori no Mankai no Shita) by Ango Sakaguchi.
I'm just on the first story so far, the first episode seemed a bit boring at first but when you get more inside the story, it gets interesting. Its beutifully drawn and the atmosphere very dream like and dark. 5 stars on this one. I will continue watching and later write a more complete review.
