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.
This anime pulls you into the perspective of the crazy or insane, but you'll find yourself understanding that point of view and why the characters did what they did. It's full of suspense and mystery and I found myself watching all the episodes in one day.
