Anime : The Heike Story

f:id:higecho:20220210180657j:plain

An original anime with a new approach to the famous classic story.
The original story is about the rise and fall of the Heike clan over a period of less than 20 years, played by a biwa (lute) player. As an objective historical narrator, the anime work features fiction character  Biwa, a mysterious girl with precognitive powers. Through her eyes, the story carefully depicts the wheels of history going out of control, with Taira no Kiyomori's outburst and the death of his son Taira no Shigemori, the only fixer between Kiyomori and the Imperial Court. The narration by Biwa (voice: Yuki Aoi) is excellent.
The unique artistic touch animation is done by  Science SARU Inc.("Night Is Short, Walk On Girl") and director Yamada Naoko ("K-ON!":Director). Screenplay by Yoshida Reiko("Violet Evergarden":Composition), voice casts Yuki Aoi("Puella Magi Madoka Magica" : Kaname Madoka), Sakurai Takahiro("CODE GEASS Lelouch of the Rebellion":Kururugi Suzaku), Hayami  Saori("The Irregular at Magic High School":Shiba Miyuki), Genda Tessho("The Laughing Salesman":Moguro Fukuzo), Chiba Shigeru("Yu Yu Hakusho":Kuwabara Kazuma), Irino Miyu("Spirited Away" : Haku), Inoue Kikuko("Ranma 1/2":Tendo Kasumi), Kobayashi Yumiko("Crayon Shin-chan":Nohara Shinnosuke), Okamoto Nobuhiko("My Hero Academia":Bakugo Katsuki), Hanae Natsuki("Demon Slayer":Kamado Tanjiro), Murase Ayumu("Black Clover":Luck Voltia), Nishiyama Kotaro("Binan Koukou Chikyuu Bouei-bu Love!"Kinugawa Atsushi), Hiyama Nobuyuki("Yu Yu Hakusho":Hiei), Kimura Subaru("Doraemon":Gian), Miyazaki Yu("100 sleeping princes & the kingdom of dreams":Kiel), Minase Inori("Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-" : Rem), Sugita Tomokazu("Gintama ":Sakata Gintoki), Kaji Yuki("Attack on Titan":Eren Yeager) and others.
