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.
The stories are great, and that's the best thing in these episodes. They're dark, cruel, but real! They're all about the real world, so you'll got a new point of view to the world you're living in. but a weak point in this anime series I found was the dialogs, some times the dialogs directly say the main idea of the story and it's not delicate. maybe if there were more scenes to tell the story, instead of direct speaking and short sentences, it would be better...
