青い文学シリーズ

Information

Synopsis

Aoi Bungaku Series” is the anime adaptation of popular Japanese books:

Osamu Dazai’sNo Longer Human” (Ep. 1-4) tells of the life of Youzou Ooba, who cannot show his true self to others and therefore constantly maintains a façade of hollow cheerfulness. In the process, Youzou finally wants to end his pitiful life, as he no longer sees any point in continuing to live.

Ango Sakaguchi’sIn the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom” (Ep. 5-6) tells the story of the mountain bandit Shigemaru, who so far has led a simple existence as a petty thief until one day, he meets the beautiful Akiko. He immediately falls for her charm and grace and fulfils her every wish, no matter how terrible it may seem.

Souseki Natsume’sKokoro” (Ep. 7-8) describes how a learned young man, simply called Sensei, takes in a stray vagabond named K. Soon, a competition for the pretty daughter of the landlady breaks out between the two; they start being rivals. The story is told from both Sensei’s and K’s perspective.

Osamu Dazai’s “Run, Melos!” (Ep. 9-10) tells the story of the writer Takada, who is still influenced by a traumatic youth experience. When he is commissioned to write a play with the plot of Schiller’s “The Pledge”, the wounds of the past tear open again, and the play and personal memories begin to flow into each other.

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa’sThe Spider’s Thread” (ep. 11) tells of the self-confident young villain Kandata, who believes he is invincible and can take anything he desires. He terrifies the entire city and soon becomes the most wanted criminal in the entire country. In the end, his chance to change his life and finally become a better person literally hangs by a thread.

Ryuunosuke Akutagawa’s “Hell Screen” (ep. 12) is about the artist Yoshihide, who is considered the greatest painter in the country and is therefore often hired by the ruler of Horikawa in whose estate Yoshihide’s daughter also works. When Yoshihide is commissioned by his emperor to paint his empire in full splendour and abundance in his future mausoleum, Yoshihide develops a plan. If he succeeds, the result will not only be his but probably one of the greatest masterpieces in the history of mankind.
