The Hakkenden
AIC's OVA The Hakkenden has two segments, the second entitled Shinsh. 1999's Shin Hakkenden is a sequel. The animation is based on Kyokutei Bakin's Edo-era epic Nans Satomi Hakkenden. 106 volumes make it the longest classic Japanese novel. The Hakkenden is recognized for its unusual animation, which switches between aesthetic styles. The series uses symbolic imagery and concepts, allowing it to straddle animation and art. It also introduces a modern viewpoint to a literary classic by examining obsolete, morally dubious ideals like feudal loyalty and devotion. The "THE" in the title is not a translation formality, but an actual component of the English title, probably chosen by the series' creators to represent modernity.
