Read full review on AniList →The original _Tale of the Heike_ (__平家物語, Heike Monogatari__) is a Japanese literary epic detailing the fall of the Taira clan (aka the "Heike" family) in the Genpei War.

Yes, KyoAni is unquestionably an industry leader, pushing the envelope on how visually marvelous anime can be, but at the end of the day, KyoAni st…
Read full review on AniList →So...this anime literally came right out of nowhere. Announced in September 2021, premiering not even weeks afterward, it caught a lot of people by surprise, especially the staff behind it.
