A young orphan named Biwa is taken in by the powerful Taira Clan—also known as the Heike—after their leader witnesses her extraordinary psychic abilities. Unfortunately, what she predicts is a future of bloodshed, violence, and civil war. Inspired by the 12th-century epic tale Heike Monogatari.

The most beautiful anime I only kind of understood.

A strange, misguided adaptation that adds pointless diversions to a Japanese literary classic

Was Heike Monogatari too ambitious?

A beautifully animated retelling of a feudal classic that, unfortunately, is too short to fit its ambitious story.

It's possible that Naoko Yamada is the greatest anime director of all time.
