I remain cautious on this one since I tend to much prefer the original meaning and stories behind the manyoushuu poetry. The problem I could see is that everything turns into some great love story, but that is mostly not the case with those poems. Many speak of sad, unrequited, or lost love. I would rather not see some sugar-coated wish-fufillment, which the "very liberal" seems to hint at.

Actually, many scholars think that (the prototype of) Ogura Hyakunin'isshu was compiled in Katei 1. Katei 1 ≒ A.D. 1235. Therefore, according to this major theory, the period in question is the Kamakura period, rather than the Heian period.

Yay! I'm looking forward to this series! Very Happy

I hope they talk about (or perhaps show) the historical meaning behind each poem!

I don't see how you could write anything but a very loose interpretation, given that these are just poems -- there is no real story to be told.

As a previous commenter said, I'm interested in this show to see more Josei. I am a big fan of Chihayafuru, but I don't think this will satisfy my craving for Chihayafuru Season 2.

The art and the music in the video are excellent. Lets compare it to what will actually done in the anime.
