Shin Hakkenden Based on the long cherished, classic Japanese novel Nanso Satomi Hakkenden by Bakin Kyokutei Takizawa (1767), a modified version of it was made into animation. The anime uses three pieces of theme music one opening theme and two ending themes. Jinrai Hazuki One of the resistance guerillas with the "Tree (樹)" orb in his shield. Tomoka Daiga A gambler with the "Water (水)" orb in his dice. Rei Yozora A mysterious tomboyish youth with the "Shadow (影)" orb in her pistol. Kyou Enjyou A vengeful ex-cop with the "Flame (炎)" orb in his lost left eye. Chuji A cyborg dog with the "Earth (地)" orb in his teeth Noboru Kongou A young girl of a resistance guerillas with the "Metal (鋼)" orb in her knife. Ruty Onmyou A young girl as the series' narrator, later revealed to carry the "Bright (明)" orb in her ocarina. Believing the Queen to be at fault, all of humanity lost faith and never spoke of her again and decided to reside on the eight moons.Ĭharacters Kou Yagami The main protagonist with the "Air (宙)" orb in his sword. The Queen led her followers to the center to restore the Earth, but instead disrupted the universe's balance that could potentially trigger a cosmic obliteration. It was then the 100th Queen Fuse declared that this "center" be known as "Tenkai", their brand new world. They traveled until they came across a mysterious "center" with eight moons circling around its orbit.

With Queen Fuse's guidance, humanity prospered across the galaxy for million days and nights. Queen Fuse prophesized an incoming meteor onto a collision course with "Earth", and all those who believed in her built the Yatsufusa, an imperial interstellar starship to accommodate all of Earth's humanity and escape. The planet once called "Earth" is on the brink of destruction due to the overflowing population and continuing environmental destruction. The "THE" at the front of the title is not, in fact, a formality of translation, but an actual part of the title written in English, perhaps chosen by the series' writers to deliberately convey that sense of modernity.The story begins on the year 2588, years after the "Earth" exploded from a meteor collision. It is also known for introducing a modern perspective to a literary classic, since outdated, morally ambiguous concepts such as feudal loyalty and devotion are closely scrutinized and re-examined during many of the conflicts in the story.
