Synopsis:

In a secluded coastal town steeped in folklore, a young woman named Hana grapples with a mysterious inheritance – an antique music box said to hold echoes of the past. As she delves into its melodies, fragmented memories surface, blurring the line between reality and legend. The narrative unfolds within a visually rich environment, blending everyday life with subtly unsettling elements that hint at hidden histories and long-forgotten sorrows. Hana’s journey is one of self-discovery, navigating complicated familial ties while confronting a legacy she never knew existed. The series explores themes of memory, identity, and the power of narrative to shape our understanding of the world, presented through a contemplative pace and evocative atmosphere. A bonus episode expands on key character backstory available on the seventh DVD.

Reviews:

  • User Apomaro-Mellow (Score: 10/10):
    I can understand why this special was kept separate from the rest of the anime. It's humorous nature didn't really fit the feel that the end of the first season held. But nonetheless, it's very good and any fan of the anime would love it. It highlights the relationship between Yukimura and his retainers and shows how Shingen and Sasuke see him. This special is good for a great laugh if you're a fan of the passionate rivalry between Masamune and Yukimura, Sasuke's ninja antics, or the over-the-top-ness of that comes with anything associated with Sengoku Basara.
