Synopsis

Born from a much loved, but lowly ranked concubine, Genji Hikaru is called the Shining Prince and is the beloved second son of the Emperor. Although he cannot be an heir to the throne of his father, Genji spends his life surrounded by every pleasure and love. And yet, his one longing in love is something that even the power of an Emperor can never give him.

As a long time fan of the book, I suppose it's only fair to split this review into 2 parts, one for the people who have read the book and one for the people who haven't.

For those who haven't read the book.
First of all, read it, it's good. It's a tough book though, it's a 1400 page monster that sometimes skips 8 years only to spend 70 pages in the exact same location and time. And of course, it's written in the 11th century in the extremely stuck up yet overly emotional Heian court. It's a completely different world with strange traditions and societal expectations. ...

If you are familiar with the "Tales of Genji", this is pretty much a anime adaption about it. While there is a bit of inaccuracies with it especially in the closing of the anime, certain things hold true such as Genji is playboy from the Heian period and is in love with his stepmother who is technically not that much older than him.

Preliminary (2/11 eps)

Please note this review is based on only 1.5 episodes, so I could be wrong and maybe things got better...

While this anime is full of pretty things, and has a wonderfully soft and slow pace to it, what I have gathered is this is essentially a series about a dude boinking ladies in old timey Japan, but in a nice way... so 'romantically boinking ladies' in old timey Japan?

He loves ladies, and he loves to love ladies. And they love him. Like most dudes in real life who go around romantically boinking ladies, he's looking for... *something*, but despite the pretty and ALL the ...
