Hakushaku to Yousei (Early and Fairy) Specials - a picture drama where the characters recite lines from Shakespeare poems. The poetic lines are recited using Old English terms like "thine" and "thee". Imagine sitting through literature class deciphering the intricate meanings behind every line of Shakespeare's poems. A dictionary needs to be rested in the audience's hands that cracks the Old English terms into the modern day language. Even the subtitles and captions are written in Old English. It confused me greatly. There's no substantial plot. It's more of a poetry recital. I'm also not in the mood to crack each poetic line to decipher themeaning behind Shakespeare's words. The only perk of watching this anime was listening to the beautiful and traditional classical music that roams in the background. Old English poetry recitals are not my cup of tea. It will remind me of classical school plays where they recite words off written poems (either memorized or looking at a script or note cards).
