brainy vs. muscle-y

Aoi Bungaku 7-8! Kokoro by Natsume Souseki with character design by Takeshi Obata (the huge guy looks a bit 'Bleach'-like though) is the story in this arc. The story is told by the viewpoint of two characters, a typical studious-looking student called 'Sensei' in the story, and a large, rough-looking Buddhist(?) student, K. Sensei invites K to live with him at a house where an older woman and her daughter are providing his lodging and meals. Sensei finds K's actions suspicious and eventually, becomes jealous of the daughter's interest in K. When the story is told from K's point of view, you see that he is confused by the daughter's actions. I get the trend that well, females weren't portrayed as positive influences in classical literature (they cause men to go a bit coo-coo)...or maybe the producers like that aspect of these choice stories. Anyway, these stories are produced and told quite well. The animation and background music has been distinct and memorable for each arc, too.

Inuyasha: The Final Act 10! A filler monster to help Inuyasha recover. New ending song and winter visuals....blah.
