Orphan is redoing as many of the stories from the 1986 anthology series *Seishun Anime Zenshuu* (translated as *Animated Classics of Japanese Literature* for its English release) as we can find sources for, starting with the twelve episodes released in North America on DVD. We’ll be releasing the show as individual stories; the second is a two-parter, *The Sound of Waves*, based on a 1954 novel by Mishima Yukio. It's a coming-of-age story and a romance set on an island off Japan. Kubo Shinji is a young fisherman. He meets and falls in love with Hatsue, the daughter of a local bigwig, and the feeling is mutual. But the young lovers face multiple obstacles in their path: jealous acquaintances, gossipy neighbors, and Hatsue's suspicious father. Will the course of Young Love™ run true? No points for guessing. %20%5BF1B9D62D%5D_001_10649.png) %20%5BB0C6B72F%5D_001_5489.png) New encode from the R1 DVD. Translation checked script, with fixed timing and new typesetting.
