Shin Hakkenden (神八剣伝, 'legend of the eight divine swords') is a Japaneseanime series. The anime is based on the epic novel Nansō Satomi Hakkenden (which also had an earlier OVA adaptation, The Hakkenden) except it is set in the future.^[1] Directed by Katsuyoshi Yatabe, the anime's 26 episodes were broadcast on TV Tokyo between April 3, 1999 and September 25, 1999.

Story[edit]

The story began on the year 2588, years after the 'Earth' exploded from a meteor collision.

The planet once called 'Earth' is on the brink of destruction due to the overflowing population and continuing environmental destruction. Queen Fuse prophesized an incoming meteor onto a collision course with 'Earth', and all those who believed in her built the Yatsufusa, an imperial interstellar starship to accommodate all of Earth's humanity and escape.

With Queen Fuse's guidance, humanity prospered across the galaxy for million days and nights. They traveled until they came across a mysterious 'center' with eight moons circling around its orbit. It was then the 100th Queen Fuse declared that this 'center' be known as 'Tenkai', their brand new world.

The Queen led her followers to the center to restore the Earth, but instead disrupted the universe's balance that could potentially trigger a cosmic obliteration. Believing the Queen to be at fault, all of humanity lost faith and never spoke of her again and decided to reside on the eight moons.
