Orphan Fansubs presents the first English version of the 1995 TV special *Eiyuu Banka Koushi-den* (*The Heroic Elegy of Confucius*). This movie-length special is a biography on Kong Qui (known in the West as Confucius), one of mankind's greatest philosophers. Ripped from a Japanese laserdisc on the Domesday Duplicator by Piyo Piyo Productions and encoded by Orphan's own Intrepid Media Maven™, this show was virtually unknown to Western audiences and still doesn't appear in many anime databases. For more information, see [this blog entry](https://collectr.blogspot.com/2020/09/eiyuu-banka-koushi-den.html).

This release, and all Orphan releases, are available for direct download from IRC bot Orphan|Arutha in channels #nibl or #news on irc.rizon.net.
Baka me: the title is Eiyuu **Banka** Koushi-den, not Banku. **Please rename the file when it has finished downloading.**
The annotated anime analects of Confucius! Wonderful! Is this part of an NHK series on philosophers/generals/history? What an excellent way to learn, both the improved anime, literate subtitles, and your excellent crib/notes without which I'd have probably got lost and given up ( https://collectr.blogspot.com/2020/09/eiyuu-banka-koushi-den.html). Praise be!!!
