It explores many of the same themes. I hadn&apos;t read this story before, but I wouldn&apos;t be at all surprised to find out the authors of the series had read it.&lt;p&gt;Viewable on CrunchyRoll, legally, for free:&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.crunchyroll.com/time-of-eve/episode-1-akiko-452708&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http://www.crunchyroll.com/time-of-eve/episode-1-akiko-45270...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are six episodes of about 15 minutes each.</text></comment>

It&apos;s not exactly Nabokov, but this is a pretty wonderful story. RIP, John.</text></comment>
