I never thought I would see Osamu Dazai get isekai'd, but it's here.

First impressions: I like it a lot.

This anime subverts isekai, has a great mc and is very enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing the next episodes.

Not sure what to think yet. His personality is definitely unique for an isekai, but I'm not sure how long the gags will keep being entertaining.

Another unexpected banger this season. This season in my opinion has a lot of good shows. The premise is fucking crazy though lmao.

I can't believe Truck-kun has actual lore now, collecting people even in the late 40s.

Sensei really got that depression rizz. I shall be watching Annette's career with great interest.

We will never learn Tama's name at this point, even in the cast list her name is just Tama lmao.

I always love my failure squads, so this is gonna be fun.

I wonder if that girl at the end was Sacchan.

That fucking out of nowhere isekai truck!

I dont care if this show is going to be trash, I will watch it just for that alone.

I was hoping he would jump straight out of the window, he was close.

Ok show of the season. "Isekai selection truck" I love this already.

An actually depressed MC, surrounded by overly energetic isekai girls? This does sound interesting.

But for real, the art quality is meh, the same studio made Isekai Ojisan and that was amazing. I can see myself only watching this for half a season until the novelty runs out.

"Poor Osamu, they won't let him die in peace and now he's forced to be an adventurer in another world. So Truck-kun is a means of transportation to another world, that was interesting.

There are some good waifus in this anime, but it seems that Osamu will never notice them, even though they are already falling in love with him, I don't blame him, there is no greater demonstration of love than a double suicide, haha, so Sacchan has a big advantage.

I'm pretty burnt out from the isekai genre and tend to drop series in it after a couple episodes, if I don't avoid it outright...but this one seems to have a good twist on the usual tropes. Like with what Isekai Uncle pulled off.

The character designs are unique and look really good! And thankfully the doomer MC is not a generic-looking self insert. He is still overpowered but in an unintentionally funny way that aligns with his doomer personality. He doesn't even know that he's powerful, he's just trying to not live lol.

Truck-kun is explicitly acknowledged as a vehicle that brings people to other worlds. This is the first time I've seen that happen.

Annette mentions that she welcomed many heroes before the MC, but that she became disillusioned with her job due to those heroes being pretentious or arrogant. She fell for the MC because he was none of those things, so she actually feels like helping him out.

"Tama" the catgirl looks like she'll be the target of many jokes and ecchi scenarios. But maybe the show will subvert my expectations in that regard as well, perhaps she will become a strong and interesting character as well.

Looking forward to the next one, the premise is interesting enough and the humor is good! I want to see how the characters grow, if at all. Interesting how finding your soulmate can be your sole reason to live, if only to commit double suicide.

Tbh this seems like such trash but the first episode was funny and entertaining enough for me to continue at least for now. The only thing here will be whether this has anything else going on except Daza-, excuse me, Sensei's suicidal mission. I'll see how fast the joke gets old and if this anime will have other good comedy. I always feel a bit weird with Dazai's mental issues being played for comedy, but the moment he tried to immediately kill himself again after getting to the isekai world was pretty funny to me. Also I like his character design a lot.

I'll give this a chance but my first impression is that this is likely a 5-7/10 show, if it doesn't do something more with its story.
"Oh, I wasn't trying to be funny.. I would've put a 'Haha' at the end of it."

Omfg what a breath of fresh air.. FINALLY! A Mc who simply doesn’t give a $&@!. Live? Die? Who cares!? But the best part.. the absolute best part is that he’s actually looking for a WOMAN! Is there a meteor hurling towards the earth?! Honestly speaking I don’t know how I’ve missed this hidden gem up until now. We have a story of a man who’s searching for his lost love simply so they can die together! Its doesn’t get anymore romantic than that! 10/10..

Truck-kun appearing out of nowhere lmao. And it's not even a random truck, it's the Other World Selection Truck xD.

It had already caught my eye in the PV but the girls are pretty hot, especially the elf. Elf who is already in love with the MC haha. I love how happy Annette is dragging the coffin.

And hotness aside, I don't know if it's the art style but they look really pretty.

It seems that the cat girl is doomed and from now on she is just Tama lol.

The synopsis and the PV caught my attention and made me look forward to this series, and the first episode has not disappointed. Hilarious, fun characters, hot girls... looking forward to more!

it's been some time since an isekai interested me this much. i had it on my to-watch list cuz of dazai and it didn't fail to deliver the morbid humor lol
it's funny how it poked at some of the isekai jokes like the truck and the otherworlders.
also funny that he gathered a harem. the real dazai also went through many lovers and the poor dude also failed at suicide many times, including one time where the lover died but he got saved by other people...
while i liked seeing him being pathetic and depressing (and low key relatable at times), i'm interested in seeing the full extent of his ability in this new world.

Reply to Kayro
So this is basically Zetsubou-sensei in an isekai series.
@Kayro This is more like Zetsubou-sensei's idol kind of novelist in your typical isekai series.

I love how he makes the atmosphere less sparkly and doesn't react "correctly" to the cookie-cutter isekai characters (Annette does show promise), but it seems like I'll have to look out for the OP and harem path. Let's hope it doesn't go there too much. Other than that, nandemo koi! Looking forward to the next ep!

Given that he was standing right in front of an open window over a cliff I figured that's what he'd go for, so the pills were a surprise.

Also, did he seriously find a reason to live in the first episode? Isn't him being suicidal the only unique thing about this show? What the hell.

Horrible implications of dazai that reflect a poor or nonexistent understanding of him as a person. The very first scene of his double suicide was completely and utterly inaccurate. They weren't a couple, they were basically friends with benefits if even that. The woman wanted to die, and he kinda just half assed followed her to a cliff. The details of the actual event weren't concrete in the novel but yes they both jumped no she did not make it yes he did.

Aside from the inaccurate and very cartoonishly made first scene, dazai did not and was not this unafraid man they portray him to be, infact he was the absolute furthest from that and arguably his fear made him go through more than if he wasn't so fearful. It's funny to have a character like this in the show but leave dazai out of this. I know it's just his pen name so its whatever but for a harem???? A HAREM??????

the only thing accurate is he was a womanizer although it was kinda like a lost dog situation at some points imo he didn't really go into detail in the novel about it.
Absolutely blows my mind how high the author had to be to make this shit into an actual series that also got an adaptation for some reason, also begging the question of who's reading this? i hope it's not the bungou stray dog kids

overall 0/10 please make your own original character i know it won't sell because its another fucking isekai harem among the probably hundreds at this point but this is blasphemy on dasai's name

This is the expression. Of our hero. Of his glory.


Of a man who just cannot even anymore.

In the face of a damsel in peril.





Of his own circumstances, and misfortune. Wrought by his stalker.


Our hero lives a woeful life. Truly an Icarus by the women who are attracted to his light.

Another Osamu Dazai to watch out for 🖤
The girls looked like interesting characters and the plot didn't look boring as well even though it's another isekai story. It's so funny how they made Truck-kun officially the source of all Other Worlders and I love how the MC had set his mind to finding his lover even in this new world he's in. Excited for this!

"I'm honestly shocked that no one has mentioned that this episode mirrors the opening of the book 'No Longer Human' up until the truck-kun part. I'm honestly curious about where this is going to go, as the 'No Longer Human' book was one of the saddest and most degenerate books I think I've ever read. Seeing the similarities, such as the MC sharing the name of the author and the clear influence on the title and opening scene, I am curious about where they will take this isekai parody of Japan's one of the most popular and darkest books."

Hm not sure how I feel about this. Like the premise of Dazai being in another world is not sound bad and actually can be interesting but when you make it most generic isekai from first episode with cat girl and boobs. Im not sure if it can be something interesting its straight up basic isekai with a little bit different type of main character.
@kirA_-_ What's wrong with boobs? Boobs make the world go 'round. Without boobs many men would have no real motivation to do anything but play video games and watch anime all day long. Wait a sec here... i just described myself didn't I? Damn it I need more boobs!

EH.... it's kinda interesting and sorta original I guess...

But I am not really fond of the whole "kill yourself" plot... (nor should anyone be supporting killing yourself)

.

I might watch episode 2, but if it gets a bit boring, I think I am going to skip this.
