First review Yay! (I’m here to review the first 4 episodes of Aoi Bungaku)

An anime can’t have the density of a book. But It can use others things like music or visuals to convey the feelings it wants.

Im going to be straight with you: you won’t like this Anime in fact I don’t like it myself but in End I can’t anything other that this is a Masterpiece.
in terms human emotion and feelings so I have a few words to the author (Osamu Dazai)
Thank you for your works and please be happy wherever you are after death.

If I phrase the story ... of No Longer Human differently I’d say: Is the story of a man who tried to escape Hell but to Only fall even Lower.

The music highlights these feelings perfectly (is by the same composer who did the music for death note)

The directing/animation does his job perfectly I don’t have anything to really complain about.

To be honest, a review can’t exactly describe the things I felt while watching the story of Ooba Youzou. The fact that this story is a semi-biography makes it even more.. Heartbreaking I guess
Maybe is because I watched whit a bad quality video and lights but it felt old and real in a sense.
No longer human is a story about a man and his life. I don’t relate to the character one bit but I can still understand him his feelings, his dilemma, his regrets and his guilt. The guilt of having survived a double suc*de which makes him thinks he killed a person. And in a sense he did. His regrets of past action to his father and other women he meets in his story you can feel it, you can live it. He feels regrets by his misery the fact that he is basically a freeloader living of woman I lived it with the main character.
And finally,
I Cried. At the end it alls came down pouring on you every single of actions came back.. to basically make him No Longer Human, the trauma he had, the choice he had taken, EVERYTHING. So he falls even lower, he falls into drugs
