Isekai Shikkaku

One of the best Isekai Anime I've ever watched, All aspect of this just overwhelmingly good, Even the world design or background story aren't that deep but all of the character stories just giving you that type of feeling that hard to get from Anime, even it kinda low-key drama, but every episode is worth the tear, also the mc characteristic is hard to find in anime these days now, Also the MC power is some what mind blowing and unique, they would wiped out all of the Isekai OP that ever made For sure a worth to watch if you a fan of Isekai ... Anime.

This is a "what if a 90s depressed & suicidal grunge alt-rock artist (Kurt Cobain) was turned into an early 1900s anime protagonist", which isn't a bad thing.

"No Longer Allowed in Another World" is a really good anime with just a very slow start. The first few episodes take their merry time to speed up, but once the pace actually speeds up, it gets much better to watch.

Lets start with whats good:
1. The Animation:
The animation is very pleasing to the eyes and doesn't have jank CGI like some animes that were released this season. Really well produced and has very crisp animation.

2. The Characters:
At first ... I wasn't very sure of the characters, they came across as one dimensional in the beginning episodes, but as this season went on they gained an alright personality with "Sensei" actually getting decent development. By the time the anime ended I really liked the characters, obviously some of them are very basic, but they at-least were likable and didn't come across as stupid and dense.

3. The Story:
The story is actually pretty good, and isn't boring to watch. Though this isn't exactly the most original premise, it is done very well and has good plot twists and does some original stuff that isn't common in other animes. Some of it is predictable, but don't let it distract you from seeing that this has a fun story.

The bad:
1. First episodes are really slowly paced:
As I said prior this anime has a really slow pacing at the start of the anime. This isn't the most fun to watch through at the beginning and it is easy to see why a lot of people dropped this anime at episode 3 and didn't want to give the rest a shot.

2. Some of the humor isn't great:
This is something that is SUBJECTIVE, so please take it with a grain of salt. A decent amount of this anime's suicidal and dark jokes don't quite hit the mark of actually being funny, even when they are funny it is more because it is random, like the anime randomly panning over to the MC eating a bunch of poisonous pills to end themselves. Of course there are funny scenes here that do not involve the MC poisoning himself, but a good majority are involving his suicidal tendencies which can be a coin flip on if they are funny or not.

The ugly:
If you don't like a theme that involves suicide as a comedic joke, then this is probably not for you, and it should be ignored if you have the belief that suicide is not a joke or can be used as a joke.

If you want to watch something, and you don't want to search through anime on MAL for 3 hours for something to watch, this is pretty good and I recommend it.
7.5/10

Isekai Shikkaku got overshadowed this season, but make no mistake, this is the BEST fantasy show of Summer 2024 by far. It came out of seemingly nowhere and delivered an extremely refreshing take on the isekai genre with mature writing and themes, focus on characters rather than your usual defeat the demon lord or revenge plot and a unique MC for once who doesn’t rely on overpowered abilities to win his battles. The emphasis on helping people move past their trauma and return to their original world was such an interesting narrative decision that made for quite a few emotional moments that I cried for. ... This might seem like seasonal isekai #520000 but it’s so much more and I had a great time watching.

So Isekai Shikkaku has a couple things going for it that make it really good. The first of which being the characters. The party dynamic is among the best I’ve ever seen in the medium. Dazai, Tama, Annette and Near form a genuine family as the show goes on and it doesn’t rely on the girls falling in love with Dazai or fanservice like you see in other fantasy shows. Instead, the unlikely bunch come together after Dazai helps each of them and establishes an almost teacher-student relationship with them. It’s such a cool and wholesome dynamic and I enjoyed seeing how much they all look up to him and how close they got on their travels. The other thing is Dazai himself. You know normally in these isekai shows we get an otaku loser who gets summoned to another world and gets a harem of hot girls around him, fights bad guys, levels up like it’s a video game etc., but isekai Shikkaku is the first isekai I’ve seen that has an actual historical figure as the main character. Yes, that’s right, THAT Dazai is the MC here and they incorporate a lot of his real life personality traits, particularly his desire to commit suicide. It’s played up as a gag a lot, but actually has some very big plot relevance and he’s able to connect with other characters they encounter as a result. Other isekai MCs are out here looking for glory as an adventurer and Dazai just wants to find his lover that he was isekai’d with and commit suicide together.

The other thing that really made this a fun ride was the emphasis on establishing character relationships to stop bad guys rather than just overpowering them with strength. So Dazai does have some broken abilities, but he’s not a fighter. He’s a writer and the author actually did an amazing job of incorporating that into the story. Having Dazai write stories about the characters he’s dealing with and then let them finish it by sending them home, it’s a cool mechanic and speaks to the emotional intelligence of the author here. It almost has a precure vibe if that makes sense with how Dazai deals with villains here. He doesn’t break their bodies or beat them up, but instead breaks through to their hearts , understands where they went wrong and then gives them another chance at life by going back to earth with the lessons they’ve learnt. I know it sounds a little cheesy on paper, but in practice it’s so good and a lot of the characters have gone through some genuinely tough circumstances that when you see, you can’t help but cry over. It’s kind of easy to brush it off as being evil, but if you had all the power in the world after being abused or neglected in your previous life, a lot of people would be in the same position if you put them in this story.

So the story is great and I cried a few times, but the show also just looks gorgeous. I love the character designs and art style and it might not be the best animation but it’s good enough. Direction wise, there’s a couple episodes that were so well done and self contained they almost felt like films. Episode 1 and 11 come to mind.

This is just a really good watch man and a breath of fresh air. I loved the characters, the interesting plot mechanics, Dazai constantly trying to off himself, the casket pulling, you name it. Simply put it’s a great anime and I highly recommend it.

Isekai Shikkaku gets 9 caskets out of 10.

Your Typical Isekai is a weak MC from a normal world, gains powers, and becomes an OP hero in a fantasy world.

Isekai Shikkaku takes a rather unique route.

This dude wants to die. A very melodramatic writer who wants to kill himself in the real world ends up in this fantasy world where he still craves death. But your cliche troupe of women followers want him to live!

I would say this anime is a nice change of pace from your typical animes; it has funny moments and some dragging points. Beyond the main preface, the other fun part is that this is a world ... in which it is normal to summon people from other worlds, but they all seem to suck at being good.

I would spoil it for you, but if you want something a bit different but nothing that is going to blow your mind, this is a fun anime to watch

I don't recommend this and i don't see how anyone else would enjoy it tbh. I really tried, but suicide is not a funny topic, and I didn't find anything fun or comedic about this anime. I thought it would be fun since they're making fun of the Isekai genre and truck-kun, but no. The overly sexualized girls don't help much either. What a waste! especially since the main dude is hot and the story actually had potential.

I dropped bungo stray dogs for the exact same reason. I donno why authors think that a character constantly trying to die is supposed to be funny?

i have read the manga and continuing the anime
i think the character design and animation is one really good point about this anime
i recently watched 'days with my stepsister' and i think the place it missed the mark was voice acting they wanted to create character who speak lazly and slowly but it made the anime boring whereas this anime did better job for sensei who was lazy and depressed but never made it boring...its not like i m comparing those anime but i think what i want to say will be better explained if you watch it both the animes are doing good in ... their respectives genres....
getting back about the story i think it covered too many arcs but it was paced nicely enough for me to not feel that forced ending of any arc...one of the arc about the world tree ended in about one episode but it didnt feel like they forced it too much...and the thing that makes it like that is the power that is given to sensei..which is a major factor makes this pacing to be achieved
overall i dont want to write more so plss understant it is one of the best isekai anime of 2024 concept wise and overall so you can watch

I will say right away, the starting of this anime isn't easy to get into the story, it starts getting more interesting the longer you watch which is why I fully understand the non-recommended people who've only watched 3 episodes then given up.

I'm not even going to write a full in-depth review, all I will say is, apart from the humour, there are actually emotional moments in the later episodes and psychological moments in this series that make you think. Are they somewhat cliche, yes, I won't even try to deny that. But it is a fun take on isekai that I haven't seen before ... and let me tell you I've seen a lot of isekai slop. Anyways, that's my opinion on the anime and it's worth a watch if you've got the time, mostly wanted to post this for people seeing the non-recommended reviews.

To those not watching because of the 'making fun of suicide' please stop posting comments and move on if it's too sensitive of a topic for you. We're not children who don't understand how serious suicide is in reality.

This anime is not for those who are new to the isekai genre.🚨

The story follows a depressed author with suicidal tendencies who gets reincarnated into another world, where similar otherworlders hit by Truck-kun 🚛 try to live the lives they dreamed of.

Our author sensei, along with his ragtag party, unwittingly fixes that world and its people, which forms the basic synopsis.

At times, the anime has vibes reminiscent of "Mushoku Tensei", while at other moments, it feels more like "Konosuba".😲

Pros:
1. Solid storyline
... 2. Each character has depth and background
3. A parody of the isekai genre

Cons:
1. The anime can be too serious
2. Slow pacing

For those who crave a deep plot and love the isekai genre, this is a must-watch. It offers a refreshing take on the genre.👍🏻

first time write a review for this anime. all I have to see is a good one. there are many mid or shit isekai but this is is actually good. the mc is not overpower is people calling him sensei make sense since he actually help some of the realising stuff about them and people around them.
this show combines the comedic part with the serious part very well.


Characters: they are nice made but there is still fan service like most anime in the last years.
Score: 7/10
MC: this man just want to die :)))) ... let him do that. jokes aside the name senseis really suitable for him. he has no over power power, he does not fight. you can see that is is not playing around and think like an normal man who was lived seen both the bad and good in people. Score 9/10

since I am just at episode 8 I can say much about the story but until now I enjoyed.

Overall is more than just an isekai with fan service. and my score will still remain 9 even after the anime is will finish

Isekai parody stories, much like isekai reincarnation stories themselves, are very hit-or-miss with me. I’m a fan of Isekai Ojisan, for example, but Konosuba didn’t really appeal to me at all despite its mainstream popularity. Isekai Shikkaku is another such isekai parody manga series adaptation from AtelierPontdarc, the studio best known for adapting Isekai Ojisan. However, despite coming from the same studio, the same director, and having a somewhat similar brand of humor, I feel that Isekai Shikkaku has some fatal flaws that prevent it from hitting the same way as Ojisan.

This series follows the adventures of real-life writer Osamu Dazai (whose work I’ve unfortunately ... never gotten around to reading although I hope to someday) whose suicide attempt is interrupted by a runaway truck. Like all those who are flattened by this legendary truck, our Senpai is transported to another world; the twist is that he is having absolutely none of this world’s high fantasy shenanigans and just wishes everyone would let him kill himself in peace. Despite Senpai’s determination to die and for reasons I don’t fully understand, he just seems to be immune to death in this world.

Forced to continue living, Senpai travels around the world searching for his lover “Sacchan”, so that they may commit suicide together, with some fantasy world friends he meets along the way. Together they end up in conflict not with a dark lord and the forces of evil, but with other isekai’d would-be-protagonists who are using their special abilities to terrorize this world’s NPC denizens. As it turns out, Senpai is the ideal foe for these power-tripping tyrants as he uses his writer’s insight to deconstruct and lay bare all those unlucky enough to cross his path.

I took to this series' premise right away and I felt that Senpai was a really fun protagonist in a very Addams Family sort of way, although I have my doubts over how reminiscent he is of the real-life Dazai. The first half-or-so of the series was one that I looked forward to watching on air but soon enough I found myself completely bored and having to rewatch episodes I fell asleep watching. Like Isekai Ojisan, this is a series that enjoys making fun of JRPG/Light Novel tropes but unlike Isekai Ojisan it forgets to give you a reason to fall back in love with the genre it's parodying and this ends up becoming the series’ fatal flaw.

Let’s compare, for example, how this series and how Isekai Ojisan deal with female characters and fan-service as both Ojisan and Shikkaku parody the trope of fantasy world characters being unrealistically beautiful. In Ojisan this becomes a major plot point of the story as it leads to Ojisan being hunted down and persecuted as a supposed orc; in Shikkaku it mainly leads to female characters having huge boobs and revealing clothes. Despite this limited focus, Shikkaku doesn’t actually contain much in the way of fan-service giving the impression that the author is merely making fun of the sexualization found in Japanese fantasy without contributing to it. Meanwhile, Isekai Ojisan fully embraces fan-service and fills its story with beautiful girls in pervy situations. In other words, true to its title, Shikkaku (to be unfit for) is merely “making fun” of isekais rather than embracing the genre and too often the result is a mean-spirited story with boring characters in boring situations (although I did enjoy the first few episodes).

This anime is a bit tricky to evaluate. It offers moments of genuine intrigue, but the overall package feels uneven, weighed down by some shallow elements that limit its potential. At its core, the premise plays with the familiar “what if Isekai tropes, but the main character is… different?” The protagonist, Sensei, a clear nod to Osamu Dazai, is thrust into the standard Isekai setup, summoned to another world and tasked with defeating the demon king. But unlike the typical hero, Sensei rejects the call to adventure, preferring instead to search for his lover Sacchan and chronicle the tragedies of those around him. This twist ... on the standard Isekai formula sets the stage for what could have been an insightful subversion of the genre. Yet, despite this interesting premise, the series never fully capitalizes on its potential.

While the idea of an anti hero refusing to save the world may seem fresh at first, it quickly becomes apparent that it isn’t as novel as the show seems to think. Sensei’s refusal to follow the heroic path has been done in other Isekai stories, and this anime doesn’t explore it in a way that feels particularly new or groundbreaking. It’s not a bad setup by any means, but the execution struggles to maintain momentum, particularly when the main character’s melancholic tendencies are played more as a recurring trope rather than something deeply meaningful.

That being said, there are glimpses of depth in Sensei’s character. His role as a writer who is fascinated by human suffering and tragedy adds layers beyond the typical “suicidal and nihilistic” persona. His desire to document the emotions and experiences of those he encounters hints at an underlying complexity that could have been explored more thoroughly. Unfortunately, the show’s shallow supporting cast often undermines these moments. Sensei’s journey largely revolves around fighting other Isekai adventurers, those who, after defeating the demon king, seek to seize power for themselves. These antagonists are cartoonish and one dimensional, making it difficult to feel invested in their conflicts or the world they inhabit.

Humor occasionally surfaces in the absurd interactions between Sensei and the world around him, but it’s not enough to save the show from its cast. The story only begins to show signs of life past the halfway mark, and even then, some of its attempts to introduce “gray morality” feel a bit clumsy and stilted. However, there are moments of genuine improvement towards the season's end, particularly with the final two Isekai adventurers the group confronts. These characters have more fleshed out backstories and motivations, adding some much needed texture to the narrative. Sensei’s unique ability to “record” their stories and offer them redemption by sending them back to their pre death lives on Earth provides a satisfying payoff. It’s in these moments that the show’s potential truly shines, exploring how people are changed by their experiences in this fantasy world, contemplating their regrets, and what it means to face their own mortality. This concept of redemption and reflection is where Isekai Shikkaku comes closest to realizing its thematic ambitions.

Ultimately, Isekai Shikkaku is a series that lives and dies by its characters and their stories. The uneven quality of the cast makes it hard to stay engaged initially, but there are interesting ideas buried beneath the surface. While the first half of the show is weighed down by shallow conflicts and repetitive character tropes, the latter half offers glimpses of the deeper narrative that could emerge in future seasons. If it can continue to develop its characters and lean into its darker, more introspective moments in the future, it may yet grow into something special.

'No Longer Allowed in Another World' appears to be another generic isekai, but it's more than that. It's a parody of the isekai genre.


§ Overview

The anime begins with Sensei, which is presumably Dazai Osamu, who is about to have a double suicide with his lover Sacchan. But before he can do so, truck-kun takes him to another world. He was summoned to defeat the evil lord, who unknown at that time was defeated earlier, but he would none of that. All he wants is to find Sacchan.

Later on, he learns that other worlders like Sensei are wreaking havoc and are worse than the evil ... lord.


§ Strengths and Weaknesses

Since the protagonist is Dazai Osamu, many were disappointed with this anime. Maybe they were expecting too much from him. I think Dazai Osamu was only used so this anime could have a suicidal and nihilistic character. Speaking of which, it rubs me the wrong way that he is suicidal and nihilistic, but that's just me. YMMV.

He is an effective character given the context of what the show is trying to do, but overall he is unlikeable. Perhaps I have somewhat of a liking for him because his seiyuu also voices Araragi.

The animation is pretty average, and this anime doesn't really require devoting resources to improve the animation given the story. Truck-kun is used too much ad nauseam.

It uses dark humour and I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea. It's unpleasant sometimes, but I do appreciate how it is trying to differentiate itself to other isekai.

Speaking of which, this is in the same vein as that other isekai parody called 'My Instant Death Ability Is So Overpowered.' That one is pure comedy and can be fun. This one can sometimes be funny, but there are moments of drama.

It is not totally different though. Sensei attracts different women to become part of his harem, although he is not interested. Thus, some standard isekai tropes are used but executed differently.


§ Conclusion

This anime is a parody of the isekai genre. It uses dark humour that can be funny but sometimes unpleasant. Although it tries to be different, you can't help but feel it's an average story, and we're not even considering its unpleasant subtext.

Maaaan what a banger of a show. If you're like me, you would have been both intrigued by the premise but also turned off because the concept of a suicidal main character in an isekai doesn't seem like much of a fun experience....and you and I would both be VERY wrong. The comedy hits every time, the animation is smooth and very appealing for the eyes, and the story is so damn good for an isekai it's actually insane. The backstories of the other worlders, the dialogue with Sensei and the others, the character development for the main character's crew, it all fits in so ... well with everything.

For a season of anime that I thought would be boring, there have seriously been a lot of unexpected hits rather than misses, and here's to hoping this trend continues.

(They better make a season 2 for this...)

It's almost unfortunate how mediocre the first few episodes are, the later half of the season gets some pretty great writing.

No Longer Allowed in Another World is about a suicidal protagonist based on a real life author, who gets transported to another world in a double-suicide, transporting both him and his partner to this world.

The first few episodes are about as "Isekai" as they get, I only stayed around because a protagonist who tries to kill himself several times an episode is an interesting concept, an enemy will die from poisoning by biting the protagonist because the protagonist overdoses on sedatives, he'll always unintentionally find ... a way to kill his enemies, before getting his real power at least.

The first few episodes make this feel like just any other Isekai with a funny concept, and the suicide novelty can really wear off on some people, you get tentacles and a catgirl in the first episode alone, so I can see why people just dropped it.

But I promise you, please continue watching, if you can find it in you, this is a Steins Gate / Madoka situation, and there is a reason this is being so highly praised this season.

Around episodes 4 to 5, the protagonist gains his power, and this is what the anime really is about, Other-Worlders.

The world building in this anime is actually pretty good, and the concept of the demon lord being killed so early on, and Other-Worlders who have succumbed to their own desires and using their "Isekai Powers" for evil is interesting.

However, the main novelty of this anime comes from the title itself, "No Longer Allowed in Another World" as the protagonist's main power is to send these other fucked up Isekai protagonists back to their own worlds by writing their stories.

This is where the phenomenal writing really shows itself, within one to two episodes, they really manage to wrap you into these other protagonists' stories and bring out a lot of emotions, if it's a disabled man who befriends a boy, who he can't defend when he's getting bullied, a girl who takes care of her terminally ill sister, having to skip high-school and her childhood life, all while being physically abused by her father, or if it's someone who was raised rich and so emotionless without problems that he just kills one of his maids to feel anything.

I'm not doing justice to how interesting these other protagonists' stories are. the anime translates that into the powers they get in this new world.

It is the job of the main protagonist, this depressed author who eats sedatives like they're Tictacs, to write the stories of these Other-Worlders and send them back to their world if they are causing too much trouble for this world, and the protagonist who is called "Sensei" unlike a lot of other Isekai protagonists, isn't focused on being a hero. His main goal is to commit double suicide with his partner. he sleeps in a coffin his party drags around while they're traveling, the main thing he takes an interest in, is other people's life stories, judging if they are worth making a novel into. Sensei isn't a bad person though, he'll often give advice and support to those around him, he's surprisingly sympathetic.

Sensei is more than just a comedic character, although a lot of the comedy comes from the dark humor of a suicidal protagonist, he genuinely offers some interesting thoughts and dialogue and becomes one of my favorite Isekai protagonists.

Some of these episodes, especially Eight and Eleven, have made me really glad this was one of the few anime I've chosen for my seasonals.

I wish I could speak further on how great this anime is, but I don't want to spoil it. if you give it a chance, you'll most likely find value in it, and at the very least, you'll resonate with the stories and emotions.

For such a straightforward anime with a weak main character, it's surprisingly good. It doesn't dive deep or get too complex, but it brings something totally fresh to the isekai table that you just don't see often.

It takes a bold step away from the typical isekai formula; where there are no overpowered characters here, no intricate magic systems, and no kingdoms to save. Instead, what "Isekai Shikkaku" offers is a unique slice of life perspective that just feels earnest.

What's most interesting about this anime is its ability to hold the audience's attention without relying on common tropes, but simple fresh humor. The protagonist isn't ... here to save the world or uncover hidden powers, but to navigate the peculiarities of life in another dimension, as a man whose only wish is to die, preferably with a lady.

Visually, the anime doesn't aim for flashy animation but opts for a more onsistent aesthetic that matches the tone of the story.

I can't believe I'm saying this, given how critical I've been of anime lately, but I'd actually give this one an 8/10.
What really caught my interest was how the story manages its protagonist, I always find myself questioning what he's going to do next.
He simply stands out through his personality and self-awareness, which he unintentionally uses to help out other characters and humorously defeat enemies that come into the story.

Isekai Shikkaku has a very bold plot with an anti-hero to top it off. First of all, I would like to tell you that this was inspired in the story "Ningen Shikkaku" by Dazai Osamu - this author committed a double suicide after writting this story. If you don't know the reference, then the anime seems very weird in the beginning... But if you know, then it will seem extra awesome! You can watch Ningen Shikkaku animated on the anime "Aoi Bungaku".

Now, our main character "Sensei" is a classic character from japanese literature, he's the post-war depressive bohemian author that is thrown into an isekai ... and given the mission to save the world! BUT it seems he's lacking any skill besides his poison immunity and the fact that he himself is poisonous (but only if someone tries to take a piece of him). He has no intent of being a hero, saving the world, or even staying alive. And yet, we have character development! The plot twist is that he actually has a skill that fits him perfectly and gives objetive to him and to the plot of this anime, making it awesome. Each episode we meet a new character, a plot gets solved, and the pacing is really fine!

This anime had such a bold main character that it could easily end up as a bad anime, but the author was really good at guiding the story properly! It's not extraordinary, but in general it's a good anime.

Plot: 8/10 - It's original and well developed.
Characters: 10/10 - Lots of characters that have their stories told properly.
Animation: 6/10 - Not a strong point for this anime, but the art style makes up for it!
Overall: 8/10 - a good watch!

Eh.
I picked this up because I was fascinated by the decision to put Dazai Osamu into an isekai anime. I'm a big fan of his works (listen, I literally named my cat after him. I have a Dazai Osamu jr in my home) but I'm a little picky about depictions of him (whatever Bungo Stray Dogs has going on is not my jam). The first few episodes made me nearly cry laughing. The character design, the way he carries himself, and the way he speaks really feels like the author is deeply, deeply invested in this man's life story. The concept itself is hilarious ... and the execution during the first few episodes really is top tier.

After episode 3, things kinda of get repetitive...to the extent that I am not sure if this is a show worth finishing.

The worldbuilding is cute but generic isekai garbage and the side characters are similarly generic isekai fare. The saving grace of the show is, well, the dude who wrote The Setting Sun is comic relief and his suicidal and self-deprecating tendencies are dialed up to reflect that. I did enjoy the insistence that the only thing that could prevent Dazai Osamu from actually dying is isekai antics, but not really much else beyond that.

As for the storyline...well. It's a story. There is a plot. There are definitely 12 episodes of content here. I had desperately hoped it would end completely in episode 12, but to my chagrin, more episodes are needed to wrap up all the little plot points introduced near the end.

If you want a little laugh, go for this one. If you have ever wondered what Dazai Osamu might be like in an isekai, go for this one. If you want something gripping and interesting...maybe pass on this one. Ultimately: it's fine.

The version of Dazai Osamu in this anime is really cute. Although he has the attribute of wanting to end his life, he’s quite awkward about it. When he’s truly needed, he acts like a real teacher, guiding everyone and providing help. This makes him one of the more interesting interpretations of Dazai among the many variations. The comedic elements of the story dilute his inherent sense of despair and gloom, enhancing its overall readability. Other characters feel a bit generic, but overall, it's a smooth story. I read the subsequent manga plot on mangajikan.com, and the main highlights of the anime compared to the ... manga are Dazai's otherworldly adventures, the restoration of the original delicate art style, and the voice acting by Hiroshi Kamiya. It’s rare to hear Kamiya use such a low, melancholic tone; compared to Mamoru Miyano’s portrayal of Dazai in "Bungo Stray Dogs," it's a completely different enjoyment.

First of all it is different and it is good, so basically it satisfies 2 most important aspects for any work of art.
It might not be for everyone, but the basic theme can be understood from short summary/intro to this anime. If you are bored MC's that are more or less identical or isekai story lines that does not bring anything new to the table - this might interested you. Though this might be a bit niche due to MC's character, but you should be able to tell from description or first episode if it is for you or not.
One more thing - dominant genre ... is comedy.

A non-thorough review on No Longer Allowed

I gave this anime a chance because I didn't have much to watch this season (Fall 2024 is stacked though), but I would say I enjoyed it. The writing was not particularly elaborate or impressive, but Sensei, the MC, has a comically depressed and suicidal nature which I find to be a nice breath of fresh air. As an author (more like a journalist), he does occasionally find motivation to study people who seem interesting, or to call people out for bullsh*t.

To be very blunt, there is not much to praise the anime for, and I'm sure many ... people might find Sensei more annoying than comedic. I did like the opening and ending songs, and I personally like Sensei's design a lot too.

If you just want to take a break from other anime and you seem interested in the main character, it wouldn't hurt to watch this 12-episoder. The writing is a bit awkward sometimes, and the characters often feel one dimensional. A few of the episodes might stand out as decent, but for the most part the show is mediocre. 8.2/10, I would watch a second season but I won't be surprised if it doesn't happen
