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 ...

This film is just the first arc from Aoi Bungaku, comprising the events of the book "No Longer Human", compiled into movie form. In this form, it won the Platinum Grand Prize at an Italian film festival. From what I have seen it seems like there is almost no sign of any difference between the series version and movie version except the ED being spliced out for obvious reasons, so you could just watch the first arc and rate this instead. As for my own opinion, this arc was fantastic. If there's any part of Aoi Bungaku you watch, make it this one.
