Average start, nothing too interesting at first to be honest other than the overall concept which is still pretty vague.

I liked this one, because idiotic characters and their dumb jokes entertain me usually. Nothing special so far, so let's see how it goes in the upcoming eps.

Very nice first episode. Good class animation. I aalso like the characters, especially the suicidal maniac. He is a very great detective.

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

Wow! This was excellent! The animation, the OST, the characters and their designs, the concept, I love it. It's kind of like a weird combo of Durarara, Kekkai Sensen, Darker than Black and Ouran Host High School Club (lol).

yeah i was getting drrr vibes off of this as well. and now that you mentioned kekkai sensen yeah that as well.

Reeks of generic shonen especially with that typical shonen comedy, I expected a more mature approach when I read the synopsis, oh well.

tbh unfortunately.

Simulacra5202 said:
After reading "No Longer Human" by Osamu Dazai a few months ago, and then finding a character loosely based on both the novel and author, I had to find it ironic. Early on in No Longer Human, the main character commits a double suicide with a women who he had slept with and further discovered they shared the same/similar distaste for life. Most ironically they jump off a cliff together, she dies he survives, and now theres finally an alternative ending to that first book in No Longer Human. He was rescued by the author Atsushi Nakajima! So thats what happened! tehehe : )
Anyways I'm looking forward to this series, this and mayoiga will definitely suit my tastes.

what a very interesting book.

i hate false advertising which is the same as lying. the trailer promised something serious and we barely get any of that here. the MC's age is extremely vauge in my opinion but i'm guessing he's 17-18 because of his body type and that he was in an orphanage. comedy threw me off completely and it's getting close to grating at this point. all the agents "happening" to be together at the same time was way too cheesy lol. OP is meh anf ED is gay af, that can't be a good sign. although i did like how they shoved both songs into the episode.
Apr 24, 2018 6:38 AM
The comedy is a bit forced but nevermind. I'm glad that i like the characters. Atsuhi seems too generic yet Dazai is much better. 3/5

I was so wrong about this series, I thought that Atsushi was a super serious and brooding protagonist but I was proven wrong in the first two minutes LOL.

Really enjoyed the art style and the expressions make it 10x funnier! It seems a bit reminiscent of Soul Eater.

A lot of the literary references flew over my head, oof.

Really good first episode, it is my guess this is the kind of thing I can expect from this series.
Seems like I will have quite some fun with this one, Bones animation and budget was everywhere too~~

I put off watching this show for a while, because I am opposed to the idea of suicide as a central theme to an animated show. Also, there far too few signs of action. Now that I've seen what the show can be hopefully it turns out well.

The high quality animation of the late 2010s really makes watching the show a bit more bearable. Sadly, it will probably be forgotten along with the likes of soul eater and blue exorcist.

I was in the same boat, but Dazai's suicidal tendencies are kinda funny, well written, and weirdly light-hearted

White tiger is pretty badass sure but it's kinda lame that he has to transform before he can do some flashy shit. He has to have some other abilities

Ughh!! I already love this series to death!! I hate how it took me so long to get into it. Lol I can't believe this is seinen with the lighthearted comedic appeal. I wish shoujo/josei had anime like this. I freakin love the characters. And Studio Bones did an amazing job on the animation.

I really enjoyed this first episode. It was a nice surprise that Atsushi is actually the tiger and all the characters seem unique and interesting, I can't wait to learn more about them. I am very excited to get to know more about Dazai and why he tried to commit.

I like this anime so far, but I don't like that the suicidal tendencies are kind of used as a joke... it's far from funny when someone romanticizes suicide. this is kind of the only reason why I don't want to continue watching this anime, but knowing myself - I will continue to see it. A season 4 is planned for this anime and I want to have seen all 3 seasons before it airs, so yeah.

While it is used for comedy, it's mainly a reference to real life Dazai Osamu, his troubled life and many failed suicide attempts.. It will be way less prominent in s2 and s3, only in flashbacks about him, although waaay more depressing than comedic.. In my experience many people who struggle with those sort of thoughts tend to joke about it cus it makes it easier to reach out to others that way.. But if those things make u uncomfortable, I would suggest not to watch it

Pretty fun 1st episode, I especially like the parallel between this Osamu Dazai and his real life self xD MC has a tiger power that he can't control but he's gonna join the agency of detectives that have all a power like that, it's gonna be interesting.

S4 is about to air next season so good time to start this franchise and all I can say, Takuya Igaaaraaaaaashiiiiiii

Surprising for Bones to not focus much on the action and instead keep the character models consistent. Amazing shots, great use of lighting along with classic Igarashi faces made this an absolute delight to watch.

ED unfortunately seems like one of Umetsu's weaker works.
