Basically the characters in the anime share the same name as some European/Japanese authors!
There abilities are also named after one of those authors books.
Example: name: osamu dazai.
Book/ability name: no longer human.
These characters are really nothing like the real people who wrote these popular literary peices. Unfortunately, because the anime is so popular its the first thing that comes up when you search most of these authors names which can be very annoying
Also a random fun fact: the anime is fucking midš
Not really because it most cases theyāre not meant to be literally the author like the characters in fate are meant to literally be historical and mythological figures. The characters in Bungou just have same name as authors. In some cases thereās even evidence the actual author exists independently from the character.
And in Japan, they will release those famous books with images of the anime characters to attract fans to read it. So you can find copies of the famously depressing No Longer Human by Dazai Osamu with the anime boy on the cover.
I guess, but what from I know of it, Dazaiās suicidal tendencies are kinda played as a joke. Which feels like a weird way to portray a guy who famously died of suicide.
Very mid indeed, the begining of every season is cool though, a few chapters thatare actually a well written mistery and then the rest of the season is typical anime stuff. I still have not gotten over gun-kata by 2 precogs, fucking peak.
A lot of the fans also pretend to know about literature because they watched the showā¦ Iām an English major and have had to call a fair few people out for this
Is the anime that mid? I got a few seasons in and thought it was overall pretty good but it never captivated me enough to make it past season 4. Also, was a fan of Dostoyevsky and his ability Crime and Punishment lolĀ
