Anime doesn't get much better than this.

Let's turn this bait thread into a proper Aoi Bungaku thread. I think Run! Melos is the best of the lot. This series also helped with spotting literary name dropping in last season's Tsuki ga Kirei.

Fuck me, I almost thought that was Death Note. My mind must be deteriorating.

How is this bait? Anime gets better than Aoi Bungaku, but not Much better.

That looks exactly like light yagami but with the saturation turned down. Though all anime protagonists that follow his template look like the same person.

Apologies then, the OP was so devoid of content that I assumed he was just baiting for a fight. I do like this anime a lot.

Did this anime inspire anyone to read the stories, in Japanese or in translation?

Only The Spider's Thread

I read Kokoro, it's fucking amazing.

Friendly reminder that OST never.

No Longer Human fucked me up and introduced me to Dazai's work.

Run Melos is my favourite thougj.

Yes I read 人間失格(No longer human) after watching this

I still dont understand what happened in In the Forest, am I retarded ?

I read No Longer Human, hell Screen and Spider's Thread. I actually read a lot of Akutagawa's work, I really liked them.

I'd love to read Run Melos, but I couldn't find a translation of it.

It was pretty much garbage because of how bad the adaptions are. Only Run Melos was decent.

Run Melos > Kokoro > No Longer Human > Hell Screen > The Spider's Thread > In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom

I'm not too sure about what I was supposed to get out of it either.
