So this show bothers me fairly greatly on some level due to the changing of a major historical event (major in terms of this show's characters, that is). For those curious
Isekai Shikkaku episode 1
If you're going to incorporate the death of a historical figure into an isekai, at least let them die in the same manner in which they really did die. Nothing good comes of just some random truck popping into the scene.RL to manga/anime adaptation changes
The problem is one of motivation - IRL Dazai got what he wanted and tried multiple times, a double suicide; Isekai Shikkaku Sensei didn't, due to truck-kun, and that is why he's still trying. If his fate was the same as IRL Dazai, and he got transported after death to isekai, he'd stop trying to kill himself.And given that truck-kun is highly unrealistic, thus the audience is expected to know that it's bullshit, we can safely interpret it as a "what if Dazai was transported to another world, instead of succeeding on his last suicide attempt?".
Fair enough. I didn't really think too much about it. But I'd also argue that
Isekai Shikkaku episode 1
He didn't want to live in any world, presumably. So maybe he ends up killing himself as intended, but as opposed to going to whatever afterlife he believed in, he ends up in the other world, and thus wants to kill himself a second time? That's another possible plot, no?
