Synopsis

Famous writers throughout history find themselves being reincarnated by a mysterious, unseen entity known as the Alchemist. With their souls confined and bound to an expansive library, they are tasked by the Alchemist to jump into books to purify the pages of monsters called Taints. Along the way, they must also rescue and recruit fellow authors trapped within the very stories they themselves had written. Although the writers take on new and powerful forms for this endeavor, some still maintain a semblance of who they once were, while others struggle to remember their pasts and the works they had penned. Despite there being no apparent end to their grand mission, they remain committed to the cause in hope of resolving the mystery behind their collective resurrection as well as questions that have haunted their former lives.

It's definitely not an anime for those who are used to generic works that the industry has produced. The low number of reviews x the low rates that the anime has received shows how much of the audience only watched a few moments of the show, did not understand the narrative proposal and took their judgment. It's a pity to see something a bit out of the box being rejected immediately But for those who want a different experience, who are moved by the act of writing or creative production, just watch. This anime has definitely made my day's moments a lot more comfortable. -English is obviously notmy native language Definitivamente não é um anime pra quem está acostumado com obras genéricas que industria tem produzido O baixo número de reviews x As notas que o anime tem recebido, mostra o como boa parte dos expectadores apenas assistiram alguns momentos do show, não entenderam a proposta da narrativa e tomaram seu julgamento. É uma pena enorme ver uma proposta fora do eixo ser rejeitada imediatamente Mas pros que querem uma experiência diferente, que se sentem movidos pelo ato da escrita ou produção criativa, vejam. O anime definitivamente tem feito os momentos do meu dia serem muito mais confortáveis.

A good anime that isn't for everyone. I found it very disappointing to see such low scores as 3 and 4... because imo the characters and animation itself are very well done. I have read few works and my bachelor degree was about Dazai Osamu, that's why I was very excited to see that he was in the main cast and I found the portraying done extremely well! The stories which were taken from works are shown shorty and with main point. This anime made me remember all of the authors and works I have read and made want to read it again, that's whyfor me this anime reached it main purpose. I think the way it revived japanese literature is fine! Colorful animation and great seiyuus is a pleasant bonus. The only minus here is story because we never got to see alchemist himself and storytelling about saving literature was a little bit confusing. Also, never got fully explain how their world work, only few phrases covered that. The only thing I would justify is why there were two Akutagawas - I think the writers referred to Akutagawa having hallucinations at his late years. But overall for me it was a good anime and I enjoyed it!
