Differences between Novel/Manga!Dazai and Anime!Dazai

(A re-upload because tumblr did not want to show this post in the tags no matter what I did. I’m very sorry if it’s inconvenient for my followers! I hope this will work!)

This analysis is an expansion to this post -> (along-came-atsushi.tumblr.com/post/190387561311) I made a while ago, to which @shin-hakuryu​​​ asked, if I could give some examples. So, I decided to turn this into its own post.

I’m aware that every anime episode has its time limit and needs to highlight certain scenes more than others, so that it’s still exciting to watch for the viewer. It’s a different kind of storytelling than the storytelling in a manga or a novel. I’m also aware that the animators need to leave out some things in order to highlight others.

Please note that the following are just some examples of scenes and quotes from the manga and novels, as I haven’t read all of the novels until now, and listing all differences would be way too long.
