[Of course, the hard part is that there is so much Dazai in all of BSD that it's hard for Atsushi to watch it and not compare the Dazai he knows to this Dazai on tv. Sorry Inaba, he's talking during the show.]

He's...nicer. This one, in the show. Dazai-san was never outright mean, but he wasn't exactly 'nice' either. And his smiles were always fake. This one seems a little more genuine.

[And then eventually Akutagawa shows up, and Atsushi grimaces.]

Ah. So he's more violent like this, then. I guess it's good he found a way to mellow out in my world, he was intense enough already.
