Bungo Stray Dogs Is Pure Art and Genius

- Season 5 of Bungo Stray Dogs is out. What’s no better way to talk about the previous 3 seasons!
Bungou Stray Dogs is something I didn’t think would be a series for me. Studio Bones is one of my favorite animation studios and they did a great job animating this show. They worked on Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood and Mob Psycho 100. So that leaves the question is this series as good as everyone claims it to be? Also considering that season 4 of Bungo Stray Dogs is out streaming on Crunchyroll, what no better way to take a look at the first 3 seasons! I promise I won't bore you, enjoy the video!
Yes this is a reupload cause the youtube gods struck me down
I mention the authors throughout the video and the books you should read from them. (Warning there are a lot of authors in this series)
Osamu Dazai- “No Longer Human” and “The Setting Sun”
Doppo Kunikida- “Selected Stories of Doppo Kunikida”
Link to "Selected Stories of Doppo Kunikida" on Amazon
Akiko Yosano- “From Summer to Autumn” collection of poetry
Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald- “Great Gatsby”
H.P Lovecraft- Any thing written by him but also consider that Lovecraft has some pretty harmful views of different groups of people

I still cannot understand how this gem is being overlooked. Its criminally underrated!:(
No sexy anime girls fan service + Almost no meme to promote at all (which I think nowadays plays a huge factor)
@santa hann we have dazai, that's all the fanservice we need
@@tristanmargellos2919 XDand the ultimate dazai~chuya combo🤌
Yeah it’s really hard to understand why its not as popular. But at the same time I have seen cosplays of BSD, so it must mean it has some kind of popularity, right? Then again I could be very wrong.
I know right?!!!
I always viewed his ability No Longer Human as a subconscious protection on him even if he doesn't want it. A reflection of his failed suicide attempts, they got "cancelled" or nullified. Similar to how, if any ability would kill him, it gets nullified.
Hm, to me, it always feels like he's trapped between life and death. It's a state, where he's neither dead nor really alive (enjoying life to the fullest, fully participating in it), but a shell of a human being, hence, No Longer Human.
Though, I do think it's more of a metaphor rather than a literal manifestation of his ability.
I also thought that No Longer Human turns Dazai's target back to their human state, but he loses his humanity.
Well the actual ability is kinda subconscious but he also
uses it on command. (SPOILERS)In the cannibalism Arc Yosano couldn't heal Dazai because his ability kept nullifying her ability to heal.
The literal translation of 'No Longer Human' is actually 'Disqualified as a Human Being', so I figured it was sort of like disqualifying- or cancelling- other abilities. (I know it's a bit of a stretch lol)
no because genuinely I've cried solely because of bsd writing taking yosanos and other female characters just as seriously as the male characters. I know it doesn't sound like a lot but I very rarely get to see that, especially in anime. The way they don't throw her to the side to be used in only fanservice. Like I don't know how to describe it but seeing a female characters in an anime be allowed to express anger in a human way is so refreshing. Like the way they let Yosano beat people up, and cuss is so therapeutic to me. LIKE YASS LET WOMEN BE VULGAR!!!! I don't know if I've described this well but I feel like other misogyny effected people understand reading this😭
I wholeheartedly agree! She’s so girl boss and I love her for it. Episode 8 of season 1 easily solidified her as one of my favourites.
Asagiri writes women so well, he's literally the best😭😭😭
I hate how underrated this series is. Not only has it changed me as a person, but it just makes me so very happy. My favorite thing this show does is make its characters genuinely horrifying in a way that doesn't feel cheap. Cough, Ace vs Fyodor, cough. I love the mind battles that happen between the characters who are smart in this show, and I love how we don't just get told that these characters are smart, we see that they are. I also enjoy the characters for not being afraid to be awful, I'm glad BSD doesn't pull the "Dazai's a main character? He's gotta be perfect, can do no wrong". No, he's done a lot of wrong, everyone in this show is a little screwed up, and it's so refreshing.
Hey, just wanted to suggest that you read Pandora Hearts, it’s an amazing series and it’s got some dark elements like BSD. It’s best to just go into it blind cause if you search it up online you’ll get major spoilers. Btw I love your pfp.
@@SkookieCat_Arts Hey! Thank you. I've actuallly heard a bit about Pandora Hearts but I can't say I know much about it. I'm feeling adventurous, I'll blindly take your recommendation and binge it sometime soon. Except me returning to this comment thread sometime to share my thoughts. I hope you have a great day.
Yeah I agree , I loved ace vs fyodor !! That solidified fyodor as my favorite character
It honestly taught me many life lessons and caused me to become more introspective about life
@@eve3455Take a look of Vanitas no carte too it's of the dame author of Pandora Heart's ;)
Yosano can’t heal someone if they’re dead. The criteria for her ability is that her patients have to be half dead.
Yes and no. They have to be close to death/ freshly dead. Spoilers ahead of ur not fought up to season 4.
She was able to kill the agency then heal them after one minute.
@@BlkMiku
No, I watched that scene. If someone is dead she cannot heal them. She didn’t kill them, she said that “the human body can stay alive for up to two minutes after the heart stops. And for the agency a near death wound is no wound at all.” So she didn’t kill them. They bled themselves on purpose to slow their intake of the gas. And in her backstory episode she tried to heal someone but they were already dead so her ability didn’t work.
Actually she can heal whenever she wants technically. But she decides to only use it near death
@@wasifl9387
Uh… where are you getting your info from? Look at the wiki for Yosano’s ability. It states, and I quote, “MY ABILITY, THOU SHALT NOT DIE, CAN HEAL ALL EXTERNAL WOUNDS. THAT APPLIES TO ME AS WELL. BUT IT COMES ON HARSH CONDITIONS, I CAN ONLY HEAL PEOPLE NEAR DEATH, WHICH IS OFTEN QUITE INCONVENIENT. AFTER ALL, IT MEANS IF I WANT TO HEAL NON-LETHAL WOUNDS, I MUST HALF-KILL THEM BEFORE IT EVEN WORKS.”
It’s why she always carries weapons around with her. She also states it multiple times in the show.
Hey you guys maybe it’s just a translational problem ^^ just an idea I watched the anime with english sub and I cannot remember her reviving people but there’s a lot of episodes and maybe I didn’t pay attention enough just saying ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
thank you for actually acknowledging the connections between the characters and the author’s works, not enough people acknowledge how well they’re demonstrated
Glad you enjoyed the vide0!!!
I'd love to see someone go more in depth about it! I knew some surface level stuff, like Dazai being suicidal is obviously a nod to the irl author's suicide, but I'm curious about the deeper connections playing out
@@himesilva Then I totally suggest reading No Longer Human! Unless you're already struggling with your mental health or just don't like dark books, because I've heard someone say that it made their mental state worse after reading it. It also has a lot of sexism (I'm not sure if it can be considered sexism because it's for the same reason some women say things like 'kill all men') later into the book, so you may be uncomfortable with that.
[SLIGHT SPOILERS]
The first notebook (first chapter) goes into detail about the main character's personality and how he sees the world- Which doesn't really connect to the anime until it starts talking about the character's "clowning"- joking around/ making a fool of himself to hide his actual personality and make others like him... Just like how the anime Dazai jokes around.
Sorry for giving a totally unnecessary response lol
@@himesilvaI can think of a few from the top of my head
Dazai and Chuuya call eachother 'mackerel' and 'slug' because while drunk IRL Chūya said that 'he looks like a blue mackerel floating in the sky' and the IRL Dazai called Chūya a slug once
Dazai and Chuuya are enemies because their IRL versions are
The real Oda, Dazai and Ango were in a writing group
The real Yosano was a huge feminist
IRL Ranpo idolised Poe so their roles are switched in the anime
IRL Dazai was obsessed with Akutagawa so their roles were switched in the anime
IRL Poe and Ranpo both wrote mystery novels
IRL Akutagawa idolised Kunikida (as portrayed in the BEAST)
⚠️SPOILERS⚠️ IRL Dazai barely had a reaction to Chūya's death as seen in Season 5
IRL Atsushi was always alone, that's why his anime version is scared of being alone
Elise is a character in one of Mori's books, that's why she is his ability
IRL Rimbaud and Verlaine were lovers, that's why they have such a close relationship in the anime
IRL Verlaine and Chūya wrote together once/sometimes
IRL Kōyō (Kouyou) was Kyōka's mentor, that's why Kouyou cares about her so much in the anime
IRL Dazai had three sudoku attempts, two were with a beautiful woman. That's why he's obsessed with double sudoku in the anime
⚠️Stormbringer Spoilers⚠️ IRL Verlaine came home and shot Rimbaud twice in the hand, that's why he did it in Stormbringer
IRL Kunikida had a quote about not focusing on ideals, but in the anime he lives for ideals
'IRL' Tanizaki and Naomi were lovers pretending to be siblings, that's why they have such a strange relationship
IRL Mori was a huge historical figure, that's why he's the leader of a huge organisation
IRL Fukuzawa was a huge historical figure as well, that's why he's the leader of a huge organisation
IRL Dazai was saved from dying from drowning in a river twice, that's why it happens twice in the anime
IRL Dazai was literally a woman magnet, that's why he's a womaniser in the anime
IRL Akutagawa had a lung disease so he does in the anime
IRL Mori and Yosano were in a writing group
IRL Dazai always tried to make others laugh to hide his depression
how do people just overlook how fucking genius bsd is. The second you get into it you cant escape, the characters feel so real and similar to you. You always end up going back because of how deep everything is and how relatable a lot of it can be. Going from their jokes to the amazing portrail of mental illness.
I love how some people actually appreciate BSD.
Makes me truly happy.
Also i love how someone is finally giving justice to Atsushi's character, for one time someone didn't just skip him or completely miss his character.
asagiri puts so much love into his characters, you can see how much he adores the works of these authors.. he sees the good things and the bad things about them and creates amazing characters that are so vastly different than what we are used to in anime, because their ideals and philosophies were once, a real humans ideals and philosophies. asagiri has so much fun creating these stories and it really shows, being able to create a whole series criticizing old literature and being able to communicate the messages that these books want to tell us just by making a person out of them, and sharing this series with thousands of people, it's obvious he's having a blast doing it, and i think that's one of the reasons loving all these characters is so easy, because the author also loves them so much.
Sadly though it’s pretty watered down because of shipping I have no issues with it but they just feel watered down because of people want to fit them into a narrative
As someone who hates reading and had never read a full chapter book before watching Bungo Stray Dogs, this anime got me to read over 10 full books in under a month.
finally a bsd video essay that's...good?? also the first time i've ever seen someone talk about how the characters' abilities relate to their life experiences and traumas
BSD has changed me, it’s changed my perspective on so many things and it’s such a work of art. I truly wish more people would watch it because it was such a hidden gem for me! + almost every character is likeable it’s just AMAZING!
This anime is literally a genius masterpiece!!!!!
Needs more love
Dasai can’t negate Lovecraft using No Longer Human. The implication of this being that Lovecrafts Great Old One form isn’t an ability it’s his inherent nature. Which is both hilarious and terrifying lol.
This is the most beautiful and complex anime series to ever exists and people continue to let it go unnoticed. I hope it continued to gain popularity
This series is so criminally underrated
Yup! Hopefully this video gets pushed out to new viewers lol
15:46 "i feel like new viewers who watch this show will come out being more appreciative of literature"
This!! That is extremely true. Because of school and stereotypes i had on the classical literature of the 20th century moslty, i never was in it. Yet after bungou stray dogs, who also became one of my favorite show, i started buying books from the real authors of my favorite characters, like Dazai Osamu and "No longer human" which quickly actually became my favorite book i have ever read, making me read more books from him, but also Nakahara Chuuya, Fyodor Dostoyevsky and more... even just famous authors in the western side of the world like Edgar Allan Poe or Verlaine, i started to actively read it and come to love the books and appreciate them from what they were. And it might seem silly, but just a show relating past authors by the name of the abilities and characters truly changed my view on literature. (Aside from the show actually changing who i am as a person, strangly it helped me gain in maturity and i wouldn't be able to understand why.)
Less related but i could also write a whole essay about how well mental health in bungou stray dogs is portayed especially in the manga and light novels.
(Sorry about any mistakes, english is not my mother tongue)
This show made me a lot more interested in more mature stories that tackle alot of social issues! Glad that BSD made you more enlightened of the world!!
I remember going to the book store to get a piece of Nikolai Gogol, because of the series.
It got me into a nice conversation with one of the store owners because she asked "if it was for Studying, since it is rare to see youn people buying such literature"
So I explained to her the whole deal with Bungou Stray Dogs and TOGETHER we went downstairs to the "comic" section so she could get a hold of the first five manga.
I really hope she got the hang of it.
This anime is a personal favorite of mine, so I really appreciated the analysis! It honestly made me want to seek out some of the books and authors being referenced.
Hey, it’s an anime that makes you want to read 😁
been a fan for almost 2 years and I have a shelf of literary works and BSD books
✨no regretssss✨
I have no words to describe how great Bungou is. It starts small and funny and has its own low pace, and sometimes you dont know why something is happening or where is the plot taking you, but in the longs run it is sooo worth it. As an anime viewer that became a Manga reader when I realized how long it had been since season 3 I was in shock when going through the story and realizing how dark ad brutal the recent chapters work. The plot of Bungou itself reminds me a lot of Dazai - It has this facade of humor and nonsense but had this deep hidden brutality and pain and poetry and philosofy in every quote and situation and character, specially if you read the novels. And the best thing is that its rare to find a character that is plain or cliche.
It really does suck your original video got taken down. Currently watching season 4 and I gotta say its a great season. Great video btw, i never mentioned how awesome your original video was
It’s all good. That’s the life of CZcams. Videos get taken down. It’s rough and sucks but It won’t stop me from talking about series I love 😁
[i am a manga reader and I'm writing this throughout the video haha so prepare yourself for a long thing ;} ]
I think someone already mentioned it but Yosano's ability isn't only on dead people, if a person has been dead for a minute it could heal them just like it can heal a seriously injured person.
And actually, people with abilities have them since they are born, so Atsushi has his ability since his birth ;).
And Kunikida can use his ability with any book, as long as it's empty ;)
Also, inside season 1, there is the depiction of a light novel, more specifically the case of the blue terrorist (idk his name), but in the light novel, Atsushi is not there because normally, the name of the light novel is literally "Dazai's entrance exam".
And for the whole plot of the abilities, they actually are inspired by the books written by authors such as Dazaï and no longer human, Chuuya and For the tainted sorrow and Francis with the Great Gatsby.
I also want to say that it's not a world in white and black, it's not just a bit of gray, it's a world painted in all shades of gray, because no one is really good or really bad if you know what I mean?
The video was great, i really enjoy it 💜
Also, before you start the manga, i think that reading the lights novels will be to your liking because they are important, let me list them for you ;)
[there are some that I haven't read yet but that's not the reason haha]
We have:
Dazai's entrance exam
Dark Era [with Odasaku| animated in early season two]
The Untold Story Of Detective Agency [animated in early season four]
55 minutes (an investigation on the side of the OG story)
Dead Apple (animated movie ;} )
We have Beast
[an Alternative Universe where Dazaï is the PM Boss, Atsushi is the Port Mafia's White Reaper and Akutagawa is a new member of the ADA under Oda, who search for his sister]
Fifteen
[Animated in early season 3]
Stormbringer
[ It's actually Chuuya's backstory and damn, I have never cried so much as when I read this light novel]
And we have Gaiden, which is the light novel where we see other people instead of PM/ADA members ;) like Ango, Ayatsuji etc...
And that's the end, thanks for listening [reading] me 💜
Thank you 😄
@@DecafisHere don't worry, still happy to help a fellow BSD fan ;)
@@ran_mei right there with you about Storm Bringer 😭
@@benjaminnebenjamin6033 this shit hurts so much fr
Finally someone who actually know about this anime, it's hard to find people like you! And an excellent job at explaining the story (i could not :'). Sorry about your original video getting copyrighted.
I know right?!!!!
BSD is like free therapy for me like oh my god I love it so much
I always say why go to therapy when I can just watch anime 😂
Why is this anime not that popular 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 its one of the best ones out there
Im so happy my favourite criminally underrated anime is being told to people
It is one of the best shows of all time. It's so different. Taking on the same principles of other shows and creating something so fresh out of it. And there is no way you won't get super attached to the characters lol. Great video! I hope this anime gets the recognition it deserves ❤
Couldn't agree more!
I absolutely love this anime. I cannot believe that I overlooked this anime before, but now I watched it, and I got super addicted to it. I can't imagine my life without this anime.
The manga and light novels of this series just give so much depth into all the characters. The anime uptil season 3 had not even revealed the actual plot of the series (the book) but after getting in depth of all the media of this series made this my favourite anime
Bungo stray dogs will ALWAYS stay my fav anime and I hope one day I'll be able to write smth as great at this
like srsly this series needs more recognition
literally bsd is the only anime that got me interested to read novel
Everybody is talking about BSD being underrated but YOU my sir are FAAARR more underrated
Lmao thank you
I'm sorry your original video got taken down. I actually found your channel because of that vid. I'll make sure to rewatch this one later when I find the time.
Love your videos! Hope you have fun making more :)
Thank you for commenting 😁. It’s great you enjoy my videos
I've been ignoring this series for years and I always wondered why fandom is thriving even its not famous, then I gave a try one day, season 1 is kinda okay but boring i keep watching coz the ending song is nice, and then there's season2, this is where i got hooked on this anime. Currently waiting for Season 5.
I recommended this show to my friends and they said the exact same
*exact same thing
A great overall review about not only characters, you summed the whole world up pretty well !!! The changing atmospheres, the environment that influenced them specially, their psychologic state and views, intentions of the autors, animation influence, music. I would say the best review anyone ever made of BSD's. I agree, that season 2 is far better, but i guess the reason we are so fascinated with this season is the great introduction of every single character in season 1 as a (maybe sometimes boring) but very important base for the series. For me, Odas and Dazais Backstory is the Peak of Anime History. It touched my heart and left a huge scar, like maybe A silent voice.
Hi again! Sorry for the re-upload the video got taken down last night so I had to re-edit this video and upload it sooner than later. Hope you enjoy!
And for visual symbolism with Odasaku: After telling Dazai to choose the side of good if both sides are the same, his arm goes limp, taking Dazai's eye bandage with it, quite literally opening his eyes to the truth he needed to be shown
I could go on and on about the characters because all of them are immensely well written and VERY attractive but honestly I think this show is beautiful because it keeps telling us a message that everyone deserves to live- no matter what. People can make mistakes, but people can learn and change from them and that is the beauty of humanity. You don't have to be perfect, you don't have to do anything to be granted permission to live- you create your own purpose! I really can't believe that an anime can be this inspiring :>
Great video! I adore bsd for the complexity it represents. Especially with the characters, who are often faced with difficult choices and their own weaknesses. And they feel so human in response to that...
Spread more knowledge about the CORE of bsd everyone. It's not just hot characters, it's a really valuble story.
Thank you for creating this ❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
This anime is so overlooked and yet it’s such a masterpiece 😭😭 also AMAZING VIDEO!! I watched other videos analysing bsd and yet they get a lot of information wrong but everything in this was completely right. Thank you for watching the anime, it truly is my most favourite anime 😩😩🤞
Bungo Stray Dogs never leaves me unsatisfied every episode, that's just how good the anime is, for me.
When I saw that this show was getting a fourth season, I decided I’d finally bite the bullet and binge the first three seasons. I had a good time with the series up to that point, though beyond its characters, I can’t say that it really wowed me over those seasons. I did enjoy the second and third season more than the first, though I think it’s the context of the first few episodes of each season that really distinguished them (as well as a couple of others). It was that context that kept me going, a sense that these characters were still developing and we were still not at their best.
Season 4 blew me away. It’s still among my favorites from this year and it’s a stacked year for anime. Can hardly wait for S5 to air this summer. I appreciate the additional context, and I’ll be looking for more literary references going forward.
Thank you for putting sm thought and research into this video! As someone who loves bsd with my literal whole heart, it's really refreshing to see someone really carefully listen and put some thought into this series. I agree with a lot of your points you've made that I've seen very much overlooked even by big fans
I will say though, the only thing I have to really say is your point about their abilities. Their abilities are way more inspired by their real author's works more than their character story. Like Atsushi is a weretiger only because his real life counterpart wrote a story about it. His tiger also having regenerative abilities, I assume it's like that just because his tiger is so powerful
Other than that, I really love some of the things you've pointed out! Like how you really need to pay attention and really sit with the series to understand its message. And how it's such a slow start, but it all pays off in telling the character's and plot's story. And how no character is purely "good" or "bad" because every character has their own reasons and beliefs in thinking the things they believe is "correct". It's all gray and because of that, it's really hard to definitely call a character "evil". Bsd isn't an anime you can just sit down and expect some action. If you just want that, you might be disappointed because it has so much more to tell in its nuance
The only real problem I have with it is the anime actually. I love the anime so much, but the original bsd manga and novel series do SUCH a better job in not only pacing, but understanding its characters. Often times with the anime, I find it overly-dramatizing its scenes and characters. It's especially clear with Dazai. In the manga, I feel he feels so much more human compared to the anime, which characterizes him to be much more "dark" and "mysterious". He is that, but there's so much more to his character than just that and I don't think Bones did the best job showing that. If you read the original age 15 novel the 1st part of season 3 adapted, you can see Dazai had so much more emotion and acted so much more like a teen than what the anime showed. And that makes sense because he literally is a teen LMAO. It's just kind of upsetting seeing him characterized so poorly in the anime
Other than that, great video and thank you so much in taking your time to understand such an amazing series
Thank you so much for covering this! I LOVED this essay and this video is amazing! Thank you so much. 🙏🏻♥️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Mate this was so dope!! Tysm for doing thiss! The analysis was perfect, I bloody loved it! It made my day so much seeing this, so ttyy‼️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Season 4 just finished and DANG! It's somehow even better than Season 3 and I didn't think that was possible
as a manga readerTRUST ME IT IS SO GETTING EVEN BETTER !!
@@chichichi5321 NANIII!!!
this video is very amazing and lead me into buying like all of their books which lead me into actually reading since i NEVER read but bsd kinda forced me to read- and i kinda hyperfix on bsd and binge read the whole manga in one night and binge watched the anime atleast 2 or 3 times-
I LOVE THIS VIDEO SM OMG
Video essays like this make me so emotional idk why😭😭
That’s the point 🫡
This is one hyperfixation I hope never to loose, I heard season 6 is far away and I only started a bit before season 4. I love this show and it is so much to me, it made me read books for once with enjoyment, those being the light novels. It is a great show and people over look it. But it did win the best anime of summer 2023 so that's nice.
great video!!! this masterpiece is so good but so underrated...
This anime is so damn underrated and for no reason cause it’s actually so good 😭😭🤍
Thanks for saying this to my favourite anime :)
Amazing video. Thank you
I love anime so much. Theres something so beautifull about the art of the media thats so fun making it superior to any live action.
Bungou Stray Dogs is one of the most memorable serises i've ever seen, a true masterpice.
Damn this shit was good! Awesome video man, I’ve been a fan of bsd since the first season and thinking about it in a new perspective is awesome, I’ve only read no longer human as it’s pretty short and kept my attention but I kinda wanna read a few of the others now ( and I HATE reading so w to you
this video genuinely made me cry
In a good way or a bad way 😶
This kind of gang shows are usually hard for me to get into, like in durarara, it took me 7-8 episodes to be rlly into it. For bsd, around the start of season 3 and or the last episode of season 1 then it got back to exposition after that. But the wait and patience is definitely worth it.
Exactly
Truly goated series , I love this anime and on a side note the artstyle of the anime is so appealing and characters look so good !!
My favorite manga
I love the fact that even some novels are adapted in the anime
I currently cant get enough of this series, im fully caught up with the anime and manga and ive currently purchased the bsd beast manga and some light novels. I will be getting more
If you havent read the side stories and you enjoy this show. Do it, you wont regret
I plan on reading the light novels and then the manga!
The environments they grew up in dont really have that much of an effect on their abilities. The “BEAST” manga, an official bungo stray dogs spin off, proves that. in BEAST atsushi is recruited into the port mafia and becomes dangerous and unhinged antagonist while akutagawa gets recruited into the detective agency and becomes kind hearted.
haven't completed the vid yet, but i think they are born with their powers and the orphanage knew about his white tiger ability and they only abused him and not the other children there. so he doesn't lose control they abuse him without realizing that it will make it more likely to lose control and kill others =>
I've never seen a more underrated anime. It should be in place of the big hits
I was listening to this video while working on something then I heard the land of the lustrous music in the background and did a double take. Bsd and land of the lustrous? You sir, are based asf.
Love the vid, you explain well bro
OH I LOVE LAND OF THE LUSTROUS! if you like this video, you should go watch my Land of the Lustrous video!!! Glad you enjoyed the video and my use of land of the lustrous music :)
@@DecafisHere I've seen it, and I really enjoyed it! Love your vids!
Yeha bsd is a great show. It keeps getting better with every season, can't wait for season 5 this summer
I really love BSD. Everything is cool in that anime.
Heyo! I'm someone who is also fairly interested in researching the references between the fictional characters of Bungou Stray Dogs and real life. While I've only actually read No Longer Human (as I don't have the time to read full novels right now), I am collecting the books wherever possible, including titles by Ranpo, Edgar, Akutagawa, Atsushi, Fyodor, even the more obscure characters like Herman, H. G. Wells, and while I'm aware that they are not a BSD character, Franz Kafka (due to their name aiding Kafka Asagiris' pseudonym name). While there's already lots of information online, especially on the BSD Wiki, if you're ever wanting to create a video about the references I might be able to point out a few more that are rarely considered
excited for the eight hour monster video
Thank you
Bungo Stray Dogs is sooo underratted TT, its so hard to find people in real life to talk about this to
Good takes 👏
I am literally listing all the authors and their books i can find while reading bsd, its so interesting. Like i found out that naomi and tanizawa are indeed not siblings i dont know why they cosplay as siblings in bsd. Like tanizawa is the author and he wrote the book 'naomi' which is about tanizawa having a crush on naomi nd them turning into lovers 😭😭
this guy makes a good point
I recommend reading Rashōmon. It's a short story that explores the morality of crime done to survive. It's also by the namesake of Akutagawa.
This anime is an amazing one it’s been my favourite even since I’ve watched it.
I love BSD wholeheartedly 😭
one thing i noticed is that you said atushi andit spronounced at sushi but i really like the video :3
i love bungo stray dogs so much🙂
The way that betray mental health issues was so good
I watch it this anime its on my top 3 now im going to read the manga
I've been wanting to watch this anime. I even watched the first episode on youtube, but I can't seem to find a website that is semi-free that shows them. I just don't want an anime watching website that you have to pay extra, like premium to get access to some of the episodes. This anime seems so interesting, so cool, and so entertaining. Does anyone know a website I can watch this one?
Also random thing for genshin fans: Atushi is voiced by max Mittleman, who voices Itto
BSD es realmente hermoso 🤧
Underrated af.
I have been watching this show for over a year now, and I love this series so much. I like the fandom where it is, not toxic, not huge, and yet so kind. (This is a little selfish on my part, but -) I hope it doesn’t get too popular. The fandoms ruin everything all the time. (MHA), And I don't want that to happen to bungo stray dogs :(
thanks for feeding my adhd hyperfixation nhakekaajea
your voice reminds me of rampo omg
Wow that’s the nicest thing i have seen all day
I recommend the manga too since bones skipped alot of stuff😓
Yeah I plan on making a video on the BSD manga!!
3:57 you know you're a fan when you simply laugh at this savage line 🤣🤣🤣🤣
0:09 all right I’ve never watched it convince me
I tell you guys first three episodes I was thinking 'what type of trash is this' and the deeper you get into it the more the story unfolds and really EVERYTHING starts to make sense! I love detective stories in anime/manga so this is really my thing here haha
My favorite!! 🎉❤
Just watched season 4 and I thought this came out in like 2013 I remember when I got into anime this came out around the same time might just me season 5 is going to come out so that’s good I though it was a standard anime the villains where ok but the guy with the white hat was a grate villain and the 5 death Angela where good to caricature where good to but I wish everyone got a back story or just flesh out there caricatures like the main didn’t get a conclusion per say to his back story because we didn’t get to see why they hated him everything else is pretty good also it gets really dark some times like a lot of kids die in this good anime tho 8/10
Historical figures fighting each other? Where have I seen this before...
