A detail you overlooked is that Chuuya's voice actor is the singer of the first and third op. Pretty neat if would say so myself.

[@oswinaltava]

he doesn't do the second opening, he does the third and the one for the movie - but fun fact, tachihara's voice actor does the second opening!

[@laylahawkins4873]

I was wondering if he knew that as well so I looked in the comments about it. Glad I checked though

[@benjaminnebenjamin6033]

when i got to the episode when Chuuya was first introduced, i knew it was the same voice ive been hearing through the opening song

Pro tip for watching this anime: Prepare a drinking game for every time the main character has a tragic flashback. Makes the anime twice as good!

Me rewatching it and showing it to my sister made me realise all the flashbacks to the point "You good for nothing" became an inside joke and one i would call out before the Atsushi flashback happens, it was great ahahahaha

I wouldn't call it Atsushi's flashback after the first episode. it's his trauma being visualized, that's why its the same every time it appears.

[@sakazu2576]

The abilities in Bungo Stray Dogs are based off of books the actual authors that the characters are based on wrote. Honestly that fact makes me love the anime as a literature nerd

[@925263]

This becomes easier to see in seasons 2 and 3, where there are international characters. Let's face it, most people outside of Japan don't learn anything about their literature.

Whats interesting about the anime is how much literate references it has. For example Dazai trying to kill himself comes from the author attempting it several times and the "brother sister" comes from a book where 2 people treated each other like that along with saying they dont look alike implying no blood relation without explaining much else.

[@artay4320]

What did you expect from the anime where each character has its real life counterpart as an author? xd

[@kuroganekaze]

Even him wanting to kill himself with someone, because iirc the real Dazai ended up killing himself together with his wife (or girlfriend).

Very underrated anime thanks for doing a video about this hidden masterpiece

[@challengingfire8747]

I agree it's way too underrated it's such a good anime

[@Orionis_Delta]

I just want to point out that I love how Dazai’s voice, eyes and demeanor change depending on the situation he’s in. With the agency, he’s the dorky partner who always likes to mess around with Kuni and doesn’t take work as seriously as he should. He has this carefree attitude and eyes with shine in them that emphasize this a bit. But then you stumble across “serious business” Dazai. His voice is deeper and more devoid of emotion, his eyes lose shine and he is a lot more merciless and cruel when he needs to. And it’s scary. And even though I’m used to the “Series Buffoon is actually the strongest guy in the series” trope, it still surprises me and amuses me even now.

[@bizarresilver]

I was way too happy to see this anime covered here. You're one of my favourite youtubers honestly my guy, I love the way you cover things so extensively and parts I always wish others would cover! I'm not financially stable right now, but when I'm able to you'd better believe I'll become a patreon supporter without doubt.

[@AnimeWins]

Legend and ty so much for the comment

[@andrewbooth6372]

@@AnimeWins Will there be another review since there has been a second season?

[@tbush6657]

This is based off a Manga and Light Novel series where the Manga is set in current day following Atsushi and goofy Dazai, while the LN is in the past, following Serious, ruthless Dazai as he works for the PM, and eventually evolves to who and where he is today, while giving backstory to other characters. The Azure Messenger arc took place in the LN right after Dazai joined the ADA, serving as character backstory for Kunikida and development for Dazai going from ruthless Port Mafia to goody detective. He only left the Mafia a few months ago so you can still see how serious and ruthless he is when the taxi gets shot up, and when he gives the kid the gun to shoot her. The only big difference with this arc is Atsushi is in the background not really doing anything and witness Dazai be serious and dark, but still not affect his view of him since they need to still follow the Manga, where he was never present for this event that took place years prior to him joining ADA. I think they didn't know what to do with these Dazai arcs when making the first season since S2 and 3 start off with Dazai backstory arcs before returning to modern day, and this would have been one of them had they thought of it before scripting S2. If they started out with Dazai backstory, it may mislead you for the series going forward, thinking it's a serious crime drama, only for the next 20 episodes to be half comedy, and spoil the Serious Dazai plot twist, while if it played at the end, it wouldn't it the rest of the series, having their Dazai arcs at the beginning. I think it would have been best to have all 3 of them at the end of the seasons. "He was a goofball the whole season, but he used to be serious and badass when he joined ADA" "He was a goofball for 2 seasons and used to be serious, but damn he was cold and ruthless before he left PM"

[@milkaddict7738]

I may be wrong here as I haven't check and feel free to correct me, but I think the LN is based 2 years after he leaves the PM (he's 20).

[@tbush6657]

@@milkaddict7738 The LN takes place out of order and follows various backstories/background informations. Example: Vol. 1- S1 Azure Messenger (excluding Atsushi since it's 2 years ago, Dazais first job) Vol. 2- Odasaku story from S2 Vol. 3- How ADA was founded Vol. 7- Dazai/Chuuya story from S3

[@simonhlavin5502]

Absolutely outstanding work just like always AnimeWins. I really hope you continue the series, because its a love child between JoJo's Bizarre Adventures and Sherlock Holmes. But I believe I should make a few things clearer for you if you haven't already discovered them yourself. 1. 2nd Season has an OVA episode called Walking Alone (Hitori Ayumu) and Its considered canon (literally ep. 25). So if you ever return to BSD series, this episode should be included. 2. The movie BSD: Dead Apple (2018) is considered canon to the anime timeline. (Just like Youjo Senki's Movie from 2019 where Tanya travels to Federation/Russia). Yet again, if you consider BSD worth your work, for full story, it should be covered as it touches on a really important past of one of its many characters. Anime Wins, thank you for all your heart, honesty and joy you put into these videos and hopefully, we will be able to experience your POV on some of the newer serieses coming later or some gems from the past such as 1995's Ghost in the Shell or 1988's Akira. May this comment help you get through the KZbin algorithm to the likes and views you consider adequate for your work. #ForTheAlgorithm

You know, something I like: the juxtaposition between the typeset used for the inner inner thoughts/intros and the digital effect for when powers are used.

This anime is actually a hit in Japan coz it highlighted the most famous literature people in Japan's history, probably also the reason its kinda underrated in the West coz most context are definitely Japanese related but we still get to see European writers tho. The anime is fun, pacing was good, season 2 was where the fun begins, did not deviates from the manga, official AU and LN was a masterpiece and even the chibi series was the best, 10/10 would rewatch it anytime. Hoping for season 4 ASAP

The crispy animation, the line weight variety, the colors, the plot, the music. All of these gives this anime a sort of "type writer aesthetic" if that makes any sense. It feels old but not dated, its so aesthetically pleasing to watch.

1. for the algorythm 2. My favourite anime 3. I have no third reason. Btw all characters are named after writers (mostly japanese later on also american) and their abillitys are based on their books its also the reason why so much is written down and not just phased in or just appears if you had not noticed. i love that fact so much and the dedication to it.

I mean, if you still want to and if it's not too much trouble? There's this whole flashback arc in the beginning of it, that's just absolutely amazing. It's about Dazai's time in the mafia and the reason he left. Aren't you interested?
