Bungou Stray Dogs - miscellaneous discussion

If you’re really considering this, the plush from the photo is this one and the other variations are below under Related Items
but AmiAmi operates mainly on preorders and I see they are already out of Dazai and Atsushi. But as they are focusing on preorders even with video games, these characters can still be available elsewhere.

I was meaning it more like - if he’s gotten that popular, why it isn’t generating any spotlight (as fanservice)? I guess he got some appearances in Wan! and his own light novel, but during main plot his last activity was ~2 years ago (our real time, not manga time) :joy:

Awww, that’s too bad. :sweat: Hang in there!

I’m 165cm myself, I don’t know if I can join the Transformer’s club or am I too large :laughing:

@Aislin I finally got around to reading BEAST (Or at least the first ten pages… :rofl:)
I also got the manga for BEAST, it finally arrived. I love the artstyle so much.

Summary


It’s a lot more messy than the original artstyle (Messy as in the lines aren’t as…I can’t describe it LMAO. More cross hatching and sketch-looking? I think it works well for the darker theme of this series as well as the fact that it’s about Akutagawa. If that makes sense…
And on another note. Akutagawa got the nickame 吠えぬ狂犬. I’ve been trying to think of a good way to translate this nickname… As “The mad dog that doesn’t bark” is a bit long and doesn’t really sound very good :thinking:
Maybe “The Silent Hellhound,” or smth along those lines…
What do you think? ^0^ :heart:

I was starting to feel lonely and demotivated, so good to know. :heart:

Oh, I’m really surprised with the artstyle! I agree it suits this story.

Hmmm. I think “The Silent Hellhound” sounds very good and catchy! I honestly don’t have a better idea. :dog:

Definitely one of the best series you should definitely check out! There are a lot of scenes that will make you want to watch more until you reached the last episode haha! It is also interesting to watch how the characters are developing. Its manga series is also a good one. There are more revelations haha

:stuck_out_tongue: And how is BEAST going? I’m worried that if I post my comments now they’ll get buried, so I’m holding onto them and waiting for you :sparkles: I am doing notes as I’m reading, though.

And!!! They released STORM BRINGER’s cover and approximate release date! So now I have hope it maybe will finally come out :orange_heart:

Since you’re reading during daily commute, at least it’s consistent! :blush:

I’ve got motion sickness, so all commutes were always such a time waste for me. Thankfully I don’t have to do any now.

Personally I’m doing slower than what I hoped for, but I’m approaching 50% now. There were passages when I had a feeling I have to check every single word and then the others were a breeze. :woman_shrugging:

I couldn’t find it on the Crunchyroll site, so I assumed it’s Tues @ 9:30am PST from the next week, but now it appeared!!! I watch now

It was so good I loved it :sob: :heart:
The locker scene animated was amazing

Yes, it was lovely seeing it animated. And it was nice to be able to turn off subtitles :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Actually there aren’t rushing it at all, they are going with book club’s pace of 3 chapters/week :grin: So there should be no risk of them catching up to us!

I just watched Bungou Stray Dog Wan.

Seems like te order was changed. For the dog episode wasn’t Kyoka thats was feeding the dog not Atsuchi? I don’t know how I feel about Dazai’s voice. He always sound like an idiot. In the anime he did not always sounded like that. It kinda annoying. I don’t know if it’s just me. When it was over I look the time and was like. Hum… only 11 minutes.
It was nice episode.

In the main anime he did have two voices - one serious, and one for joking. Here, he’s joking 100% time, so he’s also using this joking voice 100% time… I also prefer his serious voice, but his joking voice isn’t bothering me as much. It’s unfortunate he is annoying you as he has a lot of screen-time. :pensive:

Yes, the order was changed. Tea was #4, lockers were #5 and dogs were #23 from the second volume. I think they assumed dogs make for a nice intro? :thinking:
And I checked and you’re right, it was Kyouka! You have good memory :smile:

I remember because she was not a dog. I also remember during the dog sketch Dazai was the one to laugh about atsuchi’s cat transformation not Akutagawa. I’m happy to have heard Akutagawa use やつがれ. I never notices during the anime.

I would be expecting the joking voice only during either the climax of the joke or if he says something stupid. Not during normal stuff.

I wanted to let you know that I just finished Chapter 2 of BEAST (66%) and I’m starting to get tired. So I’ll probably switch to something lighter for a while (aka はめふら 3) before continuing.
I’m so impatient to share my BEAST comments with you, though!

You’re a fast reader lmao. At this point I dunno what’s harder reading Japanese or making myself sit still for long enough (I’m easily distracted…)
Did you learn all the new words in the book? Or just the ones that are important? O: I usually learn all of them and I feel like maybe it’s overdoing it sometimes lmao but oh well.

Comment on chapter 65 Wan:

Box Dazai
Literally my new favourite thing lmao.
Worship him fools :gun:

And Chapter 68:

Summary

That poor boy Atsushi is so easily manipulated by Dazai :rofl: His little face when Dazai says he needs him tho.

I have a lot more to say but I’ll wait for the book club so I don’t just spill it all here, LMAO. Just had to get that out :no_mouth:

I… don’t actively study any, even the most important ones ^^"
Maybe I’ll start after I finish WK & Jalup (i+1 sentence SRS), but right I don’t want third SRS.
I tried doing decks from reading in the past, and I was miserable. :sweat_smile:

Right now it’s more about training my reading speed and stamina ^^"

But since you’re already 60, your situation is different, so. :blush:
