| It was pretty good, but still, nothing special |
| Both the anime and manga have yet to impress me at all. Comedy is overbearing, amiss, annoying and fucking ridiculous. Good visuals, character design and seiyuu does not make up for all this series lacks, like good writing. Will hold out hope that this will take a turn for the better and not just pander to fujoshi. |

FuegoIndigo said: Haqase said: It throws in too much comedy during the serious moments, ruins the atmosphere. Also I didn't feel like we required an entire episode just to see the MC join the group. Hope they don't drag future eps and actually get on with stuff. If we do not get to know more the characters and their behavior and thinking patterns through these episodes, then I do not think Bungou would have been enjoyable. The comedy is necessary, since it is more pleasant to watch and we can see many facets of the character's personality. (If it was all drama, it would have been as unbearable to watch as "Cake" was for me.) Also, it is still the beginning of the series, so I would not be so judgmental of the producers using too much comedy. Only in this way, imo can we become more familiar and invested with some characters. You can have comedy, sure. But it has to be done in a way so that you can transition from comedy to serious scenes without disrupting the flow. Whenever they're having a dialogue or talking, it gets interrupted due to some silly gimick or comedy. I just think it can be executed a lot better. I doubt it will improve in future eps. Time will tell. |

| I enojoyed this episode more than the last one, but it still has to impress me. Nevertheless, the bomb test was hilarious. |
Re:Zero nice troll ending.  |
| Lol...this is getting interesting |

| why does he even wanna kill himself? wtf that was his sister and she's brocon too! and god that long guitar solo at the end was amazing |

| Another great episode~ Loving the cast and their interactions, plus their voice actors are superb - kudos to them. The comedy was quite heavy this episode but I'm totally fine with it because I actually enjoyed it and found it genuinely funny, plus the bomb scene ended up as a test made it even better. Mm don't like the office girl yet tho. Daizai is so cool~ ^.^ based Miyano Mamoru seriously. Can't wait for future episodes and more character interactions, fights, and also other characters to be introduced! ED song is just beautiful - visually and sound-wise.

Time will tell. I think future scenes/serious scenes will probably have better transitions and a more focused serious tone if it is intended to be serious, this episode's bomb scene was alright in the sense that it wasn't legitimately serious per se, especially since it was just a test, as also mentioned by some others here - so I felt the comedy definitely didn't hinder anything here. |
| I agree with a lot of other people that I think it's going to struggle to hold any kind of mystery or suspense if it carries on with this style of comedy, but it's still quite good so far. |

(but fuk it) I know how you feel. The art and the music are so good, they blend perfectly in every moment of the ED. It's not just listening to the music, you can feel the music, it's amazing. |
| atsushi, dazai & kunikida best trio! <3 ppl it's just the second episode, if the op and ed scenes are anything to go by, the show will have less comedy in the future (well I'm enjoying the fun mood anyway). plus it will be 2 cours, many things can happen in 24 episodes. let's watch and wait ^_^ |
 |
| So happy this is getting a season 2 YAY Danzi and Atsushi OMG XDD |
What I find so intriguing is how Junichirou's sister is named Naomi. It's because Junichirou Tanazaki had actually wrote a book called "Naomi" and the story (to sum up) is about this dude who is madly in love and obsessed with this foreign girl whom he met. I guess you could connect the story with Naomi in Bungou Stray Dogs since she has a huge loving obsession over her "ONII-SAMA~!" XD (idk why but i just found that part hilarious!) Also, to those who don't like the comedy and want more serious stuff, just wait. The series actually will get to it and let me just say, it's pretty awesome. I know since I read the manga x3 tehee |
| "hey there's a bomber in the office, let's just enter by the front door and hope he doesnt notice us!" *bomber looks away at the same time they enter* brilliant. |

fallinh said: Me too the way that they introduce him will be badass. Also it can not wait for them to animate Akutagawa's ability and it will be super duper awesome.I like the first ep better but it was still enjoyable. I quite like the comedy thou and the ED is just mind-blowing, I really can't wait for Akutagawa's appearance :> |

I liked the comedy in this episode, but I hope it becomes a little more serious soon. I have some hype for this show. Might read ahead in the manga. Btw, Dazai is fucking amazing. Hes like Xerxes crossed with Nozumu. His seiyuu and the facial expressions he makes just make him better. Not really liking the MC though. He's a little bland and sometimes annoying, but he did make me chuckle a few times so that's fine. 4/5 I'll love this show once it gets a more serious tone, I just know.  |

| Really?! Complain about comedy?! Enjoy this, because later on it will be almost non-stop shounen-battle series. |
 |
| I really like the characters so far. I hope that things will get a bit more serious soon. |
 |
| It was an okay episode although I really hope they lay off the comedy it was okay at 1st and now I feel like this comedy they are doing isn't really actually all that funny and it is starting to come rather annoying. Comedy isn't in it genre so I hope it will start to get more serious over the next few episodes. |
| The PV totally tricked me into believing that this will start as a serious anime. The PV should've added some comedic scenes so we would expect something like this. Maybe that's the reason why I'm so freaking disappointed with this show to the point of dropping ultimately. And I disagree that we should wait for a couple of episodes for the serious tone to kick in. The anime should've introduced BOTH the tones to an extent, even mere hints and contexts, anything that would make us intrigue. The last couple of seconds showing the villain is the cake of that. And now that the villain is shown, I expect that the tone would tighten up and be more serious like how the PV conveyed. One-two more episodes. |
All people have their own sh*t tastes, therefore, there are no sh*t tastes, since everything is equally sh*t. A VERY LOGICAL PHILOSOPHY |
| Danzai = bae I hope they won't let the incest comedy take over the whole show though because I hate that shit Hongu said: Is that a problem?Why is this show so gay? |

Catalyze said: I haven't dropped a series in a very long time, but this one is a candidate. Hopefully, either the series will change a bit or I will learn to tolerate it better. I drop series way too often on a bad episode which this nearly was, the comedy and premise saved it in the end but it certainly didn't live upto the standard of episode 1. |
| I really started to like this anime more, its a smart one and keeps you thinking. I adore the comedy its great xD Especially the facial expressions of the characters <3 The artist did a great job Btw has anyone else realised how fine his butt is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  This episode was really funny 5/5 xD  Oh and am I the only one that ships Dazai and Atsushi? :33 |
 |
| i hope this show isn't episodic i guess this anime must getting more serious, i'm not like their comedy taste |
 |
| Atsushi pulled a Captain America. Dazai's such a troll but he technically didn't lie so... |
| Brother complex character spotted. Really enjoying this series so far. Lots of laughs but from the way things look it's going to get fairly serious as it goes on. |
 |
| I saw from miles away that it's just a test. It's impossible that other members wouldn't be there if there's a jihad in their HQ. Decent episode, the big boss looks cool. All Men are Equal..!?? Haha curious about that particular ability. |
 |
| hmm A little different from the manga but it was still really good also that brother fetish is something I don't like bruh.. |
 |
| That Onii-sama stuff reminded me of some painful memories of Sasuga Onii-sama for some reason. Other than that quite fun, I enjoyed it. But I hope it gets more intense later. |
| If anything, 10/10 for Hosoya's performance :p |
| No seriously. |
| First half was okay the second half was better |
 |
| I'm really enjoying this so far ! c: I think we all agree that Dazai is an amazing character, and Miyano Mamoru is doing a great job voicing him, as usual ! Can't wait 'til Atsushi learns to control his powers~ If he ever does, that is. |
 |
| Great anime so far, these 2 episodes are really good. Dazai is funny and the action is intense. I wonder why he said to the boss that he will recruit the man with the best power. |
| I like this anime so far! It's one interesting story and cool characters and I like the humor! Looking forward for more! :) |
| Dazai is the best! |
 |
| Wowowowow I'm in love with this anime. |
| Funny, but meh... Blondie at the end looks cool though so I'll keep watching. |
| Ehhhh, this show is going mediocre. Too much comedy, and it's repeated and not funny. |
| Decent episode. I'm hoping to see white tiger action next episode. |
