No, because you forced me to move back with your shitty one week late reply because it seems like you still don’t get it. If you’re going to waste somebody’s time then at least do it in one run

Sure, just don’t come back in one week

The comedy is better in this episode. Atsushi officially joined to the agency after a test. Dazai is so funny. 4/5

cool episode. Digging the comedy so far between kunikida and dazai!

Gotta say that i was fooled by the test, felt a brief moment of tension when he hugged that bomb!

If they didn't show that orange hair guy in the opening, I might've not seen it coming cause it's obvious from the first episode what kinda guy Dazai is. He's sly and manipulative albeit in a good way. Also that gag of him telling that other dude to write things is growing old fast, they need to tone it down a bit or it will get annoying

The comedy is really tiresome and so far it's like 99% of the show. I'll give it one more episode.

This was ok. Not as good as the first episode. The comedy was more on the dumb and annoying side instead of the witty banter type. The only thing that made me laugh was when tiger boy jumped on the bomb. And that was more because I was shocked at how stupid that decision was than anything.

Also, I *HATE* brother-sister incest love tropes. I was hoping we wouldn't see it again, but then it made another appearance in next week's preview. Noooo!

The series's starting to get interesting. First episode seemed a little bit boring(?) but I liked this episode. The comedy is my type, Bones animated this so you know what that means and also the VAs are amazing. Especially for Dazai which I already love and the glasses guy.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Atsushi did that without think about it. Take on his life to just keep the bomb. Well, that's also bring him a reason to live. Atsushi a white tiger journey has started.

foreshadowing that this was all a farce?


Tanizaki repeating dazai's words

Also, funny that most of the time in bungo stray dogs, characters like to lift their face up like tanizaki above. bones style?

Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate.


I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death.

A better episode. While I knew Junichirou wouldn't be a one-off character due to his character design, it's not immediately obvious he's affiliated with the agency. He also has a cute brocon sister, which is always nice.

That said, I am wondering why this anime doesn't have the 'Comedy' tag. It's obviously comedic in nature.

Pretty obvious that this was just a test, the dude with the trigger was too knowledgable and his hostage didn't fit in there at all.

Aysushis entrance quest is rather interesting this episode was really goofy most of the time, but i cant say i dont like it i would say its quite the opposite. Again Dazai is the best character here so far lmao.Kunikidas ability is rather interesting too.

This episode had a very good energy. Same goes for for the main characters.

People in the background with no faces is kinda creepy lol..

Glad to see him find a group after getting kicked out to suffer on the streets.

Can't wait for the story to unfold!!!

Ok one Dazai is crazy, I mean who the fuck thinks of killing themselves by stuffing himself in a oil drum and where the hell did he even find that thing? I mean that's just fucking stupid, I dislike how unserious they make suicide in this show but apart from that its good so far. And a fake bomb situation as a test is some wild shit poor Atsushi i think his name was and that chick who was tied up is kinky talking to her brother like that bro.

Rewatching this one reminded me why I love the Agency's dynamic. Dazai's intro in the barrel for his suicide research is honestly such a mood. (o_O) But the highlight is definitely the test. Atsushi’s sacrifice, where he covers the bomb with his own body, is such a heavy moment for a character who was just about to give up and leave. ;-( It’s such a relief when the President approves him and he realizes he actually has a place to belong. B-) It’s such a great moment of validation for him! ^_^
