| I am very happy that I decided to watch this. It looks like it's going to be a good one. Plus it was a lot more funny than I had expected. |
 |
| The part near the end kinda reminded me of Akame Ga Kill, haha. |
| Awesome first episode. The characters are really interesting. A lot of the voice actors are from Durarara!! and it sort of feels like K Project with the right balance of seriousness and comedy. |
| Dazai is my favorite character so far. I relate a lot to a character that jokes about suicide. Also like the twist with that kid being the tiger. 4/5 for the first episode. |
 |
| The 1st episode finally aired, my favorite anime this season. As manga reader, it deliver my expectation. |
| Kekkai Sensen 2.0 :) |

Syonos said: Oh , thank you , it makes a lot more sense now ! I was hoping that someone who has read the book could explain why he has been represented in this way . I'm still not sure if it's a good idea talking about suicide so lightly because it could really give a confusing message to those who, like me, have never read his books but I understand their motivations now . No problem! I agree 100%. A lot of people would get the wrong message from the way they chose to characterize Dazai. I would be really confused too if I didn't read the book. But I'm glad what I said made it make maybe a littlee more sense ^^ |
| Crona! Is that you!? Question! When atsushi transformed, his clothes ripped... So when he transformed back... why is he wearing clothes?? ;) |

peeyaj said: Why the low score? Probably the humor tbh, then again Fullmetal Alchemist had atrocious humor and is still scored very highly. I think it deserves a higher score preliminary but we'll see how the series turns out. |
 |
peeyaj said: Why the low score? coz of edgy teens who dont like comedy in their life? |
| I kinda figured Atsushi is the tiger after he mentioned the tiger is following him. Well this anime kinda reminds me of Kekkai Sensen. The characters and comedy is kinda similar which is a hit or miss for me. I haven't checked yet but the OP seems to be performed by the same band/artist who made the Dimension W ED. Watching the trailer I thought this will be some good shit but after this first episode I dont really know. |

| I was expecting a serious dark anime, and the comedy took me off guard. Then I got yaoi vibes from this and thought I wouldn't like it, I'm glad that's gone too. The OP is good, the ED is so much better. The animation is nice and I'm happy the MC isn't a complete dumbass. It was a good start. Hope it stays good for 12 episodes. 4/5 cause the comedy was a hit or miss for me. |
 set by secret santa ; thank you! ily ♥️ |
RyuKlinge said: Thank you so much, that is very helpful to know. I figured that it was something with the author Dazai is based on that is why his character acted the way he did. That was one of the things I loved about this anime was that I wanted to know more about who the characters are based on and get to know more about Japanese History. I enjoyed Dazai because I have depression myself so I kind of figured he had deep-seeded issues that he was hiding. I think this will be a very intriguing, character based anime that I can't wait for more of. No problem ^^ Yes, I think it's a very interesting approach they decided to take in hiding Dazai's "true character". “As long as I can make them laugh, it doesn’t matter how, I’ll be alright. If I succeed in that, the human beings probably won’t mind it too much if I remain outside their lives. The one thing I must avoid is becoming offensive in their eyes: I shall be nothing, the wind, the sky.”--Dazai Osamu One of the greatest thing I admire about Osamu-sensei is that his sincere thoughts and words are powerful enough to touch hearts. I felt so moved by his words, and , like you, I can't wait to see more of Dazai depicted through this character |
| Okay first episode, I was expecting this to be more "Mature" so the comedy kinda dissapointed me a bit, i'll probably marathon this when its over. |
 |
| My favourite first episode so far. Characters are great and I enjoyed the comedic moments. |
| :) |
| That episode is entertaining to the extreme! The intoduced so far characters (sinnamon rool, a suicide maniac and an angst organized mother) are cool and the soundtrack is super. The opening song is cool! When I heard No longer human I instantly got a bit depressed... That sh*t is depressing! (THERE'S AN ACTUAL ANIME "NO LONGER HUMAN" watch it now!!! Hyper depressing and the story is like 4 episodes) It's like an autobiography of the author, who on the other hand seems way too happy and easy-going... And one last thing. Isn't it actually bothering anyone that they are picking some big names and making them goofy, like if they pick five big Bulgarian authors names like Ivan Vazov, Paisii Hilendarski, Chernorizec Hrabur, Pencho Slaveykov and maybe Yordan Yovkov (Most likely you hear these names for the first time) and make them all goofy and sh*t and like parodies of themselves I would be mad as f*ck! |

| Looks like Edogawa and Izaya from durarara have the same voice actor, they sound the same. |
 |
| An ok episode i guess. Had good animation but that's to be expected. Hopefully it isn't as dissapointing as Kekkai Sensen. |
| I had a feeling I was going to like this! And the first episode lived up to my expectations :) "I have no such tastes in men." Lolll! I know whose my favorite so far :P |
| There was a bit too much shounen-y comedy for me, but I still really liked it. Looking forward to the bromance. |
 |
| The comedy is hilarious and the reaction faces are great. Love the interactions and whole premise of this. A lot of new good shows I'm looking forward to, and this is one of them! |
 |
| Maybe is beacuase I don't know a bit of Japanese Writers that I felt the episode a bit wrong. I must say I was thinking something maybe more... more... calm... yes, but even though, Bungou Stray Dogs didn't disappointed me. The animation is not superb but sure is way better than most of the season's, art is kinda weird but yeah, I like It, specially the colors and backgrounds which are very well done. The pacing is correct, not too fast, not too slow, just correct. Characters are truly awesome, actually that was the best part in all the episode, to watch the characters develop some of their attitutudes and ways of being. Story is impressively interesting, and yes, as obscure as I thought, hope It gets more and more into the shadows haha. I'm having a big hope to this to become one of the best of the season, good things will happen with Bungou Stray Dogs, hope Bones not to ruin It. 4/5 |
Equitum said: I really liked this. Characters are great so far, the powers are interesting, and the music is awesome. Can't wait for more. This was a very good first episode. Looks like this will be interesting. Definitely will follow this. |
 Fake people have an image to maintain. Real people just don’t care. |
| It was pretty entertaining, I was able to focus unlike the previous first episodes of Spring 2016's Anime lineup. I'd have to say this has to the one of the better first episodes for this year's Spring Anime. I actually didn't expect the white-haired kid to be the tiger, that was quite surprising. The animation, colors, BGM and pacing were all quite good. the OP is pretty good too. |
| 臭い- |
| Not really impressed by the pilot. I get the feeling this could end up developing in something like Kekkai Sensen, but I hope this will develop into something plot-driven in the end. |
  |
| That was indeed very interesting! A bit predictable though :) |
 |
| what is this gay shit imagine j.k. rowling shouting out her move: "HARRY POTTER!!!" sheit dawg |
| I think the idea behind the whole story is really really great, i just love characters based on historic persons. and authors on top of that. i love the names of their abilities as well~ i think miyano does a great job as Dazai, I like this character (and his outfit) already. I also figured out that Atsushi must be the tiger when he claimed that he saw the tiger, but it was actually just a "reflection" he saw, but i liked how it ended nevertheless~ I like supernatural stuffs and this has definitely piqued my interest |
| I believe in karma what you give is what you get returned~ ♫ |
| Definitely some Kekkai Sensen vibes. The humor caught me a little off guard, but it's not too bad |
 |
| It was fun to watch. And the characters design is good. |
 |
| OH MY GOSH finally a good anime in the season. I absolutely loved this, this is my kind of anime! The characters are awesome and all the drama, the comedy and the action work together perfectly! I can't wait for the next episode. ^^ |
| Book about suicide methods XD. Funny anime. |
| That April is better than I thought. 4/5 for this one. |
 Men are props on the stage of life, and no matter how tender, how exquisite… A lie will remain a lie. |
| Pretty good. Comedy kinda ruined some of the moments, but it was bearable. |
| This first ep was great and got me really pumped for whatever is to come! The OP and ED are on point and I love the animation style! Can't wait to see what'll happen next!! :) |
| Loved -That suicidal guy -The funny faces they did -That my inner fujoshi is awakening Hated -The forced comedy moments -How predictable was the tiger's identity. -Suicidal guy incorporating our tiger's-hand-mc to the 'team' out of nowhere. So abrupt yet so predictable. The show has some potential. Let's see. |
| One of the most anticipated shows on my list. I'm pleased with it. I like the setting and pace of the show. Dazai looks interesting. |
