| Is this the part where this show becomes boring again? |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| top notch backstory arc ... that is better than the main story? hope this quality keeps up |
| And here are the tears... Goodnight, Oda. I'm going to miss you so much. These four episodes were a masterpiece. |
| The first 4 chapters have raised the bar a lot, I wonder if the rest of the season can keep up. |
| probably the best episode of stray dogs so far can wait to see how the show is going to do from here. |
| the ost was amazing and this arc was so epic |
 |
| So Oda goes to Gide despite knowing that it'll kill him. He's given up on being a writer now after the kids were killed. And the fight between Gide and Oda was just too cool. They were fighting close range with guns. Normally at this range people would punch or kick or use daggers/knives at vest. But they're using nekoing guns at this range and even dodging those bullets. How cool is that? Dazai comes to save Oda but he was a bit too late. I liked how he showed that badassery to the boss. And the boss was pulling the strings behind all that was happening for the sake of the business permit so that they can come a bit above ground. And Dazai leaves the Mafia because Oda said so. He won't find any reason to live no matter what he does so he might as well become a good guy. This was pretty cool. We've learned stuff about Dazai so it's good. Now do they plan on linking this store to the current events in the show or is this completely unrelated to anything? |

It is related , you will come to better understand some moments and dialogues in the guild/3 ways war arc that concern dazai and other characters despite the author throwing some hints . |

| Well, that sucks... Glad to be back to our usual badass goofiness again next week though :D |
| This was a really good arc. I liked Oda. Next week we see characters from S1 again. |

| Oh my, this is legit the saddest ep for the series :( When Odasaku said good night to each children.... man, those Mimic and Port Mafia boss is seriously trash for involving the children :') The fight between Odasaku and Mimic Boss is so badass, they're fighting with gun at a close range, that's seriously superb :o aaand so that's why Dazai end up where he is now, Odasaku sure is a great part of his life huh x'D Looks like we''l be back to the present time next week, I kinda missed that doctor neechan haha |
 |
| Dasai's background was so much overwhelming/...... Odasa RIP |
 |
| Didn't even realize the episode was out, Great episode nevertheless. Excellent soundtrack as well. Gunfight between Gide and Odasaku was awesome. So the Port Mafia leader was the one who set up everything, Just so he could get the permit. R.I.P Odasaku, I really liked him. :( Odasaku's final words are the reason that Dazai decided to leave Port Mafia, A job that saves people. Guess that relates to why Dazai saved Atsushi. :) Nice to see Dazai back to his goofy personality at the end as well. Overall, This arc was amazing. Loved Dazai's backstory and these last few episode have easily been my favorites episodes till date. Looks like we're going back to present time now. :D |

| The one thing I never understood. Why didn't Gide just kill himself? Suicide is a very valid option for him, no? That said, I was right in guessing Oda's demise, though it was more artistic than I'd expected. Not too sure who those men in black were either. Which organization were they from and for what reason did they rush in on two people who already were on the verge of killing each other? Anyway, looking forward to seeing the old crew again next week. |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| Great Episode!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| It was damn good arc. The episode was on par with the previous ones. Such top notch animation and wonderful bunch of dialogues. Really liked the insert song music used. The fight was awesome. RIP Odasaku and kids :( |
 |
| Oh my fucking god this show is good!! This might actually come in 2nd for best anime of the season (After Haikyuu!! Ofcourse) |
 |
| What an amazing arc (*.*). Dazai's past is really interesting, now I understand why he left the Mafia. I will miss Odasaku, this man was excellent. Congratulations for the seiyuu! It was nice to see Ranpo :) |
| Its so sad that the kids that Odasaki cared for all now all dead Damm you mimic The scene in the beginning though was touching Lol a meeting between the government's spec ops abilities unit and the port mafia. Now that must have been a tense meeting Man the port mafia boss is still as nutty as ever I can't begin to understand the grief that Odasaku is going through right now This feels like a goodbye for Odasaku though sadly That scene and the music for it though was well done Hmm a nice move to put Rampo into this episode Animation and combat scenes were just as strong Hmm so the members of Mimic only wanted to die in battle eh Its nice to see that Dazai actually cares about his friend and that the boss is so readily agreeable lol Hmm so this fight against Mimic was orchestrated by the boss all along then The fight scene between Odasaku and Gide though was really good i love how they inserted the opening song in with that fight especially that scene where they both reloaded their weapons at the same time and when they both shot at the opposing soldiers when they rushed in and that slow mo scene as well lol So Odasaku's dying words is what prompted Dazai to leave the port Mafia and save people instead of killing them eh Sad that he had to die though he was such a great character Overall this was a great episode that put an end to this mini arc though its too bad that it ended with Odasaku's death. That guy really grew on me these past episodes. But next episode will be back with the detective agency then so im looking forward to seeing that |

| Welp, that was great. This whole arc was absolutely amazing. My biggest fear is now they're going back to, well, slightly above average show that is was before this arc. And after this, slightly above average is just not good enough. |
| These 4 episodes were great but I'm not sure if the show will keep being good now that we're going back to the main cast... I admit I didn't like the first season very much |
 |
| nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo D: Oda died AND he fulfilled the wish that asshole that ruined his... |
| Don't make me love a character and then kill him tho i knew that he was going to die. RIP Odasaku. T~T But thanks to him we got our lovable Dazai. Q~Q |
 |
| wowwwie this season is so much better than the first |
| Perfect, the four episodes about the past. 10/10 |
 |
| These 4 episodes were better than the whole first season. I doubt they can keep this intensity throughout the last 8. |
 |
| I agree, these 4 episodes were better than the whole first season... |
 |
| This anime is life, Dazai is life, honestly all the characters are so likeable especially in these last four episodes. |
| Oda was a Bad@ss to the end 😭😭😭 Now I know why Dazai left |
| Great arc, but I really hope the show can continue to be this good once it returns to the main arc next time. |
| This episode was very powerful, the whole arc in general. The symbolism was strong. I decided to actually read the novel, someone told me that they cut out some really nice stuff (not that i blame them, they still need to focus on guild arc). Amazing character development for Dazai. Man the feels. |
 |
| Odasaku......... ( ɵ̥̥ ˑ̫ ɵ̥̥) Anyway, thoughts on this first arc. Art & Animation: amazing as usual, even tho they didn't show very much in terms of "special effects", the character design is still top notch and the whole thing works super good. Sound & Music: Loved the music, especially in this 4th episode, and the voice acting is, again, perfect. Story: What a sad beginning to the season.. But hey, at least we know who's Dazai. Like, who he REALLY is. The other characters were super interesting too, even tho I didn't really like Gide's motives, they felt a lil bit over the top, but given the various plot twists, the story up until now felt really good. Wonder what's gonna happen to Ango. Overall: Super enjoyed it. Definitely recommended. And again, Odasaku ( ɵ̥̥ ˑ̫ ɵ̥̥) |
| Goodbye oda... I'm glad that its back to the future now. |
| This arc was great and I wouldn't have mind if the entire season was going to run like that. The dark, gritty atmosphere of the mafia world was well portrayed and Dazai's backstory was well explained. I actually got really sad towards the ending. It seems that Dazai is a really nice person despite his mafia history. I'm going to miss this prequel arc. |
| allo |
| How can this be so much better than the first season by now? A surprise hit, indeed. But I won't get my expectations high for the next episodes. They will probably be filled with useless humour again. I really enjoyed the absence of it and the serious feels in the first four eps of season two. Smudy said: RIP Odasaku, best man of the series. Agreed. |
