As I had thought, Dazai is still a badass this season. 

Kenji shows a much scarier side of himself after realizing the Hunting Dog's plans. Truly a loyal friend though. The reaction he got shows that he truly care about his friend Atushi. I do like how this episode managed to balance out the comedic and darker moments. Not the most epic episode of the season but an entertaining one imo.

Another cliffhanger though, this season sure loves those.

Didn't know you can write わかる (wakaru) - "to understand" with the character for "judgement" (判)
5:12 HOOOLY ANIMATION. Going through this sequence frame by frame is really fun.
Who what is that? Does Kenji have some abilities that weren't revealed? Or I suppose this dark effect was just to show his mental state.
Oh wait, so he does!
Their exchange was kinda wholesome.
Holup, can Fyodor control Chuuya? I know he's on the same side with Fukuchi but still.
I refuse to beleive that Fyodor is actually puzzled.
Sigma is literally us lol.
Now that I think about it, we really haven't seen anyone besides Dazai and Fyodor in the prison...
14:36 I wonder what would happen if a person is at the edge, would they be sliced in half? Or maybe it works like a gradient and not a cut off line.
15:22 But her ability only works for a few seconds? How in the world?
17:43 I feel bad for saying this but this "Goodbye!" is so cute
And no way those two are dead. I refuse to believe it.
How old is Bram anyway? His backstory seems interesting.
Well shiet
Both OP and ED are really good

Teruko sure has some crazy ideas. Kenji sure had a rough time with his fight. But wow what a tideturner he ended up causing. Kenji the sleeping giant sure is an appropiate nickname for him. But being always hungry is a pretty tame cons of that ability. The scene in which they both collasped exhausted really was surreal. The ability to stop time is always handy. Flesh and ability sounds kinda unique. Situation wise though looks like the battle is still in a matter of flux.

Always thought Kenji was kind of a boring character, but his true power being that strong was a surprise. I'm sure he and Tetchou will become good friends since they are very simple-minded lol.
I really doubt Fyodor and Chuya have died just like that. Surely next week Dazai will get a surprise.
Aya and Bram are the highlight of this season, every scene involving them ends up being so funny.

Dazai is just something else. That gifted with time stop ability will probably be more relevant in future arc. Another cliffhanger ending. I wonder if she can remove the sword from Bra chan.

Kenji might just be the most powerful in terms of combat among ALL characters in this series. Just loved the way he stomped all over Tetchou to the point where that man literally kind of changed sides lol. Though for Atsushi, the inevitable happened.. and he's out from the scene for the time being.

Poor guy though, but it wasn't just Atsushi who suffered a bad day, I mean Fyodor got completely played. Can't blame Chuuya because he ain't even Chuuya, he's a vampire whos incapable of thinking anything of himself lol.

GOAT Dazai being GOAT at the end of the day like usual with his "everything was planned all along" revelations, but we know that isn't the end of Fyodor and Chuuya either.

So, them and Aya needs to do something super quick, or otherwise...

Damn man every episode just gets better and better I swear.

I had no idea Kenji was that strong. I mean I knew he was strong and that’s his whole gimmick and all, but strong enough to dig holes out of the earth and change the direction of a river? That’s some marvel type shit lol.

It really is crazy how scary the detective agency is tbh. Dazai and Ranpo are super geniuses, Kenji is the hulk, Akiko can keep people from dying etc. when their backs are against the wall they’re at their strongest.

Speaking of Dazai, I just love how he’s always got a plan. Using the thief’s time ability to slowdown time and make moves every day is brilliant. Who knows what else he’s been up to if he was able to knock out the security guards. No way he’s gonna actually let Chuuya die. There has to be a backup plan he’s got for that flood as well.

Aya and Bran have such a great chemistry together. Every moment they’re on screen is hilarious. Despite his prickly exterior he clearly cares for humans and is a nice guy. Looks like he was just a victim of the usual medieval human hatred of all things supernatural.

That ending though! Damn what a cliffhanger, these episodes aren’t long enough. I need to know what happens next. Bran was genuinely terrified for Aya 😩

Damn, Atsushi can't even last a fight here. Kenji's anger adds to his strength ability. His hunger could contain his power huh, he didn't kill Tetchou. Dazai is just chill, but I doubt he will let Chuuya die. And Akutagawa has reached Bram and Aya. What will happen now?

They finally brought the budget back from last season for this episode. All the Kenji fight animated scenes was sick! I hope we get more Bones level animation before this season ends.

I apologize Kenji, I wasn't familiar with your game. Like damn I didn't know he was capable of pulling out that kind of power, that completely changed the momentum of his fight. 

There goes Dazai, being the GOAT as usual. He really played the long game with that plan of his. This definitely won't be the last we see of Fyodor and Chuuya though 🤔

More Bram and Aya screentime is always nice, I think there was a nice blend of comedy and seriousness during their conversation. Unfortunately that hiding spot wasn't safe, with Akutagawa on the attack. Another week, another good episode, and another cruel cliffhanger lol. 
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

I don't think the budget ever went way. Some scenes may not have been done all that well, but Season 5 as a whole is well animated.

The first part with Kenji was really well done when you compare it to the manga, that was pretty good :) Also the funny tone when Dazai was blinking xD
BUT I really wanted to see the scene where Dazai stole Chuuyas hat when they were kids and so on :'( also the music while Chuuya drowned so dramatic could have been way more sad. It should have been exchanged with the one that played when Bram talks to Aya. Somehow Bones just deletes things that were awaited the most...
This time they animated 100,100.5,101 and 102. So 3,5 chapters o.O i really think we could see 108 or 109 at the end... which makes me panic a bit.

I love Bra-chan so much! Easily my favourite addition to the cast in the last couple of seasons.

Kenji finally got a bit more depth too which was nice.

Kinda sad that Rampo set up a plan where Atsushi needs to get tortured >.<

I'm betting Fyodor is still alive. Chuuyas offscreen(?) demise as evidenced by the hat is one thing but we didn't see Fyodor at all. Kenji's part was cool, I can relate. Looks like he made a friend.

Another great episode, with yet another cliffhanger ending.

Fight 1: Atsushi vs. Teruka ends with her taking him down.

Fight 2: Kenji vs. Tetchou, well Kenji got mad and unleashed yet unknown powers. That was amazing. It ended with his victory, him extending an olive branch then the 2 of them taking a well deserved dirt nap. Haha, what fun. I love it.

Fight 3: Dazai and Sigma vs. Fyodor and Chuuya. Wait. Can it be true that Dazai won?? Find out next week.

Lastly, the little lady and Bra-chan (my favorite couple) were hiding, but their place has been discovered by Vampire Akutagawa. Oh no!! 

Now we have to wait till next week, argh!

I still have doubts that Chuuya is actually dead. Not only no one really ever dies in this series, but Chuuya being a vampire will probably have some side effect that keeps him from dying. Maybe it´s like some vampire stories, where the vampire doesn´t die even if he´s drowned and just stays in an inanimate state.

So so so, Chuuyaaaa!!!!

I would love to see animation of Dazai beating those sacutity guys up, if this really is the case here. How could he nullify stop-time-girl's ability? It would surely take time for him to get back to the scene after touching her (evenif he knew all codes beforeheand). Or wasnt he only one unaffected. Didnt get that part.
