This is why Yosano’s backstory is still the best episode of S4-5 for me. It slows down and lets you sit with what’s going on and truly feel the horrifying nature of her ability.
It was done amazingly! The scene where Tachihara reveals his older brother was the one who Yosano had such a close connection with in her backstory gave me chills
they cut that one funny scene in the prison where dazai asked fyodor to pass him salt because he had none on his serving and fyodor passed it only for it to get blocked by the barrier and fyodor asked dazai to pass an egg and dazai passed also for it to be blocked by the barrier
I also think that they are going a bit fast because they want to catch up to current manga then possibly animate stormbringer and beast to take up season 6
bones take their time with gags and yet removed the salt and egg scene between Dazai and Fyodor. that’s the only thing i’m not forgiving about this season along with Akutagawa’s smile💔💔 but overall i’m having fun as a manga reader ngl, sometimes people go way too far to shit on everything without seeing anything positive. with this fast pacing, i’m genuinely curious if we’ll get to see chapter 109 this season. it would be a great cliffhanger LMAOOOOO
@@HannahS65 naa, we need more insane shit in the same season. jokes aside tho, i was trying to predict using how many pages they animate per episode and it kinda fits
@@veridian4433 yeah! that’s why it would be hilarious ngl, since after all of it what anime onlies AND manga readers will have is only chapter 110, which was.. quite short
That, and Ango at Oda's grave. It was an instrumental panel in humanising a character that already gets scrutinised and labeled a heartless traitor by the fandom. And Sigma not having the introduction he had in the manga that did wonders to show how he was much more different than the rest of the DoA, foreshadowing how he would diverge paths from them. I'm sure there's more things like these that got deleted, but I can't remember for the life of me. The anime didn't do much justice to the manga, honestly.
Best thing about bunguo stray dogs is that its JUST UNPREDICTABLE The characters are so smart you cant imagine what happens next thats what makes it so good Plus no fanservice and no 24/7 action like in geberic shounen This is a seinen These make this anime so good
why is it so underrated anyone hardly talks about it dazai is the most memorable character in fact many characters from jjk feel like a ripoff of bsd characters,like gojo,nanami,mahito,even yuji
It definitely feels like BONES is cutting a bunch of content from the Manga which is fine sometimes but for the most part the manga content is really good however they could be doing that so that BEAST and/or STORMBRINGER can take the rest of season 6 which with BEAST is confirmed from the BEAST! Dazai concept art however I would not mind if they just did STORMBRINGER to fill out season 6 and just made BEAST a mini-series or movie
but not only the characters are amazing but fyodor’s plans are just amazingly built up in the series and it really makes you think fyodor is a mastermind, and that’s difficult to make. Its a very original anime in all aspects, characters, abilities everything . Asagiri just thought about everything just amazing :)
I think it was rushed because as they wait for content for S6 they can animate other BSD content like Beast or Storm-bringer or even the light novels like Dazais entrance exam. Its my speculation and I could be wrong but it would give the audience a breather from the chaos that's currently ongoing in the BSD universe. Its also something people would like to see, a BEAST production is definitely something I would watch since the story is an interesting concept despite also being fast paced.
I do agree though, all that cut content could have really been used to benefit the pacing for the series… especially when the source is a monthly manga! It doesn’t benefit to rush through precious material, but I’m still happy with it (as long as I watch the anime first, then read the manga, other way and it’d be a slightly different story-)
@@laibahmuntahahave you seen the health of mangakas who update weekly? Why do you think Hunter x Hunter had such a long break? He’s thinking of himself first which is good.
@@mcreemuffins ok then what if the magazines released chapters every 2 weeks instead of 1? Or maybe, in the case with asagiri, he shouldn't make chapters as small as ch 110.5
I wish the anime didn't skip out on things that happened in the manga (like Sigma's backstory, Tachihara's break down, 6 PAGES OF MAIN CHARACTER BACKSTORY, etc), or at least paced a bit of this season a little better (like the battle w/ Fukuchi). !!! SEASON 5 SPOILERS !!! Don't get me wrong the animation is amazing, as an animator myself, I thought the animation and cinematography was beautiful but what really got me this season was Akutagawa's death. It was rushed so badly it hardly gave you time to think, I had already known it was going to happen (as a manga reader) but usually w/ characters I love a lot when their death is animated I still freak, in fact when I was re-reading the bsd manga to analyze it and I STILL almost cried at his death in the manga. Akutagawa's death was NOT it, the camera angle was really bad and where was the smile? His stupid (really pretty) smile was gone and he looked ugly💀. And guess what!? In the manga he is so pretty it's insane that anime!Aku and manga!Aku are the same person. Bones also seems to love to get rid of certain characters (Aku, Dazai, Fyodor) emotions and it upsets me quite a bit because it doesn't show the characters how they truly are and it leads to many people to mischaracterize many MANY characters. TLDR: BSD is a good anime don't get me wrong but I love Akutagawa and am mad at bones for rushing and making his death look ugly and they take away his emotions as well as MURDER others characters development/get rid of important scenes. Anyways; stan Akutagawa, hate Dazai, love Atsushi. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk sorry for the long comment I like bsd a lot.
I actually enjoy how fast the action is going mostly because my attention span is incredibly short and I can stay focused longer when the action is rushing but it’s annoying when you can’t even like get used to some character because in a moment they are already dying
I’m currently writing something about the DOA because I like to struggle. It was so rushed, I’ve forgotten some many things. I now have to watch again and actually read the manga. There is little to nothing I can remember other than a few minor details about Sigma, and I’m still struggling to write about him. Not to add up the fact Bones didn’t animate everything and now I have to read all of it.
2025 is what many people have apparently heard. A movie in 24 and season 6 in 25. Don't know that that's true, as I think everyone thought they'd end around 101 not 111 or 112 as we don't even know what that consists of.
The pacing is pretty accurate, especially in season 5's Vampire Outbreak Arc, because it's not actually a long arc but rather just overly stalled by Asagiri with a heck ton half chapters over the course of 32 months - which we find was so the anime could conclude it first.
Yeah, the pacing in the new season is actually much more reasonable than the first two seasons in my opinion. It knows when to take things slow and when to make things fast which shows good director abilities. Plus, Asagiri himself always supervises the anime and approves everything so I never worry about it and I always like the outcome
One of the reasons I believe they are animating more chapters is because the chapters are getting shorter. For example, the newest chapter, 110, was so short that the whole chapter could have either fit in 109 or been considered a 109.5 If you look at older chapters, for example, Chapter 40, its way longer than the newer ones.
i really would have liked bsd manga more if they made them long like we had at the beginning, otherwise it makes me feel like 1 month of waiting isnt worth enough
I never read Bungo Stray Dogs manga, but I actually quite like the fast pacing, and every twist and turn were hitting pretty nicely to me. I love where they are taking the storyline. Can't wait for the upcoming season.
I think that they're going at a just right pace, if they really took their sweet time, we'd probably end up with a season full of filler but instead we got a season where it's never boring and everything is happening one after the other to like show how the characters can never seem to catch a break so I think the directors made that decision on purpose
I definitely feel season 4 and 5 is being rushed, honestly not sure why cause they are catching up to manga real quick I did wish Rampo’s revelation of who kamui is wasnt cut so much in the manga it took a lot longer
lol I started with reading the manga, and I caught up from start to finish in a few months, the last chapter I had read was smth near the end of the prison arc (around chapter 107 I believe) Despite having plenty of time to read it at a steady pace, I zoomed through it and most of it went right over my head somehow, so I knew stuff but I didn’t at the same time It was weird, especially bc I can’t rlly remember what it was like, but I’ve fully absorbed the story and I’m just as obsessed as any other fan, except I’m not as down bad as most of y’all are
Season 5 has been going pretttyy fast, like the next episode is literally chapter 109… THE LATEST IS CHAPTER 110???? Honestly the pacing has definitely been off but tbh idrc, bungo is my favourite show and I will love it no matter what bones does to it 😔 Prepared to cry next episode 😭
i just finished the whole series in a week-non-stop and damn i do agree that it's rushed BUT also a masterpiece, i feel like there are conflicts that hadn't finished but somehow the show just shifted into another conflict or a new one, atp i don't know what happened to margaret, how about the rest of the port mafia that ended up being vampires? heck i even forgot where was kyouka within the whole s5 ToT
I just want Poe to get more screen time I love him i glade he got some but he could be so much more helpful if they play his ability well and he is just amazing
I wish a different studio took it on. They cut so much that the characters seem different too. Every emotional part is ruined by Bones turtle smiles. Like wtf was that Akutagawa scene
I think that they are so fast because since season 4 an 5 are like 1and 2 that connect right away if they stretch or delay it the tension will be lose and all the hype will be lose like in attack on titan season 3. I read all the manga and they are not skipping anything from it.
I mean admittedly... I don't entirely blame them rushing some... cause as is, it'll take minimum 2 seasons and a movie for decay of angels plot alone... if not 3 full seasons. Like I mean the portway to the sky portion ALONE has been ongoing for I think longer than the entirety of the main plot in season 3 episode count wise... and that's with there being more chapters per episode... if they went at the normal pace, we'd probably be left there even longer... and don't get me wrong, I love the airport part... but then if they went slower we'd probably be stuck on a cliffhanger from season 5 where we're still in the airport or mersault... I mean also consider how not only did they adapt more chapters per episode but they deigned to not have a backstory arc in Season 5 at all unless they tag it in at the end... it makes it feel like they knew they'd need to pump out a lot to make it get to a good stopping point... there still are definitely some issues and honestly they should have waited a season so there'd be a few extra chapters for them to work with cause as is it is... they're gonna run out of chapters before getting to the end of the season
I agree with you. I haven't read the manga, but I have a friend who spoiled me a lot. Judging by the things she told me, I thought that the upcoming (at the time) season 4 should've gotten more episodes. I just intuitively felt that 13 would not be enough. But I still love thia anime with all of my heart!
Wish they didn’t rush it ngl but every episode I watched I read the chapters with it and the manga is supreme Anime is still amazing though and I’m glad it’s there while reading the manga for the first time lol but I’m curious what chapter the anime will end in.
Honestly it's a shame the pacing is so fast, especially this season. They've already covered almost all the chapters of the manga so far so that'd mean we'll have to wait a few years for a new season, and I bet most people are going to get over bsd by the time a sixth season will be announced, which is kinda sad if you think about it. I'm also kinda scared of how they're going to end this season cause this arc is far from over.. I would've said ending the season with the climax in chapter 109 would be the best option but knowing that season 5 is going to have only 10 episodes and that they just released the 8th episode last week in which they covered chapter 101, I'd say that's really improbable😭 besides, starting off season 6 with yet ANOTHER climax (the one in chapter 110) wouldn't be a good idea.. so I'm kinda curious how this season will end
@@Girlinterrupted..x I've been in the bsd fandom since 2021 so idk what you're talking about dude, yeah some don't move on but I met plenty of people that simply forgot about bsd or moved onto other fandoms who get wayy more content than we do in a shorter time span
@@Girlinterrupted..xpeople will get over bsd at some point like any anime. Stuff like pokemon or one piece are constantly updated so they're still relevant. But if we have to wait years before a new bsd season, all the anime fans will get over it. Bsd will still have fans but every Fandom has its 'prime' and that won't be it.
I can't completely blame Bones for the pacing to be honest. The manga's pacing is also a bit inconsistent and it goes from moving at a breakneck pace to slowing down for no reason. This is most evident with the past 20 chapters i.e the Airport and Mersault chapters. I would actually argue that Season 2 and 3 were a lot more rushed compared to Seasons 4 and 5. Season 2 in particular cut out quite a bit of content, but it seems to be fan favorite of many.
I think Asagiri might have planned it that way more and more. Now everyone is on the same page. It would explain why the chapters have been so short, he's been teasing us, and letting the anime catch up, so everyone is on the same page at the same time for once. Then the manga will start ramping up again. I hope. I'm ready for this arc to be done.
To Be Honest As An Anime Only Watcher Every Thing Does Still Seems To Make Like Sense To Me. Its A Little Fast Sure, But I Don't Feel Like I'm Am Missing Anything Of Real importance.
You may be able to process what’s going on but they don’t give it enough time to settle in so you conceptualize it’s scope or importance… ultimately making the anime more forgettable and unrealistic in the process
Already passed the manga with ep 11, honestly I mostly agree Bones it's a good studio and all but they made some questionable changes,it was fine for 1-3 since, but 4-5 in the manga was jammed packed with information that got lost in the anime.
Maybe the season was fast paced because of that page .... the fact that the rules had to be followed to execute it and if we see the paper ... there was so much written into one page itself ... well that would make sense
I think that season 5 pace is so fast bc they wanted to animate chapter 109 ( chuuya killing dazai ) before having to wait 3-5 years to have enough material to make another season That scene is so iconic that's why they probably wanted to animate it to please the fans, or else we would have to wait like 5 years in order to see it animated. Though i would probably prefere to wait a bit than to see it so rushed, like the animation/compositon is lacking compared to other seasons Also idk why they rushed when they have 1 whole episode left for only 1 chapter of 13 pages, they could have used that to pace it better, but idk if they're going to animate unreleased chapters instead
@@bandage-wasting-machine533 yeah it wasn't out publicaly but asigiri works closly with the production team so they probably already had at least a rough version of the chapter
I regret it so much that I didn't watch BSD when it first aired, cus I binged this series up to S3 a long while ago (before covid iirc) and I love it. The story honestly keeps on blowing my mind with the unexpected outcome. But then again, there's no news after that and because I binged it, my short term memory can't handle the big amount of information, especially when the story has a lot of thinking involved. My brain just couldn't remember it as clearly as the first time I watched it, hence when S4 aired, I literally have no idea what happened in S3 (Yes that's dumb, I know, sorry😭). Like, how do we get here? Who are these new red coat villains group? I also forgot most of the names😭. I still enjoy it tho, but I just wish my memory is still fresh when I finished S3 so that I can keep up with it better.
Think about it, without Mori, BSD would have never happened. Without Mori, the Demon Prodigy would have never existed. Without him, Beast would have never existed.@@NeuviIlette
I don't know quite where they could've stopped, but I feel like if they'd only adapted about 3/4ths of what they did the show would've been a lot better off
s4,5 spoiler‼️‼️ the animation, music, voice acting, composition are all great but i wish they didn’t cut out so many important scenes and remove certain character’s (akutagawa and dazai’s) personality so much stuff like akutagawa smiling in his last moments and dazai’s expression when he was arrested/ found out fyodor was using chuuya/ died were changed a lot. details like this make characters what they are.
I've always wanted to like BSG more than I actually do. to me it feels like the series is suffocating itself with too many characters and plots to pay justice to. you could fill triple the amount of pages without running out of content.
You’re clearly a new fan. Its not rushed bro. They treated it with care. Even the artists and directors who are involved in the Animation said it in their tweets. And we long time fans can see it as well. Some scenes may have not appeared the way some of us want it to be. An Artist myself I can tell BSD was not rushed.
This is why Yosano’s backstory is still the best episode of S4-5 for me. It slows down and lets you sit with what’s going on and truly feel the horrifying nature of her ability.
It was done amazingly! The scene where Tachihara reveals his older brother was the one who Yosano had such a close connection with in her backstory gave me chills
The anime (By Bones) cuts ALOT of things from the manga but still delivers a great production ❤
Everything but the pacing's been phenomenal. Especially the backgrounds, they're just drop dead gorgeous. Still a fun time regardless!
I think the issue is that they added too much comedy in moments that didn't need it at times. Though they fixed this by Season 4.
*cough cough* sigmawearsheels *cough cough*
they cut that one funny scene in the prison where dazai asked fyodor to pass him salt because he had none on his serving and fyodor passed it only for it to get blocked by the barrier and fyodor asked dazai to pass an egg and dazai passed also for it to be blocked by the barrier
I also think that they are going a bit fast because they want to catch up to current manga then possibly animate stormbringer and beast to take up season 6
Imagine having Stormbringer animated tho 🤩
IMAGINE BEAST GETTING ANIMATED
I'm pretty sure they announced a new movie being made. People are saying it's gonna be 55 Minutes.
55 mins? Please do not forget that one.
doesnt beast have a live action movie tho its official too
It's kind of funny how the anime is paced so fast, meanwhile in the manga it takes years to get through 24 hours worth of events😂
The manga originally is a monthly magazine
bones take their time with gags and yet removed the salt and egg scene between Dazai and Fyodor. that’s the only thing i’m not forgiving about this season along with Akutagawa’s smile💔💔 but overall i’m having fun as a manga reader ngl, sometimes people go way too far to shit on everything without seeing anything positive. with this fast pacing, i’m genuinely curious if we’ll get to see chapter 109 this season. it would be a great cliffhanger LMAOOOOO
Bruh- That would be too overkill. Having both 88 and 101 in the same season is already enough.
@@HannahS65 naa, we need more insane shit in the same season. jokes aside tho, i was trying to predict using how many pages they animate per episode and it kinda fits
I'm curious to see where they leave off too. Going all the way to 109 would be insane haha
@@veridian4433 yeah! that’s why it would be hilarious ngl, since after all of it what anime onlies AND manga readers will have is only chapter 110, which was.. quite short
OH DO I HAVE NEWS FOR YOUUU
me honestly, no matter what studio bones does, i'll NEVER forgive them for taking akutagawa's smile away. personal grudges.
That, and Ango at Oda's grave. It was an instrumental panel in humanising a character that already gets scrutinised and labeled a heartless traitor by the fandom.

The anime is in the Vampire Outbreak Arc. The manga...is also in the Vampire Outbreak Arc. Looks like we'll see Season 6 in 2030 if we're lucky.
Best thing about bunguo stray dogs is that its JUST UNPREDICTABLE
The characters are so smart you cant imagine what happens next thats what makes it so good

It's not likely they'll make a beast anime, since it already has 3 different adaptations😭 I'd still love to see it animated
@@Kittycanon3000 yeah they’ll probably do it within the show to fill season six if anything
but not only the characters are amazing but fyodor’s plans are just amazingly built up in the series and it really makes you think fyodor is a mastermind, and that’s difficult to make. Its a very original anime in all aspects, characters, abilities everything . Asagiri just thought about everything just amazing :)
I think it was rushed because as they wait for content for S6 they can animate other BSD content like Beast or Storm-bringer or even the light novels like Dazais entrance exam.

Its also something people would like to see, a BEAST production is definitely something I would watch since the story is an interesting concept despite also being fast paced.
Season 5 was a cliffhanger decay of angels is far from done
I do agree though, all that cut content could have really been used to benefit the pacing for the series… especially when the source is a monthly manga! It doesn’t benefit to rush through precious material, but I’m still happy with it (as long as I watch the anime first, then read the manga, other way and it’d be a slightly different story-)
When im reading the manga its not rushed at all the mangas just better but because bones cuts alot of scenes it feels very rushed when watching
As someone who watched it in a few days, no it isn't rushed, trying to be Different isn't exactly being different just an idiot
but another problem is that reading the manga chapters monthly feels extremely slow, its like asagiri doesnt care about us manga readers at all, sadly
@@laibahmuntahahave you seen the health of mangakas who update weekly? Why do you think Hunter x Hunter had such a long break? He’s thinking of himself first which is good.

watching the last seasons of bsd felt really fast paced and a lot of shit was going down but honestly i enjoyed it
BSD has some REALLY well-written female characters!
We need s4 s5 reboot.
I hope in future this anime becomes a classic so in future we might get reboot just like Captain Tsubasa or Sailor Moon.
i just finished the whole series in a week-non-stop and damn i do agree that it's rushed BUT also a masterpiece, i feel like there are conflicts that hadn't finished but somehow the show just shifted into another conflict or a new one, atp i don't know what happened to margaret, how about the rest of the port mafia that ended up being vampires? heck i even forgot where was kyouka within the whole s5 ToT

Sigma was dead just like that!!! Im really upset how they left him behind

Like I mean the portway to the sky portion ALONE has been ongoing for I think longer than the entirety of the main plot in season 3 episode count wise... and that's with there being more chapters per episode... if they went at the normal pace, we'd probably be left there even longer... and don't get me wrong, I love the airport part... but then if they went slower we'd probably be stuck on a cliffhanger from season 5 where we're still in the airport or mersault...
I mean also consider how not only did they adapt more chapters per episode but they deigned to not have a backstory arc in Season 5 at all unless they tag it in at the end... it makes it feel like they knew they'd need to pump out a lot to make it get to a good stopping point... there still are definitely some issues and honestly they should have waited a season so there'd be a few extra chapters for them to work with cause as is it is... they're gonna run out of chapters before getting to the end of the season
In both manga and anime, Stray Dogs seems to just want to speedrun everything, to the detriment of... well, everything.
I also was starting to realize how rushed season 5 was feeling. Random new characters being introduced, questionable planning by the villians
I think the rushing is kinda part of the theme in bsd
I agree with you. I haven't read the manga, but I have a friend who spoiled me a lot. Judging by the things she told me, I thought that the upcoming (at the time) season 4 should've gotten more episodes. I just intuitively felt that 13 would not be enough. But I still love thia anime with all of my heart!
They skip Sigma’s backstory I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THAM
Wish they didn’t rush it ngl but every episode I watched I read the chapters with it and the manga is supreme
Anime is still amazing though and I’m glad it’s there while reading the manga for the first time lol but I’m curious what chapter the anime will end in.
Honestly it's a shame the pacing is so fast, especially this season. They've already covered almost all the chapters of the manga so far so that'd mean we'll have to wait a few years for a new season, and I bet most people are going to get over bsd by the time a sixth season will be announced, which is kinda sad if you think about it.
I'm also kinda scared of how they're going to end this season cause this arc is far from over.. I would've said ending the season with the climax in chapter 109 would be the best option but knowing that season 5 is going to have only 10 episodes and that they just released the 8th episode last week in which they covered chapter 101, I'd say that's really improbable😭 besides, starting off season 6 with yet ANOTHER climax (the one in chapter 110) wouldn't be a good idea.. so I'm kinda curious how this season will end
People will NEVER get over bsd what r u talking abt😭 ur obviously a new fan
It would most likely end on 109 bc of the pacing or maybe rushed episodes of the light novels
@@Girlinterrupted..x I've been in the bsd fandom since 2021 so idk what you're talking about dude, yeah some don't move on but I met plenty of people that simply forgot about bsd or moved onto other fandoms who get wayy more content than we do in a shorter time span
@@Girlinterrupted..x that'd be pretty cool tho, I really hope they end the season with that chapter
@@Girlinterrupted..xpeople will get over bsd at some point like any anime. Stuff like pokemon or one piece are constantly updated so they're still relevant. But if we have to wait years before a new bsd season, all the anime fans will get over it. Bsd will still have fans but every Fandom has its 'prime' and that won't be it.
I can't completely blame Bones for the pacing to be honest. The manga's pacing is also a bit inconsistent and it goes from moving at a breakneck pace to slowing down for no reason. This is most evident with the past 20 chapters i.e the Airport and Mersault chapters. I would actually argue that Season 2 and 3 were a lot more rushed compared to Seasons 4 and 5. Season 2 in particular cut out quite a bit of content, but it seems to be fan favorite of many.
I think Asagiri might have planned it that way more and more. Now everyone is on the same page. It would explain why the chapters have been so short, he's been teasing us, and letting the anime catch up, so everyone is on the same page at the same time for once. Then the manga will start ramping up again. I hope. I'm ready for this arc to be done.
Personally, I wish they added more manga scenes, so many moments that involve Atsushi the main character have been completely cut out
To Be Honest As An Anime Only Watcher Every Thing Does Still Seems To Make Like Sense To Me. Its A Little Fast Sure, But I Don't Feel Like I'm Am Missing Anything Of Real importance.
I think It’s mainly character things like Aku smiling atsushi
Consider yourself lucky you are a minority most people profess that they haven't a clue about what is happening
You may be able to process what’s going on but they don’t give it enough time to settle in so you conceptualize it’s scope or importance… ultimately making the anime more forgettable and unrealistic in the process
@@zrakonthekrakon494people who complain that they didn't understand are not paying attention.
@@Perpetually_lostthey are not paying attention
Damn if this is rushed thank god i didn’t get obsessed with the manga lol
at this point give us a reboot 😭
LIKE IT'S REALLY GOOD BUT WHY ARE YOU RUSHING IT, YOU'RE LITERALLY GONNA PASS THE MANGA AT THIS POINT 😭
Already passed the manga with ep 11, honestly I mostly agree
Bones it's a good studio and all but they made some questionable changes,it was fine for 1-3 since, but 4-5 in the manga was jammed packed with information that got lost in the anime.
Season 5 got me frustrated for sure but like in a good way. Like I still like the anime but ugh the frustration is real.
i like how its basically adhd medications-
…..hi…….well There dead now good luck in the new chapters
Maybe the season was fast paced because of that page .... the fact that the rules had to be followed to execute it and if we see the paper ... there was so much written into one page itself ... well that would make sense
I think that season 5 pace is so fast bc they wanted to animate chapter 109 ( chuuya killing dazai ) before having to wait 3-5 years to have enough material to make another season
That scene is so iconic that's why they probably wanted to animate it to please the fans, or else we would have to wait like 5 years in order to see it animated.
Though i would probably prefere to wait a bit than to see it so rushed, like the animation/compositon is lacking compared to other seasons
Also idk why they rushed when they have 1 whole episode left for only 1 chapter of 13 pages, they could have used that to pace it better, but idk if they're going to animate unreleased chapters instead
109 wasn't out when production started
@@bandage-wasting-machine533 yeah it wasn't out publicaly but asigiri works closly with the production team so they probably already had at least a rough version of the chapter
@@stopprocrastinating4181 True
I don’t know, I loved season 5 a lot
I regret it so much that I didn't watch BSD when it first aired, cus I binged this series up to S3 a long while ago (before covid iirc) and I love it. The story honestly keeps on blowing my mind with the unexpected outcome. But then again, there's no news after that and because I binged it, my short term memory can't handle the big amount of information, especially when the story has a lot of thinking involved. My brain just couldn't remember it as clearly as the first time I watched it, hence when S4 aired, I literally have no idea what happened in S3 (Yes that's dumb, I know, sorry😭). Like, how do we get here? Who are these new red coat villains group? I also forgot most of the names😭. I still enjoy it tho, but I just wish my memory is still fresh when I finished S3 so that I can keep up with it better.
Let be honest there like only so much you can adapt
all these characters yet Akutagawa solos
Dazai, Fyodor, Ranpo, Chuuya, Fukuchi, Techou, Nikolai, Bram, Kenji, Francis, and mori 💀
@@SomeStuffNLH this is the first time I've seen someone who likes Mori😭😭
@@NeuviIletteI like him too
Think about it, without Mori, BSD would have never happened. Without Mori, the Demon Prodigy would have never existed. Without him, Beast would have never existed.@@NeuviIlette
@@SomeStuffNLH wait ur actually right-
Yeah it’s weird how the rushed the series as it continues, but it’s still enjoyable, especially season 5.
(I made a video on season 5 plz check it)
The painting is amazing in it. What are you talking about….??
I don't know quite where they could've stopped, but I feel like if they'd only adapted about 3/4ths of what they did the show would've been a lot better off
s4,5 spoiler‼️‼️
the animation, music, voice acting, composition are all great but i wish they didn’t cut out so many important scenes and remove certain character’s (akutagawa and dazai’s) personality so much
stuff like akutagawa smiling in his last moments and dazai’s expression when he was arrested/ found out fyodor was using chuuya/ died were changed a lot. details like this make characters what they are.
I have so many issues with the anime. From some drastic character changes to the turtle smiles...
5 pitbulls XD
I've always wanted to like BSG more than I actually do. to me it feels like the series is suffocating itself with too many characters and plots to pay justice to. you could fill triple the amount of pages without running out of content.
I agree with everything you say
2:11 tu tu tu tu
0:54 Episode?
Oh ho oh
You’re clearly a new fan. Its not rushed bro. They treated it with care. Even the artists and directors who are involved in the Animation said it in their tweets. And we long time fans can see it as well. Some scenes may have not appeared the way some of us want it to be. An Artist myself I can tell BSD was not rushed.
2:39 MY FAVORITE CHARACTER YAY
my friend hatws him
I ALSO LOVE HUNTING DOGS SO MUCH
More BSD vids plz
Dude I’m so stuck rn, if dazai don’t realive himself ima off myself😮💨
You clearly haven't read the manga, because the progression with monthly chapters has been extremely slow.
i have watched all 5 seasons and all movies, but still want to read manga
Which volumes are there? The ones that have not the anime adaptation I mean
i hate bones
