Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple (2018) - Fukuzawa & Mori

[muslimintp-1999-girl]

Finally watched BSD Dead Apple and all I have to say is this anime is so beautiful ❤💖💝 and I hate that I forget it sometimes and I'm so grateful for the person who translated the movie, and their little translator notes throughout the movie were so cute.

Bungo Stray Dogs: Dead Apple Movie A "HA?!" commentary, or: A play-by-play of my trying to understand what I watched.

-atsushi is 18? i thought he was 16ish

-i'm gasping in all the right places. it's all so alarming, their abilities turning against them. also what is dazai-san up to (notice how i consider him so sus that he's "dazai-san," not "my man," "my husband," or even "dazai").

-akutagawa is so chill meeting atsushi, lmao, no threat, no anger. lovely.

-interesting how "if dazai-san is to fall into enemy hands, akutagawa would rather kill him himself" but he hasn't counted the agency as enemy hands because he's never expressed this sentiment before

-lmfao, dazai, "meow." what a veiled sassy threat

-snort, literal backstabbing. poor dazai

-i've come to like akutagawa and chuuya so much more compared to the first time i saw them, when they were The Enemy. now, they're our guys from another organization.

-help me, i like dazai and chuuya's interactions so much :")

-dazai hid an antidote to what, death?!

-ARE YOU KIDDING ME, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME, WHAT KIND OF LANDING POSITION IS THAT WITH CHUUYA'S FACE IN DAZAI'S CROTCH, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THAT!

-i know he just collapses after using corruption, but this is the second time chuuya collapses around dazai and the way he collapses is just. he just. he trusts dazai so much to not harm him in this situation.

-elise-chan is an ability??!??!!

-*cough* will there be a "dazai's plan for dummies" explanation?

-atsushi landed so gently after his tiger de-transformation. adorable

-awww ranpo said he's not gifted :)

-WAIT NO, EXPLAIN! how did you protect the city, dazai?! damage mitigation? oooh wait. apart from damage mitigation Up There -as in, it would happen with or without him- he predicted chuuya would be sent in and that he'd need to be deactivated, and that was the best course of action to get to the point where the baby strays could defeat The Villain?

-oh. i'm looking up my "wtf was dazai's plan" question on reddit and while i'm getting explanations, i'm mostly getting "no one completely understands what the movie is about, but it is fun."

-okay so. dazai pretended to betray us and "joined" the bad guys (only no one actually knows about the betrayal part except the kiddies who also know it was a ploy... or don't know it was a ploy but forgive it? unclear.) in order to stop the fog from within and make sure that whatshisname shibusawa dies. he needed fyodor to create the singularity that would kill shibusawa once and for all because he couldn't touch the abilities himself without nullifying them. he got betrayed and killed by poison, as he expected (that's a very specific thing to expect), and got sucked into the dragon, predicting that chuuya would go berserk in the dragon, would punch him, and would unleash the antidote to the poison (to UNDO his death?! HIS ACTUAL DEATH?! HUH?!) so that dazai could then nullify corruption, then trusting that the baby strays would take it from there and kill WHATSHISNAME shibusawa, thus eliminating the threat that dazai was trying to annihilate. fyodor, meanwhile, got to have fun.

-errr. i mean. it's enjoyable to watch, i had my fun and clearly went insane during the dazai-chuuya interactions, the basic premise was cool, but ho hum, i don't know about the whole dazai plot. and also the baby strays talked about dazai betraying them but NO ONE asks for an explanation or questions him? atsushi says that dazai can leave the past behind once again which yeah sure, but YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HE DID OR HOW HE ENDED UP THERE WITH YOU! at that point, they DON'T know about the dragon thing and chuuya's part and so on! HUH?!

-ah, alright. reddit tells me the story comes from a light novel with a different author, not as part of the main manga timeline. then i shall treat it as i do all light novels and spin-offs, as “canon-adjacent but don’t look too closely.” i shan’t look too closely and i shan’t overthink it. reddit has once again come to the rescue.

please just take a moment with me to appreciate how "s'envoyer en l'air" has so much comedic potential as an expression considering Chuuya's ability and how much mileage two teenagers who love antagonizing each other could get out of it

Bungo Stray Dogs: DEAD APPLE

A global disaster of epic proportions is unfolding, as a strange fog reveals the tragic suicides of ability users. In an effort to get to the bottom of these unexplained fatalities, the Armed Detective Agency launches a full-scale investigation. Their task is to uncover the identity of a mysterious and dangerous ability user known as the "Collector", who might be manipulating events behind the scenes. The stakes are high and there is no room for error, as the Armed Detective Agency races against time to save not only Yokohama, but the entire world from the Collector's malevolent plot. Joining forces with the deeply feared Port Mafia, the agency's trust and bravery will be put to the test like never before.

Ahh BSD, my love, I have not forsaken you.

These little guys are gonna be a keychain and are currently living it up as a mini sticker sheet. I'm very excited about them 😊

The way the "lap" scene is done in the Dead Apple stage play is just so soft and intimate. I love how tender it is 😭
