#and then there the bsd anime sucks issue

[lesbianyosano]

manifesting Fukufuku dying in each others arms -> I am losing it slowly anyway thoughts on the newest chapter?

this has been sitting in my askbox since september and im really sorry anwsering took so long, but ive been trying to articulate how the last few chapters/last episode made me feel and im still not sure, because there have been so many bizzare choices made by both asagiri and the ppl behind the anime i still cant wrap my head around it fully (this got stupid long sorry)

starting with fukuzawa, i made a post a while back talking abt how i was assuming he was going to die/why it'd make a lot of sense, and there were really two main reasons for that; 1. he hasnt had anything interesting to offer for the story for a while and 2. his ability actively stops other important characters (mainly atsushi and kyouka) from further developement. the first thing is now gone which im pretty happy with! i love fukuzawa a lot so it's nice to see him finally have a purpose in the main story and im excited to see where it will go (also fukufuku you will always be famous to me <3333333), but the issue of his ability is still very much here. ive seen ppl theorize that all men are equal is just him lying and there is no ability but i honest to god would hate that, bc it would seem like such a shallow twist. atsushi's conflict with the tiger is central to his character so if it suddenly got revealed that a huge reason why he's even capable of using his power is just placebo "believe in yourself" bullshit i think i'd tear my own hair out. so im still thinking fukuzawa may get killed at some point, esp with the position he's been put into now and how much he seems to not want it.

and as for the "chuuya was never a vampire" fiasco, i honestly have no words, it was so unbelievably bad. ik there's been a ton of posts about how "its actually good" bc fyodor's death was caused by his inability to trust, and dazai's belief in his allies is what put him at an advantage, which is nice yeah, but it doesnt change how fucking stupid of a plan that was. if their goal is to kill fyodor, why not do it in that flooded room? fyodor escapes solely bc chuuya gets him out but if he was concious the entire time why not just leave him there? why continue to pretend? im usually not a huge fan of getting angry over plot holes when the narrative and themes are whats more important, but this is just so blantantly stupid. it feels like asagiri just wanted a plot twist for a plot twist's sake. mersault in general is so poorly constructed as an arc (dazai communicating via his heartbeat,,,, give me a break) but at least you'd hope it would end in a way that makes you excuse all of that, and then it doesn't. i think this post sums up how i feel about this than i ever could

and the fact that its december and we are STILL behind the fucking anime asagiri be so for real. it's easy to see now that the constant half chapters and short releases were a deliberate choice to have the anime catch up which i dont love, but fine, whatever. but now??? what the point of half releases? these chapters have been ready for a long time, and there's no way asagiri and the editors and whoever else is involved arent aware of how frustrated the readers have been for years now. the only explanation i can think of is that maybe the manga will have a different arc conclusion and ctheyre trying to idk, make it seem like we're following the anime closely? idk this shit is so stupid

overall this past arc or two have been bad, there are some elements that make them enjoyable still, but there is no theme consistency and overreliance on cliff hangers (that ppl still somehow buy). it feels like there are no stakes to the story, and that's really bad. maybe it's why i was hoping for fukuzawa to be killed alongside fukuchi idk, it'd finally feel like something is changing

on a brief positive note i quite enjoyed fyodors death, weird catholic freak, ofc nikolai is cradling your arm like this. i was a little suprised to see fyodor killed just yet (bc he always needed to die for the story to be able to wrap up eventually), but given the jesus quote, he may as well come back in some way tbh

[bannedfromthepharmacy]

That time Mori killed Odasaku was easily top ten anime betrayals.

My [probably illegal] guardian killed my father figure/best friend because of a skill issue or smth.

[tklpilled]

- i did not care for nanami from jjk and his death was only sad because of yuuji's reaction to it

- anyone who didn't like the beach episode of ohshc didn't understand the point of it at all

- i like mahito because he's a good villain and he's fun and he's pretty

- on that note i can and will overlook serious crimes committed by characters simply because they're attractive

- even ignoring the many many issues in bsd's anime adaptation, the art style they chose just kinda sucks tbh. the manga is far better

- there are unpopular m/f ships that are miles better than the popular m/m ships

- zenitsu from kny is annoying

- i like makima

- sub is not superior to dub. they're both good and if i want to watch it dubbed then i'm gonna mf watch it dubbed

who wanna hear my incredibly unpopular anime opinions

[trash-for-megane]

As much as i love bungo stray dogs, i don't think i can ever rewatch it with the amount of suicide jokes that are in the first episode alone

[dracones24]

Hello so Idk if you still do match ups if you do please do this request i will really appreciate it. I wanted to ask for my bsd match up and for basic romantic and if possible nsfw that would make the really happy me😊

Appearance: I have dark brown(close to black) hair with dark brown eyes. I wear glasses and I am 5'6.

Mental issues: I have anxiety or call it trauma or whatever. Throughout my life I have been expected to live up to my parents and relatives expectations that I have forgot how my own personality was its like a facade now. I also have abandonment issues everyone I have ever given my best just used me and left me behind. I also lost my grandfather who was very close to me he die just after I left the house making me feel maybe If I was there i might have seen him for the last time. I also overthink a lot and it depends on the situations most of the times.

Personality: I'm quite the ambrivert I like to talk to people but only talks to the people I know most of the time or just go only to few new people. I an even temper person. I like adventures that will just make you scream fear though my parents rarely let me do them. I'm bisexual but prefer men more. I am bold and can control my emotions according to the situation. I love and absolutely adore murder mysteries and love weapons. I am goofy in nature or that is how friends describe me as. I care about those who are really close to me and I'm loyal to them as well. I love collecting black mail a out people and pranking them. I 'm also said to be a funny and dirty minded tease in my friend group. I'm very confident in what I can do and I remain calm in tough situations while thinking my plans through. My friends have told me that I am quite scary when I get mad which quite rare but they did said if I get mad all hell breaks lose. I'm also artistic. I'm am the chaotic mom in my friend group who does all the chaotic stuff and cares like a overprotective mom who will kill. I like to be alone when I'm sad but I love hanging out with my friends.

This one took lots of puzzling, but I am now resdy to pair you to..... Nikolai Gogol!

If youre an anime-only fan, my apologies, I'll do my best to keep manga spoilers to a minimum, but he's in the s4 trailer so if you don't know Nikolai, at least you'll meet him soon.

Gogol is a whirlwind of a man, his sense of adventure is unmatched, you'll never ever be bored with him

He isnt the sort to be caught up on any inconsistencies in your personality, he himself has many facades, you might be the only ome who starts to see the person underneath

Nikolai adores your boldness! He would also find it very hot if you took The Lead, but he hates to feel Caged, so what he does and doesnt like can seem random. Hes quite kinky and adventurous but anything that makes him feel restricted is a no-go, which oddly does not include physical restraints.

Your teases affect him A Lot, his pupils will blow wide, and if you're in public you should probably have an iron will or else he'll probably attempt to put on a Show, right there in public!

Your abandonment issues are probably yhe only Trouble in the relationship really, because Nikolai is flighty as fuck, but for the most part his solution is just to bring you everywhere he goes, since he finds everything more spectacular with you around

If your hair is long, Nikolai would braid it like he braids his, its one of his favorite ways to show affection

Being able to keep your head when times get tough is necessary, cuz Nikolai lands you in tough spots allll the time

Every day is an adventure with him, sometimes these adventures steal your breath with adrenaline, other times... he steals your breath with filthy kisses or unexpected tender romantic words.

Nikolai tries to make you laugh as much as you make him laugh but frankly? His jokes kind of suck, hopefully you're okay with laughing At him!

Blackmail doesnt really work on him but he dooooessss love to see you pull it on others

[mrskurono]

you know what your works are top tier for real but FUCK I WANNA READ ALL OF IT BUT I DONT WATCH bungou stray dogs is that the title?

some people sometimes still read fics of a show they dont watch but i cant do that because i dont understand shit😭i once watch that show for a few episode and then i was like "what tf did i watch- what's the plot im so confused and i dont catch anything 😭😭but people keep saying its a good show so i might give it another try later😔

okay sorry for rambling thats not the point anyways i think your followers are really lucky cuz you post fics so often like damn at this point you are feeding us while we are still full LOL and i think your writings are so good? like the way you write it, the style and how you word it is like a popular official book writer????? once i've watch bsd i'll binge reading your works hehe

First lemme just-

Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🥺 To me I'll always feel like that awkward 14 yr old writing novel length fanfics on my iPod touch even now at 26 so to hear you guys genuinely enjoy it for all those years I hide it, means a lot to me so thank you so much 🥺💖

And in terms of watching something to read it, I TOTALLY get it. I don't read a lot of fan fics as it is and then reading stuff I have zero idea of the context just doesn't do anything for me. I can enjoy the writing style and stuff but have no idea what's going on so I normally skip over 😂

Bungou has always been on my "to watch list" since I came out (I just suck at watching things) And I can say the first handful of episodes are super gimmicky. It reminded me of early 2010s anime so I continued watching it as a novelty but wasn't invested. When it got more into the Atsushi/Akutagawa storyline and away from Dazai I started to get into it. The fight scenes are dope and the emotional message is fun to pick apart and analyze. Dashed with a little bit of humor (bc how can you not laugh when everyone is a walking daddy/mommy issue basket case fighting the fucking American Literature big shots) But I'm also a huge nerd and EVERYTHING has a real life connection to authors and poets so the lore is neat to pick apart. It's not like in my top 5 but definitely in my top 10 of favorites. Its worth the watch if you like shows with lore heavy relevance to real life things. Plus Atsushi is cute 😏

@florabled​ asked

1-20!

1. What would prevent you from following someone?

well, it’d probably depend on how put-together their blog looks, and i think the frequency with which they write is also important. also, someone having too many rules or rules that sound too aggressive is something that might put me off, but if i really like their muse i dunno if it’d prevent me from following.

2. Are aesthetics important to you? If they are, why?

on some level, yes. on one hand, i won’t follow someone with good graphics if their writing sucks, but it IS a little bit of a deterrent when someone doesn’t put a lot of effort into their blog graphics because if their pages and replies also seem pretty lackluster then it makes me think they just don’t care as much?

3. What current rp trend do you hate?

DEFINITELY dash-only blogs. i say this while following a lot of them, and i don’t hate the people who do have dash-only blogs, but it feels like it’s really redundant now. the trend of google doc rules started because normal rules pages aren’t very accessible to mobile users, and while i think that kind of accessibility is great.. a lot of people have rules pages that aren’t even READABLE on mobile. plus, i just like having everything in one place.

4. How do you explain rp to someone in the real world?

i dunno. if i have to, i straight up say it’s “collaborative writing, where each person writes a character and you build a story together” because it sounds less embarrassing than saying “i write anime mark twain and sometimes if i’m feeling spicy he fucks pumpkins”.

5. Do you prefer interacting with male muses or female more? Why?

i don’t think i have a preference. i definitely find myself interacting with male muses more, but that’s more because my friends tend to write male muses more than female muses.

6. Do you prefer writing male muses or female more? Why?

gender isn’t REALLY a factor in my muse choices. i have a lot more male muses than female muses, but i think that itself is more of an issue with the writing of most of the female muses in the series i like, because they seem a lot more.. stale, in most cases? then you have servamp, which only has like 4 female characters total.

7. What’s your opinion on call out posts?

if they’re not angry and opinion-based, and are well-put together with evidence from multiple sources, i might reblog it if i feel it’s relevant to warn my friends and acquaintances about someone. generally, though, i tend to stay away from them.

8. Name any three things about the rpc that bother you.

the fact that nobody seems to want to talk to eachother, the unpopularity of open starters, and people who refuse to accept that others can have headcanons different than theirs.

9. What is your opinion on exclusivity? Do you practice it? Why / why not?

i don’t mind exclusivity ever. i do very rarely practice exclusivity, because there are occasions where i’m REALLY attached to a certain bond or dynamic that has formed between my muse and my partner’s. i think all of my current exclusive relationships are with kit, but i’ve probably at least thought about being exclusive if we have a developed relationship between our muses.

10. Have you ever had a bad experience with commissions? As either someone who makes them or as someone who buys them?

i’ve actually never commissioned someone because i’m afraid of coming off as rude or demanding even though i know most artists probably WANT more commissions so they make more money.

11. What do you know now about rp that you wish you knew when you first started?

i wish i knew how important graphics were to the general community! i was a total mess with my first blog and i didn’t know how to do anything. not a lot of people wanted to interact, but i’m very grateful for the ones who did, because without them i wouldn’t be writing here!

12. Have you been involved in drama? Do you regret it?

yes. as someone who has unpopular opinions within the fandom, i have found myself caught up in petty fandom drama. the drama that most impacted me happened in the bsd fandom where i sent another rper an ask on anon and we got into a pretty short-lived but heated fight. i used to feel really bad about it, but recently i’ve realized how much they were overreacting and being kind of an asshole about it, so now when i think back on it it almost makes me laugh a little.

13. Have you ever thought about leaving rp? What caused it? What changed your mind?

i have not. yet.

14. Do you think rp has had a positive or negative affect on your life or you as a person?

overall, i think rp has been pretty positive for me. i’ve become a lot more consistent with my writing and my writing style and over the time i’ve had my blog i’ve started to get a little better at replying to more things rather than just dropping things the moment i don’t feel like writing them.

15. How has rp changed you personally?

i think i’m a lot more confident with my writing than i was beforehand. it’s nice.

16. If you could change one thing about rp on tumblr, what would it be? Why?

probably just the general divide between rpers. recently i’ve been trying to reach out to more people, but it’s a little exhausting on my mental health to do that when a lot of people generally seem like they don’t want to branch out much.

17. Have you ever sent a message to yourself on anon? Why?

the only time i can recall was sending myself asks from a headcanon meme because nobody else had sent anything and i was really bummed about it.

18. Have you ever sent hate to yourself on anon? Why?

yes. i’m not proud of it, but it happened on my old gentle blog a couple of times. i’m not sure why i did it, but i guess i just wanted to seem cool or to get attention. i’d never do that today but tbf i was like 14, shit happens. 14 year olds are just like that.

19. Do you delete anon hate or post and address it? Why?

it depends. sometimes i’ll post and address it if it’s an issue i want to address seriously. sometimes if it’s a repeat offender like the person who wants me to have less muses i’ll post it and poke fun at them. other times, like in the case of the really creepy and weird anons i kept getting before, i’ll delete the ask and block the anon.

20. Have you ever felt pressured to write something you weren’t comfortable with?

not recently, but yes. on my very first blog i had a hard time saying no to an oc that REALLY wanted to ship with my muse, and it honestly made me uncomfortable enough to leave that blog and make a new one. i also had some bad experiences on the site i USED to rp on where someone pushed me into rping smut when i was still like 13-14. bad times, man.

kw strikes again.     /     accepting.

Top 5 Anime Characters

ltagged by @paralllaxes (thank you! ^-^)

rules: list your five favorite anime characters and then tag five other people

okay, let’s see! I want to go in reverse order... oh, but just choosing five is so hard, ahaha. Ummm...

5. Miki Sayaka (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Sayaka, Sayaka, Sayaka. I love her! From her bold personality to her musical theme, everything about her is just so much fun! And that one scene with Elsa Maria... gives me chills every time. I may or may not have learned to play her theme songs. I had to do it.

4. Akemi Homura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica)

Homura-chaaaaaaan, why are you so cool? The mysterious transfer student who’s quite literally from Madoka’s dreams, Homura's quite possibly the most intriguing character of the series. She’s got a lot of facets to her and I love them all. Plus, look at that hair. L’oreal, because Madoka is worth it...

3. Asuka Langley Soryu (Neon Genesis Evangelion)

Asuka! My girl! With her fiery personality and equally fiery hair, I can’t lie--she basically showed up on screen and immediately grabbed my attention. Later on, though, was when I really got attached to her. Watching the amount of pain she went through and her desperate need to be seen... oh, yeah. Attack my emotions like that and there’s no way I can escape.

2. Mihael ‘Mello’ Keehl (Death Note)

Mello... how do I possibly explain this. He’s really relatable, okay? With a taste for leather and for chocolate, a writing habit, some emotional issues, and a massive inferiority complex, uh, well, color me attached. Really attached. But if you follow this blog you’ve probably figured that out by now. It’s hard not to love someone who I can relate so much to, even though as a person, he’s pretty awful... Mello, please stop killing people. It’s really weird to say I relate to a mafia boss, isn’t it...

1. L Lawliet (Death Note)

That’s right, it’s the frog detective we all know and love! I freely admit it, from the absolute moment he showed up on my screen I pretty much knew I was going to love him, and the more he did, the more obvious it became. I’m such a sucker for the genius detective archetype, particularly the ‘odd’ ones(Sherlock Holmes, Edogawa Ranpo(the BSD edition, not the real-life one, haha), that frog right there...). It’s been that way ever since I was young and I doubt it’s going to stop any time soon, to be honest. Mello sort of snuck up on me in terms of appreciation, but L was like a punch to the face. ‘You will appreciate this character!’

Again, he’s... not that great a person, but I love him anyway. 

Plus, he’s relatable too... he acts... so much like me... this is why I armchair diagnose him... but this isn’t the time to be dying on any hills. I have people to tag!

@shadows-in-the-light-of-day @daughter-of-gray @kira-sucks-lawlipops@bananatrashsenpai @lowkeylightyagami 

Again, only if you guys want to, of course ^-^

[avoresmith]

borderline-baddie replied to your post: bungou stray dogs

You literally put everything I feel about this anime into words I had no idea how much I hated atsushi until now

you know he wouldn’t even be that bad if he wasn’t the perspective character, I guess he would be another tanizaki or kenji who ALSO have no motivation or character arc or plot relevance but you know, they’re charming enough? cute tertiary characters are fine. 

(actually bsd largely has an issue with narratively redundant characters but that’s another rant)

but as soon as you realize kyouka could have served all the exact same purposes while also having her own character arc, from the get go, it’s hard to not be bitter.

/mumbles she even has more interesting dynamic with telling Akutagawa to suck it, because he actually cares about her and wanted to help her in his own way but actually just fucked her up worse and she is both justifiably mad but also values his opinion and ??? ???? ???? am i to believe that Kyouka wOULDN’T, if learning from Dazai, tell Akutagawa to sTOP BEING A MURDER DOG?

/whispers atsushi isn’t doing a single thing kyouka couldn’t be doing, better

[bi-dazai]

a lot of these arent finalised frames and shots, some more complete than others. Deku's smash towards amajiki is a reused animation

Just to clarify I actually have very few issues with this, HOWEVER what would be nice if anime seasons took a few years to make so animators aren't being pushed to the brink. I appreciate bsd and jjba for that, because the animation is always top tier and the crew and cast are much more genuinely happy to talk about it because they get more leeway and more time to perfect the final project.

Bnha is arguably a massive import and one of the highest grossing profits for bones, so I know WHY they chose to release a less-than-completed version of the season on time rather than give it the extra months that employees missed with quarantine. It still sucks for everyone except for shareholders and the most annoying fans tbh.
