#i hate that oda just uses him as comedy relief or support

[astrll-art]

actually usopp is a huge stem nerd who mixes, mashes, and melts whatever he finds just to see what happens. if u lose something there’s a 100% chance that usopp blowtorched it and it’s currently flying 5000 km/h towards a government building

Bungo Stray Dogs - Season 4 An Excitable Commentary

-omg?? tell me it's the fukuzawa-ranpo backstory, tell me it is so!!

-young oda??? my heart.

-why does ranpo's "help me, mister bodyguard" remind me of anya forger, lol

-HELLO hiro shimono, didn't expect to hear you, always the greatest pleasure

-ranpo is adorable. the world is all babies that he has to protect, tsk. adorable

-fukuzawa LITERALLY created the agency FOR ranpo, for his talent and his protection, literally his shield, i cannot. i love their story.

-everything is getting richer and richer as the story progresses. everything and everyone takes on so much more meaning.

-the bsd op and ending songs never disappoint. they all have something so nostalgic and heartfelt and dynamic in them, idk. they're like a tight tight hug that warms you and breaks you

-THE RATS FRAMED KUNIKIDA?! THAT'S SO UNFAIR!! KUNIKIDA OF ALL PEOPLE!

-i don't know when this turned into a ranpo-poe comedy act, but i love it

-THE ENDING ANIMATION, A MASTERPIECE, A MINI STORY

-hiroshi kamiya is a phenomenal va. i've followed him in quite a few roles now and just. he's. just. he is That Guy, you know?

- i really like nikolai's design???

-i really like this cast. the more i get to know them, the happier they make me

-the op song is so good. every time i sing along with that "monogatari no saki e," i feel connected to every person that's ever done the same, it's so cool

-we lost dazai AGAIN? ffs, we always lose dazai. from a practical point of view, of course, if dazai were here, it wouldn't matter that ranpo stormed off because we'd still have a second genius on the second team. BUT STILL

-gee, i can't, i love dazai's voice so much

-ranpo has lots of guts for someone who's basically defenseless. i worry.

-yes, talk to me about jester nikolai and demon fyodor, finally more info

-i hate this, BUNGO STRAY DOGS KEEPS DOING THIS, IT LURES US INTO UNGUARDED WHIMSY AND FUN AND LIGHTNESS, AND THEN FLIPS A SWITCH AND EVERYTHING GETS SAD AND DARK AND YOU'RE COMPLETELY UNPREPARED EVEN THOUGH YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER DAMMIT

-i really want to see how they'll pull off this plotline, this is an avengers-level reality-altering memory-tampering threat

-I thought that voice was familiar. yuki kaji, we meet again. is everyone from aot in bsd

-yuki kaji, man. another phenomenal va. i've seen him in a few different roles by now, and he just. he's so good. so versatile.

-is it just me being enchanted or is bsd actually really well-made animation-wise?

-CHUUYA MY MAN! TO THE RESCUE! and doing it in style! why am i tearing up

-eyyy, atsushi is using his brain well!

-they've really split up the teams in a way that they're at their weakest. no one has ranpo or dazai, so no genius intelligence, dazai and ranpo don't have anyone, so no defense, atsushi and kyoka don't have a mentor, and the port mafia trio are all basically supports. very interesting

-WHEEE GROUP LIFE COUNSELING WITH DAZAI AND FYODORRR (this anime is making me derangedddd)

-mamoru miyano's performance as dazai is inspired, i cannot

-who does the port mafia want though? dazai is too volatile. ranpo, they don't really need a genius. atsushi would clash with them at every turn. they could use tanizaki though, and i think he'd be the most okay at doing it, to protect naomi and such

-what a mindfuck

-dude, 11-year-old yosano's life is torture. that whole situation is torture, for everyone

-STOP HURTING KENJI-KUN!

-WHY ARE WE STABBING PORT MAFIA PEOPLE, THEY'RE NOT DISPENSABLE, STOP! surely tachihara and gin are fine??

-WHAT! TACHIHARA IS A SPY AND THE FIFTH HUNTING DOG?! IN OUR PORT MAFIA?! HOW DARE! HOW FUCKING DARE. yes i understand the perception right now is that the agency are terrorists and the hunting dogs aren't unjustified, BUT WE KNOW THE TRUTH SO I AM ALLOWED TO RAGE, OKAY?!

-do you ever just want to squeeze their lil chibi faces (re: the end titles)

-thank you for the acupuncture point sequel, that was a much needed comic relief, i laughed

-THEY'RE WALKING AROUND WITH STOLEN MONEY AND ERASING THE EVIDENCE, ANOTHER GEM

-dude wait, everything's paying off so nicely and coming around full circle, the metal guy and his brother from yosano's past, the writer friend's memory helping them escape, the plot is so much tighter and connected this season

-oi, ango is an ability user??

-ANGO THANK YOU

-and the Explanations For Dummies, thank you s4, thank you :')

-SURELY fyodor won't figure out dazai's communication method? surely he… *sigh*

-aha, "lol, controlling his heart rate, a classic dazai-kun party trick." y'know. the usual.

-THERE'S SOMEONE ABOVE FYODOR?!

-oh come on, it'll be us using the back of the page, right? RIGHT?!

-oh. oh no. will the arc not be resolved this season??? will it end on a cliffhanger?? i'm scared

-for a main character in an ensemble, atsushi holds his own even in this huge cast of wacky and/or charming people

-here's the thing, i really like fyodor's voice, dammit. and i like sigma.

-the hunting dogs could be heroes in their own damn story, but here i'm like I'M GONNA SLAP YOU SO HARD! but it's NOT their fault that they're the antagonists -.-

-oh. i was like, "that's a good plan, atsushi! a little gambly, but it's smart!" and then he goes "that's dazai-san's plan." yes. of course. why wouldn't it be mr heart rate's plan

-sigma basically: "i've only had this casino for eight days, but if anything happened to it, i would kill everyone in this room and then myself."

-okay, sigma gave in a little too fast to ango, but who cares

-OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE, NATHANIEL?! JUST LET US CATCH A BREAK, FYODOR, FFS

-lmfao, this outcome is the exact opposite of dazai-san's plan, nice

-okay, but. dazai has communication with ango so he gets feedback, he's in the know about what's happening outside. is someone feeding fyodor information too, or are you saying he's taken ALL of this into his calculations? surely not? surely someone's communicating with him as he's communicating with them?

-you can see dazai's mind working in light speed with every word fyodor says, heh

-mindfuck

-"you and i are powerless in the face of their intense spirits," dazai i love you

-TACHIHARAAAAA, YOU'RE PORT MAFIA, MY MAN, YOU'RE ONE OF US, TACHIHARAAAAA

-lmfao so nikolai IS alive, okay

-TO BE CONTINUED AHHHHHH

-omfg i'm gonna miss them so muchhh :"))) YES i'll start s5 in a couple of days, but that's not the point! i'll miss s4!!! everything that took place, every interaction, all of it! WHAT A RIDE!
