| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now that's some catchy music they used for the series' finale. For what's worth, we got a big fight with clash of supernatural abilities in the finale. What a dream team of Atsushi and Akutagawa. Rats in the House of the Dead is turning out to be a far more dangerous organization than I had thought. The episode made a very thrilling experience tbh. What a season. 8/10. |

| Lol Fyodor was captured in the end. It seems that this arc started late but it was good. Anyway, I was a bit worried after some episodes in the middle but I think that this third season was decent. Not very good as S2. Now, I want S4. 7/10 for the anime. |

| Less than a day until virus. Oh, so Toriumi-san's character works for Ishida-san's character. He appeared to block that guy from getting captured by the two. Rock can be returned, even if getting attacked. After both of them worked together, they only got the doll. There are two on the helicopter who investigating the outside, and saw who got bomb. OnoKen's character helped main guy out w. his jacket w. ability to be transparent lend. The two groups worked together w. other members waited for that guy who escaped. Ishida-san's character already ran away, or rather, he was not in there to begin with? w. the radio. Mamo's character found out where he is. Sakurai-san's character helped out in finding him. FukuJun's character and his team arrived. Party time? HiroC's character is out from the book. Boss forgive those who disobeyed his order and continued fighting. It seems like the two made some kind of promise, for the "love" of Mamo's character. Cheers to Stray Dogs. IN during the fight against Toriumi-san's character: "WRIGHT LEFT" by SCREEN mode, includes in Yakusoku no Sora (約束の空) mini album releasing on July 3. https://screenmode.net/contents/253030 |

| OMG this was BSD at it's best so far. The next gen of the duo is here, the weretiger and wretched dog fighting together was just freaking awesome. "Beast beneath the Moonlight,Rashoumon! Kokuto Zessou!" what a spectacular move that was. Also damm Dazai found out Fyodor, I totally thght he was gonna escape this time too but no Dazai was just sitting there lmao. I really loved this season. Just hope new season comes out ASAP. |

| I see they saved the best for the end. But still, for most of the time this season was a snoozefest. |
 |
| Well, it's over, for now. I pretty great season overall, with a lot ups and downs. Some parts could have been done a bit better in all honesty. It's pretty obvious that Fyodor's storyline isn't over yet, and there's more to tell. So I hope that when season 4 comes, Bones finally gives the series the 24 episode treatment, since Fyodor's story is very long and there's just too much to tell for just another 12 episode season. And hopefully, they don't adapt any more prequel arcs, since as good as they are, they screw up the pacing and result in parts of the present day storyline being rushed, like some parts this season. |
| That was amazing! A lot of people are saying they didn't like, and yes it wan't as flashy as season 2 but to be honest, i thought the mind games this season were what really made instead of the action. Some awesome new characters were introduced and the character development was perfection so i LOVED this season. That moment with Atsushi & Akutagawa combining their ability... goosebumps, chills, fucking fantastic. I love that Atsushi and Akutagawa reflect not only a younger version of Dazai and Oda but also a younger Mori and Fukuzawa too. I'm gonna keep my fingers and my toes crossed for a season 4 cause i seriously can't get enough of this anime! |
 |
| Well, it has ended. Akutagawa vs. Atsushi is something to be hype of. hope we can get a season 4 soon I'll miss this. |

| Holy shit those final moments of this episode were absolutely amazing, so badass seeing Dazai and Fitzgerald there all smug like. Also sasuga Chuuya, couldn't solve the mystery so just resorted to beating everyone up. Would've given this 8/10 because the fight wasn't too thrilling tbh, but the whole last part made it up. 9/10 sadly no more shipping moments after the beginning |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| Against all odds, the episode didn't felt rushed. Some may argue that the part where Dostoevsky is arrested by Ango felt anticlimactic considering the build up he had this season, but that part was anticlimatic too in the manga and so it is okay, I guess. The fight of Atsushi + Akutagawa against Goncharov was great, I feared they would rush it due being the final episode, but it was pretty hype and Atsushi claded with Akutagawa's Rashoumon coat was probably the most badass thing of the season. Goncharov also felt more deranged than in the manga, probably because his facial expressions were in motion and due the voice acting (props to Kousuke Toriumi). Also, I'm not the biggest fan of BGS's comedy, but I admit the moment where Fukuzawa and Mori punched Pushkin at the same time for all the troubles he caused reacted a chuckle out of me. And this season finally ends. Honestly, I consider this the weakest out of the three. While season one was hit or miss, it had a great last episode that started the best arc of the series, and the second season had both the Dark Era and the Guild arc (AKA best arc of the series). This one, on the other hand, had Chuuya's backstory (that had some good moments, but, since I don't care about Chuuya too much, I was pretty much indifferent to the whole thing), a bunch of episodes who looked more like side stories (but it is okay, since it gave Lucy more screentime) and the part of the Agency vs the Mafia with Dostoevsky and his lackeys manipulating the conflict behind them, who was by far the best of the season. Not bad content, but quite underwhelming compared with the second season. Also the ending scene wasn't as hyping as the one from the Guild arc, with Dostoevsky's reveal. I'm also disappointed that they didn't do justice to Atsushi's backstory and that they omitted Steinbeck and his new Guild (+ Hawthorne's fate), but, well, it could had been worse. Lastly, I wish Bones doesn't takes long to announce a 4th season. |
 |
| Love the face of Fyodor when he realized Dazai had him. |
| Sad to see this season finish so quickly. I'm excited for Season 4. The Atsushi and Akutagawa rivalry is a really nice development. Dazai still being a badass. |
 |
| i'm kinda disappointed with how everything turned out , It felt cheap in a way , especially after that amazing introduction of Fyodor . A step down from season 2 but overall it's Still good . 7/10 |
| This season wasn't as action packed like season 2 but it's still very good. The final fight was alright but the constant chess game between Fyodor and Dazai is the driving point in my opinion. |
 |
| Definitely not better than the previous two seasons, but still all the more enjoyable, imo. Hope s4 gets announced soon. |
 |
| I honestly feel that BSD is a very great show when it is away from the battles. This season started strongly and I thought that Fyodor was going to be such a cool enemy but he wasn't given enough air time. The show squandered so much time on the forgettable battles between Port Mafia and Armed Detective Agency which could have been spent on further characterizing Fyodor. Also, I still don't understand why Dazai deliberately got shot? Could someone explain? Nonetheless, it was a 8+1(cuz Dazai)/10 = 9/10 season for me. |

| This felt so incomplete. I wish one of the bosses actually died so that the characters would have to face the consequences of it. I wonder if Dazai's character is ever going to grow. Akutagawa and Atsushi's combined power was a bit too convenient. I wish they'd used a solution with a proper build-up. |

Dazai wanted to get information about Pushkin and his ability, which is why he let himself be shot. He expected Fyodor to be prepared and shoot him, and Fyodor expected Dazai to find him. Also don't worry, Fyodor's storyline isn't over yet. There's still more to tell. |
| Seeing Francis again was nice way to end the series. Chuuya is still in the book lol. Will he ever get out... |
| Too bad Dazai's warning came too late. Still that virus really is potent. The chase though sure was fun as was the subsequent battle as it allowed the creation of some excellent teamwork between Atsushi and Akutagawa. Atsushi looks twice as cool in black actually. The confrontation of the plague master by the combined forces of the PM and the agency sure was fun as it showed a rare occurrence of the the two standing side by side. While the rat may have been nimble and cunning Dazai was every bit his equal lol. The guild's intervention though was quite surprising. The final scenes on the ship was quite amusing especially the axe part. Still it was nice to end the arc with a peaceful scene like this. An excellent end to the season with a perfect blend of action, revelation and closure. |

| This was a pretty decent finale to this season. I almost struggle to believe that we will be getting a fourth season, unfortunately. Does anyone know how this show is doing in Japan? Kinda fucked that Goncharov is so obsessive over Fyodor that he would skin his face should his master request it of him. That level of obsession isn't unheard of, though. Still not sure why Atsushi is using a tram to catch up with this guy. He showed us last episode he's fast enough to do it without breaking a sweat. You can't even say he is doing it to make sure Akutagawa isn't alone. It would be easy: Run ahead, grab virus gifted, return to Akutagawa. It wouldn't take very long. At least it was amusing seeing Akutagawa ride on Atsushi's back. The Precipice (Goncharov's ability) is pretty cool. Controlling earth to that extent does seem sort of situational, depending on what "earth" is defined as, but in this case it was quite deadly. The Rats sure sent out a lot of scapegoats to try and throw everyone off of Fyodor's tracks. That rock technique was a pretty intelligent application of the Precipice. That was a pretty realistic golem... This Goncharov guy is fucking nuts. Poor hiker. Weird time to get philosophical, Akutagawa. Admittedly, the combination of Akutagawa and Atsushi's abilities was extremely badass. Atushi looks amazing wearing Akutagawa's coat. That's an interesting trick, using classical music to convey orders. Why would Goncharov tell Atsushi and Akutagawa what their strategy was? Fyodor's look of despair and fear was pretty good. Nice to see Dazai serve him. I had completely forgotten that Francis had returned earlier this season. At least his return wasn't for nothing. Kenji's enthusiasm over getting axed was amusing. What's stopping Akutagawa from breaking his promise and killing Atushi anyways? I, unfortunately, found this third season of Bungou Stray Dogs to be wonderfully anticlimactic. While the animation made a notable improvement over its quality from the previous seasons, that is essentially all I can say that improved. I believe this to be more of a problem with the source material (although it also seems some anime-only material was shit too), but this season just missed the mark for me. There were too many instances where characters did stupid shit that I just can't give this as good of a score as the second season. Maybe the first and second season had just as much of this dumb bullshit, but I certainly didn't notice it as much there. Between Atsushi's power being wildly inconsistent to characters appearing and disappearing for no reason (what happened to Natsume Sōseki? Did he really just appear for twenty seconds then vanish?). This season was good, and there were some great moments in here, but it didn't achieve the level I believe the second season was able to reach. I'll give it a high 7/10. It's on par with the first season. |
| Saved the best for last huh, everything got wrapped up nicely, sasuga BONES! Loved the action and Fyodor's WTF reaction when Dazai was right there sipping coffee, Dazai wasnt like "Surprise MF" but more like "Bitch please" This season as a whole was pretty weak compared to the prev ones but nonetheless still fun. 6/10. S4 when!? |
  |
| So in the end Dazai was able to outwit Fyodor....btw who is that guy with Dazai????? |
| I feel like this season wasnt as great as the previous one but I still enjoyed it for the most part. Since there still seem to be some loose threads regarding Fyodor's story, I wouldn't be surprised if we got a 4th season. I doubted we would even get a 3rd season but we did, so I won't count out the possibility of a 4th season to see the story go on. 7/10. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Overall i think i like the soundtrack of this season the most compared to the other XP lily and the op by granrodeo are really catchy and unskippable every episode Dazai is always cute but i wish he was more involved as usually he cleans up the messes that fyodor was brewing that cafe scene reaction was the best totally worth it XD akutagawa and atsushi are a really great pair really wowed me with that combo move but i still think chuuya and dazai are the best ship i wish this season was more popular on mal cuz people are really missing out hoping for 4th season <3 10/10 |
| Not gonna lie, I chuckled at the end. the plot really has zero depth... it just feels so childish. Though, I still might give the next season a chance, because manga readers are saying that there is more story to Fyodor, and that is the only thing that seems mildly interesting about this show. |

| not as good as the first 2 seasons, but was still solid. felt kinda final tho. i dont expect a s4 |
 |
| Another strong season of Bungou Stray Dogs. Honestly it's one of my favorites in these past few years. 7.5/10 for this season. |
Fortune favours the bold!  |
| Lol, this is just the start of Fyodor’s arc. If you think Fyodor being in prison solves everything, lol then think again. The prison cell will be the man’s next operation base. The latter part of this arc (to be animated in -hopefully if it’s adapted- S4) is where things get a hell of a lot more hype and insane. Lastly, I have to say I loved this season, but some parts were rushed and a bit mishandled. The inclusion of chuuya’s backstory did disrupt the pacing of the present arc as someone pointed despite the backstory was great in itself. Oda’s story (or dazai’s backstory) was heavily tied to the main story and dazai who is pivotal characters, so its inclusion within s2 was largely justified. However, chuuya is not that of pivotal character, so his character backstory could have been done on the side especially that it doesn’t tie much with the present like dazai’s. I would give this season an 8/10, but hey I love this series, and I’m a fan, so heck I’ll give it 9/10 on a personal level. |
 |
| Atsushi and Akutagawa's team up was definitely the best part of this episode, those two were in sync once again just like in the 2nd season's ending. That fusion of their abilities was just awesome to witness! Man i really wanna know what happens next. With Fyodor still out in the open and still being as scary as ever, what could still happen? He was arrested, but i think he will break through easily, i think his major role is still yet to come into play. Well, with all of these things to look forward to, 4th season, i hope you're announced next! 9/10 |
 |
| Amazing episode seeing akutagwa and atsushi work together was amazing |
| I dunno if this season was really better than the previous one, at least the climax seemed lackluster in direct comparison, but I definitely enjoyed it more. And I agree with some users here, a prison cell won't keep Dostoyevsky in check. Looking forward to another season, hopefully we don't have to wait too long. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This was better than I ever expected. I thought they would cut lots of content for this episode, but it was awesome. I waited so much to see the "tiger ride" and that final attack. Well, they did take a liiiittle detail off... Chuuya make some noises from the book while he tries to get out there lol A very small detail, but a hilarious one (I think I know why this was made this way.) Dazai and Atsushi´s conversation is heartwarming. To those who think it ended bland, trust me. It´s a good way to end the season, since all of them actually end in a cliffhanger, though it might not look like it. Definitely the best season so far. 9/10, since even being a fan, I see all the flaws here and there, but nothing that won´t make it enjoyable. Now we wait for Storm Bringer and season 4, which probably will come next year. |
| "Could you not talk with me? I'm busy breathing." |
| Fyrdor's face when Dazai was in the cafe...wow even I was shook lol. Fantastic episode though, the music was on point, and the fusion of Atsushi and Akutagawa was amazing!! Really great episode and season. Now gimme 4! |

| I was mindblown by Atsushi in Akutagawa's ability, I thought that was the coolest thing so far. Them working together was great, they make a good team, although they'll fight again in six months. It was a bullshit sort of a rendezvous, but I will accept it. Overall this season wasn't anything special, it sidelined many things from characters to any good tangible plot. The animation was great in every way though! But sometimes those things aren't everything, what counts is how it made you feel every week. And it made me look forward to each and every episode, and i didn't high my expectations. I'll never hate this franchise honestly, even if it was this bad. 8/10 |

| i liked this season and found it much more enjoyable than season 2, this anime has a great story and great characters. i wanna see more of fyodor in season 4, the guy seems like he has a lot going on for him. |
| Decent finale. Dazai getting to Fyodor was definitely worth, that expression on Fyodor's face. xD Overall, I agree with some other people above, while it wasn't as good as the second season I still enjoyed this. It definitely feels like there's still story left as we didn't even get to hear much about Fyodor so I will definitely look forward to a 4th season. 7/10 |
 |
| I kind off din't like the show it made me cringe a little. but still good and all |
| i honestly never enjoyed the fights, especially that Atsushi and Akutagawa. If it's not because im gay of Dazai, i might have never been watching this show. But honestly though, i enjoyed this season more than the previous one. I find the guild dude's, Fyodor's and Dazai's stories very fascinating. So overall, thumbs up; 8/10. + im surprised they suddenly play Tchaikovsky's Waltz of the flower, i just listened to it before i watched it lol. |
