Dazai played a very sinister move with that Fitzgerald collab. Finally the demon Fyodor was captured but he still seems terrifying in defeat. Hope there will be season 4, but it seems likely that this is the best way to conclude the series.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

There are plenty of pretty cringy lines in this show but this episode went all out with those cheesy lines that I had cringe chills throughout the first half.

Pretty disappointed we didn't get to see anything of Chuuya and Ranpo after they went in the book and honestly, the majority of the other characters doing anything for this finale.

Well at least we get to see Kyouka in a new attire.

I don't know what it is about this series that I can never bring myself to give it more or less than a 7. The order I enjoyed the seasons is 2>1>3, but the difference from season to season is minimal. On one hand, it's a good thing that the series is consistent in quality, though on the other, it's beginning to feel static.

The battles are cool and flashy, but how many times can the Detective Agency and Port Mafia fight each other and/or team up to fight someone else in brawls that don't result in any significant deaths or lasting consequences? With the way people are hyping Fyodor up, I have high hopes for S4. He had a cool introduction episode, though sort of seemed to peter out after that.

It was nice seeing the main characters vulnerable and out smarted by Fydor. One of my problems with this series is how everything is too convenient and how Dazai is just too smart. Sure by the end he figures it out again, but at least for a few episodes it wasn't just cut and dry.

It was nowhere near as good as the 2nd imo. This season really stuttered hard in the middle but the last few episodes have been good.

Obviously Dazai was going to outsmart Fyodor in the end, but the way the show went about it made the whole thing feel way too easy and convenient, almost as if it isn't really over and as if Fyodor isn't finished just yet. Still, seeing Atsushi and Akutagawa work so well together (even more so than in the fight against Fitzgerald) was interesting.

However, this season wasn't as good as season 2 and probably about on par with season 1 in terms of quality. Once it got going, the Fyodor stuff was really interesting and he posed a unique threat to the Detective Agency and Port Mafia, but the problem is it took half the series to even get to that point. And that was after wasting three episodes on some meaningless Dazai and Chuuya flashbacks, then a further couple of episodes of pointless comedy that did nothing for the series.

Good but not as good as I was hoping. I was hoping for more out of this season but it had the atmosphere of: Hey we randomly got a season 3 so uh...we can't believe it either, watch us do our usual thing. And that was it for the entire season. Fyodor was a unique villain but the resolution felt kinda underwhelming considering the set up. I wasn't expecting a big battle with him in the end but...I was just expecting more like clash of ideals or something at the very end and him seeing everything unravel in front of his eyes. Idk....but either way it was an okay season. About a mild 7 out of 10 for me.
Don't believe the hype.

i wouldn't go as far as to say that , that stuff was pointless but yeah I get that this season wasn't as good as the last but it was better than the first I would argue and that those pointless stuff served the purpose of characterization and downtime.

I love the prequel arcs and they’re by far my favorite part of the show. But this season could have done without it in my opinion. The best and most compelling arc was between Fyodor and Dazai and it just seemed to rushed. I think if the fourth season can get the 24 episode treatment that it deserves it will work out a lot better. My favorite parts were definitely the mind games between Fyodor and Dazai it really gave me L and Light vibes so I wish we could have seen more of that. Over all the season was pretty good. Not as good as season two but it was pretty solid. 7/10
how was it rushed everything moved in coherent and fluid manner?

Damn, din't expect taht awesoem fusion between Atsushi and Akutagawa powers, but they were pretty strong together, and Atsushi looked really cool!

Obvious Dazai would find Fyodor, while Fyodor was distracted with the hideout, Dazai decided to use Guild leader to help him find Fyodor, i love the face of Fyodor when he realized that Dazai found him, i wonder what is Fyodor's powers!

Rampo telling he resolved the novel, and telling that Chuuya is still inside defeating everyone :D

That end part was great, and looking forward to see Atsushi vs Akutagawa, they dont like each other, but they have an awesoem relationship, like Dazai and Chuuya!

9 out of 10 for me!

This season was awesome. When I first saw BSD, I thought it was so-so. I wasn't too impressed. The second season wowed me so I rewatched the first season and appreciated it more. This season was even better than the first two. Fyodor was my favorite villain, more than Akutagawa and everyone else.

I loved how Akutagawa and Atsushi combined their skills to defeat Ivan. Also, I had a strong feeling Dazai was going to be the one to catch Fyodor. Even though I was correct, I still enjoyed that scene a lot.

For a moment, I felt like the fight with Atsushi and Akutagawa was a bit over-hyped within the show... Especially with the music. I don't know why, but I felt a wave of second-hand embarrassment while watching. However, I really enjoyed from directly after their tag-team fight to the end of the episode. I'm crazy about Dazai and how smart he is! At first, I was shocked that Fyodor had gotten the better of Dazai, but the season ended the right way (for me). Now, I'm wondering what to expect for season 4.

I was really hyped for this season as a manga reader but I feel let down in a lot of ways. 6 or 7 out of 10 for the whole season. It had a rushed feeling all the way to the very end.

As for this episode, eh... I imagined the Atsushi/Akutagawa fight to be a bit more epic in my head when I was reading the manga. It felt kinda corny here //shrug//

If they make a season 4 I hope they pace things a bit better. A lot of my favorite parts are still yet to come.

I really want the Fourth season. Since I started this anime I can't stop. It's beautiful! The animation, the dub, the comical and deeply characters... All these facts contributes to great anime.

AND THE SOUNDTRACK

I LOVE ALL THE ENDINGS
AND I LIKE ALL THE OPENINGS

I so anxious to the 4th season AAAAA

Ivan is pretty creepy, especially his expression.

Atsushi looks great with Rashomon. His and Akutagawa's skill combination was amazing.

Fyodor really is full of trick, but Dazai still managed to find him thanks to Fitzgerald's Eyes of God. Fyodor's reaction was priceless. After that we get to see his ability again, what it is is still a mystery.

The anime starts with Atsushi and Dazai in sunset, and ends with it too. Pretty good season overall despite its many flaws. Definitely looking for Season 4.

Great finale, But can't hide the fact that this season felt very rushed! 12 episodes is too short and it gave a lot of pacing issues.

Felt like a roller coaster season to me...1st arc was great, middle filler arc was bleh, beginning of the Fyodor arc was good, then these last couple eps were disappointing.

Ikr , Bones rushed the show and took out several scenes that were in the manga, if there's a 4th season, i hope they don't give us the 3/4 backstory episods cause shit's going down in the manga , you should probably read it !

i enjoyed this season but i agree that there were pacing issues.

finale was epic because of akutagawa x atsushi combined ability, but it feels a bit cheap (?) how easily dazai out-smarted fyodor. however, according to comments here, fyodor arc isn't over yet so that's good i guess.

anyway looking forward to S4 of the anime /o/

THAT LAST SHOT OF DAZAI IN THE SUNSET WHEN HES LIKE “to stray dogs”. My heart literally gave up on me
Hes so beautiful and a smart ass but also a whole dumbass,i love him.

Anyways,this was a good season! Maybe bc i watched the other 2 season some time ago it felt a but off but thats on me and I’ll read the manga to make up for it.
I hope season 4 comes out...soon unlike this one that took quite some time

After I binge watched BSD can't helped but compare it to S2, I completely agree with you there. And yes I still love them! Looking forward to S4, I will hold to Akutagawa that he will kill Atsushi after 6mos. (hehehe). The ending was heart warming when Dazai tossed with Stray Dogs, he saw his friend Oda...

3/10 worst season ever
adapting flash backs as starting episodes
making it episodic
worst decision ever
while the manga is masterpiece in pacing
everybody wants to see Fyodor and what is he going to do
BUT NO
flash backs
episodic bullshit
then when the audience is bored we return to plot after finishing half the season

Too many mysteries , but I don’t think we’ve seen the end of him .

I can totally see there being another season with how they ended things . Hopefully, there’s enough material.

Pretty disappointed with this season and pretty much the whole series. What is the point introducing high stakes in Season 2 and Season 3 when everyone survives ? It seems only no name characters get killed.

Also Dazai figuring everything out all the time its getting annoying pretty quickly.

I give it a 6 for season.

Season 04 is much more interesting , Dazai's having troubles against Fyodor !
