I'm excited to see my beloved Sigma animated in the new BSD anime! 😍

I really love Bungo Stray Dogs so much but I don't like the fandom at all, especially the western fandom 🙄

I think the plot got too convoluted and lost the undercurrent of logic it had so. It's hard to really say what i didn't like without spoiling it for everyone else. The plot continuity was also compromised. It stopped making sense, tbh, even within the BSD universe.

That’s fair. I have to admit I needed to suspend my disbelief a few times when reading the series. I’m more excited by character development than by plot development now.

I feel like Dazai's character deserved a better arc, and development. So did Akutagawa.

What didn’t you like about the manga story? I think they kept the tension and stakes high throughout the next arc.

Very excited about this news. I finally caught up with the anime just last year after only reading the manga beforehand. The movie wasn’t too great but I’m looking forward to seeing the next manga arc(s) adapted.

...... I would have been very excited if I hadn't read the manga.... This is probably the first time that I wish they hadn't animated a series farther and left it as it is rn.... I hope they don't follow the manga and go anime original ....

But the manga is not a shounen, it's a Seinen for adult men.

It might be labeled as a seinen, but it's esentially just a shounen series at its core.

Not really. Shounen means "young boy" and it's mostly adult women in Japan who enjoy this series.
