Ive been watching Bungou Stray Dogs and guess what?
I made it to season four! Which means I will now speak into the void about it.
There are two characters I have a burning passion of hatred for: Atsushi and Ango. I hate them so much. For different reasons, of course. Ango is simply annoying as all hell. I dont care that he is a traitor- I just find him irritating. He walked on screen for the first time and I groaned audibly. You can tell exactly what kind of man he is by the clever animation of his glasses *pushes up from nose cutely* he says. He ruined the arc for me, no hate to his fans. And Atsushi... He made me like Akutagawa, which I never thought I would. Ever. Atsushi is so annoying with his trauma it hurts. Like yeah, you can have trauma and you can be sad about it. But do you really need to have TWO moments where you come to terms with your past to motivate you IN A ROW??? It feels so stupid when there was so much buildup for the first time and none for the second. All you did was go too close to a gasoline truck or something, dont act like this show belongs to you you are not the main character in my rendition. He feels so static, like he hasnt changed even though its obvious he has. And I was groaning throughout the entire episode when his old 'dad' (their words not fine ughhhhhh) died. THAT MAN ABUSED YOU. DONT GLORIFY HIM. Sometimes I wish he would just grow some wereballs or stop acting like hes fit for his job cuz those two things dont line up. Akutagawa is his one saving grace.
Tune in next time when I gush about how much I love Ranpo.
And for a quick treat, my list of favorites from least to most (all of these are A- to S-tier).
Akutagawa, Fyodor, Natsume, Mori, Lovecraft, Q., Poe, Francis, Junichiro, Ranpo.
See ya!
