Review:
Bungo Stray Dogs seems to be stepping back to end of season 1 style, which isn’t too bad because it wasn’t as though season 1 was terrible, but it just lacks the impact and punch that the start of this season gave us. Kunikida finally does something this season as does the sister obsessed guy (I never remember his name) and while the fight is short it was interesting (though what that grape power is pretty disturbing considering the vines grow out of his neck and how would you ever he learn you had that power given most people don’t go around cutting themselves and inserting seeds into the wounds). The second half we get a lot more of Atsushi and we kind of head back down the vaguely pathetic path. Who would have thought that Dazai would actually give some practical advice?
Why didn’t someone tell Atsushi that 18 episodes ago?
All and all, this episode was okay and continues on from where we left off but isn’t exactly thrilling.
Anyway, Bungo Stray Dogs is available on Crunchyroll.
It depends on what you compare the episode to as to its worth – taking it in context with the rest of the series I’m left crushed, but up against the first, it’s not bad at all.
It is kind of similar in tone to most of the first season.
Aye, but with much less of the goofiness.
well, that was disappointing…
Compared to previous episodes this season, definitely. Compared to season 1, about average.
