I took my bungou bunnies to yokohama, and me and my friend @ nekolyssi had a little too much fun! Originally posted on twitter, but posting over here too for the memories ^^
More photos after the jump... (there are a lot of pictures.)
aku bunny arrived at the art museum. what happened at this art museum? well, it's not something aku bunny really wants to talk about, but a destined meeting occurred, that's for sure.
Google maps link: Yokohama Museum of Art
Dazai stopped to admire some art.
"I could draw this too..."
maybe you'll recognize this scene from the dark era episodes...
it left a strong impression on aku-bunny as well.
aku has the best entrances.
aku-bunny didn't feel like showing off, though.
the featured exhibition was ... NOODS ...
aku-bunny wanted to give it a try too... he always tries his best.
i am proud. higuchi is proud too.
What happened at the art museum?!?!?
(You'll have to watch bsd to find out...aku-bunny really doesn't want to talk about it...)
meanwhile atsu bunny was draining his wallet directly into the crane game...
but he wants kyouka chan to cheer up, so it's for a good cause.

kyuoka-chan was really excited to ride the ferris wheel. atsu-bunny was happy to oblige, of course. atsu-bunny is a good boy.

atsu-bunny is a good boy.
later that night, we all got to ride the ferris wheel together too!
(we blasted deadly drive the full 10 min, btw.)
chuuya-bunny thought he was enjoying a peaceful afternoon with the yokohama scenery. but of course dazai-bunny showed up. :D
no one can say "no" to kyouka-chan, so we all had crepes!

kyouka-chan was excited to see the red brick buildings. atsu-bunny said "uwaaaah!"

(meanwhile)
after dazai-bunny finally left him alone, chuuya-bunny relaxed with some coffee.
(meanwhile, on the atsukyou date)
"eh-eehhhh? This is the right building, right....?"
Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/YVe2CUNNyFp
chuuya bunny also took a little stroll...
he was sure he saw someone from the ADA fighting here during the "dead apple incident" but they seemed like they were handling it.
Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/WjbCAh3mG2T2
kyouka-chan knows of so many cool buildings!
(and we can SEE this one)
Google maps link: https://goo.gl/maps/KVpYtsYzaS12
anyway, we saw a police box too.
"I'll call out a name...your name..."

aku-bunny thought this was a really cool scene in the ED too.
aku-bunny: "yatsugare no scene da."

(i'm hungry...)

okay loves, these are unfortunately only theater bonus novels and a general release has not been announced.
this means, they are not being sold in stores. they will only be given to people who go see the movie in the theater.
New short novels to be released on Dead Apple’s first 2 weeks: The first one is a “what if Akutagawa is in the Armed Detective Agency and Atsushi in the Port Mafia”. The second one is about Dazai and Chuuya’s first encounter.
Hi guys... it’s been awahile, but I wanted to clear this up for all of you.
the CHUUYA LINE in the new BSD PV:
He says “sanpin” which is an insult that means “no money and no power” and does come from meaning something like a “low-class samurai.” The phrase is kind of antiquated slang, but it was used a lot in older manga.
Here is a JP sub of the PV.
The 3P on JP sources is a joke. It’s an immature joke, because 3P is a search term for porn. Maybe they’re not familiar with the old slang, but 3P means “threesome” as in “3 people.” It doesn’t refer to a single person, but a threesome.
Okay, see ya later.
Dead Apple Trailer 2 Translation
The Ability Users using the name of literary masters
Will draw the curtain of the stage, Yokohama
Bungou x Bungou
Ability Users Battle Action
Kunikida: The Special Ability Department called the case that occurs in the span of one year as the Serial Murder of Ability Users.
Ango: I will now make a request for a momentous mission. Please dispose of the culprit, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko.
Fukuzawa: The Agency will proceed to use our full strength. Commence the investigation on this man!
Suddenly, Yokohama is swallowed by a mysterious fog
Atsushi: Just what is this fog?
Ango: The fog has covered the entirety of Yokohama and isolated us from outside interference.
Dazai: Odasaku, what you said was right. It is much more beautiful to save people.
And inside the darkness of the fog
Dazai: That is, if they’re still alive to be saved. (2)
The wounds from past long gone began to writhe
Ango: If this continues, Yokohama will be destroyed!
Chuuya: Don’t get flustered now, sanpi (1)
Kunikida: It’s not about winning or losing, but whether or not we have the will to fight!
Kyouka: I just want to show that person the world of light.
Shibusawa: Tonight, every Ability in Yokohama will be mine.
Fyodor: This is the beginning of the end.
Dazai: Just as I thought, you do need help after all.
Akutagawa: I will be the one to kill Dazai-san.
Special Abilities are unerasable scars.
Atsushi: Akutagawa!
Akutagawa: Don’t you dare order me around!
Atsushi: Everyone’s life… is burning.
Bungou Stray Dogs the Movie - DEAD APPLE
2018/3/3 (AKA. THE WAIT IS TOO LONG, BONES. AAAAAAAAAAA)
Note: (1) sanpin Can mean low ranked samurai, which can mean Chuuya sees him as a lowly person, but I’m not really sure about that. If anyone has better transliteration/translation please inform me >.>
EDIT; According to Japenese twitter, it’s 3P (3ピー)…. Chuuya called Ango a 3P which is a Japanese slang for someone who participates in sexual intercourse with two other people….. in other word, one person out of a threesome. MY FUCKING GOD.
Edit 2: At this point, I’m pretty sure it’s sanpin rather than sanpi. Low-ranked samurai, people. Not threesome, as sad as it is.
(2) The phrase has no clear subject, so it can either mean If they’re still alive to be saved or If I am alive to save them. The first one fits better thematically, but this one fits the following action of Dazai drinking something (presumably poison)
New year postcard art from Bungou Stray Dogs, comes as a bonus with advance ticket purchase for the film, which will be released in theaters in Japan on March 3, 2018.
