Akutagawa saying the line ‘unfortunately for you, I keep my promises’…………………

[dazaistabletop]

They took all the money supposed to be used in Akutagawa's death scene to use on his revival

If there's something weird And it don't look good Who you gonna call?

GHOSTBUSTERS!

[human-adjacent]

hopefully this doesn’t mean anything but i’m noticing a pattern of dazai being excluded when the ada is brought up

[ratwars]

Do yall rememeber when that guard said something like "don't talk to him, he'll snatch your soul from your body" at the beginning of the situation with Ace?

[jounosparticles]

okay so. my current theory is that the people absorbed by the tripolar singularity are still alive but in some sort of new form. i feel that killing the singularity will force time backwards and undo the events of the attack, sparing everyone. maybe somehow the people who were absorbed by him will attack from the inside?

The sexism that bsd has Atsushi see Yosano face in the beginning of the series (when Yosano takes Atsushi shopping and Kyouka is introduced) is actually genius. It lets Asagiri blend together both irl Yosano and bsd Yosano, as irl Yosano was a feminist.

Also rereading this part after knowing her backstory is absolutely gut-wrenching because her anger at Kajii for not understanding the value of life is AHHHHHHHHH The foreshadowing for her goes so fucking hard.

and uh this panel actually took me out

why is chuuya's jacket red in s5 (+ unhinged and yet somehow still professional rant)

no seriously, why. like ok bones, i get it, the red is for blood. woohoo you know your colors. but this isn't the first time you've fucked up a character's outfit because just look at what you've done to the hunting dogs. bones. bones, look at me. i have you by the shoulders now. look. at. me. do you understand foreshadowing. or parallels. or callbacks to an earlier time. do you understand ANYTHING about narrative storytelling. chuuya's jacket was supposed to be green because then it would obviously have a bigger effect on the audience as well as dazai himself due to his past and his memories of when they first met, aka the ENTIRE FUCKING 15 ARC. the outfit similarities would be a nice callback to simpler times, to times when they had only just met and he was already practically smitten with him, and then seeing it in the prison with him as a vampire should've been soul crushing to him. it should've rightfully obliterated dazai after seeing how drastically chuuya had changed by having his humanity, the thing he was so uncertain about in his teenage years, forcibly stripped away. it should've ruined him knowing that he still viewed chuuya as human and even made it quite clear that he did back then but now he's something that isn't human. dazai should've also been pissed by this, seeing the partner he'd work with for years being reduced to a mere chess piece on the board he and fyodor are fighting for control over. and to have him show up in a similar outfit to his outfit when he was 15 should've been the damn tipping point. but no, you just had to go and make it red because "oh haha red is a prominent color this season because of vampires and blood!!" BONES. who the FUCK cares about the color. it would be so much more impactful to everyone inside AND outside the storyline if you had just altered that one, tiny detail. but you didn't. this is your downfall. the entire s5 budget went DOWN THE DRAIN because you wanted to add the sigzai dancing scene but remove dazai's capability to express human emotions which in the end makes him seem shallow and for fanservice only because he's 'visually appealing." if you fuck up the drowning speech i am going to RIOT. do NOT make him smirk, do NOT make him seem amused, and do NOT make him assume that his plan will work. no matter how he views himself, he. is. human. during that scene, he must have been willing to sacrifice even chuuya for the greater good because he's always been an 'ends justify the means' kind of guy, but that doesn't mean that he enjoys what he tried to do. sure, make him mask his concern later though. if i know one thing about this man, it's that's showing genuine emotions and baring his heart is an uncomfortable experience for him. if you can't accurate capture that within animation, then let some other studio pick up the bones of your mistakes and actually make something worthwhile.

kinda wild to me that one of the most compelling aspects of both Chuuya and Kunikida's characters to me, that I never really see talked about, is how they're heavily set on a doomed crash course towards complete and utter destruction, and how I am so, so worried for them both.....

[zenitsustherapist]

i think about this picture everyday what the fuck Elise

[manglednatalia]

Joy of my life, you are the scrunkliest

[im-a-chunky-potato]

I keep forgetting that Nikolai is supposed to be dead already- He was always meant to be sacrificed a sacrificial lamb so to speak and that doesn't bode well for his future...

[sableeira]

It’s very interesting how in this frame you can see the gun glowing red and the bullet traveling through the barrel

honestly rereading the manga has warmed me up to the idea of junichirou being chosen for the mafia swap a lot. i used to think it was kind of a boring choice but the foundations are well laid out and depending on how naomi is utilized it could be sooooo good
