The final battle against Shibusawa wasn't anything interesting either just a generic shounen mindless punchout where Atsushi believes in himself enough to defeat him. The entire time, I was thinking, "Why and how is this happening? Is that even possible?" The film tries to surprise you by pulling a completely unnecessary move (for the sake of not spoiling, I won't say what) that leads to no consequence whatsoever and was so obviously only included for shock value, and it didn't even do a good job because it's a freaking anime movie, and nothing that happens in anime movies ever matter or affect the main series.

The movie's lack of exposition only makes the confusion worse-none of what happens is ever explained, and none of the information from the main series explains it either. With all the information being thrown at your face, it's damn near impossible to piece together what the hell is going on, much less enjoy it.

It's just plain stupid.īy the climax, the movie had completely lost me. It's not artistic or poetic or thought provoking. You cannot write a complex character if you yourself are not that complex. If the audience is unable to fathom the sheer complexity of a character, there's no point in having him be that complex in the first place. His motives are unclear-he wants to die? He wants to attain the perfect ability? What in God's name does he want?! The movie shoves down your throat that this character is simply too complex a person to understand and that only two other people (Dazai <3333 and Fyodor) match his wit, but from a writing standpoint, it sounds like a poor excuse. That said, the new villain is absolutely dreadful. The fact that no character, not even the villains, are tied to the good and evil binary is one of my favorite things about the series. Kafka Asagiri lovingly crafted the entire life stories of each and every single character, and it shows without even needing a tragic flashback for most of them, even making a literal PEDOPHILE likable. BSD's strongest point is easily the lovable and empathy inducing characters.

The cause of this entire conflict is the new character that is introduced, Shibusawa Tatsuhiko. Instead, this predicament (which is made out to be this serious and daunting problem) serves as a mere triviality as the heroes of the movie take care of it in a matter of a few minutes, save for the main protagonist, which I'll get to later. This isn't a bad plot device in it of itself, if only it were an actual plot device at all.

Defeating this manifestation will return the original user's ability. The reality is that a fog causes their abilities to manifest into this ghost of sorts that attacks their own user. The story is about a series of (presumed to be) suicides by ability users using their own abilities. a confusing plot, a seizure inducing climax, and probably the dumbest and most contrived antagonist to come out of BSD. The film, however, puts them to waste with I'll start with some positives-the animation was pretty good (although that's to be expected for a feature length anime film), the voice actors did their jobs well, the music, while not exactly noteworthy, was decent, and there were a few interesting elements and events relating to the protagonist that I found to be genuinely interesting. Needless to say, Takuya Igarashi might as well be my pallbearer so that when I die, he can let me down one last time. This is coming from someone who absolutely adores the Bungou Stray Dogs series.
