Also, any seinen fans here?

Also I have only seen Bungo Stray Dogs. And I more or less know the story line of Death note, but I sadly don't know the others

Also welcome to the club ( I am not sure who the oversight is here)

Thanks for the welcome! And finally, a fellow BSD fan! Anyways, who is your favorite BSD character? Mine is probably Dazai, but not for the superficial reasons (I know a lot of people just see Dazai as cool and edgy instead of actually analyzing him). He's honestly a fascinating character in terms of his alienation and "clowning". I've also read the actual book No Longer Human, so it's fun to compare BSD Dazai, real life Dazai, and Oba Yozo.

I also think that Dazai is an interesting character. But my favourites are definitely Ranpo and Chuuya.

Do you like BL?

Yeah, I actually do. Have you watched The Summer Hikaru Died? It's my favorite BL, I really recommend it.

Not yet; I'm not sure if I want to watch it. Isn't it super sad because one person dies?

Well, yes, technicaly Hikaru dies, but the real horror of it is that an entity kind of possesses his body and acts almost exactly like him, so his best friend Yoshiki is torn between accepting "Hikaru" as his friend, or not. That's kind of like the basic plot, it goes a lot deeper, but I don't want to give out spoilers. It's sad, but I'd say its more like psychological horror than straight up sad.

I am not sure if that's better. I am really weak against such things...
But maybe I will give it a try, after all, I am already traumatized (from books, Animes, Mangas), it can't get worse, right?

Is Twistet Wonderland also something with psychological horror?

Don't worry! You don't have to try it if you don't want to. I admit, even I got a little bit scared of it. But once you get used to it, it's really good. To answer your other question, Twisted Wonderland is more of a fantasy anime than a horror one. It's definitely more lighthearted, contrary to the name. It's isekai, adventure, fantasy, and school life. There's also a game, which the anime was based off of. It was a Disney x Aniplex collab.

Okay, that actually sounds good now. I am honest, I thought it was something with pure horror, but maybe I will give it a change now that you said that.

Other question, do you ship people in animes with other people? Or are you watching them without doing such things, because it doesn't fit the story?
For example, do you ship people in BSD?

I'm not like a serious shipper, but yes, I do ship characters, like Dazai x Chuuya. And I kind of ship Fyodor x Nikolai. How about you?

I think, I can be called a serious shipper...but I am not hundretprozent sure....
I looove the ship Dazai x Chuuya. Nikolai x Sigma. Or another of my favourites in BSD is Tetchō Suehiro x Saigiku Jōno.

Did you see the Anime, or read the Manga?
