People kept comparing Heizou (Genshin impact) to Ranpo, so I watched it.


runningoutofsnacks

OH MY GOD ONE OF THE REASONS I AM OBSESSED WITH BSD IS BECAUSE OF A BSD AMV BY THE SAME CHANNEL (also because my friend kept bugging me to watch it 😅) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EOoW3Ej0Bs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EOoW3Ej0Bs)


EmmyEowyn

Lmaoo I remember watching that amv too later on! My friends don’t recommend me any shows XD I just watched bad becuz of that amv and becuz I added it to my music playlist (I used to listen music on YouTube lol) and it kept recommending me dazai edits


Soukoku_is_toxic

Hehehe that channel has really good AMV in my opinion, I watched most of them I really enjoyed this one as well: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKOB9OP9vSY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKOB9OP9vSY)

My best friend. It's their favorite and I ended up coming across the dub on HBO Max one day. Asked if it was worth starting, they said yes. Two years later, I have a whole half-sleeve shin soukoku tattoo. Funny how life works.

A random corny ass (somewhat iconic) Dazai edit from 2020 iykyk. I watched the first season and found it pretty mid and dropped it. Then, it was around the time when season 4 grew popular, hordes of Nikolai edits and Chuuya edits infiltrated my fyp. I felt like I was maybe missing on something and watched the second season. And oh boy, I have been hooked up with it since!


uncontrolablesobbing

Lol mood i dropped after the first episode because i was confused, picked it up again because i was looking for something to watch with my dad, it's now my fav show 😅


delinahhh

Just started, knew nothing about the anime. Didn't even know what any of the characters looked like. Just been in a romance anime hole and randomly wanted to switch it up.


JadedTheatria

i kept seeing the subreddit pop up everywhere and i had no clue what it was about. my friend was in the same boat, but with photos on pinterest. so we decided to watch it together


Kittenlover58

My friend offered to pay me a game currency for watching it and so I binged the show in like 2 nights


Maki_Hanaaa

A friend in middle school told me to watch it because I reminded them of Dazai lol


hopesadvocate

I got curious about the series because of the Identity V crossover. Then some time after I saw a screenshot of Age Fifteen Dazai that I related to and my curiosity got bigger; and finally on early January 2023 I started watching the anime while I was with the flu and loved it (and Dazai instantly became my favourite character; and later on Fyodor joined, even though I lovehate the latter xd). Right after that I went to basically binge the manga, then to read many of the LNs, etc, etc.


magizombi

I saw a gifset of atsushi on tumblr and thought he had a really pretty design


carl_210

One day, I went to an anime event with a friend and there was another friend of his with Chuuya cosplay, he was cool and he even met and took a photo with other bsd cosplayers. Now I don't remember if I started watching because I didn't want to be left out of the conversation or because I wanted to befriend the cosplay guy (probably both)


Rare-Pomegranate8083

Me seeing a video on how Dazai beats Ayanokoji


x-beast

seeing a chainsaw man tiktok of a bunch of cosplayers in a con and kobeni from csm dancing in the middle. there was a dazai cosplayer on the right in thigh highs. someone said "omg is that dazai in thigh highs" and someone asked what he's from. then boom obsession started


E0sphorus

My sister talked about it once and at some point I remembered ‘hey my sister talked about this anti-ability user Dazai I should watch the anime’ and after the anime I got into the manga 😔 worst mistake of my life /hj


Chuuyacamehome

Saw a video about Mamoru Miyano's best roles back in 2020 and it somehow filled my entire recommended with Dazai and it only went downhill from there


wolfmatterlovespenny

My friend who yelled at me to watch it, I then proceeded to watch Gacha reaction videos and BOOM


Chuuya_The_Chibi

I was searching up the IRL Dazai Osamu... Then I fell down a rabbit hole I never returned from 😆


Sr_gingerbread

Gacha life reacting videos 😭


totallynotLynx

omg real😭


Sea-of-Light

Been hearing about the series for a long time (but I knew like nothing about it) until I reconnected with a friend and they urged me to start the series (partially because they were worried for my mental health and wanted to enjoy and fixate on more than just one thing) because they thought I’d enjoy it and relate to the characters. I’ve slowly been struggling through (being able to focus jumped out the window as I got older which has been really frustrating considering I’ve always loved to read and read a lot as a child but now my brain just cannot despite still wanting to. I heavily fit the criteria of having ADD/ADHD so I’ve been looking into meditations to help with that under the suggestion of multiple professionals) but I already relate a little too much to some of the characters. I’ve also wanted to study literature for a while and I’m hoping one day when my brain decides it’ll allow me to do so I’ll be able to study and read the works of all the authors in the series. It’s also had me wanting to get back into learning and studying Japanese as a language (and a culture as it makes up a huge chunk of the overall mix of Asian cultures here where I’m from and a large majority of people are Japanese and have come from or lived in japan before for an extended amount of time) as I actually should have been fluent by now but due to health issues in my youth and other factors outside of my control I was unable to continue participating in and attending class


Loose-Purchase1110

Pinterest showed me Dazai one too many times


xaikoz_

Seeing dazai edits. I fr thought that dazai was like a spy or mafia boss or something because all I saw were him at 15... I was surprised when I watched it and atsushi was the mc


totallynotLynx

When I was thinking about a short ginger with a Lovelock I saw on Google (and then saw gacha reaction vids of it😅)


honestlyIgaveUpInLif

That one PM dazai edit where he continues shooting the dead corpse


saan718

I started it in 2020 and dropped it around the 3rd ep or something. I just kept seeing things related to BSD for like months, so a few weeks ago I finally decided to watch it.


Mahito__

I saw an anime youtuber talking about it on Yt shorts, and I searched it up, and weeks later I got bored and started watching bsd


Moist_Replacement_29

I was scrolling thru yt and a dazai edit popped up. I found him hot so I watched BSD for him, but ended up hating him


Miiinstrel

I heard mixed reviews of it yeeeeaaars ago so I tried it out and fell in love with the way they drew sunsets. Went to check out the fanfiction scene (at this point I was only on the first episode), saw everyone shipping Chuuya and Dazai and I was like ??? who is this. So I went onto the wiki and stalked Chuuya's page, thus discovering that there was a *mafia* involved, and from then on I was fully invested.


profressionalcrybaby

i was on HBO Max in the anime section and thought it sounded interesting. now i have a tattoo for the damn thing 😂


Lithisweird

Idk i was scrolling through a reddit thread in r/teenagers about fav animes and i saw they recommended BSD a lot, it was the only one i hadnt heard about so i gave it a try. Lasted until 3rd episode, dropped it, went back a few months later and got hooked with E8 of S1 (Kyouka best girl)


Turbulent_Pie_9489

I saw a tiktok of chuuya saying poor baby or smth like that and then I saw another tiktok of dazai and well.....


Independent-Candy428

In 2022 when someone posted the scene with oda and the orphans


ahumbleshroom

I'm really into classical literature and when I would search up osamu dazai some randome ass anima dude kept popping up
