the secret language scene the bones failed to animate, voiced by dazai and fyodor’s english voice actors (i had to) you can find this on my tiktok as well !!
I've always been a fan of Miyano Mamoru as well as a loyal listener of his songs, but the sheer talent he showcased in yesterday's episode was nothing short of mind-blowing.
The way you can hear Dazai holding back cries while simultaneously sounding goofier than ever.
The way you can tell he's speaking around a lump in his throat.
The way his voice is so strained.
Asagiri-san had mentioned that one of the key elements of animation is audio, namely in character dialogue, as it can demonstrate things that are impossible to get through with images. And I firmly believe this is the best example.
in honour of this chapter getting animated today I’d like to mention that (imo) this is one of the funniest scenes ever. like Fyodor saw the distance to the door and he’s like yeah you go Chuuya bc my ass is NOT running. i know i'm not gonna make it. absolutely not so I’m not even gonna attempt it actually
You did good Bones, you did good. Those poor artists always pull through in the really important parts. Especially with their use of color, those animators know how to weild color to hit with the most damage. Not to mention the pure beauty of the scenery and backgrounds.
Everyone pour one out for our dear bsd animators. 🥂🍻🍾
is it just me or did season 5 ep 8 soldify that it wasn't a plan? like in the manga, you think that way bc there's only sm art can show. but the anime, dazai sounded genuinely devastated. his expressions and the way his voice was so strained at the end of his speech. i don't think there is a plan, he had no choice but to kill chuuya because he thought it was the only way to get rid of dostoevsky and save the world from him. his voice sounds so similar to when he sounded when odasaku died, just so unbeliveably devastated.
