government bureaucrat, ongo.

Oh, it kind of sounds like gunda a little bit.

Um, kind of, so it says a basic summary is that a guy works, it seems like a

guy works at a, uh, uh, an agency to hunt down on other people with powers.

It looks like.

That might actually be kinda dope, man.

They already took it down.

They heard the episode and was like, nope, nope.

Okay, okay, here we go.

So It looks, it's, it looks really cool.

I wonder if they have it dubbed.

That's the real question.

Yeah.

That's the only thing because, you know, we might have to, we might

have to redraw if it's not dubbed.

Yeah.

Because you know, we do this random stuff.

That's the Right, that's something that could happen.

That's why I was like, oh, I don't have no idea.

Wait a minute.

They have 5 seasons?

Let's see what this first episode's doing first.

Okay, let's watch the first episode.

I feel like that's fair, we're not gonna watch all 5 seasons right now anyway.

It Is this I feel like I would've heard about it, it has 5 seasons.

Wait, is it, are we on the first season?

Oh yeah, this is first season, episode one.

Okay.

And I feel like, I don't know if it just has five seasons, but you know there's

a lot of animes out there that have been going on since like the 90s, who

have no, you've never heard of them, and everyone's like, oh it's the greatest

thing ever, and you're just like, dude.

It's like, you know, in America, if you tell someone, yeah, you know the

Sopranos, and they're like, what?

And you're like, bro.

The Sopranos?

The Sopranos, like, did you not hear what I ate?

Maybe not, that's being cleared up.

The Sopranos!

What was that?

Although guaranteed anyone born after 2005 has no idea what the fuck that is.

No.

Which is crazy.

Like, to be fair with you, I honestly, is there a studio intro to this?

Wow.

Hey, you know what, this is a silence of bias first, because actually,

yeah, 24 minutes and 46 seconds, so it does have a studio intro.

Instead of it being, you know, Yeah, cool.

Uh, so guys, this is gonna be, uh, Bungo Stray Dogs.

Yeah, so what's going on here?

Let's start the episode.

We, uh, rolled the dice and this is what we came up with.

Right, so I'm gonna start this episode in 3, 2, 1.

Hold on.

I don't feel like, you know.

Oh wow, pulling out the jack, huh?

Yep, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tennessee is in the house.

So he knows how to make food.

No, he's saying he stole it.

Oh, he stole it?

He was stealing it at the orphanage.

Oh.

Damn.

This is a crazy way to start.

You got that at the orphanage, and now you tune it up on the side of the road?

M Miz got to read that?

Damn.

What the fuck?

What kind of orphanages are these?

Right.

No orphanage wants someone like you.

What the fuck?

I didn't know you had a choice.

Oh dude, you could make that mango liquid death.

A chaser.

Yeah.

How's that?

They actually go together pretty well.

Like, like, like, like the uh, mango chainsaw in the,

in the like, Jack Daniels.

Like brings it out more, which is crazy.

The police carry wallets while they're in training.

Next time, and this time I really mean it.

Good night, man!

Yeah, I'll let that one pass, thanks.

You're hungry.

Oh, he's trying to kill himself.

Do

you kill yourself everyday?

What's the stuff on the side?

The stuff being written down.

Those are the words up top.

Oh.

Cause in the dub they're translating it for you.

They're like, you motherfuckers can't speak Japanese.

We know your ass ain't reading that shit.

I'm kind of, I kind of like this art style, I'm not going to lie.

Yeah.

What's wrong with his haircut?

Let me tell you something, man.

When it comes to anime, I've stopped questioning haircuts a long time ago.

In real life, I question some people's haircuts.

I leave that shit go.

Because this whole lopsided to one thing cut, you see it, right?

Yeah.

Bro, I, I, I don't know what's going on with this, but I know

white girls who do shit like that, they're, they're interesting.

Really?

Yeah.

What does that mean?

Apparently it's significant, because the wind blew after they said his name.

Okay, man, I don't know what that means.

And I'm Derek Johnson II.

Nicholas Killian.

Pleasure to meet you.

Your haircut?

Whack!

Your style?

Whack!

Your suicide?

Whack!

Tea on rice?

That must be a Japanese thing.

I've never even conceived of that in my entire life.

Tea on rice?

Who puts rice in fucking tea?

Oh, I get it.

This is pretty Japanese.

As long as Japanese is a guess and I don't think about it.

For a good ten years.

In your past you showed little credit for that.

I'm straight from the orphanage.

I haven't been able to sleep since.

I thought I'd starve to death.

You're from the orphanage?

I was, yes.

But they kicked me out.

Sounds like a

real philanthropic organization.

Of course not, Zai.

We're not a couple of do gooders going around helping hard luck cases.

We've got a job to do.

That reminds me.

You said that your current job involves the military.

What kind of work do you do?

We're private investigators.

Of course you are.

But we handle more than lost pets and cheating spouses.

Damn, the man roasted everybody.

We're armed detective agencies.

Those were just stories.

Tales of the police or the military.

Armed force that straddled the natural and supernatural world.

Nice.

Let's see him.

All right.

Well, yeah.

Now, now you have my interest.

What is up with this guy?

Why is he keep trying to kill himself?

So I guess he can survive killing himself or else he wouldn't be fucking doing it.

Is it?

Yeah, it's fine.

I see the weeds.

A

tiger?

Yes, a ferocious man eater who was once a Alright, fingers crossed,

they come across, uh, Mike Tyson.

Yeah!

And his white Bengal tiger.

You clearly don't know anything about the thing we just said.

Tell us something you're not sure.

Tell us

what you know about it.

It's after me.

It almost killed me.

If it's been seen around here, I You'll need to pay for the food with your armor.

Tell us everything.

Now, now.

How is breaking his armor gonna get

you your money back?

Right.

Oh, that's why he got kicked out.

He must have something to do with it.

Oh, I guess not.

Yeah.

Well, we've talked about this before how Japanese have a

theme of like, they hate kids.

Yeah, you know a lot of anime they have straight adults just beating

on children and we're seeing this as Americans and they're just like They're

just knocking the shit out of the dude and like cutting off their hands.

Remember they cut the kid's hands?

Oh, it shows it's, it's like following him.

Oh dear.

This is not a bad anime.

It's going to be a slow burn.

It's very interesting.

I'm definitely involved in this.

Yeah, just going to use this bait.

Right, it's a great way to kill a tiger.

Currently penniless.

Well, I don't know how much that is.

I d I don't That's Japanese letters, or numbers.

Uh, I I I'm assuming it's a lot of money.

Yeah, clearly.

The complete guide to suicide.

So what's this guy's deal with trying to kill himself?

What's the deal with his suicide?

Hey look man, some people are into gardening.

Some people are into, you know, rollerblading.

Some people are into audio asphyxiation.

Right.

He, um, he's kind of like more into like a death kind of thing.

He's wearing a bolo, so I assume that that's probably the reason

why he wants to kill himself.

Right, I would want to kill myself if I had that on.

I mean, you could've just kicked me out.

You didn't have to say all that other shit.

Right.

You could've just said, leave.

Because the tiger's stalking you.

Not like, Yo mama's fat.

Yo daddy fat.

You get no bitches.

And your brother's poor.

Uh, don't you deal with magic?

Facts.

These are the greatest end credits I've ever seen in my frickin life.

This end There's a Well, aren't end credits usually

like something like slow paced?

These are good end credits.

I'm pretty sure this is one of those things where like, they play the

intro at the end of the first episode.

They do that every Anyway.

The theme is trash candy.

It's got a futuristic, um, Full Metal Alchemist vibe to it.

Yeah, I'm picking up a lot of like the X Men where it's like, okay, We're an

agency of superpowers and we start with people with superpowers, but also at the

same time It seems like it's own thing.

I like the art style a lot.
