Bungo Stray Dogs Episode 5: Murder on D Street

Ranpo absolutely carried this episode 😂 his roast of Minoura was legendary, and Dazai just drifting into a crime scene like it’s normal life had me wheezing 💀 The river case twist plus Ranpo’s calm deduction was so satisfying. Atsushi’s reaction? priceless 😳🧠

I loved this episode. A good mystery that's solved within the episode is always welcome. It reminds me of the early episodes of "Case Closed" (back when the criminals didn't have engineering degrees). The explanations for the deductions sound quite convincing, and Rampo really comes across as a competent detective. Dazai is no slouch either; in this episode, they both establish themselves as highly intelligent. Furthermore, the case has a good dose of drama, which I personally love.

This is why Rampo was my goat! My boy was really good. I highly recommend watching this. He was a little bit goofy but when it comes to deduction, boy he was not playing around! I actually learn a lot of detective stuff here and it kind of makes sense that you’ll actually feel overthinking everything around you. And the animation effects really did not disappoint along with the background music that really fits well with the scenes.
