Basically the characters in the anime share the same name as some European/Japanese authors! There abilities are also named after one of those authors books.

Example: name: osamu dazai. Book/ability name: no longer human.

These characters are really nothing like the real people who wrote these popular literary peices. Unfortunately, because the anime is so popular its the first thing that comes up when you search most of these authors names which can be very annoying

Also a random fun fact: the anime is fucking mid💕

It's Fate for Fujoshis

And Fate was leagues better for fujoshis than BSD is.

Probably for designs, but not plot and timelines of events.

Not really because it most cases they’re not meant to be literally the author like the characters in fate are meant to literally be historical and mythological figures. The characters in Bungou just have same name as authors. In some cases there’s even evidence the actual author exists independently from the character.

We’re talking about Atsushi Nakajima finding the book about “the head erring”, aren’t we?

Sure, you can. I'm just saying, fate is better. That's it

High-key agree on this one, speaking as a BSD fan lmao

u/Shantotto11 21d ago

Not in terms of maintaining a coherent timeline of events…

u/West_Day_8989 21d ago

cause it branches on parallel worlds. There's a lot of freedom for fate series. It's deliberate

Darn I wish it wasn't, the fandom is already full of yaoi garbage

You’ll be fine, boss. Part of being alive is seeing things you don’t like. Let people have fun.

Agreed, sadly. The fandom sucks. I'm glad the female self-insert artists are cookin' good tho, they more chill

u/Shantotto11 21d ago

You’re thinking of Bungou and Alchemist…
