I'm going to commit an act of heresy and say: I think the movie was better。 While the novel explained a lot of the confusing aspects of the movie， it was very abrupt and blunt， and had the same effect as reading a very lengthy Wikipedia summary where everything was just stated plainly。 There wasn't much subtlety in the plot。 Writing style aside， I also think that this all just happened very quickly， with no time for thought。 It was one thing after another， and then it just ended。I also find it m I'm going to commit an act of heresy and say: I think the movie was better。 While the novel explained a lot of the confusing aspects of the movie， it was very abrupt and blunt， and had the same effect as reading a very lengthy Wikipedia summary where everything was just stated plainly。 There wasn't much subtlety in the plot。 Writing style aside， I also think that this all just happened very quickly， with no time for thought。 It was one thing after another， and then it just ended。I also find it mildly uncomfortable how Chuuya was given an American southern accent in this？？ Why？？ Also， I've seen a fair share of Stormbringer spoilers， （view spoiler）[where it was stated that， to activate Corruption， Chuuya had to be wearing his hat and had to say the chant， but he didn't do that during the Dragon's Head Conflict？ Only during the dragon scene？ Even though the DH conflict is set right after SB？ Also， I still can't believe Chuuya's hat is responsible for controlling Corruption。 I thought it would be something about needing to keep his hands covered because of the scenes in season 2 and the Dead Apple movie where he took his gloves off to summon it， and how he kept his hands in his pockets for all of Fifteen except for the final fight scene。 Oh well。 （hide spoiler）] But I digress。 I also found it interesting that my half-joke theory that Chuuya had to calculate things when manipulating gravity turned out to actually be kind of true。 He is， apparently， an expert at computing trajectories and factoring in mass and momentum on the spot， despite only being 16 in the scene。 Why is everyone in BSD a child prodigy？Atsushi's backstory was also interesting to see， but I wish there was more time devoted to it， and I wish the metaphors were less obvious。 But oh well， I guess。Also， that scene at the end where Ango， sitting in the middle of a bunch of empty cans of energy drinks and surrounded by files， just kind of went "we've only pulled four consecutive all-nighters， you're fine" before Tsujimura passed out was definitely a highlight of the story。 RIP Special Division's sleep schedules。 Overall， this book is pretty interesting， but I think the movie was better。 。。。more

3。5 rounded up because I unabashedly love this series。 This stands on its own despite being a novelization of the film of the same title， and the apple symbolism is both top-notch and not oversold。 Also， the author （or the translator） is aware that in the earliest versions of the Grimms' "Snow White" the wicked queen is Snow White's biological mother， not her stepmother， which earns major points from me。 3。5 rounded up because I unabashedly love this series。 This stands on its own despite being a novelization of the film of the same title， and the apple symbolism is both top-notch and not oversold。 Also， the author （or the translator） is aware that in the earliest versions of the Grimms' "Snow White" the wicked queen is Snow White's biological mother， not her stepmother， which earns major points from me。 。。。more

To me， Dead Apple is a delightful hot mess of a movie。 This light novel version is also a hot mess， though it arguably makes certain plot points a bit more clear 。 。 。 but I'm still not sure it all holds together。 But there are so many wonderful character moments that I don't really care。The light novel is at a disadvantage compared to the film， however， because so many action scenes （and a certain weirdly intimate scene between Dazai and Chuuya） just demand to be watched rather than read。Still， To me， Dead Apple is a delightful hot mess of a movie。 This light novel version is also a hot mess， though it arguably makes certain plot points a bit more clear 。 。 。 but I'm still not sure it all holds together。 But there are so many wonderful character moments that I don't really care。The light novel is at a disadvantage compared to the film， however， because so many action scenes （and a certain weirdly intimate scene between Dazai and Chuuya） just demand to be watched rather than read。Still， if you're already a fan， there's a lot to like in the light novel。 But if I were trying to get someone into Bungou Stray Dogs， I wouldn't start here。 Just like the movie， it works better if you already know the characters and their abilities。 。。。more
