We just passed the motorbike scene, Miyuu def had a moment exclaiming it's very nostalgic to hear Over Rainbow Tour, which she sang.
Folks in the chat were all also sharing comments on commemoration and appreciation for Kubodera Akira, so Miyuu also spoke about him for a while.
We are back on track talking about the episode though. Apparently part of the motorbike ride filmed from afar might have been a stunt person/two stunt people doing the drive. Miyuu's not 100% sure, claiming her memory's not the best. lol

Bungo Stray Dogs Anime Stellar Radio Interview - 09/26/2023
Sharing some points from the Anime Stellar Radio Interview with Kadokawa Producer Kurakane Chiaki.
"Asagiri supervises everything."
Kurakane shares that sensei always comes to the anime script meetings and has never missed any, despite his busy schedule.
How Kadokawa met BSD
Kurakane's first encounter with BSD was when she saw it on the cover of Young Ace. The person next to her in the office brought the magazine and she just happened to see it. She was amazed and drawn to Harukawa's character design- its beauty and originality captivated her.
About the Character Design
In BSD, the "silhoutte" of a character is very important and distinctive- even if the drawing is just all black you can tell who the character is. When they selected the main illustrator for the anime, they had animators from Bones submit their pieces anonymously. The one whose silhoutte resembled Harukawa's the most turned out to be Nobuhiro Arai (current Character Designer and Chief Animation Director).
On Atsushi as a Character
The appeal of Atsushi as a character can be seen right from the first scene. Despite thinking that he would have to steal in order to live, upon seeing someone "drowning" in the river, he still chose to save them. He could not go against his good-natured heart and character.
Dazai's Treatment to Atsushi and Akutagawa
Regarding the difference in the treatment of Dazai to Atsushi and Akutagawa, Kurakane thinks that Dazai acts like that because he believes that that is the most effective and appropriate way for each of them. Well we don't really know what Dazai is thinking, and we may not agree with his ways especially with Akutagawa, but in the end it does make Akutagawa hold on to his life (despite having an illness) and strive to become stronger. Dazai may be seeing a bigger picture than all of us and probably in his own way, acting with the words of his late friend in mind.
BSD in Real Life
One of the most memorable characters for Kurakane is Shibusawa Tatsuhiko because they got to meet and even eat together with the real literary master's wife. She also mentions that in BSD collabs with literary museums, they also sometimes meet the relatives of other literary masters.
BSD: A Ten-year Project
The anime started around 7.5 years ago, but for them in the anime production team it actually started 9 years ago. Back then, Kurakane was asked by the company's higher-ups to create something that could continue on for 10 years.
With the main anime series, movies, stage plays, games, Wan! anime, collabs, etc. here and there, Kurakane felt like she's been running for 24h for 365 days, so in all honesty, now that the 5th season is finished, she just wants to sleep well and… play with her cat at home.
Kurakane is also one of the people behind the official Twitter account. She recalls that sometimes when she tweets something late at night (while not checking the time), some fans would leave comments worrying about the staff working too much.
Lily
Kurakane shares that of all the songs in BSD, "Lily" holds a special place in her heart because she remembers Kubodera Akira- Mori's first stage actor who died in suspected suicide- saying that he likes the song a lot.
About 「未了」 (Unfinished)
In "A Perfect Murder and Murderer", the last word on the manuscript of Yokomizo- a writer- which was wet with Mushitaro's tear, is 「了」, which means "finished". To give the BSD anime a more literary feel and tone, they chose to have the 「了」.
In a similar note, while the previous BSD stage plays always ended with 「閉幕」 ("end of play" or literally "closing of curtain"), the last play: Cannibalism used the word 「了」 instead, signifying that the BSD Stage Play, as a whole piece, is "finished".
What BSD Is
Kurakane shares that BSD screenwriter Enokido Yoji once said that if a story of how one becomes successful is what a Shonen manga is, then depicting the journey of a defeated person searching for their place in this world is what Literature is.
Those words really stuck with Kurakane like a guiding principle, and so no matter what media form they create BSD in, they strive to remain faithful to its root.
BSD is relatable, as it properly shows those troubles that anyone of us may be experiencing in our lives. This theme of "struggling"- which in itself is "living"- is what they strive to keep at the heart of BSD.
Future Plans
For now Kurakane can't really say anything about the future of the anime, but as they take a rest she hopes they come up with something good for BSD, in whatever form that may be. The only clear plans that they have right now are the Gakuen game, the expo, and some collabs with museums.
BSD Media Timeline
Asagiri-sensei, Harukawa-sensei, and all the staff of BSD have done so much for us for the past decade. We really should appreciate their hard work more! Please support the official accounts and releases as much as possible!

Ok, like, nobody told me Mori's SA died last year, like how did I only found out now???? He was really on point with the character and he genuinely seemed like a nice guy...
And unfortunately it's believe he was one more victim of suicide... I learnt now, but you may rest in peace

Bugün ne yazık ki üzücü bir haberle karşı karşıyayız. Her ne kadar stage playleri sevmesem ve çok alakam olmasa da büyük bir kayıp verdik ve bu kaybı üzüntüyle karşılıyorum ve Akira'nın anısına böyle bir gönderi hazırlamak istedim.

Mondsteinflug - Akira Kubodera and Kunzite with ellorgast
For a sad reason, the passing of Akira Kubodera, we spontaneously did a memorial episode for him and his role of Kunzite in PGSM. He was an outstanding actor, versatile, charismatic, dedicated, and friendly. He was one of the most memorable actors on PGSM and we’re very sorry to have lost him. We wish his family and friends all the best.
Because I was very emotional at the time of recording, this episode is a bit more all over the place than usual, maybe not doing all of Akira Kubodera’s acting career or person justice, for which I apologize. The episode also got delayed because the main editor wasn’t avaiable at the time, again, I apologize. Still glad we did the episode, thanks again to ellorgast who agreed to come on the podcast on a very short notice.

Some extremely sad news to share - Akira Kubodera, probably best known for playing Kunzite in the live action Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon adaptation, passed away on November 13, 2020. He was 43 years old. Authorities believe the cause of death to be suicide. RIP, Kubodera-san, you will be dearly missed.

hey telly, i heard that Akira Kubodera (who played stage iyami) passed away yesterday 😢
Yeah, I just heard about it in the Iyami Discord... I’m honestly kind of in shock, he was so young! Only 43...
I might have not been familiar with his roles other than Iyami, but by what I’ve seen of the stage plays, he sure brought life into the characters he played like few people do. I could only ever praise him for his talent and brilliance. He’ll be sorely missed.
