Didn’t think I’d have to make this post here but Here we Go!
The new anime Bungou to Alchemist, Shinpan no Haguruma just aired.
and it’s based on a fantastic game, I have nothing but high hopes for the anime going forward.
BUT
This time around, the characters are tied much closer to the actual authors, and both the writers of the game and the lovely people running the English wiki rely on their works and more importantly, their google search results being clear.
It’s an unspoken rule in the Japanese fandom to Not Tag Posts with Full Names.
Let me say that again.
Tagging posts with the characters’ full names is not okay.
“But Peach!” I hear you say. “It doesn’t do any harm!” It does. It makes accessing information about the actual authors much more difficult, not to mention a fanartist literally dissapeared because of it once.
Well then, how do you tag Bungou to Alchemist posts?
Using shortened forms of their names (Like Dazai -> Dzi or Akutagawa -> Aktgw) is commonly used, or even just tag them with one name (Just BunAl Dazai or Just BunAl Akutagawa)
This series is older than just the anime, and it’s thrived because of the information we can gather. Please be respectful of the people working on Bungou to Alchemist, as well as the authors themselves.
tl;dr: Don’t tag Bungou to Alchemist posts with full names.
PLEASE READ AND REBLOG
Tagging is very crucial. This is a great help to all those who are working hard to maintain the wikia and for people who are searching information about the actual authors.
Tagging is crucial. This should pretty much apply to the BSD fandom as well. Not only is this helpful to researchers and the fandom, but also as a way to respect the actual authors and culture.
Do consider adding “bsd” or use tags such as “bsd dazai”. This will be a great help into sorting information and preventing mix-ups.

A PSA for Bungou to Alchemist
With the news about the anime adaptation for Bunal (hooray!), I’d like to take a moment to just say to all Bunal fans, both old and new.
Please DO NOT discuss the game/anime incarnations of the characters using their full names.
This isn’t like BSD where they’re just loosely based on the actual people. The concept of Bunal is that the ACTUAL REAL PEOPLE have been reincarnated. It’s absolutely crucial to be careful when discussing them because of that.
- Firstly, we don’t want to clog up google searches with anime boys. since these are supposed to be real people, anything that happened in the author’s life is canon to the character. And we want to know as much as we can about them. Doing research becomes difficult when half the results are fan material.
- Secondly, THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE. They have grandchildren who are very much still alive (and several of them know about Bunal). We need to be respectful to the people, their memories, and their families.
- And finally, talking shit about the real people can seriously get people in trouble. I’m not pulling this out of my ass guys, there really have been incidents where people got into serious shit for things like fanart. Japan takes this stuff extremely seriously, and you can get sued.
The Japanese fandom already takes care to not even refer to the characters with even first/last names (they use nicknames), and us Western fandom folks should be careful too. This is a lovely game and fandom and I’d like to see it thrive.

Bungou to Alchemist is getting an anime in spring 2020.
- No, it’s not related to Bungou Stray Dogs.
- Bungou to Alchemist is a mobage from DMM, the people who brought you Sword Boys and Boat Girls. Monsters are eating literature and you summon the spirits of famous Japanese (usually) authors to defend their work.
- The English wiki is really good.
- Please watch this anime when it comes out, I am 90% of its AO3 section and I can only make so much of my own food.

since I know like 50% of people will not care about the searching result thing, let me emphasize the part where someone literally disappeared. They drew a picture of one of the proletariat writers, it was tagged with the full name, a Japanese communist group found the pic and used it, and now that artist is MIA.
like I know this seems super pedantic but it’s definitely in your own best interests not to tag with full names.
Reblogging this addition for emphasis!
It would help if any Bungou to Alchemist fans seeing this would reblog, as this message needs to spread!
