Bungou Stray Dogs

This show isn't really mentioned in a lot of anime circles. But it's actually quite good, the second season being the most compelling and crazy of all. It almost felt like a completely different series.

This show is fantastic. There's only 6 episodes out thus far but I've loved every single one of them. Its creative, funny, and puts limitations on the characters' powers to prevent them from becoming all-powerful (a trope that's all too common, especially in anime).

The animation is stellar and I can't tell you how much I love the art style, making all of the powers (which I won't describe here because spoilers) a joy to watch.

The characters are unique, likable, and funny, presenting plenty of contrast between the major characters to make for some hilarious situations.

The story focuses on Atsushi, an orphan boy living on the streets who after being kicked out of his orphanage through a turn of events manages to join the Armed Detective Agency, an Agency that specializes in dealing with threats from those who are Gifted - as most of their members are - that the police don't stand a chance against.

My only complaint with the show is the number of times Atsushi has flashbacks to getting kicked out of the orphanage; it gets kind of repetitive, but because of all the other things working in this show's favor I'm willing to overlook it.

In short this show is definitely worth a watch if you're looking for a new series to try. And if you finish all the episodes and still want more Bungou Stray Dogs, try the manga like I did, its worth your time.

FYI I'm only an Anime Watcher, (Sub only-never Dub), not a Reader of Manga. I started watching about a year ago.(2022) It's been great being able to binge watch all of the incredible shows, that I never even knew existed, without having to wait a week for the next episode!

It all started when, for whatever reason, I decided to start watching Attack on Titan. (I should mention that I'm a 50 yr old American male.) I quickly decided that watching in the original language with English subtitles was Way better than watching with English dubbed audio.) By the 4th episode of AoT I was hooked! I started watching shows like; Classroom Assassination, Parasyte, Akima ga Kill, 7 Seeds, and many more. My top rated shows were probably AoT, Demon Slayer, Death Note, SpyxFamily, and Jobless re incarnation.

Then came Chainsaw Man! Definitely my new favorite! After that I really loved Black Clover! (Yes, it was annoying at first, but once I got used to Asta, I started to love Yami and all of the other characters! After finishing the first main arc of B. C.(125 episodes?) I got into reincarnated as a Slime and Jobless Reincarnation (go Rudeus!) THEN I STARTED WATCHING BUNGO STRAY DOGS! It's SO GOOD! It is my New Favorite! (for now) I recommend watching every show mentioned above. They are all Great! I'm so glad that I discovered the World of Anime. It's been a life changer for sure! I'm almost all caught up with Stray Dogs. I now have to wait a week for each episode. Thanks for reading this rambling review. I hope it helps 🤞

This Anime was very good. S1 is not so great but S2 and S3 are brilliant. Especially we get more dark theme and fights. Fyodor's and Dazai's mind game is really amazing to watch.

I wanted to leave reality for a bit. So many different powered people where even their power expressed emotions as well.
