A mysterious fog appears out of nowhere and the arms detective agentcy are fighting a powered version of themselves while being powerless. It is upto Atsushi, Kyoka and Actigawa to put a stop to Fyodor and his evil plans to realise a dragon.

Just like the steins gate movie which I watched today as well the movie itself is enjoy but the actual series is much better. All in all if you like the series you will definitely like this movie

Watching the movie is a must to help close out some storylines and build the base for the 3rd season, but I was left a little disappointed after a great buildup.

Regardless the important part is the war between an occult based detective agency and the mafia running the seedy underbelly of the city continues!

Pros:

• Strong Characters, even the cliched stereotypes are amusing and well done.
• Actions have consequences.
• Redemption is possible, but it's not easy.
• "Good guys" and "Bad guys" are well balanced (in comparison to each other).
• Excellent Intro/Closing music.
• Resolution on some story arcs, buildup for more to come.
• Main protagonist finally gets over some of his fears.

Cons:

• Movie's ending feels rushed, up until then it was very strong.
• Diamond shapes pupils and irises are not my thing.
• Some shortcuts in the animation when dealing with characters seem from a distance, not a fan.
• Inconsistent animation, much of it is well done, but some distracting exceptions.

Overall look forward to a 4th season if it happens.

This movie was so amazing, I couldn't even hold back my tears when odasaku appeared in the first few minutes of the movie. This movie was filled with drama and fighting just as the series. Loved this movie so much and can't wait for season 3!

Started off slow and ended sloppily. The motivation for the characters was strained and not thought out, not much perspective: the scene angles were very boring, the action scenes were slightly better than the series but not by much and the script was lacking in overall character-building conversations. The only positives to this whole movie was more backstory for Atsushi, the introduction of a new villain, slightly higher quality animation compared to the series and more supporting character spotlight on Chuuya, Akutagawa and Kyouka. So overall, the movie didn't totally bomb, but it still lacked in multiple areas that would've made this much more appealing and engaging to watch.

I Loved how we finally got Atushi's backstory, it was just like the actual show. The plot was great too; very well written. Bungou Stray Dogs never disappoints me

The plot was great and the characters are so colourful.

I recommend it for all Bungou Stray Dogs fans! It's fast-paced, action packed and has a brilliant soundtrack. Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to follow if you're not familiar with the series and the characters, so I don't really recommend it as a stand-alone job.

This is they most best and greatest anime that I've watched , all of the seasons was very awesome (season 1 , 2 , 3 )

I legit cant even begin to start anywhere lol. Considering what the plot of the show is about the plot of this movie was actually fairly impressive and fresh. All the characters u love are freshed out in unique ways including the antagonistic characters if u want to call them that. THIS MOVIE IS CANON AND MUST BE WATCHED B4 S3.

The final battle is absolutely nutty.

But yeah.

The dragon scene.

That is all.

Characters: 10/10 Story Plot: 3/10 -> Cannot comment anything because the story plot was not what i expected and the movie went crashing down to the "should-be" climax part.

Mirror matches / "I lost my powers" plots are cheap. Abilities are meaningless and dumb in this plot (i.e. The show spends 2-3 seasons building up certain abilities as incredibly lethal / kills dozens of people in an instant, and then in this movie they're harmless because plot). Writing is awful, with characters acting out-of-character and dialogue wince-inducing. (e.g. Tiger boy goes from crying "agency doesn't kill people ever ever" to pointing a gun at a non-aggressor's head point-blank because he disagreed with what the guy says in literally 3 seconds).

The show is ok, if the show were the quality of this movie, it'd be a hard avoid.
