There's alot that this anime does right that most even don't bother.One such thing is the usage of characters per say.None of them are simply one-off,vanishing from the face of the Earth after their time on the screen finishes for the time being.And while that is a very good thing,there's one character that should've stayed one-off if i am being honest. And that character is that Francis fella.As a one off villain he's not bad.But he's far too bland and unintresting compared to the other villains this show produced. Not to mention they kinda try and give him some redemption arc or something...But i honestly couldn't care less.There's no redeeming what he previously attempted and almost succeeded in.
Otherwise i can't say i have any complaints,since everything else is pure quality.Maybe ex…

This is honestly my absolute favorite anime and I’m not even exaggerating. From the very first episode, I couldn’t put it down. It grabbed me instantly with its atmosphere, characters, and that perfect mix of mystery, action, and emotional chaos. And when I finally finished the series… I had to take a whole week off just to calm down. I was way too excited, and the idea that the anime might end ( only for a new season to suddenly appear) completely destroyed me in the best way. What really surprised me is how the story keeps going. There were moments where it genuinely felt like everything was wrapping up, like we were heading toward the final conclusion… and then BAM. an unexpected twist, a new arc, a new season, and suddenly I’m screaming into the void again. The plot just refuses to slo…

The third season of Bungo Stray Dogs begins with introducing the background of Dazai and Chuuya. In addition, the following episodes contain short stories about unanswered questions and side characters. Only the latter half progresses the main narrative, yet the former remains engaging by covering a variety of content at a good pace. This includes one of the most satisfying and cold villain introductions of all time. It even acknowledges plot points from the standalone episode and movie. Even still, the conflict between the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia could have explored more fun concepts rather than being a setup for the finale.

Bungo Stray Dogs 3rd Season Is another strong follow-up to the previous Seasons.
Getting straight into this review the plot for bungo stray dogs is extremely strong. With more very well fleshed out arcs that are extremely engaging especially towards the end of the season. Tons of new lore for us to watch with More stuff with Dazai. The Port Mafia and Agency are super cool this season with alot of the time them working together against bigger threats which allows for alot of wholesome moment's especially with Dazai and his former colleagues. On top of all of this there is new characters throughout the season and plenty new not mentioned in previous episodes so overall super engaging stuff.
The animation this season is the same as usual however the fight scenes are especially great this…

Bungou Stray Dogs 3rd Season was without a doubt another fabulous production. The suspense in this season was incredible. It kept me on the edge of my seat most of the time, and I could not predict what might happen next in most scenarios. The chemistry between Atsushi and Akutagawa had been further enhanced, and it was fun listening to their banter while trying to work together at the same time. The fact that the makers made sure to include backstories to almost every character was much appreciated. The soundtrack for this season was stunning. It made the whole already great experience of watching so much better.
I would say give this series a try if you like this genre; you would not be disappointed.

Is this digimon??
This series is just getting better for each season, and now we have reached the part where they fuse together aka DNA-fusion like they do in digimon?? xD haha no im just kidding... or am i ??
But I cant stop watching cause the story is soo good and interesting and drag you along om the Journey. And the intro song is amazing too !!! And the outtro song too. You also get some more backstore of some characters and a New story with a big twist.
I personally liked this season better than the other season, so if u were "meh" about the last season please give this one a try.

Beautiful words are not enough to express everything I felt watching this season, in every episode I got goosebumps, screamed and questioned myself how an anime of this level can exist in the world, I also divided my thoughts between questioning myself if the creator of Bungou Stray Dogs is really a human being to have invented a story with such an ABSURD level of quality and wanting to punch me for not having watched this anime earlier. Honestly, this season should be on the WHO's list of top depression fighters because every time I was watching it, I was thankful I was alive to be watching something SO GOOD! To conclude, here is my honest reaction and conclusion of this season:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA…

In some ways, this season works better than the previous one, featuring the most intriguing villain to date who has a much better debut here than he did in the movie. There's still so much we don't know about Fyodor and I think that sets up a solid S4. It also helps that this season pays off a great deal from the first two seasons. That being said, while the final arc is most definitely its best, I think this season drags throughout much of its runtime besides, with a couple of exceptions in the early portions of the season that don't really pay off later. The power-up between our main duo seems a bit more absurd this time around, and the whole ticking clock scenario is really interesting, though the way it ends is honestly a bit disappointing. After 3 seasons, I was hoping that we'd see s…

FINALLY! Bungou Stray Dogs has figured out the formula for success. Just get rid of the MC.
Commendable.
Animation / Art / General Visuals - 8/10
-----------------------------------------------
About the same as previous seasons. It's nice. Not gonna blow your mind, but shouldn't bother you either. Some animation shortcuts like patterns on clothes moving separately from the clothes themselves caught my eye, but whatever. All in all, still very nice across the board. Sound / Music / Voice Acting - 8/10
------------------------------------------
Solid. Music is probably the best out of the seasons so far.
Story - 8/10
-------------
For the second season in a row, we start things off with several flashback episodes that once again further flesh out Port Mafia and Dazai. And MOST IMP…

Reviews if you don't have time.
*SPOILER-FREE*
If you like good shows with awesome characters, “Bungou Stray Dogs”, one of the most popular shows in the genre, might be worth to waste a little time on. It is a manga adaptation with powerhouse studio Bones at the helm of animation.
As one might expect from the name alone, Bones did an amazing work with this adaptation. From the design of the characters and scenes to the powers each of them have, it is all very well executed and done. The fights are good and exciting and have a good flow and balance to them. It is not a Bones masterclass, like shows such as “Mob Psycho 100” but still is a noteworthy show, animation wise.
The plot is actually well written and despite being, specially at the beginning, isolated cases that change every few e…

I don't think Bungo Sray Dogs is like a really fantastic show, but it's fun to watch.
BAD:
a. The tonal consistency is really, really, really bad. You'll have a gun fight, and then there's a random comedic moment, and then back to gun fight, and then awkward emotional moment, and then ok back to guns.
b. Plot is rushed towards the end of the season. In the last episode everything gets wrapped up nicely. There are also many plot holes. One moment a guy is stabbed through his throat and he's bleeding to death. But then because a friend of his with no healing ability shows up he is suddenly healed...? There's also 2 main plots in this season that aren't really related. The first one is about Dazai and Chuuya and then they are basically irrelevant for the 2nd half of the season. And the qu…

I don’t know if my review will see the light, with everyone seeming to give a high rating, but here it is. Combined review of seasons 1, 2 and 3.
First of all, I’m really glad I didn’t drop the series. Ngl, the first season was sleep inducing compared to the other two. But, trust me, just stick around, stick around to the end, bear it because season 2 and 3 are way better. In the first season the humor was lanky, characters constantly do stupid things, and the world building wasn’t good enough, sub plots was boringly executed, inconsistent/ ooc character actions, umm and the creepy incest. Not that these problems don’t recur in the following seasons but there is so much improvement.
For me, the first 4 or 5 episodes is still the best of Bungou stray dogs, it really pulled me in. The gri…

*I already wrote most of this but I accidentally deleted it so now I have to write it again lol*
Starting with one of Bungo Stray Dogs' strongest points (imo) is the art and animation. The bright, vibrant colors and saturated, yet beautiful coloring of the sceneries was everything I could hope to ask for. It fit an art style that I can recognize as strictly that of BSD’s. The same skies were hardly re-used and the detail always put me at awe. The scenery made the short ten seconds of screen time they had memorable. In other animes, while their background may be just as detailed, they didn’t particularly stand out and I couldn’t see a glimpse of the setting and think “wow that’s exactly the anime’s art style!”. Besides the scenery, I also enjoyed the lighting as another one of BSD’s distin…

**possible spoiler?
i love this anime so much and really dont see enough hype about it! the characters are amazing and lovable, the plot is new and interesting (at least for me) and im not sure how to explain this last point but it just feels honest. One of my favourite things in this season specifically was the accurate representation of PTSD from atsushi; as someone who struggles with this disorder and was able to spot it right away. Of course, i can't speak for others who suffer from this but I thought this was the best representation I've ever seen of his specific PTSD trigger/story. That being said, i would mention a possible trigger warning for emotional and physical child abuse; if youre unsure how youll feel contact someone who has watched it im sure theyll help you figure out if…

(this is a review of the series as a whole, also there are no heavy spoilers.)
I recently finished this (all seasons, plan to read the manga + watch dead apple), and this is without a doubt going into my favorites.
The story is very... intelligent? You can tell lots of thought and heart was woven into it. The theme of the characters being based off of authors was very creative.
The art/animation was a sight to behold. The art style didn't stick out much from other anime but the fight scenes were something else.
For the sound rating, honestly any sound effects weren't really anything in particular but I adore the soundtrack. I still listen to it occasionally on my own time.
The characters were very enjoyable, they all were distinct and always had something going on and tbh were writ…

How this show is underrated I really cant understand!
I have seen all the seasons and absolutely loved each and everyone of them.
The shows contains a lot of action, thriller, suspense and a great story. Though I found it a bit hard to hold onto the story line in season 3. Maybe because of all of the flashbacks and background stories, and the difference from past to present was a bit much for viewers who did not read the manga. Overall its a GREAT show and I highly recommend it to everyone.
I really enjoyed all the openings and ending sountracks of this show, especially the ending song for season 3.
I really hope they come up with a season 4.

*SOME SMALL SPOILERS AHEAD*.
After being pleased with the first season of BSD and kinda liking the 2nd one i decided to watch the 3rd. By this season i think only people who liked the 1st season of the show are still watching it so it's pretty weird that it keeps getting adaptations and specials. Either way lets get into this:
STORY: 8/10
Something that definitely improved from the 1st and 2nd season is the story. I think its more of a result of the story being more focused on the mystery part of BSD. I personally really love mystery in anime so i think that does play a part. There is however an episode i have to talk about, where the show has the audacity to try to explain to us that CHILD BEATING is okay if you had good intentions at heart. This is disgusting and pretty much ruins my…

I watched the two first seasons, which followed each other rather closely, the film, an ova, I believe, and then finally this. Like season 2, the first half of the season is dedicated to a lengthy flashback that, in this case, explains the mysterious origins of a side character. One of the main side characters, if that makes a difference, but a side character. And I'm still not sure why. It could have to do with the illusive Dazai, being perhaps a fan favourite, but what do I know? I don't even know if he is a fan favourite. The plots of Bungo Stray dogs have not ever been very complicated, get the protagonist (season 1), fight the enemies (Season 2). Simple. Where the success of season 1 laid was in the multiple characters and the little side characters and their stories. Not many of thos…

I recently finished this show, and it's safe to say that 𝘉𝘶𝘯𝘨𝘰𝘶 𝘚𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘋𝘰𝘨𝘴 is one of the best anime's I've ever seen. The story and plot start off a bit mediocre to begin with in the first season, but it progresses almost flawlessly. The art is unique and pleasing, as well as sounds. The soundtrack and sound effects were lovely, so are the voice actors. One of my favorite parts about this show is how well thought the characters are. Each one of the characters are alluring in some way, it feels as if you get to know them on a personal level. One critique though, I think Akiko could have had some more screen time and depth to her character as she has a lot of potential, however this is a minor "problem" and did not effect how much I enjoyed this show. I would even go as far as…

So I finally finished Bungou Stray Dogs Season 1, 2, and 3, and the one thing I still think about is how this series became so underrated.
Plot-wise Bungou Stray Dogs is still on point. It puts you on the edge of your seat, making you anticipate and be excited about what's gonna happen in the next episode. This level of excitement has been kept up throughout this whole season, which is a big deal when it comes to short animes.
Art wise too Bungou Stray Dogs was consistent. Even though this anime is not fight-focused, the fights in the anime are very well done and the amount of hype is surreal.
Soundtrack wise it didn't stand out too much for me, cuz I was focused on the dialogues by the characters. But the opening by Granrodeo this season hasn't let down. But my favourite had to be the…
