Bungo Stray Dogs

AvaAdoreSoma shared a tip "I love this show so much! Even the ark. It starts out like a stereotypical silly anime, but very quickly I found myself enthralled and invested in the characters. <3 Great combination of action & Comedy."

Seahorse shared a tip "I found this anime to be very engaging and funny. They have well developed characters and they are relatable. The only downside to Bungo Stray Dogs is an incestuous couple, but they don't have a big role in the show. There's around 40 episodes and the incestuous couple acts "weird" in about 3 episodes. Besides that weirdness, I highly recommend this."

realityis4idiots shared a tip "It’s amazing. A masterpiece. And really underrated. I can’t find anything else quite like it. It’s unique and emotional and dark but light at the same time. I love all the characters and I can’t find anything offensive about it. Perfect pacing and no “filler” that doesn’t end up have some point in the end. The the intros and outros of the show, the dubbed English actors and the animation are also far above average in my opinion. Please watch this show and don’t stop at the first few episodes!!!"

mario_8349 shared a tip "This might be a great anime, but I couldn’t get farther than the first episode because it was pretty triggering. So, TW or CW for s***idal ideation and attempts. I just wish someone had warned me (and there might be a warning at the beginning of the show, I’m not sure)"

alyxis_holcombe shared a tip "!!WARNING!! (Possible Spoilers) Bungou Stray Dogs is one of my favorites! I love how a lot of the characters are morally grey. I also like that a lot of them have done something bad, almost none of them have clean hands. It also has an interesting story line and interesting antagonists! Lots of dark themes as well. Some being suicide, abuse, murder, torture, and mental illness(ig). But, I recommend it! :)"

AoAo shared a tip "YES 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND THIS ANIME IS SO GOOD LIKE FINGER LICKING GOOD HAS YOU ON YOUR GRIPPERS THE WHOLE TIME AND ESPECIALLY THE MANGA WATCH IT RIGHT NOW"

optimisticpessimist shared a tip "i’ll start off this recommendation with the fact that i am very much into supernatural, comedy, action, mystery shows and this is all of that! each character is based off of an actual literary figure in real life (osamu dazai and edgar allan poe are some well known examples) and their abilities are based off of a well known book from the author, maybe including references from the work in what the ability can do or the form it takes. kafka asagiri clearly did his research on the authors because mannerisms, personalities, appearance (e.g. chuuya being short), etc. are also taken into consideration and are implemented into the fictional version. i also find it hard to hate any of the characters. they are all well balanced, and everything they do is done for a reason (even if you need to watch more or do research on the actual author for it to finally make sense). i honestly can’t think of a character that i ever despised in the show, ever. enough with gushing over the characters, time to discuss the plot line. bungou stray dogs’ plot line changes each season, with a different enemy to be fought. while the whole show is a masterpiece (in my opinion), season one is more tamed than the rest. this makes sense because the characters are being introduced and there is a lot of exposition with us finding out how the characters operate, the opinions of the opposing organizations, and everyday problems they face. it is done in a way that still makes the watcher wonder what comes next. animation is wonderful and is always flattering. colours compliment the scene and characters nicely. voice actors, whether japanese or english voices, suit most if not all of the characters. openings, endings and soundtrack are beautiful as well. granrodeo, a band that the ***. va of chuuya is in, sung three openings (showing support to the cast). convinced you to watch it? watch in this order: s1, s2, ova, movie, so there are two spin offs too called wan and beast (manga only so far)"

Awkwardbean23_3 shared a tip "Currently my favorite anime. All the characters are fun. Also the fact that all the characters are based off real life authors is interesting even though some stuff isn't accurate to the real life stories."

benita_martinez shared a tip "I was sick and I just put this on I wasn't expecting it to be so good I so glad I was wrong it was so good I love it it's one of my favorites"

zero_7243 shared a tip "One of my current obsessions right now. It's totally worth watching, and if you still find the first season boring, I can promise you it actually does get better, ESPECIALLY when you get into the manga too."
