Yeah, I know these type of questions get asked a lot for other anime series, but I didn't see a topic here about this.

Do you need to watch the movie before watching season 3? How important is the movie to the main storyline? I was really impressed by the 2nd season of Stray Dogs, especially because of that powerful flashback arc. I'd like to dive into season 3 tonight, but sadly, I couldn't find the time to sit down and watch the movie.

Thanks in advance!

Nah, you don't need to watch the movie. It's kind of up to debate if the movie is even canon lol.

The movie is cannon. I think it adapts a light novel or something but it's 100% cannon showing the events that took place between S2 and S3 but you don't NEED to watch it although it's very good


This is a list of the novels and none are the Dead Apple story: https://bungostraydogs.fandom.com/wiki/Novel_Chapters

The movie is mostly a huge spectacle. Yokohama is pretty much rubble by the end of the movie and yet where the manga chapters would pick up again, the city is totally normal, among other inconsistencies. It'd take a bit of filler to connect the movie to where the story left off from the manga at the end of S2.

I'd watch it anyway, it is a good movie. At least when you have the time.

Thanks, everyone. Will watch the movie one day. I did watch the OVA earlier today, at least. It was good.
