if you don't know whether to give this anime a shot or not, DO IT! it's definitely one of my favorites and it deserves so much better! and let me tell you why...

Bungou Stray Dogs is an absolutely outstanding anime. It is so original and well made that it makes me angry to see that the first season is only scored 7.80... if you have a refined taste you will agree with me in saying that it's rare to find a masterpiece like BSD.

First of all I love how witty it is. Starting by the fact that each character has got the name ... of an author of the japanese and international literature (isn't it cool?), and a "superpower" related to that author, each episode is studded with many interesting and mind blowing quotes. Nothing happens by chance, and i love the way it makes you meditate and investigate what's the meaning behind what the characters are doing or saying. Nevertheless it's never heavy or arduous, quite the opposite it's extremely engaging.

In my opinion it perfectly mixes a good plot with extremely good characters, lovely animation with witty comedy and lines, action and suspense with touching and suggestive moments.

I think that the characters are really this anime's ace. each one of them is extremely intriguing and SO well characterised. you end up appreciating each one of them, whether they're from the "good" or the "bad", and no one of them is flat or stereotyped. (and the voice actors are really something else... they made such a top tier work!!!!).

The animation, as I've already said, is a pleasure for eyes. Each episode is a little masterpiece and i remember always wanting to see more and more, the first time i watched it. The story, in my opinion, is cool and captivating, discolsing little by little what's behind the characters and the events, always following an unconventional scheme and extremely original traits.
Shout out to the music too: both the openings and the endings are amazing. the first ED in particular, Namae wo yobu yo by Luck life, is one of my favorite songs ever. Just incredible.

In conclusion Bungou stray dogs is simply unique and I recommend it to everyone. I wish it had more recognition cause it deserves so much better. Thank you to Kafka Asagiri for coming up with such a masterpiece!

P.S. as you go on it gets better and better. The second season is personally my favorite one (starring also my favorite character <3)
