Similar kind of character dynamics, back-and-forths between light slice of life humor and serious action scenes, split character group factions, and splashes of the supernatural (featured often but not the center of the story). Details on similarities: - Main characters (Atsushi/Mikado) are inexperienced and weak; grows through his experiences with his new friends. - Main supporting characters (Dazai/Kida) are light-hearted, humorous, but also have streaks of dark pasts and experiences in them. They also are protectively brotherly towards the main character. - Both animes have casts of supporting characters and various "faction groups" that they swear their allegiances to. And the supernatural powers from these characters are similar as well (i.e., super-human strength). - Both animes have heavy supernatural themes that support a larger mystery/action story (though Bungou Stray Dogs emphasizes this more – in a cool literary twist, similar to Darker than Black). - Both animes have a healthy balance between slice of life and action scenes. - Both animes take place in well-known cities (Yokohama/Ikebukuro). - Both animes have excellent contemporary musical scores.
