main cast
The "battle action" story Bungou Stray Dogs centers around a league of literary figures with supernatural powers. For example, in real life, Akutagawa Ryuunosuke wrote acclaimed stories that inspired Kurosawa Akira's Rashoumon film and the Aoi Bungaku Series anime's Jigoku Hen (Hell Screen) arc. In Bungou Stray Dogs, he has the power to transform and manipulate his cloak into a monster-like entity. Together, these writers solve mysteries as part of the "Armed Detective Agency."

This feels like a futuristic Victorian/Japanese (almost Steampunk) detective agency going up against the mob to resolve mysteries and resolve wrongs. For me the story/action was uninspired, the art was nice.

If you like Seinen such as "Kekkai Sensen" you might like this one too since it's quite similar to it. Not as good but similar and enjoyable.
The animation and character design is cool. You get a diverse mix of characters which fit well together. The humour is nice, the action cool to watch.
The music is good too - I especially liked the ED a lot.
If you're into literature you might also meet familiar names. I'm not that familiar with Japanese authors but enjoyed Lucy and her Anne quite a lot.
All in all it's an interesting series but I hope that the 2nd season will get even better!

This was a very pleasant mix. Moments of humor, those "just kidding" moments were priceless. The characters screwing with each other for enjoyment struck true.
Violence, character growth, despair, joy, surprise. They've been woven into a beautiful series. I'm very pleased with how this series turned out.
Well worth the watch.

Very nice watch, with great action, good character development and strong emphasis on comedy part. With typical plot, but still somehow interesting.
