If you’re into action-fiction, supernatural fiction, and mysteries, Bungou Stray Dogs is definitely a good pick. This anime is full of nonsensical characters with some really dark humor, like teenagers nowadays. (no attacks) There are so many smooth transitions within the series. For instance, it turns the dark humor into an intense battle along with so many unsolved mysteries.
Let’s talk about the plot now, the story of Bungou Stray Dogs revolves around Nakajima Atsushi (yes, he’s the main character living under the shadows of Dazai) who was kicked out of the orphanage without any place to go or any food to eat. One day, he comes across a suicidal person (we all know who it is), the one and only, Dazai Osamu! He saved him from committing suicide on the brink of starvation and that’s when Dazai and his team member develop an interest in him. It’s always the wise people saving the weirdos in anime series.
