Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season

Despite their differences in position, three men—the youngest senior executive of the Port Mafia, Osamu Dazai; the lowest ranking member, Sakunosuke Oda; and the intelligence agent, Ango Sakaguchi—gather at the Lupin Bar at the end of the day to relax and take delight in the company of friends.

However, one night, Ango disappears. A photograph taken at the bar is all that is left of the three together.

Fast forward to the present, and Dazai is now a member of the Armed Detective Agency. The Guild, an American gifted organization, has entered the fray and is intent on taking the Agency's work permit. They must now divide their attention between the two groups, the Guild and the Port Mafia, who oppose their very existence.

This season is sadly my last favoritte seasons of the whole anime.

I mean, they explain some back story of the characters which is perfekt and just how I like it, but there was something about the main story that just felt slow, at least in the beginning. It picks itself up and become better and more interesting towards and end.

I belive maybe they fokus on the backstory of New character each season and this season was not the characters i was interested in. So maybe you like it.

Either way if u liked season 1 i actually do recommand you watch this season ... and just bear with it, cause it will be better towards the end and the story and informtion given in this anime is making it easier to understand what is happening In the 3rd season which i also recommand watching, but u can read that review over there.

Mixed Feelings

Bungou Stray Dogs 2nd Season follows the battle between the 3 main gangs that were introduced previously on the 1st season , the Detective Agency , Port Mafia and finally The Guild . In all honesty , this season felt that had quite an interesting pacing regarding the action and the character development .

First and foremost , the 4 starting episodes revolve around Dazai's past and how he became to be a Detective Agency's executive and it was ALRIGHT to say the least , very cliche stuff that is oftenly used in development . In order to not spoil anything , I will highlight ... only that Dazai became a " good citizen " just because he was forced to by ethical means and for his will of being a good friend .

Secondly , the rest of the season continues at the present where it was left of . If I had to pinpoint one good that this season had was the chemistry between Atsushi and Akutagawa reflecting each other's personality respectively and how Dazai's plan came to a meaningful conclusion . Other than that , the rest of the season is having quite the ups and downs . I do not really comprehend why Bones gave such a identity crisis to Bungou Stray Dogs being the character's part and the music accordingly , there is really a weird vibe to it that I cannot get around my head easily . There where scenes that characters would be willing to make jokes when a serious situation would be brought up and then suddenly get all Locked In - Serious mode . In my eyes this is not achieved comedy , it is bluntantly speaking odd . And then the music , jazz soundtracks were somewhat fire but the rest was really forgettable . I believe S1 did a much better job at this part . Last but not least , the animation just wasn't really that great and characters looked off at certain angles and environments .

Finally , the main Boss of the S2's story is not a guy that I would cheer for , just because his motives were pretty damn generic and not worth the time . Mr America wanted Atsushi for the Bounty that he had set and I assume vengeance from the Detective Agency that they didn't give their rights to him , it is all about money we are talking about . I suppose his wife's story was somewhat convincing but nope your motives are quite mediocre . I was expecting something way more intriguing .

To conclude , S2 was pretty OK for the most part . It had its moments there and there . For those who watched 1st season just expect the same pace and do not have high expectations , only for Dazai because I really like how he is carrying the story for it to become much more interesting than it seems to be .

Spoiler

I wanted to like this show, but the plot is just awful, and pointless.

Spoilers.
The villain of the story is some billionaire, Francis Fitzgerald, and it was loosely stated that he wanted to capture Atsushi so that he could help him find a book. But instead of contacting and directly paying a starving orphan or hiring the agency he works for, he decides to put a hit on him through a mob. Then for some unknown reason decides to destroy the city? Francis' power is to be able to burn through his money and convert that to strength. But why not just spend that ... money to find the book? The entire conflict was pointless and the plot was forced.
