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

I know, I know, they have many differences... but still, the similarities are screaming! The funny relationship between someone who can't control his anger and someone who angers him on purpose? Check! The main character who looks harmless, but ends up being far from that? Check! (In different ways, though). Supernatural powers? Check! Mafia? Check! A comedy that turns more serious later? Check!
Weirdest recommendation ever, I know, but they give the same vibe. I think the word is vibe...
The Gang aspect is similar but that's it...gang vibes
Combine that with the qualities of Nabari no Ou and you get Bungou Stray Dogs

deals with the supernatural, also similar in the focus on many different characters & their backgrounds. The story also starts to weave together - each person involved with another etc. Both animes share voice actors too
Do you bet on losing dogs? If you liked the underground rebel vibes of the street gangsters in Durarara!! then you will certainly grow close to the eccentric members of the Port Mafia in Bungou Stray Dogs.
-Both of the Shows Deals with Supernatural Fights and they're Very Epic Tbh Tho.
-For Some reason whatsoever (even know is not made by the Same Studio last Time I Checked). The Animation is very Similar was well tho.
-Ranpo Edogawa and Izaya Orihada have Similar Personalities and Have the Same Voice Acting as well.
-The Main Characters From Both Series Started Weak But They Become Stronger Soon Enough tho.
-and Both of them are Mystery And Supernatural Anime as well.
Those Two Series are Really Damn Good and Similar to Each Other Tbh Tho. If you're a Fanatic of one of those Series you should Check one of those

The setting is fairly similar considering that they both tackle the subject of gangs/mafia with a touch of supernatural elements.

•Both are set in a normal city where most people are unaware of people with special abilities.
•Share quite a few seiyuus
Both Animes are centered around feuding groups wanting to take each other out, and have a supernatural theme

Similar premises
Similar characters and styles
Similar seriousness then switch to goofiness
Similar story setting
Similar environment
Similar complexness without some kind of mind overload
it is Also about Gangs and the fights between them in a City and it has Supernatural powers too more than Durarara its a pretty Popular and Famous anime , it worth Watching.
The storytelling and storyline itself are very different, but aside from that, Durarara!! and Bungou Stray Dogs are very similar anime. The art style is almost identical, the tone is very similar, and the main protagonists, Mikado and Atsushi, are very similar. The humor is similar as well, but it’s more prevalent in Bungou Stray Dogs than in Durarara!!, but Durarara!! still has it’s moments of the funny. They have their differences, but the similarities are still there as well. Fans of Bungou Stray Dogs should check out Durarara!!, and vice versa.

Similar clever characters
Mystery story
İnteresting supporting characters
Mafia
Both of the series have group factions. All the individual characters in the show are unique. Some of the characters from each show are very similar. The comedy and action feels are the same. Also, both songs of the series have the same vibe.
Durarara and BSD both show a protagonist that is brought to a new city with no intention of suddenly being involved in dangerous situations they didn't expect to happen to them. They both have deceptive characters, gang/organization wars, quick-paced action and a tinch of comedy.
