The story revolves around a private detective agency, made up of researchers specializing in diverse areas and empowered to live up to its status. However, this narrative line is not the focal point of the story, serving only as a link to a main line: a relationship of the members with a Port Mafia.
Bungou Stray Dogs gives the slayer a fun and interesting mix of drama, comedy, mystery and action. The concept of the series is quite interesting, even if it is something repetitive and much worked in the universe of Japanese animation, it manages to be pleasant and exploited from an unusual point of view within the context.
It is not a dramatic play at its core. There was a clear attempt to make it something more dramatic by highlighting the protagonist's squeamish past, however, the connection to that was not happy with the rest comic storyline. It's an entertaining series with a dose of mystery right for us to see without undue commitment. That is, although it is a work of demography within elements too strong emotional points of view, getting by the bloodiest look.
The demographics helped to reduce censorship, allowing the public to enjoy the full of beautiful battle choreography, shootings and murders. The Bones studio continues to do a good job, so in addition to the dazzling scenes, one of the strengths of the animation, maintained an average fluidity. Nothing is extraordinary from the technical point of view, however, nor can we point out blatant errors in this regard.
The photography and the plans of photos have great moments, especially in the climax of the episodes. Whether it was in the "liberation of power", in the battles or when solving some mystery, an animation could make us drool for more.
The character design was the best of the season. It is strong, with gaudy and striking nuclei that are distinguished from other productions. The visual is careful and a harmony achieved between animation, character drawing and acting voice is simply in the right measure.
The soundtrack varied between rhythms with jazz and electronic traits. It remained original in its production and not generally well placed. The opening and closing themes deserve special mention, being particularly very good.
As expectations for Bungou Stray Dogs appeared to be high. Like every piece of art, an attention and a critical eye on the same intensity, and the judgments overwhelm on all sides. Of course it is not an ideal work, let alone something representative of the genre. However, it can be regarded as a pleasant work of entertainment to watch any kind of expectation, for those who want to laugh while watching a universe shrouded in mystery with interesting characters and fantastic powers. In addition, this series is full of literary references (as characters represent an author and name of their powers over their respective literary works), so for any lover of literature, especially Japanese, or enjoyment is intensified.
However, for those looking for a more "dark" work from an emotional and narrative point of view, this will not be the best choice. It has drama, but poorly explored and above all poorly placed, so I suggest you not start Bungou Stray Dogs to desire a dramatic complexity of quality
