Review:
Bungo Stray Dogs is going to get the award for most inconsistent not just in tone but in airing time the way this season is going. I could probably search and find out why the release date of the episodes has been all over the place but I’m really disinclined to bother. It just seems weird.
Anyway, episode 18 gets action heavy as we blow up a ship and then have a minor skirmish between the Port Mafia and the Agency. Atsushi and Dazai were both mysteriously absent from the whole episode this time (save for a few flashbacks of Dazai’s expressions) which gave us a bit of time to try to remember who all the other characters are. They all still seem death proof which makes you wonder how we’re ever going to get a victor out of the three way conflict, but that’s another story. The way this season is going this is actually going to be one of the few season 2’s I enjoy more than the original season of a show.
Bungo Stray Dogs is available on Crunchyroll.
I did get whiplash being thrown back into the deep end of its mythology and sprawling character cast. I was scratching my head over some characters wondering if we’d already met them or not.
Inconsistent is definitely the right word to use and I doubt it’s something future episode are like to rectify.
this second season is such a surprise…it’s craziness
Honestly, other than the characters, it kind of feels like a totally different show so far.
