Bungo Stray Dogs - Season 2

Even though the beginning of the second season of Bungo Stray Dogs is "just" a backstory, I really enjoyed it. It had a very interesting narrative, and I definitely enjoyed watching the mafia "anecdotes." Plus, Dazai is in many good scenes and even shows new aspects of his very interesting character. So the first half did not disappoint me in any way. As for the second half, I expected the fight scenes and the war between the mafia, the guild, and the agency to be much more epic. On the other hand, I did not mind the storyline and the style of its denouement, and since I actually found Izumi Kyouka really likable, I was pleased with everything. However, if I could be critical for a moment, the ending itself was kind of "clichéd as hell," even though it had its moments (the boss fight, the final scene, and of course Kyouka!). Well, because of the open ending, I guess nothing is stopping them from making a possible follow-up, and I am looking forward to that. I still found this original (even though it is not very original anymore), quite amusing, playful and enjoyable - 7.8/10. (10/13/2016)
