Season 4 of Bungo Stray Dogs is close to its official release on Crunchyroll. Here’s when you can stream the premiere episode on the platform.
After making us wait for around three years, Bungo Stray Dogs is finally coming back with a new season. Bones — the studio behind anime shows like My Hero Academia and Mob Psycho 100 — officially announced Season 4 of the critically-acclaimed anime series back in November 2021.
The studio then released the first trailer for the new season in August 2022, which featured most of our beloved characters from the series. The animation and voice acting seems great in the trailers, and now, it’s almost time for us to witness what the studio has to offer in the premiere episode.
When Does Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 Come Out?
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 will premiere Episode 1 on January 4th, 2023, at 11 PM JST (Japan Standard Time). The new season will come out on local channels for fans in Japan, but international viewers can stream it exclusively on Crunchyroll. The streaming platform confirmed that it would stream the latest season “as it airs in Japan.” And, since it will be a simulcast release, the episode’s release time will vary depending on your region. Here’s when you can catch the latest season in these regions:
- Pacific Time – 6 AM PT (Wednesday, January 4)
- Central Time – 8 AM CT (Wednesday, January 4)
- Eastern Time – 9 AM ET (Wednesday, January 4)
- British Time – 2 PM GMT (Wednesday, January 4)
- European Time – 4 PM CEST (Wednesday, January 4)
- Indian Time – 7:30 PM IST (Wednesday, January 4)
How Many Episodes Will Be There In Season 4?
Studio Bones hasn’t officially confirmed the episode count for Bungo Stray Dogs Season 4 yet. However, some reports state that the latest season will run for 13 episodes. The 3-cour-run sounds plausible since the first three seasons of the anime series featured 12 episodes.
Also, most modern anime shows have been sticking to the 3-cour format for each season, Chainsaw Man being the latest example. If that is indeed the episode count, the fourth season will come to an end with the release of the 13th episode on March 29th, 2023. The studio might also end it a week early by releasing the 12th and 13th on the same day, making the finale an hour-long experience for the fans — a trend that Bleach has followed to end Part 1 of Thousand-Year Blood War Arc.
