The hit anime series Bungo Stray Dogs has been a favorite among anime fans since its debut in 2016. With its unique blend of supernatural elements and literary references, the show has captured the hearts of many viewers.
Like previous seasons, the fourth chapter of Bungo Stray Dogs was a hit, with fans praising the season for the animation and, of course, the story. So, it’s no wonder that now, after the recent conclusion of season 4, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of season 5.
Bungo Stray Dogs Season 5 Release Window
The official website for the Bungo Stray Dogs announced that season 5 is set to release in July 2023. This announcement came just before the finale episode of season 4, leaving fans excited for what’s to come. To commemorate the announcement, a new Key visual and a promotional video were also released, which you can check below. The anime will return just a couple of months after the latest season’s conclusion, which is quite unusual for any anime series; however, the trailer assures that it will not be compromising on the quality of animation.
The announcement of season 5 has already generated a lot of buzz among fans, who were speculating about the release of the new season somewhere in 2024 or even later. But with the new release just a few months away, the fans are highly impressed with the creators and their dedication to delivering never-ending entertainment.
The previous seasons of “Bungo Stray Dogs” have been praised for their excellent animation, gripping storyline, and compelling characters. With the announcement of season 5, fans are hoping that the show will continue to deliver on these aspects and provide an even more thrilling and entertaining viewing experience.
Fifth Season’s Story Arc
As of now, the official confirmation is just about the season 5 release, which is set for July this year. Although the information is scarce, we can easily anticipate the story arcs that the upcoming season will cover. BSD season 4 covered the Perfect Crime Arc, Hunting Dogs Arc, and Sky Casino Arc. And now, we can expect the upcoming season to bring Kamui Revelation Arc and Vampire Infection Outbreak Arc to life, which are roughly around 27 chapters in total.
After season 5 comes to an end, the anime adaptation might go on break for a long time as the series has almost caught up with the manga. Of course, the new chapters are presently airing, but it may take some time for new plotlines to develop that are worthy of an anime adaptation. However, for the time being, they might introduce a new project revolving around the spin-off series Bungo Stray Dogs: Wan!
All the previous seasons of the series had run for 12-13 episodes, and the same can be said for the new season. However, everything should be taken with a pinch of salt until the official announcement. Adopting the new arcs will also mean bringing new characters to life. And as the series is already known for its well-developed characters, alongside other praiseful elements, fans will definitely be marking their calendars for July 2023, waiting for a new installment.
