Netflix India Releases Bungo Stray Dogs Season 2 Anime on June 30

Netflix India is listing season two of the Bungo Stray Dogs anime on its streaming service. The second season of the anime will stream on the service starting on June 30.

Netflix India describes anime's second season:

The conflict between the Armed Detective Agency and Port Mafia continue. Meanwhile a third faction, the Guild, threatens an all out war against both.

The first television anime adaptation of Kafka Asagiri and Sango Harukawa's Bungo Stray Dogs manga aired in April-June 2016, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The anime's second 12-episode series aired from October-December 2016, and Crunchyroll again streamed the series as it aired. An anime film opened in Japan in March 2018. The anime's third season premiered in April 2019, and Crunchyroll again streamed the anime as it aired. The manga has also inspired an OVA that shipped with the manga's 13th compiled volume in August 2017.

The "battle action" story centers around a league of literary figures with supernatural powers. For example, in real life, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa wrote acclaimed stories that inspired Akira Kurosawa's Rashōmon film and the Aoi Bungaku Series anime's Jigoku Hen (Hell Screen) arc. In Bungo Stray Dogs, he has the power to transform and manipulate his cloak into a monster-like entity. Together, some of these writers solve mysteries as part of the "Armed Detective Agency," while others appear as antagonists.

Yen Press is publishing the manga in English.

The manga also inspired a smartphone game titled Bungo Stray Dogs Mayoi Inu Kaikitan that launched December 2017. The game is available in English with the title Bungo Stray Dogs: Tales of the Lost.

The franchise also includes a series of stage plays.
