The TV anime series "Bungo Stray Dogs" celebrates its 10th anniversary today, April 7th. To mark the occasion, a special "10th Anniversary PV" has been released, looking back on the series' journey so far. Additionally, author Kafka Asagiri, illustrator Harukawa 35, director Takuya Igarashi, scriptwriter Yōji Enokido, and character designer Nobuhiro Arai sent their congratulations in the form of illustrated message boards.
The retrospective in the PV is accompanied by the song "Bungo 0," which was also heard in the series' first promotional video. The video summarizes the story from the first to the fifth season, including the film "Bungo Stray Dogs: DEAD APPLE." This traces the 10-year history of the supernatural action-adventure, where literary greats such as Nakajima Atsushi, Dazai Osamu, and Akutagawa Ryunosuke serve as the namesakes for the characters.
The manga series by Kafka Asagiri and Harukawa 35 has been serialized in the magazine "Young Ace" (KADOKAWA) since 2012. The total circulation of all books released to date currently exceeds 17.5 million copies. The first TV anime season began on April 7, 2016, a decade ago today. So far, a total of five seasons with 61 episodes have been broadcast. Further projects are also planned beyond 2026.
