The anime world has been abuzz with speculation and anticipation since the conclusion of “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 5. This unique series, a brainchild of Kafka Asagiri and illustrated by Sango Harukawa, has not only captivated fans with its intriguing storyline but has also sparked questions about its continuity. With five successful seasons under its belt and a thriving manga series, the big question remains: Will there be a “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 6?
A Look Back at the Journey
“Bungo Stray Dogs” has been a standout in the anime landscape since its debut in 2012. Serialized in Kadokawa Shoten’s Young Ace, the manga has unfolded over 111 chapters and 24 volumes, a testament to its popularity and storytelling prowess. Its adaptation into an anime series further expanded its reach and fan base, bringing to life its unique characters and complex narrative.
The Current Scenario
After the riveting finale of Season 5, the show left fans on the edge of their seats. Interestingly, the anime has now surpassed the manga in terms of the storyline. The season concluded with an original ending that hinted at a collaboration between Studio Bones and Kafka Asagiri, the series’ author. This development opens up new possibilities for the series. The manga is on a path to adapt the anime’s storyline, suggesting that the anime could continue to lead the narrative. It’s an exciting twist, offering a fresh direction for both the manga and the anime.
Predicting the Release of Season 6
Estimating the release date for “Bungo Stray Dogs” Season 6 involves a bit of calculation. With the manga released monthly in Kadokawa Shoten’s Young Ace, and considering that an anime episode adapts up to three manga chapters, we can make an educated guess. Studio Bones would require around 36 chapters to produce a season of 11 to 12 episodes. This timeline suggests a potential release around 2026 or 2027. However, there’s a twist. Studio Bones has previously produced a season despite a shortage of source material. They might adopt this approach again, potentially leading to an earlier release date. This scenario could see the anime outpacing the manga, a strategy reminiscent of “Dragon Ball Super,” where the anime and movies preceded the manga.
