Bungo Stray Dogs by Kafka Asagiri is considered one of the prominent anime shows in the action, mystery, and supernatural categories. With three seasons already being released, and a new one currently in production, the creators are working hard to give us more of this show. That said, Season 3 premiered in 2019, so it has been three years since Bungo Stray Dogs was last on our screens.
Fortunately, the fourth season of Bungo Stray Dogs was greenlit back in November 2021, and just recently, during the 2022 Crunchyroll Expo Event, the show received an official release window for January 2023. While there are still a few months left for us to enjoy the adventures of Atsushi Nakajima and other members of the Armed Detective Agency, new cast members have been announced, alongside new key visuals for Season 4.

Crunchyrolldescribes the story of Bungo Stray Dogs as follows: Kicked out of his orphanage and on the verge of starving to death, Nakajima Atsushi meets some strange men. One of them, Dazai Osamu, is a suicidal man attempting to drown himself in broad daylight. The other, bespectacled Kunikida Doppo, nervously stands by, flipping through a notepad. Both are members of the “Armed Detective Agency” said to solve incidents that even the military and police won’t touch. Atsushi ends up accompanying them on a mission to eliminate a man-eating tiger that’s been terrorizing the population.
