 It's time for a new season of The Animes! This Spring there was really only one thing I was looking forward to: "Bungou Stray Dogs". This is a brand-new anime series by Studio Bones, based on the bestselling manga by Kafka Asagiri and Sango Harukawa. "Bungou Stray Dogs" centers on characters based on real-life authors such as Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Yukito Ayatsuji, Dan Brown, and Agatha Christie. The main characters are part of a group called the Armed Detective Agency. The ADA is made up of private investigators who have supernatural abilities, and as such are called upon to solve cases that the police and military can't solve alone. As each character is named for an author, their abilities are also named for well-known works by their real-life counterpart. The art and animation is great, as to be expected from Bones. The music is great too, having an opening song I INSTANTLY billed as an abingdon boys school song (I learned afterwards that it's actually Granrodeo song, and the groups just have REALLY SIMILAR vocalists).
If you want my opinion without spoilers, skip down to the end. I promise it's well-marked.  ©Square Enix Holdings Co., Ltd. If you’ve been keeping up with all the exciting news that’s been dropped regarding Final Fantasy XV recently, then you undoubtedly know that there is an anime being released in parts to expand on the story of the game itself. Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV’s first episode was released via free streaming the same night of the Uncovered: Final Fantasy XV event. Subsequent episodes will release over time as we approach the September 30th release date of the game, totaling in 5 episodes with a run-time of about ten minutes each (plus a bonus 6th episode to come with the Ultimate Edition of the game). This show is designed to be a prequel to the game, developing the premise behind Noctis and company’s story and relationship with each other. Keep in mind that I’m trying to keep spoilers out of this, so just go and watch the episode!
