Crunchyroll is streaming the anime and describes the plot as:
"Bungo Stray Dogs: an action battle epic set in the bustling, fictional city of Yokohama, where the port winds howl as "gifteds" whose powers take after the giants of literature.
Could you believe that those characters of the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, whose battles bring them to the edge of death, would come looking so adorable and minimalistic, just to jest and jive?!"
Bungo Stray Dogs is based on a manga by Kafka Asagiri, with Harukawa35 illustrations. Serialization started in 2012 in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine.
The anime adaptation by studio BONES premiered in the Spring of 2016, with a second season following in the Fall season of the same year.
