As we approach the tenth year since the popular anime “Bungo Stray Dogs” first aired, fans can look forward to numerous events and releases in the upcoming months leading up to the anniversary. This highly successful action series has been consistently delivering new, thrilling seasons, and its popularity has grown significantly over the years, placing it among the most popular anime currently available. The tenth-year celebration is expected to bring even more projects that will help solidify the series’ position as a dominant force in the anime world for this decade.
I’m excitedly observing that, according to an announcement from Kadokawa, the official producer of the Bungo Stray Dogs anime, we’re approaching the franchise’s tenth anniversary in April 2026! To mark this momentous occasion, a series of pre-celebrations are being planned to generate excitement and thank fans for their unwavering support. A stunning key visual has been revealed, featuring characters like Chuuya Nakahara, Ichiyou Higuchi, Ryunosuke Akutagawa, and Ryurou Hirotsu forming a ‘9’ with their hands – symbolizing the series’ ninth year. Additionally, merchandise launches and events for this month and September 2025 have also been announced!

To kick off the 10-year anniversary festivities ahead of time: Animate is organizing the “Bungo Stray Dogs” Autumn Grand Festival in its ninth month, as a way to honor the series’ 9-year anniversary. From September 5th onwards, new merchandise themed around the Port Mafia’s journey to Kyushu will be made available at all Animate stores, including international locations and their online shop. The product line includes acrylic stands, holographic badges, mini trunk cases, and keychains modeled after locker keys. Additionally, certain Kyushu outlets will display unique standee panels as exclusives.
During the second part of the festivities, temporary pop-up stores will be set up from September 20 to October 5 (7th floor North Only Shop Space) at Animate Ikebukuro Main Store and from October 11 to 26 (Only Shop Space) at Animate Umeda Store. Visitors can enjoy life-sized character stands showcasing the commemorative artwork for the 9th anniversary. Special merchandise, such as acrylic stands and trading card badges based on this illustration, will be for sale. Additionally, both locations will present engaging displays, like a miniature BAR Lupin diorama, offering fans a memorable experience. Further details about the products will be announced later.
Titled “Bungo Stray Dogs,” this captivating series follows the story of Atsushi, a homeless and orphaned individual who finds himself linked to tiger attack incidents in various locations. Upon encountering the suicidal Dazai, he offers him shelter and sustenance. The plot takes a dramatic turn when it’s unveiled that Atsushi is not just an ordinary boy but a Tiger, one of the Gifted ones. Dazai then enlists Atsushi into the Armed Detective Agency, marking a new chapter in his life. This phase brings him a world filled with both friendship and violence, making his existence both harsh yet gratifying.
The latest season of the show was its fifth, which aired during Summer 2023. The press release hints at new ventures and unveilings when the 10th anniversary arrives. Since we’ve had enough material from the comic for an entire season already, there’s a strong possibility that a sixth season will be greenlit as a celebration for the dedicated fanbase. With the manga continuing, the show’s future looks more promising than ever before.
