Why It Rocks

 * 1) No Nakama Powerups. One can only use his own powers and his tactics to win a fight.
 * 2) An amazing cast of characters leads to some great character interactions and setting their differences aside, which leads to a great storyline in general.
 * 3) The Osamu Dazai and the Dark Era light novel arc was adapted really well and showed the reasons to why Osamu Dazai, one of the main characters of Bungou Stray Dogs, is the person he is now.
 * 4) It has some really well-animated fight scenes, such as Atsushi Nakajima vs Ryunosuke Akutagawa, which really bring on great action into the anime.
 * 5) The cases being solved all built up to the main conflict of the anime, which was the Armed Detective Agency (the protagonists) vs the Port Mafia (the antagonists of the first season).
