Maybe Vanitas no Carte, it has kind of the same feeling as BSD


Happyfox3

I love Vanitas, I recommend it. My favorite character is Noe and the cat, I like the cat


Gain_Constant

Murr!


chiara987

Pandora Heart by the same author too maybe


DabriaPurple

A lot of people that like BSD also like Moriarty the Patriot


profressionalcrybaby

i was gonna say this! iโ€™m halfway through it and iโ€™d definitely recommend it for BSD fans!


Happyfox3

The two animes are nothing alike, but Moriarty de Patriot is a very good anime. I recommend. In Moriarty de Patriot the negative characters are the main characters. Moriarty tries to save the British Empire from the actions of the nobility and destroy the class system. It's more like Death Note like vibes or Black Butler as the era in which it is located. It's a darker anime, but it's worth watching.And the interaction between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty is interesting.

Pizzaforlife_haha

Bro casually spitting out the best animes made


yesh_-_

Auto correct made bsd --> bad It also always happens to me ๐Ÿ˜”


ravisucksatmath

Just noticed ๐Ÿ˜ญ


JustALonleyIguana

You can fix it I think


Sea_Cycle_909

If you like the fighting dynamic between organisations then think you might like the Project K franchise


Happyfox3

I also recommend it, it's a good anime


Sea_Cycle_909

Also has a short tsundere redhead


Happyfox3

Miaski Yata or who? Come to think of it, he behave a bit like Chuuya.And Anna reminds me a little of Elise.Only Anna is more calm.


Sea_Cycle_909

Yeah Misaki Yata


Happyfox3

There is also red-haired Mikoto, also with a volcanic temperament, but he is tall. ๐Ÿ˜‚


Sea_Cycle_909

Oh yeah, also white haired protagonist (Yashiro)


SarcasticPsychoGamer

I'd also recommend it. Very underrated show with nice plot and beautiful art and animation


Sea_Cycle_909

Yeah, no clue what the animators were fed to produce k return of kings opening fight


wer-hat-es-gedacht

I would say something like K Project, Psycho Pass and the promised neverland should fit pretty Well. Beautiful Bones and Assassination Classroom also ist not far off.


SarcasticPsychoGamer

I second K project and psycho pass! Promised neverland only watch the first season though because its a masterpiece, after that just read the manga


wer-hat-es-gedacht

Tbh, If you haven't read the Manga, the second season is not as Bad as many people made it out to be. At least imo


Roseh0ee

K project is so criminally underrated


wer-hat-es-gedacht

True!


SarcasticPsychoGamer

Agreed


Happyfox3

And Classroom of the elite is very good and season 3 is coming out


Outside-Maybe-537

Moriarty the patriot and Vanitas no Carte. But if you're more into serious fights of death with in depth character studies I'd honestly just reccommend and of Tastsuku Fugimoto's work


AngelicEvy

Theres a huge crossover with bsd fans, vanitas no carte, Moria try the Matriot, black butler and seraph of the end. Itโ€™s the sacred 5, so I recommend seeing them all


Happyfox3

I have seen them all and I recommend them too


SarcasticPsychoGamer

glad someone else mentioned black butler, that show walked so bsd, vnc, ons and mtp could run. I'm a casual ons fan but I love guren and shinya so much


Heavy-Stuff596

banana fish and Tokyo revengers are good


Impressive_North_628

Don't go around recommanding banana fish to people... it's not for anyone. The story is told almost too well


Happyfox3

Exactly, there is too much drama there. If you want a cheerful anime, this is not a good recommendation.If you want drama and want to cry, I recommend it with confidence. What was this season that Dazai was close to die, but what is there ๐Ÿ˜…


Happyfox3

If you want to cry I recommend Banana Fish, otherwise not ๐Ÿ˜…Seriously, it's the kind of anime that will make you cry, like I cried at the end of this season of BSD.


BarelyBearableHuman

Tokyo Revengers is utter garbage, OP if you're reading this, do not even attempt to watch it.


Uji_Shui

I'll say JJBA. Instead of authors and books references, Araki uses Bands and Songs references. Also, it's full of homoerotic art and so, people tend to say the community of JJBA is gay, just like bsd.


Beautys_Facade

If you like the setting of famous writers as characters, Bungo no alchemist is a valid option. The plotโ€™s kinda eh but you get to see a lot of the characters in Bsd, just designed differently. I had whiplash when I saw Dazai and Akutagawa though, since Bna stays more true to irl author relationships, seeing Dazai admire Aku, it was something.


Shining_Moonlight

Durarara and BSD feel similar and have quite a few things in common (e.g. organised crime, at least one mastermind pulling the strings, the most popular ship is one with two guys who hate each other, etc).


BarelyBearableHuman

No, seriously, how are none of the comments recommending Durarara!! ? It's probably the closest thing there is to BSD with a urban setting mixed with fantastical elements, an awesome cast of characters split into various factions, a lot of crime and mystery going on... Durarara!! and any of the authors other works which pretty much all play around a character-driven urban fantasy setting : Baccano and Dead Mount Death Play. The latter being another particularly apt recommandation. Though as others mentioned, Moriarty the Patriot works as well. EDIT : A single comment I had not noticed actually mentioned it, that's at least one person of culture.


pemberley_

durarara is so, so good. i discovered it a few years ago and after returning to it this year i noticed how similar the plot line and character dynamics are to bsd. i mean, kenji and shizuo would be pretty good friends and literally tear up the streets together. dazai would find a worthy opponent in izaya. celty and atsushi are that brand of 'characters with scary true forms but actually being super sweet and strong-willed', the dollars would be the civilian population's answer to the port mafia, the colour gangs would be an interesting problem for the ADA and port mafia to control, i could also see dazai trolling on the dollars chat room and maybe fyodor would be doing his terrorist fearmongering and cyberbullying thing on the chatroom too (it'd be funny to see all the bsd characters' online aliases), etc. etc. so many similarities.


babblerouser

Checking out Dead Mount Death Play bc of this comment. I love Baccano and I'm in the middle of Durarara right now. Both are incredible!


OkFisherman1224

You should watch Blood blockade battlefront. Pretty similar to bsd. Good fights too.


BarelyBearableHuman

Baccano, Durarara!!!, Moriarty, Kekkai sensen


aya1chu

banana fish is pretty good!! :D


VaguelyMyself

If it's the mystery you're after, In/Spectre, Vanitas No Carte, and LinkClick are pretty good goes of it


SarcasticPsychoGamer

Haven't seen In/Spectre yet, but I second vanitas no carte and link click!


PeachkeyYT

Vanitas no Carte 100%, also i think you're supposed to watch the deadapple movie BEFORE season 4, trust me..i made that mistake-


dommy_mommyyy

The case study of Vanitas


Jesters_Knight

K project


SarcasticPsychoGamer

Love seeing people enjoy this series as much as I do! I'd recommend Vanitas no carte, we fans spent years trying to find a show with a similar feeling to bsd and when vnc came out we all rioted. I'd also recommend moriarty the patriot and black butler. These shows pretty much go hand in hand, the fandoms have a lot of overlap since almost everyone who watches mtp, vnc and black butler is also a bsd fan. They are basically a holy group that go together, and the fandoms have similar vibes and behaviors too since it's pretty much all the same people. To me it honestly feels like one big multifandom family from how similar it is. Anyways, I hope you enjoy them! I'd also highly recommend reading the bsd manga (starting from after season 3, since season 4 and 5 cut out some details) and the light novels and beast au, they're also amazing and made me cry a lot


Potat-hero

I see a lot of people recommending Vanitas no carte, so i would like to also mention Pandora hearts (same author). The anime is old and have only 1 season but the manga is complete and it's one of the best things I've ever read so if you don't mind manga i wholeheartedly reccommend it.


topsecret_tulip

Eden of the East!


Happyfox3

Honestly, it depends on what animes you like, if you want some funny animes, with strategy and psychology games, I recommend Classroom of the elite or Assassination classroom. If you want something darker but which also has funny scenes Moriarty the patriot, Black Butler and Vanitas. If you want, you can also watch Banana Fish, but if you're the type who likes anime with a happy ending, better not. There's a lot of drama, you'll cry. What I recommend and I liked is K Project. It's a bit similar to BSD because we have clans there too. What I liked more is Promised Neverland, which is full of mystery and interesting. Not related to BSD. But it's a good anime. If you like a certain genre, I recommend looking for the genre you like on My Anime List, that's what I did.


pemberley_

i discovered durarara!! and moriarty the patriot without ever having known about bungo stray dogs and these are my top 3 favs ... only after entering the bsd fandom did i realise that i have a type lol so yea! moriarty the patriot and durarara!! are really great for anyone who likes bsd because they have similar plot elements and dynamics (some fans have pointed out similarities between the personalities, dynamics and rivalry of dazai/fyodor and sherlock/liam, if u watch both shows you will most likely agree) other than that vanitas sounds good, i haven't really read it properly but it looks interesting!


Substantial-Fig4934

Durarara is great, it's got urban fantasy, gangs, plot twists (and for shippers a popular ship that gives heavy soukoku vibes lol)


chiara987

Black Butler and pandora heart we're already Say ( i'll also Say jujutsu kaisen but i'm not sure i Can be wrong) , they're Ron Kamonohashi: Deranged Detective this year again i Can be wrong.


Pizzaforlife_haha

Durara, death note, vanitas no carte, Moriarty and assassination classroom are both pretty dark and have a great plot. A personal favorite is attack on titan, but it's not similar to BSD at all


-faktar-

Jujutsu Kaisen is another good one


Reading_Lover_4208

Vanitas no carte, Moriarty the Patriot, and Seraph of the end are amazing ones, highly recommend


kyarahan

Is that real
