Review on Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 11
Given that studio Bones had run out of content to animate for Bungo Stray Dogs season 5, the studio came out with a never-before-seen conclusion to the Vampire Infection Outbreak Arc. While some people may feel like the ending was rushed. However, that is far from the truth as each plot point was concluded at its own pace, without disrupting events that were taking place in other plot points.
Moreover, given that the series will return, there is a good chance that the manga author was consulted about the anime's ending.
Final thoughts on Bungo Stray Dogs season 5 episode 11
The end of the anime saw a mysterious enemy wielding the Amenogozen sword. From the looks of it, it looked like someone had taken control over Fukuchi or Fukuzawa. Atsushi and Akutagawa could be seen fighting it, as they were seemingly the only people capable of doing so. With that, the anime hinted that the series will continue in the future.
That said, studio BONES has no manga content to animate for the series. Therefore, it may take quite a few years before the anime's next season releases.
