Is the Strange+ Anime Really Finished?
#

If you are looking to dive into Strange+, it is important to understand the scale of the story. The anime adaptation consists of two seasons, starting with the original Strange+ and followed by the sequel, Sin Strange Plus.

While the anime run has concluded, those seeking a truly satisfying and complete conclusion will likely need to turn to the source material. The Strange+ manga had an extensive serialization period of 16 years, eventually ending in October 2018 with a total of 20 volumes. Given the longevity of the manga compared to the two anime seasons released in 2014, the anime serves as a great introduction, but the manga is where the full story resides.

Buy the Strange+ manga to see the full conclusion.

Themes and Appeal: Who is this for?
#

Strange+ is categorized as a “gag detective anime.” It is best suited for viewers who enjoy fast-paced comedy, absurdist humor, and mystery elements played for laughs. If you appreciate lighthearted series that don’t take themselves too seriously, this is a great addition to your watchlist.

You can watch the anime on Prime Video to experience the humor for yourself.
