There are many interesting characters this season.

To become a successful anime nowadays, you have to meet all the criteria: high-quality animation, intriguing plot, dynamic storytelling. However, the greatest attention fans usually pay to the characters. After all, it is easier to determine whether the hero is liked or not. Though any assessment will be subjective.
This season there are many interesting characters. For example, the melancholic Frieren. Another memorable character is the extravagant detective Ron Kamonohashi, who is perfectly complemented by Totomaru Isshiki. Their relationship develops over the course of the story and becomes more and more entertaining with each new episode.
However, it seems that we've already seen something like this before…
Plots are very similar
Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions (Kamonohashi Ron no Kindan Suiri) and Bungo Stray Dogs (Bungou Stray Dogs) have a very similar plot. They are primarily detective anime. Therefore, they entertain viewers with mysteries and unusual twists. The story revolves around a loser whose life changes after meeting an extraordinary man. They are surrounded by secondary characters who interact with them and help move the plot forward. Episodes are very often centered on a particular case the main characters are dealing with. They have a similar pacing: you can't say that the action unfolds too fast or too slow.
Perhaps the only noticeable difference is that Bungo Stray Dogs has a central plot from the first episodes, while Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions has just subtle hints of the main mystery. That's not surprising, since Bungo Stray Dogs has more than one season.
Easy to swap
The characters of Ron Kamonohashi's Forbidden Deductions and Bungo Stray Dogs are very similar. First of all, the main character is very unlucky. Totomaru works very hard at the police station, but his efforts don't help him investigate crimes. His colleagues laugh at him and his boss does not take him seriously. Atsushi is an orphan who is thrown out of the shelter. He has no money even for food. Despite all the difficulties, Totomaru and Atsushi are very kind and helpful. They even treat villains and criminals with understanding.
Ron and Dazai are their opposites. They are very different from the naive Totomaru and Atsushi, but not evil. Both Ron and Dazai are highly intelligent, which helps them solve problems and move the story forward. Totomaru and Atsushi serve as a complement to Ron and Dazai's complex characters. Their interactions are often comical and one of the most memorable elements of the series. Nevertheless, Totomaru and Atsushi's stories are very important to the plot. Perhaps they resonate even more with viewers.
