Synopsis

In Ikebukuro, the lives of its citizens continue intertwining with each other as if their fates are predestined. Mikado Ryuugamine is now one step closer to his goal of living an exciting life, and in turn, delves deeper into the darker side of Ikebukuro. After gaining absolute control over a former rival, he uses his newfound power as he pleases, purging the Dollars from the inside to mold it into the ideal organization. This proves to be as challenging as it sounds as Mikado must now deal with unwanted outside interference, most notably a re-emerging and dearly missed friend. Meanwhile, Izaya Orihara still has some schemes up his sleeve, although a rival information exchange center has proven to be quite the hindrance, lurking within everyone's favorite downtown district. Undoubtedly, sooner or later, chaos will strike again.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the second season of Durarara!!, and it's back with a vengeance. Durarara!!x2 Ten takes everything that was great about the first season and cranks it up to 11, with even more drama, suspense, and supernatural phenomena.

Once again set in the bustling city of Ikebukuro, Durarara!!x2 Ten picks up right where the first season left off, with our favorite cast of characters dealing with the aftermath of the chaos that ensued. But things are far from settled, as new threats and challenges arise, and secrets are revealed that threaten to upend everything we thought we knew.

But fear not, my dear ...

Mixed Feelings

I am very disappointed by the gradual fall in the quality of Durarara. It was one of the most innovate and interesting stories, with all the light novels and manga volumes they had. At first I was very happy that the series will have so many seasons, but, as usual, quantity reduces the quality. To be honest, the last season i kind of forced on myself, since I just wanted to have a complete finish. But it was rushed, there wasn't the same excitement about episodes like it was before. The only thing that I really liked was OST. I think it's okay if you ...

Durarara!!x2 Ten starts with a pretty solid opening, giving you a taste of the setting and the characters with a song that reminds me a bit of the openings used in the original show. Once the opening ceases, Durarara!!x2 Ten proceeds to spin its wheels for the next 20 or so minutes. And eventually, it just gets stuck in the mud.

I had my problems with Durarara!!x2 Shou, the follow-up to 2010's Durarara!!. My main issues with Shou were that it seemed to meander aimlessly for long stretches of time, its comically bad animation, and its disinterest in actually keeping the audience engaged with its characters. ... It was ugly, unfocused, and boring. So going into x2 Ten I thought "surely, this has to get better."

It doesn't get better. It gets much, much worse.

If you cared about the lingering questions from season 1 such as "Will Celty get her head back?", "What's with the Saika thing?", "How will the conflict between the rival gangs end?", or "Who will come out on top in the rivalry between Izaya and Shizuo?", you're out of luck. None of those questions are answered in Ten, just as they weren't in Shou. The story mostly just floats along without a care for what the audience is actually watching the show for. Ten just slings more subplots on top of the pile, regardless of whether or not they tie into the plot points that weren't resolved in the original show.

Whatever semblance of a story that remains is confounded by the poor storytelling. Somehow, the story of Durarara!!x2 Ten is riddled with redundant dialogue and yet still manages to be confusing. Characters often repeat things that have already been said or the viewer already knows, and for the most part the narration used is never actually needed. Like everything else in Ten, it's excessive. Combine that with the occasional out-of-chronological-order storytelling and the sheer number of characters featured in Ten, and you can probably understand why the Durarara!! series has faded in popularity despite the continued installments.

Maybe you're like me and you're only watching because you want to know what happens to Celty. In which case, this has been a pretty miserable ride, hasn't it? Celty was my favorite part of the original anime. She was an unpredictable force that brought life to any scene. She's a dorky and awkward Dullahan who wears a yellow kitty helmet, rides a shadow motorcycle that's an extension of her body, carries a scythe, and communicates with people by showing them what she types on her cell phone. You'd think a character like that would continue to be featured heavily in the later installments, right?

Nope. Celty's character is further diluted in x2 Ten, where she basically just twiddles her thumbs in Shinra's apartment for the entire story. Her quirky personality is muted any time she's actually in a scene, and her motivation as a character appears to have been completely abandoned. Her reason for being in Ikebukuro is that she wants to recover her head. This is pretty much never mentioned in x2 Ten, which makes it pretty difficult to care about anything she does.

TL;DR

If you're a fan of the original anime and want to know what happens with all the plot points that weren't resolved, Durarara!! x2 Ten won't give you any answers. If you didn't watch the original, x2 Ten is so damn confusing that there's no way you'd be able to understand what's happening. It doesn't really work as a sequel nor does it stand on its own.
