(but you should really give this one 10/10 Ryohgo Narita is our lord and savior and the best story teller of all times!!!!!)
this is a review for the whole second series (that's ten and shou for now.)
I don't see any sense in reviewing them one by one because they are a continues story. When ketsu will come out Ill just move this review to that page and change the review a bit depending on ketsu.
After that's out of the way lets get to the actual review. durarara!!x2 is the sequel to the not so popular back when it aired, (you gusted it) durarara!!
the story of the second season start half a year after the first series. On the first episode of the series we have Mikado reassuring us that nothing has changed and that the series is still the same. ( and that all you need to know pretty much, you can now skip this whole review because that's this review`s bottom line.) But than we are introduced to some thing like 12 new characters that at first sight seem meaningless, but as the story progress you start to see how they affect the story more and more.
As always was the case with durarara!! the art and the animation is superb, with character design that always hits the point and keeps the characters divergent enough so that you can identify them, even if you don't remember their names. (which you should because remembering people names is very important in durarara with all the rumors always spiraling.) One gripe that I have with the art and animation is that the fight scenes look a little wonky at time, especially when you look at the knifes and Saika itself, for some reason Saika is curved in a very unnatural way and tends to shrink a get longer at the cameraman's will which is more prominent in fight scenes.
The music is still composed by the legendry Yoshimori Makoto which worked on other masterpieces like baccano!!. (Ryohgo Narita is our lord and savior and the best story teller of all times!!!!!) which does, yet again a splendid job at getting you in mood for the mystery and tension that is durarara!!.
In conclusion durarara!!x2 is still the same durarara!! only the stakes just got a lot higher. durarara is still the breath catching series that closes slowly on you until finally catching you showing you the most awesome thing in the world and than leaving you on the floor wishing that it will never stop, but it stops leaving you with an empty feeling for 2 months wondering aimlessly in the void of the world waiting in anticipation for when it comes back to play a bit and than leave you again only to this time it tells you that when it`ll be back it will bring so much new toys and games with him.
