x2 Ketsu, the third and final season of Durarara! We're finally at the conclusion, it hasn't been the longest ride, but with so many characters with stories all intertwining together, it feels a lot longer than it is. I'm sad it's coming to an end, but glad, because it all built up to the ending it deserves.
I've said this in the other reviews, but the portrayal of Celty and Shinra's relationship is one of my favourites. Since she's so different, but yet there's no barrier with them.
Mikado isn't in the best place, Masaomi wants to save him and Anri doesn't know what's going on between the two of them, but starts to learn more about Saika.
Things start to get serious pretty fast, most of the important people are hulled up in Shinra and Celty's apartment. New characters come in again to help bring the story all together, and we're given even more background information for those characters and the ones we already had.
This series is so information based, so if you haven't paid attention, then you'll probably end up pretty lost.
Like the second half of the second season, there's something missing compared to the first. It's nothing specific, just.. something. It doesn't take away from the enjoyment, but if you notice it, trying to figure out what it is gets a little annoying.
But it has some of the most intense parts of the series, like the last couple of episodes. Just, wow. You know when you hold your breath, something is good.
It definitely made me teary. It's a real ending, it feels like an end. You are left with a couple of tiny questions ticking in your head but it's nothing important.
If for some reason you're reading this before watching the other seasons, do yourself a massive favour and watch this series. You won't regret it!
