It has been revealed that the second season of the TV anime Durarara!!, Durarara!!x2, to begin in January will be arranged into three parts. The three parts are Durarara!!x2 Shou, Durarara!!x2 Ten, and Durarara!!x2 Ketsu, and each will run for one season (three months). Shou will begin in January 2015, Ten will begin in July 2015, and Ketsu will begin in January 2016.
In recent years, the amount of two-season anime that broadcast the first season before going on hiatus and returning for the second season have been increasing, but a three-season anime is a rarity. This is a large-scale project that right out of the gate will span three seasons and last over a year.
The anime adaptation of Ryogo Narita’s popular light novel series Durarara!! broadcast from January to June 2010 and became hugely popular. Durarara!!x2 is the sequel to this popular series. This highly popular anime series will be a long one that spans five seasons in total.
The characters appearing in Durarara!!x2 and their voice cast have also been announced. Aoba, who has an interest in Mikado from The Dollars, will be played by Hiro Shimono, Vorona, a beautiful Russian girl who speaks odd Japanese, by M.A.O., Chikage Rokujo, a playboy who loves women beyond anything else, by Yuki Ono, and Mizuki by Kappei Yamaguchi. Also announced is the major debut of Yoshiyuki Toyonaga, the voice of Mikado Ryugamine, as an artist. Toyonaga was in charge of the theme song to the PS Vita game Durarara!! Relay. The title of the song is “Reason,” and it will release on Dec. 17. Fans are likely looking forward to hearing how Toyonaga will express the world of the series through song.
