Durarara x2 Shou (Episodes 1-12) Review

Durarara x2 Shou (Episodes 1-12) Review
Durarara!! x2 Shou is a series that definitely repays repeated viewings. It sets in motion several interconnected stories and nothing really gets resolved in these first twelve episodes. The US translation/dub is a real bonus when it comes to getting the most out of its delightfully, frustratingly convoluted plot strands.
