Haiiii~ (~◠▽◠)~♥

It's the first review of the year and my favorite show is back! Last Durarara!!x2 season is upon us!

NOTICE: This is a first impression review, it will be updated once 6 episodes are out and then again once it finishes airing. Also, I wouldn't recommend reading this review if you didn't watch both the original DRRR!! and 2 seasons of DRRR!!x2 (which I previously reviewed) because this review might contain some minor spoilers for previous seasons.

Now isn't this great? I'm sure they will wrap up things in the most interesting way possible, but for now let's review based on the first episode!

STORY

So the first episode is sort of a recap of what the hell is going on so far. Which is needed considering this show is based on a lot of dialogue and 15+ characters are not making it any easier. And yeah to fully understand the story you have to be really focused all the time (same with monogatari series, which I mentioned in my previous DRRR!!x2 reviews).

Following this story might not be easy, but it's totally worth it. The story is interesting, funny and full of character conflicts which are more than entertaining.

Now, if you watched all the previous seasons of DRRR!! you might have noticed what I noticed. It sort of feels like the story is going in a circular motion. In the end everything is again based on Yellow Scarves, The Dollars and Saika, but this time there's much more development (including Celty's head)

In conclusion, I love the story, it's still brilliant after so many episodes and I can't wait to see more. 9/10

ANIMATION

Well, I don't have anything to add considering my previous DRRR!! reviews.

The animation is still brilliant, detailed, polished and unique. And I have nothing negative to say so far. 10/10

SOUND

Same as animation, amazing OP, incredible sound quality and voice acting. I would even say that this quality is top-notch when it comes to the anime industry.

If more anime had this sound quality, world would be a better place. 10/10

CHARACTERS

Nope, this anime still has 48 relevant and developed characters that are all heavily involved with the story. Or is it just me?

I just love how everyone is included, everyone has a purpose. I feel like this anime has no ''side characters'' because of that.

The only negative thing I can say is that there are so many characters that it gets sort of hard to follow each and every one, and despite of the number of episodes, I still can't remember half of their names. Still, 9/10.

OVERALL

Woow, isn't this anime great? Kind of breaks my heart that this is the last season BUT HEY I can't wait to watch the upcoming DRRR!! series coming out sometime in 2028.

Jokes aside, this is one of my favorite anime series in the world, it's so good and every episode is enjoyable.

Since it's only ep1, the rating will be symbolic. Since last 2 seasons were great, I'll give it 9.5/10 so far and see what happens when more episodes come out.

That's it! Thanks for reading my review! I'd recommend this anime to all Durarara! fans (yeah you! if you didn't catch up do it now!), and everyone who's ready for a great anime! (make sure to watch S1 and x2 Shou and Ten first)

Rate if you found this review helpful, funny, or just like it. I have more anime reviews so check them out if you want!

Thanks and have a nice day ^^
