DurararaX Shou Final Thoughts

Durarara X Shou or Durarara season 2 picks up where season one left off and kinda where the OVA does to. We are re-introduce to our old favorites as well as new characters such as Varona a Russian assassin hired to kidnap a Yukaza daughter along with her partner, Egor who has some connection to Anri  and Varona  and is wrapped up in bandages most of the episode, Aoba who we around episode 7 finds out he is the leader of the BLUE SQUARES,  Akane who is the daughter of a yakuza boss and the one who ends up getting kidnapped by Varona, Ruri who turns out to be the Hollywood Slasher and Chikage who end up getting beat up mutiple time through out the series (the worst being from Shizuho) defending  women  and  is the leader of a biker gang.

Not much happens in this first  half. This Half was mostly focus on introducing the new characters and re-introdcing the old ones. Episode 12 concluded the big fight that took place around the end of episode 11. Shizuho ends up quitting the DOLLARS due to the misunderstanding Aoba caused which caused the big brawl in the first place. Shizuho ended  up getting Akane back from Varona  and most of the loose ends are tied up but typical Durarara fashion they weren't about to end this show without adding some more loose end for us to try to fix

First off Varona get drugged and kidnapped and the people who kidnapped her work at the Russian sushi house in the city.

Second this happen.

Mikado end up taking Aoba deal of becoming the leader of the BLUE SQUARES  because he didn't like the direction the DOLLARS was going in and after  what Chikage told him after the brawl it really made him feel that he was being left behind by the ever changing DOLLARS.


and lastly this happen

Not gonna lie i laugh at this part. That right our favorite person we love to hate Izaya got shanked while trying to escape the city. I find it ironic seeing how he's always carring a knife and  he got stabbed with a knife.

Story 7
Noting really interesting but you don't feel bored while watching it there are good moments that makes you say WTF(like Mikado stabbing Aoba in the hand) or who the hell is that?

Art 6
I got the feeling they change a few characters look i get that this takes place a year after the events of the first Durarara but i would have like if they didn't make it blantly obvious that they change Izaya and Shizuo face.

Plot-8
Dependng on the episode the plot is interesting the first few focuses on the Hollywood slasher the next on the kidnapping and the last the whole DOLLARS falling apart. Each sub arc is interesting in its own way.

Overall 7.5

This season was mostly build up to the second season of DurararaX shou 2. SO  basically we are getting a second season, to a second season.(second season-ception) The second half of the second season is suppose to premier in July so i will be on the look out for that.
