Review of Durarara!!

All this information also applies to X2 Shou and X2 Ten. The Good: -Storyline is interesting and completely character driven that will keep you hooked -Large cast of interesting characters. Shizuo is my favourite character in anime PERIOD. Well, as of right now. -MEIN GOTT the soundtrack is awesome. -Voice acting in the sub is spot on. -Dub, despite some hiccups, is still above average, and dub fans will be pleased. Hear the Freeman, BE the Freeman. -Animation in the first half of season 1? Unquestionably top notch for its time. -X2 ten with plot twists and ups and downs GALOREThe Bad:
-The main 3 characters (Mikado, Anri and Masaomi) are seriously the most bland characters in the show. They also get a lot of focus, and thus we don't actually have too much screentime on the actual interesting characters we like (Shizuo, Izaya, Celty, Shinra, etc). And while Mikado does get REALLY interesting in Durarara X2, Masaomi and Anri continue to stay bland as characters.
-Animation takes a dip in the second half, and X2's animation isn't too good either, but we should try to cut them some slack for X2, considering the animation is being done by Studio Shuka, who hasn't done any notable works, with X2 being their 1st notable project.
-X2 Shou is a bit slow, and you might be even a tad bored at some points.

Overall, pretty good. It still holds up to be one of my favourite Anime, and i can't WAIT for what X2 Ketsu has in store for us next year!
