Second Durarara!! TV Anime Announced
In 2010 Brain’s Base released a twenty-four episode anime adaptation of Ryohgo Narita’s Durarara!! light novels about the interconnecting stories of the numerous weird and wonderful residents of Ikebukuro – who range from gangs, to information brokers and a headless rider. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publication of the original novels, the cast and staff of the anime series revealed at the Dengeki Game Festival 2014 that a brand new television anime is in production, with Studio Shuka taking over the animation duties.
The new series will be set one year after the events of the first TV anime and will be produced by the same staff, with Noboru Takagi returning to the directoral chair along with character designer Takahiro Kishida, soundtrack composer Makoto Yoshimori and script supervisor Noboru Takagi.
Anime Limited will be releasing the first series in the United Kingdom on DVD and Blu-Ray on 24th March, following a subtitled-only DVD release from Beez Entertainment back in 2011.
