The comings and goings of anime streaming are ongoing and back in October, another series was closing in on an expiration date. Netflix had listing the original season of Durarara!! with an October 9th, 2018 departure date. The series has been on the service for some time and we’re definitely used to Aniplex USA, who holds the rights to it, moving around properties or letting them get some time off. This one didn’t spend as much time offline as we expected as they’ve now brought the show back this week with the first season streaming again.
The main staff includes Takahiro Omori directing based on scripts by Noboru Takagi and character designs by Takahiro Kishida. Animation production is being done by studio Shuka, their first production, instead of Brains Base which handled the first series.
Plot concept: A pitch-black headless motorcyclist who roams the city?! High-tension suspense and action are taking over Tokyo’s Ikebukuro District! Warped romances and friendships – and plenty of hidden secrets – lie behind these big city walls!
