Durarara
Originally released in the UK back in 2011 by Beez, Anime Limited made the announcement earlier this month about their acquisition of Durarara!! The new release, which will be landing in the first quarter of 2014, is getting a significant bump up compared to what came before as they’ll be releasing it in two hybrid BD/DVD sets with the dub included. To celebrate the recent acquisition, the team at Anime Limited has put together their own trailer/promo for the show which marks the second video from the company to be posted so far to their YouTube Channel.
Plot concept: Ikebukuro, Tokyo. Mikado Ryugamine is a young man who yearns for the city like no other. At the invitation of his childhood friend, Masaomi Kida, he leaves his hometown and enters Raira Academy in Ikebukuro. Masaomi warns Mikado about the mysterious organization of unknown origin known as the “Dollars” and some dangerous people in Ikebukuro to watch out for. In particular: the brawling champion Shizuo Heiwajima and hobbyist information broker Izaya Orihara.
On his first day out in the city, Mikado, remembering another of Masaomi’s stories, sees a jet-black motorcycle being driven by the fabled “Headless Rider.” From then on, a series of random attacks and events begins to occur on the streets of Ikebukuro, and a group known as the Yellow Scarves arises as Ikebukuro begins to crumble!
