Durarara!! is a stylish urban mystery set in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district, weaving together gangs, an online community, and a headless rider on a black motorcycle. Here's how to watch its interlocking seasons.
From the writer of Baccano!, Durarara!! juggles a huge ensemble cast whose stories collide across Ikebukuro. At its center is Celty, an Irish dullahan searching for her stolen head. The sequel seasons were released as a trilogy of cours with distinct subtitles, so knowing the order keeps the sprawling plot straight.
π Release Order
Release order follows the original season and then the three-part second season in sequence.
- Durarara!! (2010)
- Durarara!!x2 Shou (2015)
- Durarara!!x2 Ten (2015)
- Durarara!!x2 Ketsu (2016)
The three x2 cours β Shou, Ten, and Ketsu β are really one continuous season split into parts, so they flow directly into one another.
π Story Chronology
The story runs chronologically from the first season through the x2 trilogy with no flashback seasons to reshuffle.
- Durarara!! (2010) β the original Ikebukuro saga
- Durarara!!x2 Shou, Ten, and Ketsu (2015β2016) β the continuation
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch in release order: the first season, then x2 Shou, Ten, and Ketsu back-to-back. With so many characters and overlapping perspectives, skipping around would make the interconnected plot nearly impossible to follow. Pay attention early on, and the payoffs across the x2 seasons are hugely satisfying.
