   Bryce Papenbrook as Masaomi Kida
   Michelle Ruff as Anri Sonohara

The dub, like the Japanese version that is currently airing in Japan, will be available in North America on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and the Aniplex Channel.

This will be Aniplex of America's first English dub to premiere while the series is still airing in Japan.

Takahiro Omori is directing the television anime at new studio Shuka with series composition by Noboru Takagi. Takahiro Kishida is designing the characters for the series, and Makoto Yoshimori is providing the music. Eri Yamazaki is designing the props, Hiromi Miyawaki is in charge of the color key, Norikazu Kamibayashi is serving as CG producer, Kazuhiko Seki is editing, Jin Tamura is in charge of photography, and the name of the animation's production group will be Ikebukuro Dollars (the same as the first season). The main cast from the original anime is returning to reprise their roles. OKAMOTO'S performs the opening theme "Headhunt" and Three Lights Down Kings performs the ending theme "Never Say Never."

Update: Kirk Thornton is serving as ADR director. Thanks, SpacemanHardy.

It looks like Aniplex of America may be going the FUNimation route, and jumping on the simuldub bandwagon. This is good for anybody who likes dubs or prefers dubs, as we are now getting them for shows much earlier than previously before. SAO II got dubbed pretty quickly as well.  I've never actually watched Durarara or its second season, but the plot seems interesting and the cast of English VA's for this anime is pretty great.

I always prefer Sub, though my Japanese is still incredibly weak. I'll be disapointed if the replace subbed simulpubs, they can be completely different shows.

I'll watch it subbed like the first series
