Double Decker! Doug & Kirill English Sub & Dub

About Double Decker! Doug & Kirill

Double Decker! Doug & Kirill blends action, comedy and sci-fi by Sunrise (2018). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: The once peaceful metropolis-state of Lisvalletta has found itself beset by a dangerous new drug called Anthem. The side effects of the drug allow the user to enter a state of Overdrive, wherein they mutate into superpowered beasts with inhuman abilities.

From there, with the police powerless to stop this new threat, the responsibility falls upon the Special Crime Investigation Unit SEVEN-O. To offset the dangers of this work, the investigators work under the patented "Double Decker" system, which requires them to team up in "buddy cop" pairs. As a child, average police officer Kirill Vrubel fantasized about being a hero who would save his school from a random terrorist attack.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.

It aired in 2018, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
