Double Decker! Doug & Kirill (Double Decker! ダグ＆キリル) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Sunrise. The series scheduled to premiere on September 30, 2018.[1] The production team features some of the staff who worked on the Tiger & Bunny series.[2]

Plot

In the city-state Risvaletta, while people go about their tranquil everyday lives, crimes and illegal drugs run rampant. Above all, a dangerous, highly-fatal drug named "Anthem" is casting a dark shadow on the streets. The "Seven-O" special criminal investigation unit whose speciality is to supervise the investigation of Anthem, institutes a "Double Decker System" policy of forming groups of two investigators, and all members are given nicknames.

One team consists of the veteran investigator Doug Billingham accompanied by the rookie Kirill Vrubel. This unconventional duo combines an aloof veteran detective who is hard to get a read on, and an inexperienced detective who is a little too eager.[3]

Characters

Douglas "Doug" Billingham (ダグラス･ビリンガム, Dagurasu Biringamu) / "Veteran"
Voiced by: Satoshi Mikami[4] (Japanese); Ian Sinclair[5] (English)
The most experienced member of Seven-O. Doug is a skilled professional in the field, but also displays a laid back, deadpan demeanor. He insists on exclusively using .38 caliber handguns because he considers them detective's weapons and is equipped with a complex gadget that can create Anthem-neutralizing bullets. His personal vehicle is a modified sports car resembling a DeLorean DMC-12 that is loaded with gadgets and is able to assume a high-speed mode. His signature color is red.

Voiced by: Kōhei Amasaki[4] (Japanese); Micah Solusod[5] (English)
Doug Billingham's new rookie partner, a former police constable with dreams of becoming a hero. Kirill is impulsive, cocky, and dense, contrasting with his partner's cooler personality.

Anthem Users
Users of the drug Anthem are split into three separate phases: Phase 1 – suspected usage, Phase 2 – Accelerating usage and Phase 3 – Anthem-induced Overdrive. The Seven-O cannot intervene until they determine a users has entered Phase 2 when they develop a distinguishing mark on their neck, and once users enter Phase 3, they can mutate and gain superhuman powers.

He stumbles onto a hostage situation in an abandoned factory building where the criminal Cyrus Martinez is demanding the release of Zabel Franken, an imprisoned executive of the criminal Esperanza organization. Although they are aware of the situation, Seven-O cannot intervene until Anthem is detected. Meanwhile Kirill sees this as an opportunity to be a hero, and when Doug Billingham enters the building through a pipe, he gives Kirill that opportunity. Once Kirill has determined that Martinez is an Anthem user Billingham subdues him while Kirill rescues his associate, Jefferson, who was also a hostage. Later, Kirill's boss transfers him out of his department into Seven-O where he is given the nickname "Perm", but he objects and takes the nickname "Okappa".

"Sarabo, Okappa Keiji" (さらぼ、オカッパ 刑事) 		October 7, 2018
Travis Murphy tells Kirill that has to return to his old police unit due to an administrative mistake, but is granted one week to prove himself at Seven-O. With two days to go, Kirill takes a tip-off of potential Anthem smuggling to Doug Billingam, but it only turns out to be animal smuggling and outside their jurisdiction. Suddenly they receive notice of a riot at Desperatio Prison in Ignis Base Island started by prisoner Henry Glen, possibly aided by the guard Rob Lotz. Doug suspects that Henry Glen used Anthem-induced Overdrive to produce genetic evolution and disguise himself. Doug finds Glen driving an ambulance and they give chase. They catch him as the Anthem mutation takes over, turning him into a beast, and Doug shoots him with an antidote. Later, Kirill is despondent at his lost opportunity to be a hero, to which Doug replies that he is only interested in ridding society of poverty and class distinctions. Surprisingly, Travis lets Kirill stay, but renames him "Buzz-Cut".
