Looks like all the news that reported him not coming back will have to redact it.
But otherwise, someone needs to confirm about that report I saw on ANN.

Well to complicate things further, the official US website for Durarara credits Vic as Kasuka: http://www.durarara2usa.com/character/
So we might be facing the possibility of Aniplex screwing up on crediting the right actor or Blake got into trouble for leaking news of the dub a week early.
An AA rep needs to come out and explain the cast mess from their press releases and whether Blake's twitter is real or not...
Well Blake's twitter is verified. Let's hope Aniplex clears this up.

It would be awful if a recast was done to something that has to do with the tweet Blake made.
Episode 9
"This is disturbing."
Oh hey. I think those are the tan girls from the first season!
Awww I can tell Shizou's working so hard to practice self-control. :)
Hahahah awwww! Clusmy Celty! :D
Yay Celty finally took action, but it seems she can't stay to save him— oh… okay she did anyway.
Mikado should consider learning some leadership skills.
"Yes it was acquired as food." "You aren't thinking straight, are you?" "Affirmative." Hahahaha.
Celty saves them again in the subway too!
Woah! She can materialize the horse with a carriage too! Aww Celty is so awesome!
Seems like next week, we get Akane's back story.

I definitely heard Vic when I was watching the episode, so we can only assume the latter happened. Nondisclosures are Serious Business to begin with...

Yyyyikes.
Well that's a serious shame. I don't doubt Vic will do an alright job but they clearly got Blake back for the sake of consistency (Candalee Whitmore was either some unknown or a pseudonym) and him getting recast for such a stuff up is pretty sad. As serious as ND As are.
None of us didn't even notice his tweet until after the announcement was made.
Plus I still haven't finished S1 yet either, so I've barely heard his performance.
Appears that AA was serious about recasting Vic in Blake's place...
Though I do wonder, if Blake broke the NDA and got recast. Why did he still leave the tweet up?
You got me. I'll want to see that episode for myself too.
Episode 10
Man if only stopping bullying was that easy. Poor girl. Did her parents just not notice she was gone?! They didn't seem like they mistreated Akane!
Izaya supporting a little girl is so wrong, it circles around right and wrong 5 times! I bet Izaya ran away from home.
Masaomi found out it was Izaya who stole his handle. Everything goes back to Izaya.
Yikes. Kaduto's fight is all talking. It's about as slow as a fight in Dragonball Z!
HAHAHAHAA! THAT'S THE FUNNIEST HORSE FACE EVER!
And we end with the the Mel Blanc Daffy Duck voice! :D DAFFY DUCK IS IN THE DURARARA!! SOUNDTRACK!
Oh hey it's one of those guys from way back in the first episode!
So I finished the first season a few days ago and finally got to watching episode 1 of x2 dubbed today.
So far, I'm very interested to see where this season goes (well there is a whole year of content to watch anyway ) And the dub is good so far, nice to hear everyone back (especially Crispin Freeman and Steve Blum). Vic Mignogna's Kasuka sounds alright (even if Blake Lewis coming back would've been better. But oh well.)
Season 2 has a dub out?!
RIP Akira Toriyama, taken from us far too soon.Yeah. For the 1st episode as a simulcast for North America and other territories allowed by Crunchyroll and whatnot.
I'm in Manila for the long term (at least), so I can't watch it.
Yeah, it got dubbed a lot quicker than I thought it would. It's pretty good, too.
What's not good is the ending theme. Seriously, it's just awful. That horrible autotune completely ruins the whole thing.
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.I really like the end theme.
I like the ending theme too.
And yeah I caught up with the simuldub and it's pretty good so far.
Plus there's something incredibly amusing about hearing Steve Blum namedrop A Certain Magical Index.
Heard Brina there as the News 666 reporter.
Oh yeah, while I'm here:
Ugh 666 references...
It's one thing to make a spectacle. It's another to make a difference.Episode 11
In Which we find out if Kadota wins the battle tonight, On Dragonball Z Kai!
What is it with this season and focusing on the gray background characters all of a sudden??
Oh hey it's those two thugs that Celty wiped the floor with in Episode 1 of Season 1!
Yes! Finally Masaomi's gonna DO something!
Oh cool. They both beat each other to a pulp and now they're fighting on the same side yaaaay….
"So if that doesn't work, I want you to call the poLIEEEE-SWORD!??!? A SWORD!!? WHAT!!???" XD
lol Walker being a hero, and a silly ass.
Neko isn't the best at reconnocance.
Odd way to end this episode.
Hah, wasn't one of the guys in the kidnappers' posse the gangbanger that Izaya gave an impromptu shave in the first season?
That he was.
So I was just looking up stuff on Blake Lewis and I found this straight off his Twitter: https://twitter.com/BlakeLewis/status/571182289121628161
So looks it looks like he is coming back as Kasuka. Tweet was posted over a week ago, so I got no idea what's going on.
