Durarara!!
Link | by ocean on 2010-01-23 11:13:06 (edited 2010-07-18 20:41:00)
just thought i'd put a thread for this amazing series out there =)

EDIT: ok now that we've had a few more epies, i'll try to do a bit of a better summary *note there may be a few spoilers here and there... i'll try to keep em out though XD

So it starts off with this kid Mikado Ryuugamine who comes to ikebukuro, a large city, after being invited by his friend Kida Masaomi. Mikado is looking for a change to his monotone boring country life, he wants to be part of an adventure! Theres many other characters that Mikado either meets or is warned away from by Kida. These include some gang members, a russian sushi seller, an informant and a bartender/debt collector. And of course he sees the legendary "black biker". On his first day of school he also meets Anri and it looks like he has some feelings for her (and maybe kida does?). Each episode introduces and sort of explains a new set of characters and we get to see each of their stories slowly intertwine and come together to make a big picture...
What is this big picture you ask? well all we know is it has to do with this mysterious gang "dollars" and the kidnappings that are happening around Ikebukuro... looks like Mikado is going to get his wish for experiencing some excitement!


When i watched the first epie i must say i was extrememly confused... but the more you watch the more it makes sense! I personally like how each episode, although they are all almost like separate stories, come together with all the characters interacting XD The character's themselves are very fun to watch and really grow on you after a few epies i find ^_^

Well its my favorite winter anime series so far so what does everyone else think?

also i highly recommend either reading the manga or the few chapters of the short novel that have been translated since they are also awesome like the series =)

Edit 2:
So people dont have to look through the posts to find some of the links that were posted, i shall compile them here ^_^

It stands out on its own in a unique way. I really like how the author manages to intertwine the characters, while giving their perspective of the story. It sure is a change from the constant shonen-like stuff we people see on anime lately.

Right now, most interesting character (i think) is informant and sushi seller. They haven't played a prominant roll yet, (except for informant, but hes hiding stuff), so i'd like to know who they really are.

No.

I like how the characters are all connected together is this massive web of obscurity. This crazy plot might make me watch it over again once all the episodes are released. Mikado better grow some balls and ask Anri out or I'm gonna be pissed.

I've read the manga, but I haven't watched the anime; well I can't, for a few reasons. But I love it so much already. It's quickly rose on my list of favorite anime/manga. It'scurrently #2, who knows, maybe it'll even become #1

same here, I have only read the manga, have yet to watch the anime. Not many chapters for Durarara though. So far the headless knight is one of my fav character.

Lol I didn't touch the manga.

I've watch the anime 'til 13.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Shizuo does looks more into Russo Ladd.
But anyhow it's a must-see anime/manga!!

Izaya x Shizuo's fight = win!

It's a great thing they didn't stop on episode 12.
Because we need more and unrevealed secrets of each character!
This is why I am so liking this production and theirs anime/manga/author!

I claimed someone that I can't remember because photobucket is ended.

Izaya somewhat reminds me of Hibari kyoya

The New op and ed are simply amazing(the music and the videos)and I really liked "Trust Me" and "Uragiri no YÅ«yake" a lot besides that...the story seems to be getting more intricate and it evens adds more characters to the mix(I love huge casts of characters)Overall I was very impressed with it all and will count down the days til the next episode!

I personally enjoy the story line. For the start it seems like nothing more that a weird slice of life, but it is slowly moving forward with a plot. I just hope that it doesn't end with a lot of loose ends or plot holes. Still the Opening songs are very good, but I was not as impressed by the 2nd Ending.

I find it amusing everytime Shizuo throws something at Izaya.
It's wicked! I got to say that Izaya is totally epic, laughing while
smashing a girl's cellphone in one ep. I started reading Durarara after watched the 1st three episodes and I find the manga cool~

I really like Durarara! and have high hopes for the rest it's unique and has well developed characters. This one stands out from most.
