By far the best modern anime I have gotten to watch :D . Only wish there was more :' -( . The art style is breathtaking and the characters are extremely lovable. Durarara is a real treat for anime pros :D.

It was quite confusing at the beginning, but in the end it was pretty cool. Whole story had lot of narrative lines and was really complex. I laughed a lot on one hand and on the other I was really thrilled. This anime is worth watching, just don't get dissappointed after first few episodes. I totally recommend this :)

I was seriously at the side of my chair when i was watching this. Although it's rather slow paced and filled with introductions in the beginning, it gets really good.

If you're looking for something like Bleach, then I don't think you'll like this. It's not the LOL type comedy either. The one word I can use to describe this anime is "unique". The characters are "unique". Izaya is one of my favorite fictional characters. It's interesting to watch how the characters are all tied to each other. It's fun to watch the story unfold. And of course, the "forever enemies" relationship between Izaya and Shizuo is one of the best aspects of this anime.

before i write, this series was originally a light novel (read it if you want to)
NOTE: the summary, IT's "yellow scarves" not "yellow turbans" the yellow guys don't even wear a turbans.
This series includes just too many things for me to list.
Basically it's a slice of life with supernatural/dark aspects = a very unique storyline.
Also with the different perspectives in the story (i think there are 6-8 different perspectives going on at once).
The plot for me was a big surprise. I just thought it was slice of life until Celty showed up. ( read more)

Also there is a big twist in Celty's quest midway through the series (if you have a very imaginative mind and can imagine wat the twist is ..errr I Apologise for the spoiler). Without spoiling anything, it feels unfinished as the "happy endings" don't happen instead wat i would call "half-happy endings" happen. As in the characters don't achieve wat they set out to do but they have achieved something else (obviously something happy/ good) ( show less)

Durarara!! (デュラララ!!) is a light novel written by Ryohgo Narita and illustrated by Suzuhito Yasuda. There is both a manga (illustrated by Akiyo Satorigi) and anime (director Takahiro Omori studio Brain's Base) adaptation. It has a large cast of main characters including Mikado Ryūgamine (who is new to Ikebukuro), an anonymous gang called Dollars, and a modern Dullahan.

This was an anime that had all the things I was looking for: good music, plot twists, action, fantastic animation and of course amazing voice actors in both English and Japanese.
Durarara had an unexpected dark plot to it (should have guessed from the dark animation) but that did not detract any of the entertainment from it. The only downside was probably the story felt a little unfinished... only a little (seeing as Celty never did accomplish her initial goal). However the character introductions, layout of the episodes and speed meshed together ( read more)

The only downside was probably the story felt a little unfinished... only a little (seeing as Celty never did accomplish her initial goal). However the character introductions, layout of the episodes and speed meshed together well to create an anime that left me begging for more.
The dialogue held quite a number of my favourite voice actors from English dub's Johnny Bosch and Crispen Freemen to Japanese dub's Hiroshi Kamiya and Jun Fukuyama. They were all well suited to each individual character regardless of the language and brought the characters more to life. The character themselves were well done. The unexpected character traits that are revealed over the course of the story kept me second guessing everything and also added to the comedy.
Lastly the music, its been awhile since I found an anime where I loved the opening and ending songs so it gathered a full thumb up from me. The soundtrack within the anime was well chosen/written and was used at the appropriate times. The soundtrack also didn't draw away any attention from what was going in the scene but added to the mood of the moment which was good.
Now I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes action, school life tinged with a small dose of romance, good old slap stick comedy and of course a large amount of dark conspiracies. It moves at a good speed so there's never really a dull moment in the anime and the comedy flows through the anime the whole way through. ( show less)
