Ryuugamine Mikado is a boy who longs for the exciting life of the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi, he transfers to a school in Ikebukuro. Masaomi has warned him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a champion fighter, an informant, and a mysterious gang called "Darazu." Nervous from Masaomi's stories, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city, the Headless Rider astride a black motorcycle. From then on, the existence of supernatural cases and a gang called the Yellow Turbans will rise to the surface, and Ikebukuro will pushed to the breaking point.

I watched this show due to the hype surrounding it, however sadly, I found the show lacking in quite a few departments. Whilst some of the characters were at least crazy enough to hold my interest, the show didn't bring them across in any way that made me feel anything for any of them. The storyline itself is enough to keep you watching just to know what happens next, but once you reach the end and are left with a conclusion that can barely be called that, you're left wondering why you watched it in the first place really.
It was alright, but I woulnd't watch it again.
