Durarara!!

A new-ish anime that premiered on Adult swim not too long ago, I was surprised to see how good it was. the first episode was 'ugh this is boring', but the second episode was o'h gawd this is amazing'.

Plot: (copypasta'd from wiki)
Mikado Ryūgamine is a young boy who longs for the exciting life of the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi Kida, he leaves home to go to a high school, Raira Academy, in Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Masaomi warns him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a violent man dressed like a bartender, an information broker, and a mysterious gang called "Dollars." And, to top it off, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city: the "Black Rider," the supposedly headless pilot of a black motorcycle.

The narrative follows all of the characters equally, showing how their lives intersect, creating a greater plotline from what each character knows about a common incident.

It has awesome music too to boot.

I highly recommend this anime to anyone looking for something new.

also izaya is the greatest ever.

This anime is fucking great.

Made by the Baccano people so you know it's great.

Izaya is a wonderful human being.

I didn't know they made Baccano, but I had a feeling, everytime I searched Durarara somewhere, Boccano stuff was mixed with it. ><

They even take place in the same universe.

The company Namie works for is the same one that built the flying pussy-foot and Isaac and Miria have a cameo in some episodes.

Ah, I'm not familiar Baccano, but cameos are always cool.

I watched the first half up til

Spoiler:

I stopped for a bit but im gonna get back to it soon. There were also some nice celtys at otakon and some fat ones.
I think Izayas cool but Shizuo's got that manly charm. and hes cuter too

So, let us discuss how fan-flippin-tastic Shizuo is.

Spoiler:

Theres baccano references EVERYWHERE.

The ep where Shizuo is going "EVERYTHING IS SHIIIIIIIIT" theres literally just "BACCANO. PLAYING IN THEATERS" when they're talking about his brother.

Theres a point in the opening I think, or its an episode where you can see Jacuzi fighting the dude with the flamethrower ontop of the Flying Pussy Foot

And Issac and Myria are in the dollars. Lol.
