My place for telling, ranting, and sharing

FINALLY!!! I finished watching the anime.. fiuhh.. Sorry because i wanted to watch it on a HQ form.. so i download-ed it. :D

Durarara!! is about a number of unusual people who gather in Ikebukuro, Tokyo--- a youth who yearns for an un-mundane life, a hoodlum, a stalker denpa-girl, a young man who deals in information ‘for fun’, a black-market doctor, a high-schooler obsessed with magic, as well as a ‘headless rider’ riding a pitch black bike.

These unusual people begin a series of abnormal stories that never fail to create headaches. But, although their personalities are all twisted— they still talk about love.

9.7/10

There are alot of characters here in Durarara, and even me to make a whole summary and impression lists of all of them would take a whole day (collecting the photos to attach).
At the first half of the episode, they basically tell you stories of each character and i found it very interesting since they are all related to each other, while they slowly introducing you to the main conflict.


Plot:
Simple but interesting.
Well it's not really simple because they made it so complicated by linking it to many characters, but the main point is simple.
What makes it interesting is the way they tell you the story, and the awesome characters *coughizayacough*
Seriously, if the characters are not that good, this would not be my fav anime, it won't even caught my attention to watch it. 


Music:
The 1st ending was brilliant.. I mean, most of the songs are.

The very first character that i'm attracted to, as mentioned in my previous post, is  

He is actually able to manipulate people by creating a situation and the people acted according to his prediction. Yet he's making a good use of those people, like transporting stuff he's supposed to.
Example from the last episode when that big guy came to hand him the gun for his other work, and Anri came to him as he predicted.

 

Anyway, enough with my Izaya-bias, here's my second fav character,  

Well this guy.. a typical boy character you can find in any shoujo manga:  
handsome, hyper, fun guy who has a sad past.

Being voiced by Mamoru, sometimes he reminds me of Ouran's Tamaki, not just because of his voice..

he loves to pick up girls as well...


except that he always fails to do so, not for Tamaki though..

When you've totally break his short patience, he will grabbed anything anywhere and started to bombard you or knocked you down without hesitating what method he will use.


He also got a monstrous strength....
Judging from the picture ^, if a person like him existed in real life, your brain would have told you to stay away from him right?




and a sign pole is one of his loyal weapon around the town since his childhood.

and his ETERNAL enemy is Izaya, and vice versa.. (even if he's Izaya's enemy, it doesn't mean i am too! =p)


Apparently, Izaya is the only one who's able to dodge Shizu-chan's attack, as well as Simon.
*Note: Shizu-chan is a nickname for Shizuo by Izaya, and Shizuo hates this nickname.
 
It started since high school, it was a love hate at first sight.
Shinra, Izaya, and Shizuo are schoolmates before.
and i love how Shinra introduced him, “He’s not a good guy…rather, he’s an asshole.”


Izaya only got serious in fighting only with Shizuo, since he took out his knife.

This sexy cat-helmet motorbiker is Celty. She's pretty much a deliverer, and most of her job is given by Izaya.
Not a deliverer as in postman, but a more imporant/ illegal stuff to be delivered.






She wore the helmet most of the time she's out, since she doesn't want to freak people out for being headless.


Yes, headless. 

she was cut by a sacred/magic sword that can separate her head and body without killing her. Her head is apparently nowhere to be found yet, and she's still searching for it. 

It's been 10? 20? years since she's searching for it, and she's living with this guy named Shinra.
