| Sorry in advance if this thread is already somewhere in MAL, I'm sort of new so don't know how to find it. Any who, I've heard lots of great things about both of these anime. Also the fact that they were created by the same people interested me. So which one would you guys recommend? Which one has a better story? Which one is more mature? Thanks in advance |

 You've come a long way, baby. |
| dub - baccano sub - drrrr DRRR is better for a casual watch baccano is better for when you want a fast paced high action show |

| Baccano definitely. Durarara is only interesting during its first half. |

| On all counts I would say Baccano! wins, hands-down. It has snappy dialogue, a very interesting story, is fast -yet fluid- and is extremely well-done in all ways. A bit hard to follow if you're not paying close attention, but that, to me, is a plus and not a minus. I like Durarara!! so far, but not nearly as much as I liked Baccano!; and I feel like the former is kind of like a teenage version of the first. My brother has seen all of Durarara!! and he says that the first half is good but then the second half is kind of bad. I'll probably finish it one day though, just to see for myself. Durarara!! seems to be a bit more pretentious. |

| Baccano, by all means. It has a great timeline jumping and all the loose ends are tied by the end, because the novels have an arc format and therefore it doesn't need a sequel to answer everything. Durarara, on the other hand, is a continuous story and only the beginning of it was adapted, therefore leaving everything unresolved. It also has a straightforward storytelling and too much teenage angst. |

| Baccano it is haha. Thanks so much for the fast replies. If you still think Durarara is better feel free to try to change my mind! |
| Baccano, because it ends, whereas Durarara just leaves you hanging, despite also being a great watch. |

| Overall, Baccano. |
| I prefer Durarara because the first half of Baccano is confusing as hell but both are excellent. |
| Baccano, it's not even close. Of course then there's Kimura said: Inferno Cop. |
| I would say Baccano. The only problem with Durarara! was that it put the focus on the wrong characters. |
 |
| Baccano does have better storyline/plot overall. While DRRR have good plot as well, it has a huge fandom base. (me) |
| Both. I prefer Durarara, but both series are excellent shows. |

| I dunno, but I thought Baccano was crap though. |
