Durarara!! (light novel)
| There's no really "goal" of the anime, and it's just observing these unique characters jumble about in their everyday life. Sure, there's characters that want to achieve something, but that's blended in also with half the cast just carrying out what they usually do and getting dragged in on the bychance. But I guess each character does have something they want to achieve, which I'll explain in detail here with anime-spoilers: I feel like most of Narita Ryohgo's works consists of you watching a series of events unfold. The characters are literally just doing their own everyday life thing, and the whole event results from coincidences (and in DRRR's case, Izaya's mischief as well). The main thing to note is that even in the novels, the plot of drrr isn't very clear; all we know is that celty's head is involved, celty probably will be involved, and a lot of gangs and Izaya. And when you consider that this series adapted only the introduction to the high school trio, I think it's sometimes necessary to just accept DRRR as a series of events happening over the span of the anime that drags in the main characters without much of a plot curve. I personally really like DRRR because of the plot twists and character twists. That's really it, and the story progression definitely isn't what i would call a highlight of drrr, so maybe at the end of the day, the storytelling narrative style just isn't your thing :P |
