Durarara!! (light novel)
| It is very sad to say this but durarara is coming to an end. I have been with this anime for so long and have been getting so attached to the characters over this long period of time. Since this anime is ending, i think it would be cool to talk about out favorite characters from this series. So list your favorite characters or list favorites if there is more than one character that you like the most or if you just want to give more characters a mention. Personally my favorite character, which has not changed since the beginning of the anime is Izaya Orihara. His personality is amazing. His philosophy on people is interesting and the way he manipulates people is always entertaining. While many things he does can be considered wrong, his reasons behind his actions and his reactions to situations make these cruel actions just another reason to love his character. Another character that i have been liking a lot recently is Kasane Kujiragi. Her seemingly blank personality is completely made up for when you start to see her true self and what she is actually interested in. She will have you confused, then laughing, then hyped, then thinking wtf. You can never predict her. It is also a little weird to say this but i also really like shizuo as a character. Izaya is still my favorite but i really like shizuo as well. He has some really badass moments. His character development is also fantastic with him coming to terms with himself and learning how to act more human Durarara has so many amazing characters and i would love to talk about all of them but tell me your favorite(s). |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| A tie between Seiji and Vorona (yes I'm that weird). Since the beginning I’ve been interested in both characters and I really like their character development for both of them. (I like Seiji more in the light novels though, he is more complex). As you said, I like Kujiragi for being so unpredictable, Mika and Haruna are in this category for me too. But really, even though I have characters who are my least favourites in Durarara, I can’t deny that I find every single one interesting (even the most secondary ones) I could talk about every single one of them for hours. |
| I like all the char in this anime because each of the character is unique, but if I have to pick one.. my fav char is Erika Karisawa because I like her otaku personality. |

| That one fuckin pedestrian that Narita never bothered to introduce... they are heroes the spirit of the time. |
 |
| Celty's probably my number 1. And then of course Shizuo, like most other fans of the show. I also like Erika and Anri. Mikado's definitely a fascinating character, as well. I'd like to go back one day and watch the series from the beginning, just to see how much he's changed...or more like, how long he went by hiding his true self. That aside, Izaya's sisters needed a bigger role. They're fun characters, so it's a shame they're barely around. |
| Shizuo definitely, then probably Celty. Izaya is also up there follow by characters like Kadota, Erika, Chikage, Vorona, and most recently Kasane. |

I think Izaya's sisters are supposed to have a bigger role to play in the sequel light novel titled durarara SH. Hopefully it gets an adaptation |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| Izaya definitely. The man is a dick, but he's a dick with such style you can't help but cheer him on. He manipulates, counter-manipulates, never loses his cool, and can go one-on-one with Shizuo. I also like Varona a whole lot for being 100% badass. And, like the people above mentioned, Kujiragi became a favorite of mine. She's like Izaya, only a lot less trolling and more cold and calculating. |
| You should make a poll |
| Definitely Izaya. Just love his personality. ^^ I also like Celty a lot. And Shizuo. Heck, they're all awesome. |
| Izaya DEFINES Durarara. The show can't exist without him. XD |
  |
| Shizuo and Celty. I just wish that we finally could get rid of Shitzaya.. |
 |
| Izaya, Shizou, Celty and Erika - on good days even Anri and Izaya's sisters perhaps. |
Why? What did it ever do to you? |
| Izaya's been my favorite since Day 1 but right now it's a tie between him and Shizuo because of his adorable manière d'être and hnnng Daisuke Ono Other favorite characters of mine include Celty, Vorona, Aoba and recently Kujiragi But honestly I don't even dislike my least favorite characters in this show. They all have their own special quirks and unique personalities (which is one of the reasons why I like this series so much)Sorry fam, Shizaya is and will always be canon and there is nothing you can do about it. Even the official art says so |

| My faves are Izaya, Shizuo and Celty. (previously Izaya is in my MAL top 10, now I replaced him with Shizuo) I also like Masaomi, Erika, Anri... well, I like most of Drrr characters. |

| For favorites on Durarara I can't really come up with a definite answer because I like everyone so much. Characters that are most enjoyable to watch are basically all of them except Kida because he's such a good kid and why does he have all these terrible things happening to him. WHY. Ok ok. Good people in the show I find to be my favorites like Kida, Shizuo, Celty (yellow is the color of friendship?) But characters I like as people? Only Shinra, Celty, Kida, Anri, and Shizuo. I honestly don't know why I became so obsessed with Shinra even though he's one of the most twisted in the show. It might be because I like the way he thinks and motives and such. Anri's a little more normal but there's an aching feeling of 'she's using them isn't she?' but she genuinely likes Mikado and Kida (like Shinra with Celty or Izaya with humans) so it's A-OK... I think. This show has such great characterization Q.Q |
 |
| shizuo is love, shizuo is life |
 |
| Shizuo and Izaya own the scene every time either are on screen(but both at the same time? nosebleeds. lots of nosebleeds.) In the end Celty and Shinra are my favorite characters, besides their great chemistry I love the awkward situations they're in and how cute they are with each other, and I can't wait to find that new special/ova/whatever of their date, it looks super cute ^-^ |
| Shizuo since the first season. But now my favorites are Shizuo, Vorona, Kadota, Erika, Anri, Celty, Akabayashi. I don't really like Izaya but i like the moment when Shizuo meets him. Iii-zaa-yaa.. |
 |
| Izaya and always Izaya xD~ |
| Tom Tanaka and Celty are my favorites. Tom is just... me, tbh. I'm paying attention 100% every time he's on the screen. :U I also really admire his true friendship-- to be honest, I often admire characters who stand out to me as true blue friends and don't just always take, probably because it's type of person I try to be and the type of person I try to hang around. Best Tom. Celty is just a really awesome character. I don't see too many female characters like her who don't also serve as fanservice for a lot of their time on screen. She's strong but she still has her own personality besides just "the strong one" or "strong one with tragic backstory and thus strong" like you might usually see strong females as. And instead of being the strong one whose purpose on paper is to pretty much aide the "leader"/MC or something, she's doing her own thing on her own quest: trying to find her head. The best part is, her quest isn't just in the background/doesn't just show up one episode, quest is complete in that episode, half-hearted development surrounding quest, and then the quest is never heard from again; her quest is a pretty big deal to the story. Like wow, Celty is a pretty awesome character. |
That is very simple |
 |
| Shizuo is my favourite :D |
| Masaomi, or Izaya. Masaomi is really good when it comes to comedy relief, and he can kick ass. Plus, watching his fight scenes always provide hype, that gets me ready for the next episode. Not only that, but the dude has balls; he took on the entire Yellow Scarves/Blue Squares-hybrid, and didn't back down. He even nearly killed Horada with a tire iron, for God's sakes. Izaya is just a dick, who gets his kicks from screwing with people. How can you not like a character like that? He's smart enough to set everything up in a way that resembles dominos, and then is able to knock them down in a certain way, that skips over some and affects others, leading to a huge mess for other people. I will admit, though, since LN vol. 4, or x2's start, he has been lacking like crazy. He is the same 'ol Izaya personality-wise, but in strength, he's losing the competition. |
| "I have to work harder than anyone else to make it! I'll never catch up otherwise...! I want to be like you...! Like you. The strongest hero."" |
lol. Durarara has a lot of characters so it is tough to pick just one |
| Grimgar season 2 please!!!! |
| Walker anyone?? :D Shizuo is second :) then Orihara sisters <3 |
 |
| Izaya I honestly don't know how I would rank the other characters after him. I like a lot of them almost equally. |
 |
Cant decide who is my favorite between Shizou and Walker their moments in the show are the most hilarious and entertaining to me. My third favorite character has to be Celty then Mikado who's insanity and the reasons for it I can understand. |
| Definitely Heiwajima Shizuo. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| It's three-way tie between Shinra, Celty, and Shizuo. Shinra's a bit quirky but he's also very helpful and accodomates everyone no matter who they are. There's something to be said about a guy who can be friends with people on opposite ends like Izaya and Shizuo. Celty has a good heart and also looks out for others too. Her concern for Mikado earlier on in the series and for Anri really speaks to her character. Plus, her determination and strength are also great. And Shizuo. Well what can I say about him that hasn't already been said by the posters above me? ^^ Despite the above, the character I am most interested in is Mikado. I'm very curious to see his role in these final episodes since Izaya places such importance on his actions. |
