Story: Story? What’s that? It’s the damn Baccano! look-alike it doesn't need a damn story, but okay for the sake of writing a story, I will TRY to explain the things...simply put there are a lot of characters, bizarre characters and oh yea supernatural ones too...taking place in the Japanese town of Ikebukuro the anime follows the adventures of the different characters in short segments and how each of this segments overlap each other to form a much bigger plot. Yes the kind of plot which is too exciting for pulp fiction addicts like me....takes a cue from Baccano! But still I think it achieved its goals perfectly and this is Durarara!!

Animation: Nice art which does a great justice to animation well I particularly have no complaints about it since the style of the story-line compensates for everything else.

Music: This one’s predecessor, Baccano! had some awesome Jazz music so this one doesn't disappoint either...from my Favorite 1st opening (Blow up Loud!) to the occasional blues-jazz background music I loved it all...

Summary: Overall as I said before a must-watch for those who are fond of such crazy intertwining plots...the ride for the head through this anime is really something to cherish. Such an innovative idea in shaping up the story makes it one of the most loved story-lines for me. Having contrasting characters with a touch of comedy makes it just something one should not miss...Just one of the anime I hold in my highest regard and we are also getting a 2nd season for it soon, now don’t that make it more easy to understand the awesomeness of this anime?....so just go on and watch it...
