Having all these elements in Durarara are what make it so great, you have the relationships in it that you want to see through to the end, bits of fighting scenes that shock you and may even make you laugh, and then learning about certain characters and what makes them tick. This aspect is one i loved, you seem to learn more and more about each character in Durarara as it progresses. Its also unique in how the narrator changes each time to give you a new feel for each episode. I just don't want to say too much in the hopes you check it out for yourself.
So that being said, this was a very good anime and is worth being checked out.
