CMRenji Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 [center][img]http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/12500000/Durarara-durarara-12545497-600-303.jpg[/img][/center] So I've been watching this anime since it's been on, missing a few episodes every once in a while, and it has been very confusing for me to follow. At first I thought it was about a violent city filled with gangs and the "black rider" was a mysterious vigilante trying to rid the city of gangs. Then, it turns out the black rider was a chick who's looking for her lost head and the Mikado guy is the leader of the dollars. Now, I find out that Masaomi is leader of the Yellow Scarves(a rival gang) and there's some kind of plauge of love or something going around the city. I'm not even sure how Izaya fits into the story, at first I thought he was the big hero with Ichigo's voice, but now he seems less heroic. Anyway, let's discuss the anime, and maybe you guys can fill me in on some of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I've recently picked this up (online because I don't have cable) and I have NO IDEA WHAT'S GOING ON! D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMRenji Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I think it's one of those animes that takes a lot of thought to figure out what the heck is going on. Even in the first few episodes I was just staring at the screen going just making this face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of Games Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 How is Izaya in anyway a hero? The simplest way too put it is there is no main storyline, but multiple coinciding plots. For people that watched the mangaka's previous work, Baccano!, this shouldn't be a foreign concept. DRRR!! really needed more time to flesh out/finish it's plotlines because things like Izaya's Valhalla goal were never realized and the show just kind of ends oddly. But i did enjoy watching these colorful characters interact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Baccano was easier to follow than this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I loved Durarara, though I think it'd benefit more from a 2nd season. [spoiler=Something else unrequited is] Celty never got her head back, despite it being so close to her. [/spoiler] The plots are alright, but the unique characters and everyone intersecting with each other is fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
