Durarara!!

Yo people!!! I am currently on an anime rampage... I have finished many anime but reviewing way too little.. So there will be more and more anime stuffs coming up!! Okay the topic of today , ''Durarara!!'' is some awesome kick ass anime.. At the first, it looks like some dumb ass anime to me mostly due to its name... After hearing some overwhelming response from my friend, i decided to give it a try.. All i have to say, i will have regrets if i don't watch it.. Totally thumbs up.. It is a pretty serious anime with some comic relief every here and there.. The genre would be school life, Romance, Action, Supernatural... It has a total of 25 episodes and 1 OVA.. Take note that some websites may show the 25th episode as an OVA...

Ratings: 8.5/10



The story follows everything that happens in Ikebukuro... The main character , Ryugamine mikado has just enter raira academy under the invitation of his childhood friend , masaomi kida whom he has not seen for years... Before that mikado was a nobody.. He spent his daily lives mostly at home and he has almost no contact with the outside people.. Ironically, he dreams of having an exciting life someday... Through some turns of event, kida and mikado gets to befriend Sonohara anri, a quiet girl in their class.. Despite the warning from kida to mikado to not get involve with some people in Ikebukuro, Mikado is still slowly dragged in to the dark side of Ikebukuro... Through the process, Mikado got to know some unique characters of the dark side and the fates of the 3 of them intertwines while someone at the back is just planning everything and moving them like chess pieces...



Durarara is some anime that has a really deep plot... At the early stage of the anime, it might seems kind of dull and boring because it focus on the introduction of the characters first... But then after that when more things start to reveal itself, It just gets more and more interesting... This anime has an awesome twist... Really a nice twist that draws people in.. Apart from that, the animation,vocals and progress are just great ... This anime does not rush things.. So things may seem confusing will eventually be cleared.. Durarara definitely has some of the best characters out there that are worth debating... Although they have very minor comic relief here, but then they are still good... So there are some scenes that will defnitely make you laugh... The supernatural stuff here is related to some ''urban legend''... It is not like magical girl blasting flames...Nothing like that.. If i have to say, i will have to say it is closer to ''vampires'' and such... This is definitely a good on to this anime as it just make this anime even more unique...

Of course there are still some cons that i wish to state here.. Duararara have neglected some scenes ... What i meant is that somethings in the anime were not revealed and focus much.. Another major thing is the lack of action... It has such a good plot and a powerful twist but there is just not enough action here... So it is really a pity here...

2. Trust Me by Yuuya Matsushita (ED 1)

3. Complication by Rookiez is Punk'd (OP 2)

4. Butterfly by On/Off (ED 2)


Okay my favourite among them would be ''Uragiri no Yuuyake''. At the start when i hear it, it just does not sounds appealing to me... However as i go on, I just can;t get enough of this song... I am definitely addicted to it.. This song is definitely a must download!!!

Alright Durarara!!! is definitely some awesome kick ass anime that anybody anime lovers should try... You really can't find anything as special as this... So if you like anime with some awesome plot, awesome character and a super good twist... This is a definitely must watch for you!!! :D Happy watching...
