Durarara!! Anime Review
Studio: Brain’s Base
Director: Oomori Takahiro (Baccano!, Natsume Yuujinchou)
Music: Yoshimori Makoto (Baccano!, Natsume Yuujinchou)
From the same author that wrote Baccano!, he comes up with another great story about a wide array of characters and their actions somehow being connected together in the neighborhood of Ikebukuro. With basically the same staff that did Baccano! anime, this was one of the anime I was looking forward to watching before it has even aired, and it did not disappoint. I was very impressed with the storyline and found the show to be very entertaining. I cannot wait to watch episode 12.5 and 25 that will is going to be packaged in the 7th volume of the DVD and last volume of the DVD respectively. I recommend this as a must watch. With the good sales of the DVDs and light novels, hopefully this would lead to a Baccano! season 2, Durarara!! season 2, and or Vamp!
Pro
- Very good storyline
- Great Characters
- Baccano-esque
- Good Music/Soundtrack
- Good direction
- Star-studded cast
Con
- Patience is required
- Lots of characters can be too much for some
- Portions of the 2nd and 3rd arc is a little slow/weak compared to others
Score: 9/10
