    This show is a sure keeper. I can say that after just this one episode. Actually after just the OP, which was exceedingly similar to Baccano's OP. Lots and lots of characters, of course, just like in Baccano, and not the slightest and bloodiest idea what all those very different people were all about. Crooks and otherwise shady individuals aplenty, surprise surprise. Seems very interesting after the first episode. Makes Tokyo look like a real jungle as well.

    I have to watch this series a second time, eventually, after it's all finished to catch all the references and other stuff you see in the background. I'm sure there are more than the couple even a blind man would have noticed immediately.

    gg's sub didn't seem to have any major problems this time, fortunately.

    What was that?

    I like the backgrounds and universe a lot.
    Chara design is acceptable if there's a great story behind it I won't mind.

    Seems like there's a lot running in that very first ep. Like an overload of data to process...

    I should really be wary of descriptions for shows as they tend to be so far from what the actual thing is... but in that case, I don't know what it is yet...

    I will absolutely watch ep 2

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    dude if this is like Baccano then we shouldn't have any idea what's going on until like the 5th episode or something xD.

    alright, guess i'm gonna download it then.

    Im surprised GG released this since CrunchyRoll licensed the series.
    I'll wait, with every other show, for the inevitable horriblesubs or whatever group. Anything is better than GG. Except Ayako. That one is worse.

    ^what about chihiro?

    and it's pretty funny when you see someone say "I'll wait for cr rips", showing how there was a faster subbed version already available over the simulcasted one.

    just watched it, and I really enjoyed this ep. definitely caught my interest, and I'm looking forward to the next episodes.

    gg isn't so bad Zell, you're overacting. Ayako is in the middle and Chihiro is probably the worse of the bunch

    Just my opinion though, i'm sure anidb disagrees with me

    Oh, and the Holo cameo was fun, forgot to mention that one.

    [gg] Durarara!! - 02 [FB85EAC9].​mkv

    Awesome second episode. I was hoping it to be like this based on the first episode. I'm glad it didn't disappoint me. It was silly of me to think they are being lazy by recycling almost half of the episode, the roof sequence was nicely done, I for one was also looking forward at Ms. Magenta's when she realize she was played out. I didn't expect her to really jump though.

    This is enough for me to be excited for the next episode.

    Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.

    "I love humans."

    Probably the best way this line was ever used in anime.

    Who knows... However, nothing in Frostii's sub bothers me.

    It's rare for an anime to come out as intelligent without doing so in a pompous and annoying manner ( yeah i'm looking at you Evangelion >_> ) but i have to say that Durarara! has impressed me greatly with these 2 episodes alone

    I wonder if the shy kid will eventually have the spotlight or if the show will change its focus each episode throughout the whole cast

    Also the biker chick ( it's a girl right? ) and her shadow powers are quite intriguing and i'm looking forward to how those will be explained along with the ability to throw soda machines 15 feet up in the air

    I'll restrain myself, especially since this is my favorite show this season ( for now at least )

    Alright, literally punching the dude out of his clothes was kinda ridiculous.. in fact, it was exactly what I didn't want to see, yet knew to expect, when I saw the trash can throwing or whatever it was in the PV.. That whole exaggerated violence aspect is a ton like baccano, and i wasn't really a fan of it in that :\.

    the characters developing are still pretty interesting though. I'm looking forward to the gangs theme.. but, after looking at how they treated that first guy in this ep, I think that entire aspect in this is gonna be super lame.. I guess they can't glamorize gang membership too much.. which goes back to the whole issue of this just existing as some socially-positive reinforcement type anime (speaking of the anti-suicide theme in the previous episode). which would be such a waste...

    also, i mean, horo and baccano in ep one was like "huh. lol".. but this is ridiculous. can anyone name them all? all i can name is



    (from left to right) (figured out the ones i didn't know)
    1 Baccano
    2 Cencoroll
    3 Baccano
    4 Jigoku SHoujo
    5 Baccano
    6 Jigoku Shoujo

    and then here



    the character on that is the girl from Yozakura Quartet, so it's presumably a Yozakura Quartet manga there.

    there was another instance in which the none-speaking female from Baccano was on a sign in the background, but I didn't feel the need to post a pic of that too.
