(What am I doing, making another anime topic. XD)

So, the first season is about half way done, and I'm loving every second of it. Anyone else here watch it?

My favorite character has to be Mikado, with Izaya and Shizuo tied for a *very* close second.

Spoiler: Mikado: Durarara post ep. 10 AND Durarara Vol. 6
Mikado's so fucking nuts. XD It's amazing how he's able to switch back and forth from being so nice and flustered to being cold as ice. Especially when he stabs Aoba with the ballpoint pen...and then you know that it was premeditated, because he brought stuff to disinfect and wrap the wound. O_o And he switched back to being all nice and stuff within 2 milliseconds. Just...*shiver*.


So, what are your thoughts on the series or its characters?

Also, if anyone's curious, translations of snippets of the light novels can be found here.

I love the way they portray Tokyo and how all the characters lifestyles are like.Celty is awsome,I livecin England so I know about Dulahans.Izaya and Shizuo cracks me up.Suck a great pair those two.

I love this anime :]
i think it's clever how the original author (sorry, i don't know their name!) made it with so many lead characters, just like they did in Baccano (which is also pretty awesome, too).
Shizzy-chan is my favourite, with his...unusual personality, but Celty is fantasic as a character. I love how they give so much emotion to her even though she hasn't a head.

I am in love with DRRR... obviously. :D I actually can't choose between Izaya and Shizuo, as far as favorites go. (Between them at least, because Kida is my favorite character overall) I agree when you say that Mikado is nuts, haha. Then again no one in DRRR is particularly normal. What I like about this Anime is how different and original it is. . . It's been awhile, haha.

Celty is epic win, I have never seen a character quite like her.

This series and thread both need more love. It's one of the fresher and unique(..if you haven't seen Baccano) shows out there with enjoyable characters and a storyline that starts off slow and all over the place but eventually come together really nice. Heiwajima and Celty are both my favorites, but Kida is also getting up there for me.

After watching the new episode yesterday, I cane to a very sad realization: my two favorite shows (DRRR!! and FMA:B) are ending in a month. D:

But OH. Things really are picking up now. I can't wait until the trio learn about each other...I mean, they already have ideas about one or the other (and I think Kida's the only one to know about both Anri AND Mikado), but the scene from volume 3 I want to see animated could be coming very soon...I hope.

I really like Shinra x Celty and everything, but I feel like I'm alone liking Celty x Shizuo too. D; I think they're so cute together. Anyone else believe in this ship? XD

I do! :P Although, Celty is all Shinra's but the interaction between Shizuo and Celty is just too adorable sometimes. I loved the scene in which both sit on her motorbike and Shizuo starts to jump up and down while saying "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!'" xD

My favorite characters are Shizuo, Celty and... Kadota. He's pretty much the most normal and sanest guy in the whole cast.

-----------------------------------------------------

Oh and in other news, the series finale is on Thursday (tomorrow!). The latest episode sure had a big cliffhanger, meh... I'm so excited about how everything's going to end though and that the trio finally speak to each other.... Oh and Kida turned out to be pretty badass the last few episodes...

Figured I'd watch the anime since the manga was pretty entertaining.
Though I've gotta admit, the anime seems to make more sense to me. :eh?:
Plus the action-scenes are awesome, like how Heiwajima always chases and throws stuff at Izaya. :keiko:
It's more fun in action than in the manga.

From what I've watched, English dubs are awful. I won't ruin my Durarara!! experience with a poor dub (just playing safe, no offense to dub-lovers).

Well, the dubbed version of Baccano! was pretty awesome.... but yeah, poor dubs can destroy everything. I just hope that the guys don't screw it up.

Oh and here part 2 of the English cast announcement:
Quote:
Michelle Ruff as Anri Sonohara
Bryce Papenbrook as Masaomi Kida
Johnny Yong Bosch as Izaya Orihara

....I'm not sure how I should feel about the fact that Johnny is voicing Izaya.... =/

It'd help if I had any idea what these people have voiced/acted in... :payne: No, I don't know voice-actors by name even though I can recognize the voices.

Here a little video with voice acting snippets of the dub crew: Click me, I'm a video!

Actually, most of the voices fit nicely. Then again, that doesn't mean a thing. It still could be able to turn out completely crappy, so we just need to be patient and wait~

Random other info: A new volume from the novel series was already released. No idea what happens in it... can't find any summary of it anywhere on the world wide web. If someone comes across a summary, please don't be shy and give us the link to it! (: Anni Fiesta updated her LJ, a little summary is available there now~

The only problem with the voice actors I have is Crispin Freeman. He sounds too...boxer-like. And why does the voice remind me of Star Wars for some reason? :eh?:

But Izaya's voice...it's a bullseye! :grey:

Let's just hope everybody does a good job with the Durarara!! roles.

Has anyone had a look at the Durarara!! video game? It supposedly came out last month, but I haven't heard a thing of it anywhere...just the info on the Japanese site (damn for not knowing Japanese well enough yet!). :sadshoe:

There are already several videos floating on youtube with Freeman voicing a few scenes with/of Shizuo, I think. I can't watch any of these videos though because they are banned in my country =/ (thanks a lot Bandai!)

Check out that link for more info and some videos: http://www.durararausa.com/
Maybe the vids aren't banned in your country, who knows....

I found a bit info, hopefully you didn't know any of that stuff already:
Quote:
Durarara: 3way Standoff features a new character named Yoshimune Miyoshi (the guy with the red hair on the right), a freshman at the school Mikado, Kida and Anri attend. Miyoshi — nicknamed “Yoshi Yoshi” — is the character you’ll be playing as, and is described as being a good listener with a bright personality. You’ll get to go to different places in Ikebukuro to talk to the various Durarara!! characters, and maybe even get well-acquainted with some of the them.

The in-game character art for 3way Standoff is being done at Brain’s Base — the studio producing the anime — and the scenario is being supervised by Ryohgo Narita, the author of the original light novels.


So yeah, it's visual novel game (yay!) which will likely never get translated ( =/ ) and it's for the PSP.... I kind of reminds me of the Persona game series to be honest, at least a bit.

Can't watch the videos over here, either. What's the point, exactly?! It's not even the actual show, just some background stuff that's on the videos, so why ban it from the world?

Maybe some brave fan-translator group will rise up to this challenge of translating the game? Persona 2's translations got great feedback, and I hear Atlus wants to consult the makers sometime...

Durarara!! is awesome. One of my favourite shows of last year, like totally. The characters were cool and unique. I really liked how they worked out the interactions between them and the fact that every single one of them had a deep dark secret, even our boring looking main characters, who
