Durarara (Q1 2010)



If you're looking for something more serious to watch to balance out the flood of moe blob, then this is what you'd be looking for. A Pulp Fiction/Snatch-ish type setting where many folks/groups roam a common area and share some connection yet to be revealed. If you've watched Baccano!, then you would know exactly what this is, since it's from the same exact staff. I have not seen Baccano! but as you can see, I can do a Google search. Typing in italics is fun.

I usually avoid these shows because in general I feel they are intellectual posturing shovelware ... and I'd rather watch Lost if I were in the mood for said posturing. But there's something alluring about the supernatural biker angle and demonic(?) informant person, which are closer to the stuff I care about.

Btw, yes that is a giant cardboard Horo in the screen cap; and no I don't know what her connection to this show is either, if any.

At best: Baccano!
At worst: Baccano!

Leaning towards: Baccano!

Recommendation: I've watched two episodes, and will probably continue, since it's better than the other stuff I've been watching lately (looking directly at Asura Cryin and Kiddy Girl).
