Durarara!! Drrr<3

[kodocha_lover]

Ugh, I love it I love it I love it!!

Episode 3's fight was hilarious, I keep watching it over and over!! Izaya is so.. drrr Shizuo is so angry! And the blonde kid (Mikado?) is so cool. Bad jokes and all. Yeah, I know I'm about 2 years late with this one (right?) but after the first or second episode I was hooked. Oh, you don't know what it is about? Then I shall give you a clue as to what I am babbling about.

There's this kid Maosomi who goes to see his friend Mikado who lives in Tokyo. Maosomi, being from a small town, is amazed at what Ikebukuro (one of the districts in Tokyo) has to offer. There is a Russian guy who works at a sushi shop (Seymon, nice guy!), a dark haird 23 year old who's SO good with a knife (Izaya, drrr), and a blonde bartender with an anger issue (Shizuo: good looks, bad temper.). There are gangs that affiliate themselves with certain colors (the main one is the Dollars gang, which has no color), and a headless woman on a black bike who rescues people (right?).

Anyone seen this? If not, I suggest you do. It is awesome. Me encanta!

Also, Drrr is short for Durarara. But I use it to say I'm drooling about Durarara (Drrr <3).

You also have Tom who Shizuo-chan works with, Namie who sometimes works with Izaya, Shinra who is in love with Celty (the black biker) and Anri who is friends with Ruygamine and Kida-kun. There is also Seiji (Namie's little brother) and his stalker Anri's friend (I've forgatten her name) and then of course Celty's head is important to the plot too . Your gonna love when you meet Shinra's dad, he is amazing but only in a small portion of the anime. Dota-chin, Erika, Walker and Saburo are also fantastic. And Kasuka, Shizuo-chan's brother is so completely different than him and of course Izaya-kun's younger twin sisters love him. The anime is fantastic but compared to the light novels it has barely any information, if you really like the series you should read them. Not all of them are translated but there are a whole bunch of other characters that get introduced into them.

I started watching it because I've been sleeping at 3 or something. It's got me confused for some reason that I can't remember. But I'm just going to watch it ans just see where it goes.

[kodocha_lover]

Wow. Okay, I got it wrong. But I was so new to the series! It was an understandable mistake, what with the sounds and syllables.

Mikado is NOT the blonde kid, he's the one that moved to Ikebukuro from a small town. The blonde kid, Mikado's friend, is Maosomi.

Tch, wow.

It's fine we there are soo many characters in the series and none of them are really minor excepts the ones you only see like once or twice. There is so much happening that you can't make sense of it in bits and pieces. The best way to understand it is to just marathon it.

[Siri_Leigh]

Well I'm getting into it, since it started over again so I can watch it from the start. I ended up looking at the anime wiki, it's helpful though I believe watching the anime as a whole is the only way to get it completely.

[kira]

Yes and know. The only way to get the entire story is through the light novels. The anime is a good start but it leaves a lot to be told.

[Siri_Leigh]

Right, of course the novels. I don't know if I'll ever get around to those, since I'm only half dedicated to the series. Or better yet, half-assed interest.

[kira]

I still haven't read them yet either since novel 4 isn't really translated. They have fragments of it here and there but not the whole thing.

[Siri_Leigh]

Oh yeah I was going to point that out. Impossible to read them if they haven't been licensed or translated.
