I had been looking forward to this show ever since I heard it be announced that it was going to air. I'm happy to say that episode 1 did not disappoint my excitement for it.

I love, love, LOVE dark urban settings. That's a big part of why I love pulp stories and why The Dark Knight is my favorite movie of all time (among other reasons, but not the least of which is a gorgeously-filmed Chicago).

With a slick and stylish set of opening credits that throws more characters at us that you could probably find in half a dozen other anime series, Durarara!! certainly sets out its stall from the very first moment to prove that it means business. But there's more to anime than just putting together some drool-worthy opening titles, of course...From here, we're introduced to the world of Durarara

Could it be? A ray of light in the darkness of the new season? I’ve been fooled before (Trapeze and to a certain extent Bakemonogatari), but so far Durarara!! is shaping up nicely. To be honest there isn’t a lot to base my positive reaction on; so far all we’ve seen is a ton of character [...]
