A wraparound jacket band has revealed that Durarara!!, the light novel series by Baccano! author Ryohgo Narita, is getting animated. The novels already inspired a manga series in Square Enix's G Fantasy magazine earlier this year. Narita has written six Durarara!! novels since he launched the series in 2004.(ANN)

Synopsis: The story takes place in a downtown of Tokyo, Ikebukuro. Teenage punks gang up and fight against each other. The gangsters are afraid of an urban legend "Dullahan" headless rider, who rides a black motorcycle without head lights nor sounds of engine. Ryuugamine Mikado is a normal high school boy who seeks peculiar beings. When he moves in to Ikebukuro, a mad scramble for Dullahan's missing head breaks out.

the drawing seem familiar.. same as yozakura quartet?

The original character designer of Durarara!!, Suzuhito Yasuda, is also the creator of Yozakura Quartet for your information biggrin.gif
That's explain the drawing look similar to Yozakura Quartet...but I like the current character design by Takahiro Kishida.

Just watched the first episode of Durarara!! & wow it's turn out better than I expected. Catchy OP with Baccano-style in introducing character,nice ED.
It's fun to hear Kida lame jokes, especially the tone that he use it XD
LOL flying vending machine when Kida tells Mikado to stay away with Shizuo & hear Shizuo screaming like nuts.
Celty aka Headless Rider is totaly kick-ass,ramming a guy head to the pillar with motorcycle tyre,beat the crap out the second thugs & slicing the last thugs with scythes.
Oh Izaya little scene indicates that he's an interesting character,can't wait for him in the next episode biggrin.gif

Added on January 12, 2010, 6:24 pmi cant detect the voice of setsuna f. seiei....is that really setsuna f.seiei seiyuu?
*
Setsuna F Seiei voice actor (Mamoru Miyano) is voicing Kida Masaomi,Mikado's childhood friend & also the guy that talking about entire episode.If you watch FMA:Brotherhood,the voice he use is similar to Ling Yao when he is goofy. It proves that Miyano is a versatile voice actor.

EP2:Highly Unpredictable

LOL the ep title sure ain't lie,particularly with Izaya involvement with Rio(the girl who got kidnapped last ep) kidnapping & Rio attempt suicide.Izaya is the Master Level Troll for sure,doing all this just to see her die.Shizuo got some little screentime here,looks like he doesn't seem happy if somebody refuse to pay his money & make lame excuses. Also I find Anri is cute & have nice body tongue.gif

EP3:Rampant

This episode full of epic win!!
Kida epic fail attempt to flirt random girl is amusing.Also blushing Anri is cute though<3
Shizuo is definitely Ladd Russo version 2,his badassery ownz this ep.I laughed myself hard when he punch a guy out of his clothes.
Izaya is awesome,his epic cell-phone stomping scene+ maniacal laugh made my day
The fake "Dollars" gangs are learning their lesson not to hit a person behind,especially if the person name is Shizuo Heiwajima.
Oi Mikado,it's not cool to ditch your best friend behind to get a girl,in the end nothing happend sweat.gif
Simon is a hidden badass in this series,jumping out from high building & catch a flying vending machine,EPIC!!!!!!

I posted some awesome gif taken from this ep:

Izaya full quote in episode 9:

It's too addicting, it's too addicting, it's too addicting! Even for an information broker like me there are things completely unknown to me happening and happening and appearing before my eyes and lapsing back into unknown every single day. That is why I can never ever leave the places where humans abound! Humans, LOVE! I LOVE HUMANS! I LOVE YOU ALL! THAT'S WHY YOU ALL SHOULD LOVE ME TOO!

1.
No.37564 "Mob Combatant" (Hariyama-san series) << Pretty much official. We know this one would win against Claire and Ronnie (Baccano!), Shizuo (Durarara!!), and probably even Hawking (Vamp!).

2
Hawking (Vamp!) << According to Wikipedia, he's basically a black hole. Communicates via telepathy. Is fond of light. When he jumps from one end of the universe to the other we observe supergravity. And fortunately can never visit the earth.WTF.

Tier 1
Claire Stanfield, Ronnie Sukiart (Baccano!), Heiwajima Shizuo (Durarara!!)

Tier 1.5
Nile (Baccano!) << He's in this awkward position because he lost to Shizuo but beat Christopher.

Tier 2 << Lost to/implied to be not as strong as Tier 1/1.5 characters but defeats every other character in their series
Christopher Shouldered, Graham Specter, Ladd Russo (Baccano!), Simon Brezhnev, Celty Sturluson (Durarara!!)

Tier 3 << "Can put up a fight with Tiers 1-2 characters but that's not really what they do" type of characters
Chane Laforet, Adele (Baccano!), Orihara Izaya (Durarara!!)
