Summary :
Durarara!! was originally taken from a novel by Narita Ryohgo. Mikado Ryugamine just transferred to Ikebukuro at his friend's recommendation, Masaomi Kida. The city is full with punks, weird people, and a mysterious gang called "Dollars". These gangsters are scared of "Dullahan", a headless rider with neither engine sound nor light on when riding on her motor. And now, the urban legend start to move, in searching of her missing head... 

Well, the main story is indeed interesting. The whole things about "Dollars" and "Dullahan" with Ikebukuro as the stage, is the most awesome part of the anime. The stage isn't only filled with otaku, but also lot of punks, even some urban legend. The characters are unique and interesting, they develop gradually in every episode. The same story is told in a lot of point of views and it makes the story clear little by little.

Well, the opening & ending is awesome, it caught my interest in an instant. The songs are good, it suits the video very well. The video is well-made to describe the lifestyle at Ikebukuro. I really like it! XD

The artwork is also good, simple but still attractive to all genders
