Jul. 28th, 2010 12:38 pmI have been meaning to write up Durarara!! for ages, now that it's complete, and I keep stumbling over the fact that I'm still not entirely sure how I feel about it! I didn't love it the way I loved Baccano!, and it's kind of problematic in several ways, and, I mean, how many stalkers does one show need, seriously. But on the other hand it is also totally hilarious in places and there are some moments of absolute awesome that includes some of the best evil laughter I've ever seen.
As with Baccano! it is kind of hard to describe the plot of Durarara!! except in terms of the characters so
( have another mini-picspam under the cut )
The reason I am able to write about this show now, by the way, is because![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
futuresoon has made a vid that kind of sums up my final impression of the show: it is extremely bizarre, weirdly compelling and chock-full of individually awesome moments and characters, and in the end I gave up on trying to digest it in any serious way and just rolled with it. As she says, there are some vids that carefully analyze and thoughtfully explore the meaning of their source material, and there are some vids that have a lady riding a motorcycle down the side of a building set to incomprehensible rock music.
(I am pretty sure the vid doesn't actually spoil anything for the show except that Anri is secretly totally hardcore, which to be honest is kind of something I think it is okay to spoil for.)
