From then on, the existence of supernatural cases and a gang called the Yellow Turbans will rise to the surface, and Ikebukuro will pushed to the breaking point.
the first time i saw durarara i loved it. the animation was nice and smooth and it had a dark gangster feel to it. the characters are very unique with different personalities which makes this anime have variety. i love how there is a headless woman trying to find her head with a slasher who is actually the main characters friend along with various gangs which makes this show have lots of conflict. i also love how everyone has their own story. it's a great anime to watch while you are bored or at night. it's just great!
