As I'm finally back into the hobby after a bit of time away, I love diving into and enjoying new anime cold with either little to no knowledge of the source material or knowing that what I'm watching will most likely be slightly to significantly different than what's on the printed page. Ryoghyo Narita's lively cast of normal (and not so normal) residents of Ikebukuro, Tokyo are so far, quite an interesting bunch to watch (and amusingly enough, had me borrow the light novel set from a friend). Having just screened the first five episodes of Brains Base' DURARARA!!, I'm definitely wanting to see more.

This series was the best of all the 2009-2010 animes. I liked the slow pace into just everything going nuts and each character getting a story in each chapter, how this series will do dubbed is a whole different question but for me its worth checking out

As I've only heard the US dub, I can say it's fine (and the Aniplex version WILL have the original Japanese selectable on the disc with subtitles – they just weren't on the screener the company sent out). I borrowed the import set from a friend yesterday, but I haven't watched it yet, as I'm currently whittling down the pile of games here for review…
