Just finished it. Had me in tears at the end. Maybe I'm just going soft.
DRRR!! THREAD
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWXZN115Upg
DRRR threads were barely alive when the show was airing and there was plenty to talk about. Now that it's over and everything has been talked about, the threads are absoluteky dead.

Well that's a damn shame. I thought it was excellent. Maybe even under rated.

The anime was just a 1-1 adaptation of the novels with terrible animation. Whatever praise you can give to it really belongs to the source material IMO.
I watched it and thought it was pretty good as well!

I thought the animation was fine. Haven't read the novels. I have little time to devote to that anymore.
Drrr is finished?
I stopped watching it when mikado went crazy or when izaya got stabbed, I don't remember which one is the oldest.
Do I have a lot to watch?

>Durarara
>Durarara X2 Shou
>Durarara X2 Ten
>Durarara X2 Ketsu
The last three are all about 13 episodes a piece. So not too much. They finished Ketsu recently. Supposedly there is a sequel with three new characters in the works.

Really? I actually had a folder filled with QUALITY moments from it at one point, but I deleted it after the show ended and there was nowhere for me me to post them anymore.

So was there any big animation fuck ups after the Russian episode? I dropped it when that episode hit and decided I'd pick it up when the BD comes out. They should be out around next month or so correct?
Is SH good enough to continue or should I just image that Drrr ended at end of anime?

It's pretty fun. Narita always knows how to make unique charactes and Shinra continues to be best boy.
Funny how this thread came out while I was planning to catch up to it. Last time was 1st series ep8 (sad, I know, but I had my studies)...dayum, that was a kick to the stomach. Never saw the light novel it was based on. You could say it was my coming-of-age anime (never watched much beyond mainstream stuff like Doraemon and Detective Conan until I was 18).
Unconventional and kinda absurd narrative like in ep 2 and 6 seems to remind me a bit of a Thai film I once watched - Citizen Dog. Shizuo's struggle to walk his talk of even at least trying to avoid violence is kinda intriguing. I was amused at Masaomi's character, he was mirroring my bratty siblings who loved to poke around things that I do, like Tigger...yet he is pretty adorkable. The Van Gang and Simon gave me lots of keks. The meddling involvement of Yagiri Pharmaceuticals in a show partly based on Irish mythology is a nice modern touch.
I really have a soft spot for ep 5.Masaomi's background of somehow having depression after being done with his colour gang and overcoming it (which is frankly a difficult thing to do) as Mikado showed up really was an eye opener. I kinda like seeing how Kida is depending on him as some sort of emotional crutch, as a reason to keep him being so sane. And again, the brotherly love dynamic just like me and my siblings do. (Especially now with my sis going away to NZ to further his studies...)
I can't wait to see where this is going, even as conflict will be imminently thrown into this dynamic just as what dramas do. (I don't even care for the spoilers because I'm gonna rewatch it today.) No matter how far I will get through this series, pic related is still going to be ingrained in my mind.
I can't wait to get back at this.

>my sis going away to NZ to further her studiesDidn't expect the typo there, I was too excited to catch up to this again.
Finished it a couple of days ago and I'm still feeling empty. Years of waiting and hoping and now it's all gone.
And what hurts most is that the way the world has changed over these years is reflected in DRRR world all too well. It really felt like I've lost home when they said that the chat room is going to be abandoned. 2009 is gone and it won't return, ever.

Izaya did nothing wrong.
>>140240434
Actually SH says he did a lot of stuff wrong but there are still people who were saved by him.
