Review of Durarara!!

After watching Baccano! I jumped at the opportunity of watching this show on Adult Swim. And I wasn't dissapointed. This anime is another example of one that fell under the radar and people give you that "WTF?" look everytime you mention it . . . even other anime watchers. The Things I Liked: The strange characters. No, not the whiny, uninteresting high-school characters, but the adults that actually had problems that made this show amazing and different. Shinra, the nerdy doctor, stole my heart! And Crispin Freeman (I stalk him when it comes to watching anime. Everything he's voiced on, I'm determined to watch) andJohnny Yong Bosch's characters steal the show absolutely. It is both hilarious and serious at the same time.
The Things I Could've Lived Without: Like Baccano, the story gets twisty and confusing, but the characters completely make up for that. What I really didn't like, though, is that towards the end of the show, the high school kids start taking over each episode. And that's a shame. Once you watch it you'll understand why.
Overall, I give this anime a 9/10, because I just can't rate any lower when it comes to Crispin Freeman!!! :)
