Okay, this is going to be a somewhat short post, just to get my whole head out of my current fandom.
Okay, to start off this is an novel, manga, and anime. It began as a novel and progressed from that. Of course, the novel is not published in English, which is quite evil, but you can’t get everything you want, now can you? The setting takes place in modern day Ikebukuro, and is much like the actual place.
The characters are laugh out loud hilarious, from the new guy Mikado to the human loving Izaya. Each characters has its own unique personality that will leave you begging to learn much more about the past of each of them as you watch more and more episodes. Each episode is told in a different characters point of view, which is quite refreshing.
As you may have guessed, this is an anime by the creaters of Baccano! Some have said similarities, some have not. I personally have not watched that anime, so I will not be giving you any insight on that. c’: Okay, the soundtrack. It’s subtle, not overbearing and like “Where the fuck did that come from?” and such. It’s wonderful background noise and really helps the mood, especially in serious or fighting scenes.
Ah, and probably the last thing. Art. Yes, the art is pretty good. Not outrageous but definitely not horrible. The art is good enough that you won’t be staring at the characters going “Wahhhh” and stuff. It’s detailed when it needs to, but definitely not detailed on the people on the street. But there not important anyway, but sometimes they gray would throw me off, but then again that’s just me.
I definitely recommend this show. Whether your looking for something funny, supernatural, and has in depth plot. This is the anime for you. Just for some warning, the manga is a bit different from the anime, so if you choose to read both at the same time, you have been warned.
