Durarara!

It's about teenagers living in Tokyo. Oh, and the Grim Reaper rides a motorcycle, is a headless chick, and her helmet has cat ears... kinda. Oh, and it's by the same people who did Baccano! First ep is out and it was nice. I look forward to seeing where the show goes.

The OP

Fun fact: In the first episode, you can see Baccano playing on a TV in the background.

Are people bloodily chopped into pieces for trivial reasons?

Not in the first episode, but you do see the Grim Reaper use her motorcycle as a melee weapon sorta, and that's pretty radass.

Do you know I've never actually committed myself to an anime series, despite my full-blown love for Japanese videogames and other aspects of Japanese culture?

...yeah, I don't get it either.

Hey... Snake... There's a Persona anime... Not based on one of the existing games, but it's in the same universe as Persona 3 and 4 apparently... Just FYI...

This first episode set up the scene without too much awesome, headless Grim Reaper aside. The opening was in the same style as Baccano, and hopefully the series will be as awesome too.

I'm eagerly awaiting the second episode.

All this talk of Baccano makes me want to retry watching the first episode again. Something tells me this thread is about to eat my life.

damn all of you because I only got halfway through baccano when secrets were being revealed before hulu took it down, and now this show reeks of awesome that i bet i'll also miss the last half of the series.

I honestly stopped reading after this. Like there is anything more you need to know

[edit] scratch that. I just remembered Baccano was based on a series of books, so that statement might not have as much meaning since it was the setting and characters that made it great

Actually, Durarara!! is also based on a series of light novels by the same author.

You do know it's also on the Funimation website, don't you? I mean, unfortunately it's in Japanese with subs, but it's certainly better than not watching it at all.
