Enjoy.

Durararararararararararara's storytelling is so much easier to follow than Baccano's "so when are we again?" way. Though, personally, Durarara takes a few episodes to kick in.

Reminds me, I roped a friend into watching Durarara and we never got around to that.

[spoiler]I feel sad for pimping Durararararararararara endlessly when it started airing to only now have some people be picking it up T.T[/spoiler]

Really? For me its completely the opposite. I'm on episode 10 of Baccano, (of 16 I think?) And I've always understood what's going on. I find it drops little hints, that I pick up on easily.

Dulalala on the other hand, often makes me stare stupidly at the screen. "WHAT JUST HAPPENED? Did I miss something?" *rewinds*, then I rewatch it and still don't get it, leaving me to hope I understand it later.

Oh! I forgot about Baccano! I was half way through that.

Yeah, you really have to keep track of the years (when it shows) and what's going on. I'm thinking of restarting and writing a chart to try to keep up. I'm kinda confused and making general guesses which isn't a good thing, and I'm afraid it's going to ruin a gasp moment or something.

To be fair, I watched Baccano as subs were released so there was like this week-ish lull that resulted in me going "wait, when are we again?" fairly often. Duarara was more straightforward, at least from a time-space continuum fucking way, so it wasn't so bad.

Durarara has the perspective hops that Baccano did (though episode-centric rather than over the course of an episode) but not the "1933 1711 1930 NOW THEN SOON" moments.

I don't mind the perspective hops (I LOVE it when stories do that) but it's the "when were we again" with never any big huge announcement. There was one scene with that chick who was looking for her brother and I thought "ok... we are in... "the future"" and THEN her brother showed up and then I was "oh man, no, no, we're in the "past" before he even took bottle then?"


Anyways: it just occurred to me I've not heard anyone mention Kimi ni Todoke season 2 on here. Still not seen it show up through any subs and I think first eppy was suppose to air this week. Tell me I'm not the only one watching it? I remember at least one other person watching season one.

Eh, I prefer Baccano over Durarara because of Huey Laforet, especially in the novels. He's pretty much my favorite character of all time.

Oh, yeah, starting Last Exile today.

Nah Firo is the best character in Baccano. He kicks ass cause he has a hat... an awesome hat ^.^

FIRO!!

the only problem I have with Firo is I have no yaoi-lover counterpart for him. -_-; Maybe as I continue with Durarara I can do a cross-series connection.

Firo is lonely. <_< He needs love.

Huey > Firo and everyone else. Why? He is a delicious mastermind and well, he's got that sexy voice that makes my heart melt everytime I hear it.

Sadly, Maxine, Firo is pretty much straight, even for crack pairings. He is paired up with a certain [hide]homunculus[/hide], and to be honest, they are very cute together...however, I've seen a lot of Maiza/Firo art on pixiv lately, though.
