I like Orihara Izaya and he's one of my favorite characters, but I don't really care or am concerned about the guy because he should honestly die in a fire.) Speaking of which, what really bothered me was how so many of the characters escaped karma - except Kida Masaomi, who the show seemed determined to break because that's his designated role. (And Heiwajima Shizuo who is crazy awesome. The only ones I really cared about by the end of it all was Kida Masaomi and Celty, the headless biker.
BACCANO ENGLISH DUB KISSANIME SERIES
I don't think the series is as meaningful as it thinks it is, and I wasn't moved by most of the characters. Then I went back to see if I missed anything by doing so. I honestly blocked out whole chunks of dialogue from boredom. There's too much talking! Even when what they're saying is plainly obvious or when they could have stopped after one sentence and it's especially annoying when you realize that their justifications are pretty much senseless or stupid after the nth time they've explained it. The characters spend way too long and talk too much in an effort to explain themselves and their actions. And while this seems perhaps an unfair attack on the team that made the anime and for all I know they're completely the opposite, it's how the series came off as.įor all the darkness or apparent maturity of the themes, the show comes off as incredibly naive. It felt like the entire thing was made by a bunch of disaffected college students that have nothing better to do with their spare time than angst about how the world is so sad and boring. I actually wonder if I may be too old for this anime, because it left me completely unimpressed, didn't change my point of view in anyway, and I learned nothing and felt nothing while I watched it. But while I know a bit about both, I haven't read enough of either, and this is an anime review anyway, so I'm glad I haven't yet so I can focus on the anime. I know this is based on a series of light novelsĪnd that there's also a manga version. Oh, and the mind-numbingly boring way in which the dialogue is remarkably unsubtle, anvilicious, and pretentious. Putting aside the immediately obvious fact that the animation for this series is superb and all opening and ending songs are awesome, what's left for me to complain about is the pacing, the plot, and the nearly nonexistent character development.
I finally finished "Durarara!!" and while there were characters that I liked and moments that were entertaining, I don't think it's a series I would willingly put myself through again.
