DURARARA!!

DURARARA!! is an anime about an ordinary boy Mikado Ryugamine moves to the town Ikebukuro and meets up with his old friend Kida. Slowly the multiple characters come together in the story to form an even larger story. Each of their backgrounds come together in the abnormal city of Ikebukuro. Characters such as the headless rider, a black market scientist, and color gangs change the town. 
                       
This is one of those anime where you have to watch at least 4 episodes in order for it to become good. If you don't give it a chance it'll never become good because there are so many characters. They take the time to give you the backgrounds of each other the characters which ties to the present. 

The best part about this anime is how everything comes together in the end, Izaya ends up being the one causing everything and pulling the strings while watching everything come into place the way he wanted it to. Like what Izaya said in the beginning, everyone has their own secrets, this is really revealed as the real identity of the 2 students are shown as plot twists. 

Kida as the shogun of the yellow scarves and Mikado as the boss of the Dollars. 
                           
What I never understood was, despite how well the anime wrapped and solved many of it's problems such as the gang fights and power struggles it never showed much about Celty's head. I was disappointed when it became more of a backseat story. Celty may think she no longer needed her head but what were the human experiments the pharmaceutical were doing? Did Izaya provoke 2 gang wars because he'd hope one of them would cause the head to come alive again? Was Shinra's father the one behind Celty fainting and losing her head?
                    
Either way I still stand between the #1 couple in Ikebukuro to be Celty and Shinra or Shizuo and Izaya. The Shinra and Celty moments are adorable and Shizuo and Izaya just hate each other's guts. I wish this anime was longer and dug even deeper into the things surrounding the town. YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT.
