There is a "subscribe to topic" button. IDK what it does.

On the one hand, Season 1 adapts 3 books, with loads of filler thrown in. Season 2 is only 12 episodes longer, and it adapts 10 books. So pacing changes quite a lot.

On the other hand, Durarara!! is really, at heart, a slice of life type anime (With Dullahan's, cursed swords, mafia, and other weirdos). I love it to pieces because of the characters, their development, and the moments that happen along the way. But I can see how people wouldn't like it, due to the lack of concentrated plot.

I'm currently reading book 9 of 13, and have been reading them as they were translated. The translation is just okay, with mediocre prose, but I like seeing the character moments that got skipped in the second season's fast pace.

Should we make an anime topic? I feel like we might be distracting from the game at hand.

It's currently sitting in #5 of my top 10 manga/anime list.

Need full list.

1- One Piece (manga/anime)
2- Full Metal Alchemist (manga)
3- Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (anime)
4- 20th Century Boys (manga)
5- Assassination Classroom (manga)
6- Steins Gate (anime)
7- Death Note (anime)
8- Code Geass (anime)
9- History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi (manga)
10- Shaman King (manga)

A respectable list. I've seen most of those. I had trouble getting into the second half of Gurren Lagann, though. I watched it, but I just didn't like the ending.
