My current job is pretty laidback about us having phones out and listening to music as we work sorting archaeological artifacts in a lab, so I've started binge-rewatching Durarara!! from the very beginning.

I've already finished the original run yesterday and just started x2 Shou, but some thoughts I had:

At least in the anime adaptation, the original run was meant to be pretty self-contained in the event they weren't able to continue (which to be fair was true for quite a while before x2 got greenlit), so rather than consider the original run a "phase one" of Izaya's grander scheme to start a gang war and awaken Celty's head it makes a bit more sense to think of it in the context of a failed first attempt.

In that context, it makes me wonder how he felt about it, his first grand failure. Grand enough that he felt the need to step back and lay low so he could go back to the drawing board (see: his initial conversation with Shizuo in ep 25).

I honestly bet he picked a fight with Shizuo just to take out his frustrations on it all. He managed to create a messy three-way conflict and get Celty roped into it as Anri and Mikado's friend, but the head gave narry a stir. Not to mention, Celty was able to help them resolve things pretty easily by just getting these dumb kids to actually talk to each other.

I don't remember the episode number because I just binged the whole thing, but Shingen at one point suggests that rather than rope Celty into a conflict, Izaya should try to center the conflict around Celty herself. Izaya claimed he was doing just that, but I don't think he really succeeded in the initial run. Sure, Celty was involved, but more as an independent third (fourth?) party than as a focal point. She was in the Dollars and friends with both Anri and Mikado, but she didn't really have much of a stake in the squabble itself. That was just a big messy of miscommunication between three high schoolers completely unrelated to her. That must have been frustrating, honestly, getting so close but falling just short of what he needed.

Then, on top of everything else, he wasn't even really involved in the resolution of the fight itself, either. He says in his theory that he needs to create a war only HE can win, right? I'd imagine that's why he was fucking around with a bunch of kids rather than the bigger leagues like the Yakuza that he works with regularly: it's a lot easier to insert yourself as an authority as the only adult. He'd be able to take control of that situation so easily, but Celty took that role instead, so he never even got a chance to win the war.

And to blow off steam from his initial failure, what does he do? He deliberately picks a fight with Shizuo, someone he generally tries to avoid when he can help it, by fucking with his brother's safety.

I wonder if he needed to feel alive for a minute by reminding himself of the loom of death. Shizuo's arguably the only one that actually threatens Izaya enough to feel any sense of awe or dread. I wonder if he wanted to put himself in that position to remind himself what was at stake and give him the motivation to go back to the drawing board and try again. He really does have a Shizuo Complex in that sense.

Anyway, I might do Shou, Ten, and Ketsu individually as I finish them, but if anyone would prefer a liveblog instead, lmk. I might stop at Shou for now, tho, because Wa-kun and I are I thiiiink like halfway through Ten? And I don't wanna spoil them with my rambling.

2023 in anime

i give ratings out of 10 stars based on a rubric that considers the following:

2 points / ambition of what the anime is trying to achieve 3 points / effectiveness of the anime in achieving its aims 4 points / my personal, subjective enjoyment 1 point / pacing +1/-1 miscellaneous

so with that said… ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (2 anime)

revolutionary girl utena – heavy breathing panting crying what a fucking roller coaster nanami the child you are anty the child you were utena the child you choose to be – just one of the true masterpieces of all anime. took a few episodes to realize that this show understood tone and comedy perfectly and wasn’t just a wonky children’s show and by golly! the nanami in season 3 gutted me unlike anything else

attack on titan: final season (for real this time) – decent conclusion to maybe my favorite anime of all time

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (10 anime)

school rumble – so goddamn funny and i cared about every goddamn character. it’s witchcraft!

trigun – good ole saturday morning cartoons

golden kamuy s3 – how does it keep getting better???!?!

fruits basket – i was a certified hater after s1, but slowly but surely i gave into the melodrama. akito and shigure were EVERYTHING

nana – the most disappointing ending of all time! for one of the greatest anime of all time. manga pls save me!!!

rascal does not dream of bunny girl senpai – i’m embarrassed. i cried.

princess tutu – expressionistic, dedicated to storytelling, tremendously kind-hearted. you have to let it move you

blue lock – i’m officially a sports anime girlie

cyberpunk: edgerunners – this was just so slick!

chainsaw man – nothing needs to be said here

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8 anime)

yamada-kun to lv999 no koi wo suru – adult romance that hasn’t been stripped of all conflict and maintains momentum nearly to the end

oshi no ko – my expectations were non-existent after ep 1 but then it crept up on me. i can’t even fully put my finger on what works so well? but it does! it knows when to take itself seriously and when to be nonsense.

demon slayer s3 – best season of demon slayer to date, i actually cared

durarara!!x2 shou – this is a confession. my inner edgy teen loves durarara. i appreciate huge casts of characters acting in opposition in atmospheric tokyo.

gintama – i finally finished gintama one of my favorites of all time. the end pulls all the threads together but it does so at the expense of the laughs so loses some points

chihayafuru – amazing background anime. just consistently fun and engaging.

perfect blue – i feel stupid and uncultured to not give this a 10

vinland saga – askeladd is so hot wow

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7 anime)

buddy daddies – funny and sincere in degrees but a truly annoying little girl character

serial experiments lain – god you’ve gotta appreciate the wild swings creatives were taking in the 90s

durarara!!x2 ten

great teacher onizuka – ugh he’s a creep but also heh he’s funny

trigun stampede – they yassified them!

mob psycho 100 s3 - meandered a bit but the characters are forever favorites

to your eternity – the first 3 arcs are extraordinary. march is one of the great child characters of all time. the end drags.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8 anime)

zom 100 – crazy good first episode that earns its premise and then a slow descent into mediocrity; cool colors though!

terror in resonance – utterly forgettable

dororo – way too long with way too many hit or miss episode arcs

bungou stray dogs s4 – the cracks are showing but the rampo backstory is dope

lycoris recoil – those cute girls shoulda been lesbians

classroom of the elite – is it edgy? yes. are the quotes frustratingly misused? oh yes. is it fun? ugh yeah actually

romantic killer – pretty cute and the edge of danger at the end really sells it

free – solid watch but it left my brain like sand in a sieve

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (4 anime)

wolf’s rain – what passes as deep when children are your primary audience

hell’s paradise – boring and i liked the manga so.

durarara!!x2 ketsu – the conclusion falls short

land of the lustrous – bold but was too slow for me

⭐⭐⭐⭐ (3 anime)

tomo-chan is a girl! – sometimes funny but the conceit does not justify 13 episodes and it loses steam fast

mushishi – some of the vignettes were beautiful but felt repetitive

bleach: thousand-year blood war – sleek, hype, plagued by all the old bleach problems

no game no life season 1 - confused that this was such a phenomenon when it came out. it’s fine i guess.

⭐⭐⭐ (5 anime)

kamisama kiss – trite imo

given – god save us from anime about perfect people being perfect with each other – but this time set to music!

tokyo revengers s2 – 🤷

natsume’s book of friends – i don’t need vibes this cozy

sasaki to miyano – and i really don’t need vibes this cozy

⭐⭐ (0 anime)

⭐ (0 anime)

& then ongoing shows that i’m not going to rank until i finish them (but actually all are pretty good so far) – skip to loafer, heavenly delusion, spy x family s2, apothecary diaries, jujutsu kaisen s2, frieren: beyond journey’s end, vinland saga s2

I really don’t know how to properly describe how special and nostalgic Durarara!!! Is for both me and plenty of other anime fans. I didn’t get into it until the time when ketsu x2 was coming out but even then, I adored the fandom and all the content surrounding the show. Nowadays everyone KNOWS of drrr but no one talks about it or makes as much content for it. It’s both melancholic and heartbreaking to see a series you love so much and that was such a fundamental part of your online experience become a relic of times past. Sometimes I wish I could turn back the clock and re-live those days because as cringe as they may have been, they were truly some of the best times I’ve had.

#durarara #ryogo narita #drrrx2 #drrr #I miss it #the flip phones and the artsyle and the music and the characters and the street gangs #I miss it all #anime just isn’t the same these days like it’s good but drrr had something special and the community of the early to mid 2010s was just a #certain type of special yknow like I don’t know how to describe it but all I’ll say is that it was different #and I miss it dearly

for senka: who’s seen everything

ily i hope you like, sorry most of these are probs on your ptw already

RWBY: Hyousetsu Teikoku - Action, Fantasy, Sci-Fi - tbh this is just here bc i wanna see you gif my kids, i’m watching it with a friend so i’m terribly behind

Soul Eater - Action, Adventure, Comedy, Fantasy - that fantasy will be changed to spn i s2g, but you knew this was gonna be here it’s my everything

Enen no Shouboutai - Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, Supernatural - you also knew this was gonna get on here. if you can get past the fanservice it’s fantastic and the art is so glowy i love

Godzilla: Singular Point - Action, Mecha, Mystery, Sci-Fi - i’m weak for a good kaiju anime, the character designs are by the creator of ane and it has some truly fantastic visuals as well as some truly terrible cg but i love it lots

Karin - Comedy, Romance, Supernatural - tbh i’m not sure about this one, but it was my favorite when i was younger and it still has a v special place in my heart bc i think the love interest is just so endearing

Komi-san wa, Komyushou desu. - Comedy, Romance, Slice of Life - already on your ptw, while it’s a romcom i’m recing for the comedy in it

Shimoneta to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai - Comedy, Ecchi - not something i typically rec bc it’s v v ecchi but it’s on your ptw and it made me laugh

SK∞ - Action, Comedy, Drama, Sports - why’d you pause this? you should watch it so you can get hype with us for s2

Diamond no Ace - Comedy, Sports - bitch, finish it, what a good sport anime

Durarara!!x2 Ketsu - Action, Mystery, Supernatural - just finish the series come on. tbh my fav of the sequels becuase we get backstory

K: Missing Kings - Action, Supernatural - listen we know this series is everything to my urban fantasy ass, and at the very least you’ll get it’s interesting visuals and i remember you liking the visuals on that other gohands anime that wasn’t v good

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne - Action, Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Mahou Shoujo, Mystery, Romance - LOOK HOW MANY GENRES IT’LL GIVE YOU! honestly i like the manga way more but this series is v important to my heart because it’s an ms with all those themes of friendship and love while also not being all happy. shame the anime cut out my favorite arc.

Kill la Kill - Action, Comedy, Ecchi - you scored this an 8 despite not watching??? anyway i think you’ll enjoy the animation of this at the very least

Made in Abyss - Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Sci-Fi - THE GENRES SENKA! honestly this feels like the kinda fucked up mystery thriller i expect you to like. also horror in the more psychological way where you’re scared for the kids but not of like specific monsters jumping out at you.

Modao Zushi - Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Mystery, Supernatural - i’m genuinely shocked you haven’t seen this, chinese animation that’s a spn mystery is right up your alley and it’s v v good

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan - Comedy, Slice of Life, Supernatural - it’s so funny senka omg. also if you restart it then you can use it for tetris

Shadows House - Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Slice of Life, Supernatural - not really horror but a fun mystery with an admittedly predictable twist but it still made me !!!!

Yuukoku no Moriarty - Mystery, Psychological - PSYCHOLOGICAL MYSTERY SENKA YOU GOTTA WATCH

Gankutsuou - Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Supernatural, Thriller - tbh i didn’t love it but it has v interesting visuals which you might be into

Ling Long - Action, Drama, Horror, Mecha, Mystery, Sci-Fi, Thriller - look at those genres! this is defs on your ptw bc i reced it to you already but honestly i feel like the dystopian setting will be something you’ll have fun with, and the CG is pretty good

Prince of Stride: Alternative - Sports - is this good or am i just eternally weak for parkour animation? the world may never know

Shokugeki no Souma - Comedy, Ecchi - listen it’s basically a sports anime with how the plot is set up

Star Wars: Visions - Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi - this is 100% here for cool fight scenes. my favorite is the twins bc it’s just promare art

takt op.Destiny - Action, Fantasy, Music - listen, i’m not gonna say this is good. but it has some truly beautiful fight scenes and therefore will be an easy way to fill a music genre req

Rolling☆Girls - Action, Adventure - continuing the “can’t say i liked it but stunning visuals” train. you need it for wit challenge anyway

Been working my way through an old backlog of shows I watched YEARS ago but never finished, and I'm just finishing up the last season of Durarara now. Really, REALLY liked this wild fight sequence between Rocchi and Masaomi, so I had to add it to my collection of #Absolutely Sick Fight Scenes!
