Synopsis
Durarara!! (2010) is an anime series set in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district that you can watch online on iFILM. Quiet teenager Mikado Ryugamine arrives in the big city on a childhood friend's invitation, and on his very first night he spots a rider on a black motorcycle who has no head.
That's Celty, a dullahan out of Irish folklore, searching for her missing head while working courier jobs for a local fixer. The whole neighborhood orbits her: short-fused bartender Shizuo, strong enough to rip a street sign out of the pavement; slippery information broker Izaya, who pulls people around like puppets; and the Dollars, a street gang with no leader and no faces. Mikado wanted excitement, and he gets a city where online chatrooms and knife fights turn out to be threads of the same web.
The show was produced by studio Brain's Base from the light novels of Ryohgo Narita, the writer behind Baccano!. The storytelling overlaps on itself — a single event replayed through different characters' eyes, the full picture only clicking into place near the end. It lands hardest for fans of urban fantasy without the superhero gloss. Stream Durarara!! (2010) online on iFILM.
