I wish I could do that. There are so many cosplays I want to create.

dajanfbowrhadsklf OK so Im in the middle of Durarara! Im surprised by how good it is. Another one of those I thought were just overrated, but no, this is good.

Right away I noticed the striking similarities to Baccano. Huge diverse character-set that the plot begins to intertwine the characters into a few mysteries, all tied together by one larger mystery. After about the 5th time I watched the theme song, I realized it was the same studio as Baccano, the way they introduce all the major characters, and in the middle of the OP, give flashbacks of previous episodes etc.

Watched episode 11 yesterday...

Spoiler

Between that and yesterday's Naruto episode, my eyes were overloaded with epicness for one day.

Keeluah · 05-24-2014

I've been slowly watching Durarara the past weeks, I'm around episode 7, slow I know. I was planning on getting through it faster, but then I decided to watch RailGun after seeing Index long ago. All because of the Anime 2013 Battle thread on Crunchyroll.

RailGun first season is pretty generic, with an overload of cuteness and girls that are amazingly fun to watch, but I heard the second season is really really good with the Sisters Arc.

Blah64 · 05-24-2014

The second season was awesome. It is better than the first season of Railgun. Oddly gory though.

And railgun is just so much better than Index. I abhor Kamijou Touma (although I slogged through every light novel, because I enjoy a lot of other things about the series), so it is nice that there are series devoted to characters other than him. I like Accelerator's new series. I wonder if it will get an anime eventually

I'm sitting on the half way point for Durarara and I finished the first season of Index.

I have question for that series though, does it matter which order I watch them in? like I watch Index S1, will skipping Railgun S1 and going straight for Index S2 screw me over in anyway or are they separate stories?

Well in airing order it's Index 1, RailGun, Index 2, Railgun S.
In Chronicle order (Most Suggested) it's Railgun, Index 1, Railgun S, Index 2.
What I'm going to do is watch Index, Railgun, Railgun S, Index 2. Since RailGun S is based off the second half off Index 1, but it goes way more in depth with the sisters.

RailGun and Index are separate stories, besides they use they same characters, but had different MC. And the fact that they share one similar Arc, so you don't really have to watch RailGun, but it's better if you did. Railgun is more liked compared to Index.

MAL ratings:
Index - 7.821 (scored by 90142 users)
Index II - 7.931 (scored by 56130 users)
Railgun - 7.961 (scored by 65993 users)
Railgun S - 8.261 (scored by 30132 users)

I knew the airing order, which was what I was gonna do. I wasn't sure where chronically everything was. I'll probably do what what you're doing since I already watched Index 1, won't be for awhile though. I gotta finish Broken Blade, Non Non Biyori and I'm in the middle of Phantom (Just past the halfway mark)

Keeluah · 05-24-2014

Well I just finished Railgun, and now I can see why it was so popular. Very good ending. I will start Railgun S on Sunday, I skipped all of today's new episodes to finish Railgun.

The source material is written by the same person and its set in the same universe. But i really want a second season of Baccano!

twilit · 05-24-2014

but it ended...

I was reminiscing, watching OP's for anime i watched long ago and saw this on the recommendations bar... couldnt help clicking.

Keeluah · 05-24-2014

I just found out about the Anime Studio SHAFT's famous head tilts. I always saw these head tilts, but never really noticed about how crazy the head tilts really are. Damn thinking about people who always do those head tilts really hurts the neck.

Spoiler o.m.f.g. i almost choked because i was laughing so hard when Isaac and Miria from Baccano made a random appearance. Once i got my breathing under control, five minutes later i could hardly breath at all after realizing that everyone in the city was a member of the mysterious secret gang, "The Dollars." And that the main character unknowingly started The Dollars. Between that and yesterday's Naruto episode, my eyes were overloaded with epicness for one day.
