WHY ARE YOU MAKING DRRR SOUND LIKE SHIT?

Don't listen to him, he's too obsessed with Celty to see the rest of the show. =P

*The series is about a Dullahan working as an underworld courier in Ikebukuro, an internet-based anonymous gang called Dollars, and the chaos that unfolds around the most dangerous people in Ikebukuro.

*Mikado Ryūgamine is a young man who longs for the exciting life of the big city. At the invitation of his childhood friend Masaomi, he transfers to a school in Ikebukuro.
Masaomi warns him about people he doesn't want to cross in the city: a violent man dressed like a bartender, an information merchant, and a mysterious gang called "Dollars." And to top it off, Mikado witnesses an urban legend on his first day in the city: the "Black Rider."

Main characters
Celty Sturluson (セルティ・ストゥルルソン Seruti Sutururuson?)
Voiced by: Miyuki Sawashiro[3]
The heroine of the series. Also known as "The Black Rider" or "The Headless Rider", she is a Dullahan from Ireland who came to Japan looking for her stolen head. Her motorcycle is actually a horse in disguise. She has no heart and perceives via unknown sensors that are not located on the head. The physical strength she possesses is above human, though not quite on par with Shizuo Heiwajima. She is also capable of manipulating a shadow-like, durable substance to form objects ranging from gloves to chariots at her will.
Celty lives with Shinra Kishitani and works as an underground courier. She wears a helmet when she goes out and communicates via a PDA. She enjoys online chatting, television and DVDs. She is one of the minority who knows the creator of the Dollars. She seems to have feelings for Shinra, but she herself is unsure if it is really love, oddly enough she has the habit of punching Shinra in the stomach when he talks about his love towards her. She tends to get mad when Shinra says she does not need her head. She is afraid of extraterrestrials and traffic officers as she thinks of both as monsters. She is a member of Dollars.
Her online chat screenname is "Setton".

Mikado Ryūgamine (竜ヶ峰 帝人 Ryūgamine Mikado?)
Voiced by: Toshiyuki Toyonaga[3]
A high school boy who moved to Ikebukuro with the encouragement of his best friend Masaomi in order to search for unusual beings and adventure. Mikado tries hard to change his image but so far he has not had any luck. Mikado has had moments where he speaks his mind, which makes a reason why Masaomi admires him. He is the only remaining creator of the infamous Dollars. He has a crush on Anri Sonohara, but has never found a chance to tell her, and when close to doing so, she leaves.
His online chat screenname is "Tanaka Taro".

Masaomi Kida (紀田 正臣 Kida Masaomi?)
Voiced by: Mamoru Miyano[3]
A resident of Ikebukuro and Mikado Ryūgamine's best friend from childhood. He encouraged Mikado to come to Ikebukuro. He is enthusiastic about picking up girls but often fails at it. Masaomi has commented on not letting Mikado "go to the dark side" and that he has already gone through it. Masaomi was depressed until Mikado arrived. He was the leader of the Yellow Scarves Gang 3 years ago, however, he was forced to join back again due to an event involving Saika. He is also an inactive Dollars member. He leaves Ikebukuro with his ex-girlfriend, Saki Mikajima, during the conflict between the 3 main forces in Ikebukuro.
His online chat screenname is "Bakyura"

Anri Sonohara (園原 杏里 Sonohara Anri?)
Voiced by: Kana Hanazawa[3]
A bespectacled girl who attends the same school as Mikado and Masaomi. She is rather quiet and timid, but seems very close towards Kida and Mikado, but sometimes she tends to enclose herself. Though she knows Mikado's feelings for her, she considers him no more than a "good friend". She is very busty and cute, which makes her somehow popular, even though she feels uneasy about it. She feels as if she needs to rely on somebody to move on. Instead of Niekawa Haruna, Anri is revealed to be the real owner of the blade "Saika" and she has shown great control over it as she is not possessed by it. This is due to a traumatic experience in her childhood that made her unable to love. This negates Saika's "love" for humans and thus makes Anri able to control the blade. She seems to be a skilled swordman, being able to handle Saika with great skill. After defeating Haruna, she gained control over the "Saika-children" that Haruna created. After a talk with Celty, she decides to use this ability for the best of the city.

No one cares about Anri.

Izaya Orihara (折原 臨也 Orihara Izaya?)
Voiced by: Hiroshi Kamiya[3]
A young man who sells information for his own enjoyment and the main antagonist. He claims to love the entire human race except for Shizuo Heiwajima, and exhibits said love by putting humans in often miserable conditions and observing their reactions.
He attended Raira Academy with Shizuo, Shinra and Kadota. According to Shinra, Izaya and Shizuo hated each other with a passion almost from the point they met. In the novels Izaya framed Shizuo for crimes on several occasions. In the anime he puts Shizuo in constant problems, such as gangs attacking him daily up to framing him of crimes.
He is a master of parkour, and also quite skilled with his flickblade (the blade he uses must be slightly opened before the mechanics of it springs opens the blade - a switchblade will open on its own after the user presses a switch) as he is implied to be the only one capable of leaving numerous cuts in Shizuo's bartender suit after a fight in the novels. In the anime, he shaves a gang member's head bald without him noticing it. Izaya has two younger sisters, Mairu and Kururi, who are twins and troublemakers. It seems that from the beginning Izaya had a hunch about Mikado being the creator of Dollars, and he was proven to be correct. He is a member of Dollars and the one who began recruiting people after Mikado stopped sending invitations to Dollars.
He is behind the most relevant events of the series.
His name comes from a combination of the biblical Isaiah and Japanese for "the one who looks over the crowd".
He is usually seen pretending to be female online and talks in a feminine manner in the chatroom. His screenname is "Kanra".

Shizuo Heiwajima (平和島 静雄 Heiwajima Shizuo?)
Voiced by: Daisuke Ono[3]
A man who is always seen to wear sunglasses and a bartender's suit. Although quiet and nondescript while not angered, he has a very short fuse and fights with incredible strength. Despite his simple and unrefined fighting skills, he is often considered the strongest fighter in the series. In the novels his power is described as the naturally unlimited form of human strength and likened to "adrenaline power" that can give people superhuman strength in times of emergency. In addition, Shizuo is capable of often superhuman parkour moves, a skill he obtained naturally from years of hunting down Izaya Orihara. He is also a member of Dollars.
He works as a bodyguard for a debt collector in Ikebukuro and carries intense animosity towards Izaya. He has a younger brother, Kasuka, who is a top idol under the showbiz name of Yuuhei Hanejima. He is also a long-time acquaintance of Celty. Although he and Izaya Orihara are on bad terms, Shizuo is actually well-acquainted with Izaya's younger sisters, Mairu and Kururi.
His first and last name translates literally into "serene man" and "peaceful island" respectively.

Shinra Kishitani (岸谷 新羅 Kishitani Shinra?)
Voiced by: Jun Fukuyama[3]
A young underground doctor who lives with Celty and is also her lover. He stays mostly indoors and wears a white coat even when not working as a doctor. He went to the same primary school as Shizuo, and has since then been interested in his unlimited strength in times of anger, in fact he rather enjoys when Shizuo makes use of his strength. His father was a doctor and since childhood, has participated in surgeries with his father, the most notable a vivisection on Celty. He went to the same middle school as Izaya and has been friends with him since then. He as well enjoys to some point the constant fights between Shizuo and Izaya. As a doctor he is rather interested in what he finds is an interesting phenomena, such as Shizuo's power and Celty's body functions.
Shinra seems to have the "capacity" to tell what Celty is feeling, much to her surprise since she doesn't have a head to show her emotions.

Simon Brezhnev (サイモン・ブレジネフ Saimon Burejinefu?)
Voiced by: Takaya Kuroda[3]
A tall Black Russian who came to the city to help out his Russian friend who runs a sushi shop. His real name is Semyon (Russian Семён) but everyone just calls him by the name, "Simon". Even though he is a friendly person, it has been shown that he is a force to be reckoned with as he is able to stop a fight with a man his size with just a single arm and also able to fight on par with Shizuo, who is one of the most feared men in Ikebukuro. He is another member of Dollars.

Kyohei Kadota (門田 京平 Kadota Kyōhei?)

Heiwajima Shizuo's younger brother. He's a famous actor under the alias, "Hanejima Yuuhei". In Vol.3, Shinra explained to Celty the link between Kasuka's true name and showbiz name: the "Hane" in "Hanejima Yuuhei" can alternatively be pronounced as "Wa" and "Yuu" as "Kasuka"; which gives you "Wa-jima-kasuka-hei" - a rearranged version of "Heiwajima Kasuka". He was scouted to debut after saving the life of a talent scout from Shizuo, who apparently did not appreciate being talked to by that talent scout.

people care more about Anri Sonohara's breasts than anything Anri does. Hell, they care more about
Saika, the fucking sword
than they do about Anri.

Edit
Despite all the Durarara porn, I don't think Celty would be able to have sex, since she's a fae and fae cannot have children, which leads me to assume they have no actual functional genetalia. Unless something does state Celty can have sex, I DISBELIEVE SHE CAN.

Sooooo, what's this series all about eh?
Ikebukuro is littered with gangs, and they basically all fight each other - but they all fear the urban legend of the Dullahan, who is basically the headless rider (Celty) of the show. However, when Ryuugamine Mikado moves into Ikebukuro, he is warned about the three things you don't want to cross in the city - a champion fighter, an informant, and the secretive gang, Dollars. But when a series of events unfold, and Mikado crosses paths with the headless rider, Ikebukuro explodes with a numerous amount of problems.

It's hard to explain, but maybe if you read the manga first you'd get a basic understanding of the plot at hand? It's your choice.

And at all you haters hating Anri, screw you. I like Anri a lot; I mean, honestly, I didn't think much of her in the beginning episodes, but the fact that she's getting more of a background and personality in the more recent episodes really shows that she's a complex character.

Besides the fact that her head can fall off with her still 'breathing,' I think her physical form functions just like every other human being.

But why? I mean, faeries can't have children, if you read any legends they say as much. Hell, Dullahan are unseelie faeries that rip people's eyes out with their own spines, I assume the main reason why Celty doesn't do that is her lack of head. But I still don't see why they'd need to have genetalia.

I am reading the manga AND THEY KEEP PUTTING IT AS DURAHAN IT IS NOT DURAHAN IT'S DULLAHAN READ SOME CELTIC LEGENDS FFFFFFFFFFF

But from what we've seen, aside from a few things, her body basically has the same physical features as a normal human being - that's like saying there's no reason for her to have breasts, which she most definitely has.

DURARARA

Also did anyone else noticed that episode twenty had a BL doujinshi of Izaya and Shizuo?

Well plenty of faeries like banshee and selkies have titties, but they still can't have sex. Or they kill people they have sex with. It's usually one of the two. But I don't think she could have kids, either way.

Ok so im about 15 eps in now and the plot was far to easy to determine during the whole climax with the dollars.
Even the shinra involement was pretty obvious IMO.

So because I have no idea what a banshee and selkie was, I looked it up - and both of them can take the role of a completely different being, which is what I think sets differently from a Dullahan - and by them not having sex, do you mean they can't, or they just don't have one? I don't think Celty could reproduce, either, but because her body looks like any other human being minus the head, I don't see why she wouldn't be able to have sex either.

Also, I think I like Shizuo/Celty more than I like Shinra/Celty. idk, it's hard.

It's just that I have never evereverever heard of a Dullahan having sex. I mean, yeah, Celty is generally not like most Dullahans, it's just that there is nothing in myths where they have sex ever, because they are nasty, mean creatures. So it just seems weird as shit.

also Shizuo makes most pairings into the awesomest thing ever, imo. :awesome:
