Man I am really looking forward to watching Dhurara. I personally loved Baccano, i think it's a masterpiece from characters, story telling, animation and even the OST was amazing.
So I have really high hopes for Dhurara and from the sounds of it, seems like it won't disapoint. |

I hope not to many people will be comparing this to Baccano, i mean that's when people's standards are set very high, and then disappointed when the show is nothing like what they originally wanted.

Just saw that on ANN and awesome, although a lot of distributers are more hesitant to license titles that are already streaming online. But I'm jumping the gun thinking about that though, wonder how many shows CR will pick up this time?

As I understand it, it's the other way around. Crunchyroll and the licensors tend to stream shows that are unlikely to be released on DVD (this doesn't mean the shows are bad - just that distributors doubt they have much commercial potential in their respective territories). Currently, the market is so weak that distributors are more careful about what they license.

I guess it depends on each company's perspective. According to the ANN staff, big sponsors like TV Tokyo and Fuji TV basically set aside a handful of shows that may be good candidates for DVD/BD and then dump everything else onto Crunchyroll with the expectation that those shows probably won't be licensed (an intentional self-fulfilling prophecy?). I suppose they base their decisions on either pre-release interest from distributors or their own assessment of a title's worth.
When Sweet Blue Flowers aired, someone also e-mailed Fuji about a DVD release, and they pretty much shot down the possibility, having concluded that the market was too small for anyone to be interested. |

All the shows are available online streaming, always. The only difference is whether there is a _legal_ streaming method or whether it's only fansubs. So are you going to argue that only legal streams decrease the likelihood of people buying the DVDs? The number of people who watch the legal streams still tends to be less than the overall piracy numbers...

Anyway, read the first few chapters of Dhurarara online last night and I think the action scenes should look pretty good animated (they felt a little clunky when I was just reading them). And so far it seems to be a lot more straightforward than Baccano so hopefully that will draw more people in.

Does anyone have larger versions of the DRRR magazine scans? I'd love to stare at Iza- I mean! It'll be cooler to see bigger versions xD
- About the mindf*ckness Baccano storytelling was mindf*ck . . . but I've heard DRRR is twisted as well, so even if the storytelling isn't as crazy, it might still be very mindf*ck xD Haha! - Crunchyroll I'm not that happy about CR streaming it. I watch Shangri-la and not all translations seem . . . .decent. - Others For those interested, I made a compilation of DRRR info that I've gathered so far: Durarara!! General Overview contains brief novels, manga, and anime info, also goodies news, also character info, ep 1 preview, and trailers too. Hope it makes you more excited for the anime~ Wheeeee~

I really don't see how it was. The show was just telling a collection of different stories, and they were all mashed together. I don't see what's mindrape about that. I'd just say it was confusing at points, though that built up the suspense at what's about to happen.
Anyway, thanks for the blog post. Do you happen to have a bigger version of the anime spread and novel covers? I'm thinking avatar material.

What I meant that it was so confusing that in a sense it drives your brain crazy. Thus, mindf*ck. Haha! But it had been confusing in a good way for me. I love it when a series surprises me with a BANG at first because of so many things that it shows to me but later as I watch more it gets clearer and clearer. And also . . . wait . . saying how much I love Baccano might make me go off-topic x_x You're welcome I just googled it . . . but not really that big. So it'll still be pretty blurry for an avatar. That's why I had been requesting for bigger versions ^^; Ehehe.

Baccano! for me was one of the clearest show I watched and hence it was very fun, and one of the major factor why it was so great.
