Ikebukuro, a place full of mysteries, known for previous violence with colored gangs, many infamous individuals and even a supernatural urban legend. Durarara starts with Mikado stepping into a new city that can easily become the stage for a story capable to move a person’s life.

This episode is great and can hook viewers as it present introduction for the characters to be noted throughout the series. The pacing is also good and allows one to breath, like the main character.

As a fan of Narita Ryogo who likes his previous work, Baccano, it's a treat to see Durarara!! came to life. But the introductions here are a bit expository from Kida instead of showing the characters. I prefer the introduction to the headless rider than the rest of the cast.

Never thought that on the first episode it will capture my curiosity. Just the perfect pace for a start. Not too slow and not too fast just the perfect introduction of the characters and where the story starts to unfold

Very interesting premise for the first episode of the show. It was already intriguing, especially the "urban legend", The Headless Rider. Great take on turning it into a modern version.

A rather brief introduction of characters showing their interesting points that captures the audience's curiosity. This anime has a gradual and steady development for each characters so please don't drop it until after watching episode 3.

EPISODE CONTEXT

As episode 1 of 24, this is pure foundation—every character introduction, offhand remark, and mysterious sighting is a thread that the series will pull across the entire season. Nothing here is throwaway; Durarara!! is building a narrative web where seemingly disconnected people and events converge in ways that only become clear episodes later. The premiere prioritizes establishing Ikebukuro's ecosystem and seeding the mysteries that will drive the season's escalating conflicts.
