Anime Worth Watching!!!

This was an anime that had all the things I was looking for: good music, plot twists, action, fantastic animation and of course amazing voice actors in both English and Japanese.
Durarara had an unexpected dark plot to it (should have guessed from the dark animation) but that did not detract any of the entertainment from it. The only downside was probably the story felt a little unfinished... only a little (seeing as Celty never did accomplish her initial goal). However the character introductions, layout of the episodes and speed meshed together well to create an anime that left me begging for more.
The dialogue held quite a number of my favourite voice actors from English dub's Johnny Bosch and Crispen Freemen to Japanese dub's Hiroshi Kamiya and Jun Fukuyama. They were all well suited to each individual character regardless of the language and brought the characters more to life. The character themselves were well done. The unexpected character traits that are revealed over the course of the story kept me second guessing everything and also added to the comedy.
Lastly the music, its been awhile since I found an anime where I loved the opening and ending songs so it gathered a full thumb up from me. The soundtrack within the anime was well chosen/written and was used at the appropriate times. The soundtrack also didn't draw away any attention from what was going in the scene but added to the mood of the moment which was good.

Now I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who likes action, school life tinged with a small dose of romance, good old slap stick comedy and of course a large amount of dark conspiracies. It moves at a good speed so there's never really a dull moment in the anime and the comedy flows through the anime the whole way through.
