**Durarara!! opens its Ikebukuro story with a finished 24-episode TV season from 2010. Netflix and Hulu carry the series in both subtitled and dubbed form. It is a strong pick for viewers who enjoy mysteries built from overlapping viewpoints, since encounters that initially seem incidental gradually expose connections across the district.
