All the more reason to watch! Is second times the charm? I will watch this since the covers look really cool. Hopefully people won't make a huge fuss over it, because then it might turn into a disappointment. |

I can say with some confidence that the author likes exclamation points and titles that hold no meaning for his readers. I found out what Baccano means (in Italian a ruckus/uproar), but I don't know what if anything Dhurarara means. If it's anywhere as good as Baccano, I don't care because it'll be great.

Answering my own question... if Wikipedia is to be trusted (and who knows if it is?) then the plot is as follows: "Set in modern Ikebukuro, one major character is a Dullahan [a kind of headless, horse-riding Irish fairy] with a living motorcycle in place of a horse, come to Japan searching for its stolen head." [typos in the original] So "Dullahan" what the "Dhurarara" refers to, apparently. And yes, hissatsu01, I think every single one of his series has an exclamation mark in the title.

So the rumors I've been hearing are true. Great news. Can't wait to see this.

That's exciting, but... Baccano 2!!! Do Baccano 2!!!
(someone had to say it... ;P) (exclamation points in anticipation of what the author would use) |

Directed by Omori and scripted by Takagi, as well?
Hell yeah.
Would be incredibly awesome. (Don't think the DVD sales of the first series were enough to support a sequel, though.) |

Why "Dhurarara"? Where'd the h come from?
Since the title comes from Dullahan, Ls would be more accurate than Rs. |

Definately would've preferred these guys to do another Baccano! series but I'm sure this will be great as well.
He has another series called Vamp! |

It's possible Wikipedia doesn't know what it's talking about. We'll need to wait for a website to be sure (or for someone who's read the originals). Baccano! 2.... I'd worry about, because lately sequel series have been letting me down. I don't know if they could repeat the magic of the first or not. |

Wikipedia was Dulalala!! until this article went, at which point it was changed to match. I have read the originals. |

So the description at wiki is accurate, then? Headless fairy on a motorcycle in Ikebukuro? |

Fairy sounds misleading, but yeah, ancient Irish spirit working as an underworld courier in Ikebukuro, plus an Anonymous style game formed and operating via chat rooms. |
