Title Synopsis:
DURARARA!!

Ikebukuro, Tokyo.

Mikado Ryugamine is a young man who yearns for the city like no other. At the invitation of his childhood friend, Masaomi Kida, he moves to Ikebukuro and enters school there.

Masaomi tells Mikdado about some dangerous people in Ikebukuro to watch out for. There are two in particular, a brawling champion named Shizuo Heiwajima and hobbyist information broker Izaya Orihara. And then there is a mysterious organization of unknown origins known as Daraazu.

On his first day headed into the city, Masaomi sees a jet black motorcycle being driven by a headless rider. From then on, a series of random attacks and events begin to occur on the streets of Ikebukuro, and a group known as the Kikinada Gang arises as Ikebukuro begins to crumble.
 
Eh...[deleted by mod] will pick this up. I don't exactly want to wait 1 week for it to be aired free on Crunchyroll when I can get it free a few hours or so after it airs on Crunchyroll...
 
liam: Don't talk about that excuse for a "fan" group on these forums, please, they go against the rules here. That and the fewer people using them the better.

The point is that CR gives you the chance to actual pay to watch the show legitimately on the day it airs in Japan, regularly, and with professional (although that doesn't always mean what it implies, unfortunately) subtitling.

Your post reveals far more about your attitude towards anime than the quality of service being provided by CR.
