Durarara!!

Same author Narita Ryohgo, same studio. Both animes focus on various characters from the underworld -- criminals,local violent gangs and social misfits -- with splashes of the occult and the supernatural thrown in but set in a thoroughly (relatively)modern society not unlike ours. While Baccano! had immortals and mysterious elixirs propelling the story forward, Durarara! has a Dullahan, which according to Irish myths, is a headless rider,an unseelie fairy. Like Baccano!, Durarara! is not your conventional anime and is told by an all-seeing narrator, populated by a VERY large cast with actual character development(how shocking right..:P), and initially seems very scattered and loose in terms of its story line but should begin to make sense the more episodes you see.Both are very engaging and are fun to watch.
