The structure of the series also continues to draw inspiration from some of anime's least conventional series, with clear influences from both Boogiepop Phantom and Baccano! still pervasive. Perspectives shift with each episode (and often within each episode), events sometimes repeat from alternate perspectives, and the bonus episode mostly plays out backwards. Like both of the aforementioned, this is also decidedly an ensemble cast show, as even Celty and Mikado only marginally get more attention and focus that other major characters and even they take back seats in some entire episodes. Unlike its predecessors, Durarara!! continues to glory in all of the anime and manga references it casually or deliberately tosses off, the most prominent being a couple of appearances by two characters from Baccano! – and given who they are (fans of Baccano! shouldn't have to guess), it is entirely plausible for those two characters to show up here, rather than just being the normal out-of-context cameo appearances, if one assumes that the two series share a common universe.
The artistry merely continues the standards set by the first third, with the only special new elements being a cool coloring trick pulled off in the scene where the Dollars gather and Shizuo's big fight scene. The practice of only coloring featured characters in crowd scenes is still an interesting gimmick but is also starting to feel a little lazy, especially combined with the rough edges of some characters and the simplified animation in some action scenes. The series can look sharp at times, does integrate in a lot of setting detail, and has some impressive use of CG effects, but there are definitely prettier series out there.
