Trivia

 * As stated earlier, this is a retelling of the original Durarara!! Abridged. It's an attempt at a start over from that old series, but it's not the first remake Rusl & Friends has done. They also attempted to remake their first abridged series. Didn't last though. Hopefully this remake will.
