Line #23 ShoutOut/Durarara

2
3	* ''Literature/{{Baccano}}'' -- due to the series having the same author and are both supposedly taking place in the same universe, there are multiple references to it:
4	** Any time someone logs on to the Dollars web site the password is "Baccano".
5	** Episode 1: A clip of Jacuzzi appears on a Jumbotron.
6	** Episode 3:
7	*** Several pictures of the main characters appear in the background.
8	*** When Mikado and Anri flee the Shizuo/Izaya showdown, the way the camera focuses on them HoldingHands and the way Anri ends up half-dragging Mikado bears a strong resemblance to Nice and Jacuzzi in the ''Baccano'' OP.
9	** Episode 6: A ''Baccano'' billboard is featured in the end of the episode.
10	** Episode 7: Yet another ''Baccano'' poster is seen.
11	** Episode 8: "Does the scene where Walker and Erika are dancing in the street remind you anything, Miria?" "What, Isaac?
12	** Episode 11 and 12.5: [[spoiler: Issac and Miria make a cameo during Mikado's SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. They are seen again in the beginning of episode 12.5.]]
13	** Episode 12.5: A poster of Claire Stanfield can be seen in several parts.
14	** Episode 18: Yet more ''Baccano'' clips are shown on a tv screen in one scene.
15	** Episode 19: A poster of Chane Laforet can be seen in the background about halfway in.
16	** Episode 24.5:
17	*** A huge billboard containing many of the major characters can be spotted around the beginning.
18	*** Some ''Baccano'' clips are also shown in the Jumbotron.
19	*** A large poster of Ennis is seen during Shizuo's fight with Izaya.
20	** The 1st opening has a billboard of the entire cast seen after Celty's introduction.
21	** The 2nd opening has the cover of the 1st light novel seen during Shizuo's introduction.
22	** While the second season's references to ''Baccano'' had dialed down, there were still a couple of them:
23	*** Episode 1: Issac and Miria briefly appear in a poster in Yuhei's agency.
24	*** Episode 18: A clip of Eve Genoard's meeting with Issac and Miria appears as Masaomi walks around Ikebukuro.
25	*** In ''Ketsu'''s opening, we briefly see a poster of Firo and Ennis during Erika's and Walker's introduction.
26	* Episode 1: Walker is carrying a cardboard cutout of [[Literature/SpiceAndWolf Holo]].
27	* Episode 3:
28	** "They're [[Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan pipiru piru piru angels]] who fly in the sky while showing their underwear to everyone below them!" Also, Walker is carrying a volume of ''Manga/YozakuraQuartet'' (Suzuhito Yasuda did the character designs for ''Durarara!!'' as well). Also: [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Flame Haze]].
29	** Shizuo also gets his face covered in blood lending him some semblance to the Rail Tracer.
30	* Episode 5:
31	** Karisawa & Yumasaki: "The Mellow Scarves?" Kadota: "Yellow Scarves!" Karisawa & Yumasaki: "Sou sore!" (Yeah, that's it!)--Karisawa points out that that was [[Literature/KinosJourney Hermes]]' line.
32	* Episode 6:
33	** Celty watches an alien autopsy show featuring a SuspiciouslySimilarSong version of ''Series/TheXFiles'' theme. Walker and Erika also pull out ''Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokurochan'' and ''Literature/LadiesVersusButlers'' novels at one point ([[spoiler:"Pick a novel, we'll torture you according to its plot!"]]) and the episode ends on a shot that includes a ''Anime/HellGirl'' billboard.
34	** One of the various silly claims TeenIdol Kasuka Heiwajima's manager makes about him is that he's a thousand-year-old vampire. Yes, Shizuo's brother is the Music/{{Gackt}} of the ''Durarara'' universe.
35	* Episode 7:
36	** Movie posters, this time referencing ''Anime/{{Cencoroll}}'', ''Anime/DarkerThanBlack'', ''Manga/LePortraitDePetiteCossette'', and ''Anime/HellGirl''.
37	** The episode above also had numerous mention of butler, most likely due to Shizuo's [[Creator/DaisukeOno voice actor's]] [[Manga/BlackButler previous role]].
38	* Episode 8: At the 7m22s mark, the light novel ''Literature/AccelWorld'' is explicitly named.
39	* Episode 10: A [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Biribiri]] reference, thanks to Walker and Erika. Kadota is also seen reading ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex''.
40	* Episode 11: Erika's ringtone: [[Anime/HellGirl "Ippenshindemiru?"]]
41	* Episode 12.5: The story ends with a line from a poem [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion "God is in heaven, and all is right with the world"]].
42	* Episode 13 gives us ''Anime/SoundOfTheSky'' and ''Literature/HarukaNogizakasSecret'' references.
43	* Episode 15 references ''Manga/{{Yotsuba}}'' by name.
44	* Episode 16: Shizu-chan, you are too old to be sprouting out [[Manga/{{Doraemon}} Gian]] like lines.
45	* Episode 17: Shizuo vs. the Saika army. Does Shizuo's fighting style remind you of [[Film/TheMatrix anything]]?.
46	** Also, [[spoiler:Kida]]'s response to the Yellow Scarves sounds suspiciously like [[Film/TheGodfather "Just when I thought I was out... they pull me back in."]]
47	* Episode 20: The gang wars are illustrated using a [[Literature/{{Toradora}} Taiga]] figure, a [[Literature/SpiceAndWolf Holo]] figure, and a [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Shana]] figure. There's also a Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers gashapon machine in the background, a Hiiro Yuki art book, as well as a clip from ''[[Manga/BlackButler Black Butler II]]'' on a Jumbotron.
48	** [[http://tepshie.deviantart.com/art/Rah-Rah-Ah-Ah-Ah-Gaga-Durarara-169415434?q=&qo= And apparently LadyGaga is part of Yellow Scarves...]]
49	* March 2011 Special: Erika comments that Ikebukuro's "Top couple" has to be [[Literature/{{Toradora}} Taiga and Ryuuji]], while Walker {{Cargo Ship}}s [[Literature/BludgeoningAngelDokuroChan Sakura and Excalibolg.]]
50	* From Volume 4: "Tsun tsun dere tsun dere tsun tsun...Kids sing it around the commercial street of Sakurashinmachi." Evidently, Kida reads ''Yozakura Quartet.''
51	* In the first volume of the manga there is a [[Manga/BlackButler Grell]]evator.
52	* In the manga, Erika and Walker use a ''Manga/BlackButler'' manga as inspiration for their torture. This is most likely because both mangas are being published by a magazine under Creator/SquareEnix.
53	* The manga ''Manga/{{Judge}}'' also appears here.
54	* In the manga, Erika goes and buys "G-Fantasy" manga, which is the monthly magazine that DRRR!! is serialized in.
55	* They also use a volume of ''Literature/AccelWorld''.
56	* In the manga when Mikado and Masaomi go to Animate, keep an eye out for the semi-obvious ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' and blatantly obvious ''Manga/{{Saki}}'' references. "A mah-jong manga for girls?"
57	* Even ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'' has [[https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=352960451468000&set=a.296782033752509.62593.296779513752761&type=1&theater one]].
58	* [[http://postimg.org/image/pruuppg9t/ You can see a few familiar posters in Erika's apartment.]]
59	* ''Anime/SamuraiFlamenco'':
60	** Episode 5 of the second season briefly shows a trailer for ''Harakiri Sunshine'', the ShowWithinAShow from ''Samurai Flamenco''.
61	** In episode 9, which is chronologically earlier than episode 5, there's an earlier shot of the second episode of ''Samurai Flamenco''.
62	* [[http://postimg.org/image/yf6phq7u1/ Aldnoah]] [[http://postimg.org/image/dc0zf32z1/ Zero posters]] also show up in episode 5 of season 2.
63	* In the season 2 premiere, Walker and Erika reveal they're fans of ''Literature/TheIrregularAtMagicHighSchool'' and Kadota reaffirms his preference for ''Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex''.
64	* In Season 2, Episode 8, Walker is shown to be a fan of a female painter named "Suzie Yasuda", a nod to Suzuhito Yasuda, the creator of ''Yozakura Quartet'' and illustrator of the Durarara light novel.
65	* Season 2 episode 11 namedrops ''VideoGame/DynastyWarriors'', courtesy of Walker.
66	** In the same sequence he pulls out a lighter featuring [[Literature/ACertainMagicalIndex Komoe-sensei]] and makes a quip about he didn't learn what he's doing from her classroom.
67	* Walker in season 2 episode 12: "I can't believe Anri is a [[Literature/ShakuganNoShana Flame Haze]]!"
68	* In the episode 31 of the second season, Togusa asks what is going on because of the mess happening on the Dollars message board. Walker responds that they will finally see the advent of the demon city Ikebukuro, that a demon-summoning app will be installed on his phone and their survival life will then begin. And ends the scene with a [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2 "Let's survive!"]], arc words of the game and the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozrl1QsNC4o anime]]. Even better because the game itself had a cameo from Durarara characters (due to having the same designer) with Celty, Shizuo using his trademark pole as a weapon, and Izaya in it.... [[NoExportForYou in Japan]]. So it's a cross-reference between works.
69	* In episode 35, in the dub, Izumii calls the party Kadota is driving towards Ikebukuro "[[ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen The League of Extraordinary Assholes]]"
