Hey there Theo :) Like Chrome says, Durarara is really kind of special, and the most similar series to it that people know is Baccano! They're currently releasing the Baccano! novels, which tell a much bigger story than the 16-ep anime, and the books are half the price if you download them via a Barnes&Noble nook app. The anime's not on crunchy but it's on several other streaming sites; I use the first google result under "watch baccano online." I recommend it dubbed because they did a great job with the New York accents, but listen to what you like. If you like pieces of a story being seen and responded to by different characters, Death Note has parts that break away from the linear storyline, probably why DN and Drrr are in my top 3. If you like handfuls and handfuls of characters with a piece of the story to tell, there's the Tokyo Ghoul manga (not that anime though, you won't get much there); the huge cast of characters has brought it criticism but is one huge reason the fans of the manga love it so much. Assassination Classroom, too, has many characters in the spotlight and also balances humour and action well, but a story doesn't get much more linear than that one. I hope you're enjoying Mekakucity Actors; I thought it didn't develop the story well. These titles are all really well known, though; I haven't seen many anime series yet, but I will keep looking for more shows to watch and recommendations to give, because the things you like about Durarara are what I like about it too.
