Well, Spark, I have seen "Durarara" and I did start "Baccano", although I stopped because... Why did I stop watching, actually? Hmm. I think it's because I forgot XD I will be watching it, though!
Yes, you've got me, I have seen Death Note. I actually watched it this year, since I denied watching everything that was overly popular. I still won't watch Naruto, no matter what people say XP. I won't deny it has had its impact on me, but I have done everything in my power not to allow it to captivate me to such an extent that it would be an outright copy of it. Although I loved the mind games, when Light switched from anonymously punishing criminals to the ideal of becoming a god of the new world, I remember that I instantly smirked and knew he was going to fail. Any human, who believes they can become something higher than humanity itself in terms of commanding and ruling the world, is being unrealistic and naive. Not to mention, in my opinion, if the Death Note existed, it should have been used only on criminals, who weren't caught. Life in prison, once more in my opinion, is worse than death, because it teaches that actions do indeed have long-term consequences, not an easy way out.
Ah, "Darker than Black". Every time I tell myself to watch that anime. Then I go to bed and wake up the next morning only to have forgotten all about it. I will watch it! Really. I believe that your avatar and signature will be enough to intimidate me to make me watch it XD.
Oh, Alida, I have seen Studio Ghibli's films. Those classics are masterpieces that have so far barely been topped by anything in my personal charts. In chronological order, I have seen:
1. Mononoke Hime
2. Spirited Away
3. Howl's Moving Castle
4. My Neighbor Totoro
I have been meaning to watch "Whisper of the Heart" and "The Cat Returns".
While we're still around this topic, my most recommended manga is "MAGI: The Labyrinth of Magic". There are also 2 anime seasons and one side-story anime. I have personally only seen the first season and... well, my expectations weren't met and I barely finished the first season. This is most likely because the manga's art is wonderful. If you decide to read it, do note that the first few chapters aren't as grate as the ones that come in later. The artist improves dramatically over the course of her project. I'm so proud of her as a fan~
Another manga I would recommend is "Pandora Hearts", although I haven't been keeping up to it much, due to the chapters coming in a bit late, I believe. Lovely art, lovely story. Once more, the first few chapters are not as great, but the artwork becomes beautiful later. It's a truly touching story, if you ask for my humble opinion.
To make it a three, although I have many, "Kuroshitsuji" just amazing. Again, first chapters - not as brilliant as those a bit later. Current state - gorgeous!
EDIT: Wha? Spark, I sent you a PM!
