Just one thing to add: Simon/Narrator's VA is fabolous. As is the rest of course just like in Baccano but Simon gives me the lulz. "russiia sushi yo! umai yo!yasui yo!"

Meaning in Japanese,

'Shizuo' = 'quiet man'
'Heiwajima' = 'peaceful island'
lmao that is brilliant.

Shizuo is definitely my favorite character so far with Izaya at a close second, loved him hopping at the end xD
It seems the series is still setting up. Overall the episode was okay, first half wasn't that interesting, but it was great to see the characters interact. Can't wait to see more of the cute/strange doctor next week :D

I'm stuck somewhere between "What the hell did I just watch?" and "This is awesome!" at the moment, especially after this episode.

I imagine I'll settle on one side after a few more episodes.

Great episode.

Spotted a Baccano! and CENCOROLL poster, a picture of Maiza and Csezlaw, something I can't make out but looks like Ennis, Lua and Ladd, and Enma Ai. Ah, and volume 1 of Yozakura Quartet. I might've missed something else.


I SAW THOSE TOO. i even thought that poster of czes & maiza was actually a poster of ciel & sebastian from homobutler at first, LMAO. i'm actually loving the random baccano! cameos. 8')

ONTO THE EPISODE: this anime is exceeding all of my expectations, god damn. it just gets better & better every week. *///* NEXT WEEK WILL BE GLORIOUS. shiiiiinraaaa time. :D

I didn't like this episode. The narration was dumb, and if the whole point of this episode was comedy, then I don't think the reactions were really suited to it. It was a weird follow up to last week's spot on episode. I hope I didn't speak too soon.

That was a great episode. These characters just seem to have just the right amount of psycho, mystery and humor.

This is all just guessing and using hints from the show and character pictures, but I have a theory about the black shadow things that are seen in their profiles. I think it somehow enhances the user or the user can use it a weapon. For example, Shizuo becomes/is has freakishly strong arms, Anri becomes/is a very fast runner, Celty uses some type of black scythe that comes from her neck/head(?), etc.

I don't know if he is entirely evil. He raped all those guys and everything, but they kind of asked for it, and he must have a reason to want Izaya out of Ikebukuro, too.

"He's almost like violence dressed up like a human"

Plus he punched a guy so hard his clothes came off before he hit the ground! Geez, every episode I come to like these characters more and more..

Each episode is getting better and better. Hope it keeps it up!

I hope next episode (or ep 5) will give more background about Seiji and Mika, because it's starting to get confusing with them.

Liked the fight scene, it made me lol.

This show is absolutely amazing, it seemed like for the first couple episodes that things were kinda normal(at least as normal for a show with a headless motorcycle rider), but now they're going for a more exaggerated reality with people getting their clothes punched off. I was wondering if they were actually going to have Simon use Russian in the show and from what I could tell it was good, however my Russian isn't that great. That Izaya guy is awesome too, when I'm twenty-three I hope I'm like him.

So, Izaya can also be nice and righteous if he felt like it, though it seems like whether stepping on to help people or leave them to their fate is all a part of a game to him. Him stomping on a cell phone was the coolest way to get back at a girl without hurting them and he did manage to creep them out XD

Also, a good introduction of Shizuo and his brutal strength. I wonder what his beef with Izaya is and his connection with the headless biker, and whether if they are working together against Izaya.

I'm really looking forward to see where this show is headed. I like the fact that it has a linear plot, unlike Baccano, which jumped around like a mofo. Although I'm going to watch baccano again so I can follow it better. Plus it's just totally badass. Btw, punching someone out of their clothes is awesome!
