| People looooove weird characters, myself included. Hooray for Shinra. |
 |
| Interesting episode. Ah, headless fairies are awesome.. |
| That was cool, but I want more Shizuo & Izaya! There the real stars here! oh an also Mikado & Kida. They don't need to explain to much of Celty, since shes suppose to be a mysterious person. |

First, it's a woman, they're complicated. Next, she doesn't have a head. That has to be complicated beyond measure ┐('～`；)┌ However she can't talk. So that makes her slightly easier to live with. It’s official. Celty is now my favorite character. Before I thought she was cool, dark and mysterious. And now I find out that shes Irish? HEAR HEAR! As I am an Irishman myself I can’t help but feel glad to see another Irish person in anime. |

| I <3 Selty. I have to get used to spelling her name with an 'S' now >_> |

| Interesting episode! :) So was it Shinra 's father at the inn that told the aritist guy that what he had seen was a Dullahan, since he was doing that same thing with the pen? But then that would have been before Shinra encountered her on the boat... so maybe he took Celty's head?? |
 |
| Holy crap, Shinra is 24? I thought he was like 17. xD Anyway, really interesting episode. Selty's past was cool (minus the autopsy part, that was a bit weird). |
motoko09 said: Someone could tell me what's the purpose of this anime ? I am loosing interest in this weird story T__T Oi,the best part of the story is not started yet but now whining about how weird the story.Since you are confuse let me tell you the key part of the story >Celty came to Japan to find her stolen head >She believe if she get back her head her memory will restored >Meet the Kishitani family & live with them for 20 years. >In the mean time, anonymous internet gang Dollars resurface & spreading it's influence over Ikebukoro. >Other Color Gangs are uneasy about Dollars expansion thus lead to gang wars. This sums up what are the possible element of the story.Since it's 24 episodes,I predict things will kicking up after ep 6.Ep 1-5/6 is covering volume 1 of novel and actually an introduction but the real deal starting in volume 2 onwards. |
| I'm no light novel reader but as an avid fan of Baccano I can already tell that things are just being set up for awesome later (and I already think it's awesome so I'm really looking forward to it. Especially with Kagura89's praise) Anyway, about the episode. -Uh, hey Shinra dude. I'm just saying, um....I know you're "entranced" and all but uh, she has no head. I'm sure you think that's charming and all but I figured i should let you know that having no head is kinda weird so watching you be all touchy-feely, near-rapey around her is even more weird. I guess this is what they meant by billing this as a "twisted love story." -I'm realizing that the ED song has one part of the shadows in the shape of a heart around Shinra and Celty. Didn't think that really meant anything until now. -The ending reveal that Shinra was the one who told the old man that having it with no head was best is just another reason why I love this show. |
 |
| In deference to this ep, I will avoid cracking the 'character looking for head' joke. |
 |
| Interesting backstory indeed. I wonder where Selty's head is, lol... I just love all the characters in this anime, can't wait for more Kida next episode. |
 |
| Never really expected a backstory and the narration was really good. Selty's past is rather unique. |
 |
| nice episode we got to see a nice body XD |

| Even though the dissection was not very graphic, it was still rather unsettling to watch. Ewww. Still, nice to get Celty's backstory. And I never would have thought that she had been in Japan for so many years and with Shinra the entire time. |
 |
| Cool back-story, Celty. Very interesting; so she was not even a human from the start. Next episode: Narrator is Masaomi (fuck yea) |
| LOL upgrade from horse to motorcycle xD |
     |
| backstory of headless rider, a dullahan, a celtic fairy |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| boring... wayyyy to many main characters, not liking it AT ALL. |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_49H_N43jQ #MakeAnimeGreatAgain SAY NO MORE LOLI! BRING MORE GENRES EVERY SEASON THAN JUST LOLI |
| interesting execution of the backstory.. i love how shinra narrated it and how he sees celty in his eyes.. this is really good.. |
Oosran said: Funny how Shizuo's such a good guy btw ◔ ◡ ◔ This. Since a lot has already been said about Selty, I'm not going to repeat after everyone xD She's really a very interesting character. Though pardon me, I prefer men xD I really wanna know what's gonna happen next, and I can't wait for the next episode and for the story to develop. I wanna know better what type of people are all those characters. And what's really going on. I've spoiled myself with Character information here, but it didn't really tell me much. Though Mikado's spoiler was a ZOMG, WTH. I think it's a very good idea that there are lots of characters, but they don't show each and every one in every episode, that'd be lame. I love the way the episodes go so far. And people that are complaining there are too many characters or that they don't understand anything yet, go watch Lucky Star then or similar crap. This show's objectively the best of this season if not of the whole year. |

Euh...what? O_o I thought it was her talking....who was talking then? Here is another interest...if you have sex with Celty....will you be consumed into the darkness or die? Will you even be able to (I mean the rest of her body looks fine as a woman)? Finally what about her feelings....does she even have some since she saved that girl from suicide it might be that she does thus can she enjoy sexual experiences? |

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| francismeunier, it was the narrator's voice, which is celty's imaginary voice at the same time (at least ultil they show her properly talking). It was to make things easier for us; reading every word she said would've been boring, being it animated, and not manga style. |
// Hearts are wasted, lives are broken. |
| Great episode...the operation was a little weird to me though. Now I'm looking forward to the continuation of the other main character's story. |

| never would have thought Celty was what she is. i also am slightly confused as to what is the main story line of all of this? or is this some clever thing that weaves them all together? |

| Celty reminds me of Shiki Rougi a little. Her past just reminded me of 'Sleepy Hollow'.So she can manupilate the horses soul into any entity? Tayloroids said: Me too XDHoly crap, Shinra is 24? I thought he was like 17. xD francismeunier said: The girl has scars on her neck ..kawaiimisato said: I have some feelings about that girl with head scars like someone sewed it back unto her body and Celty.never would have thought Celty was what she is. i also am slightly confused as to what is the main story line of all of this? or is this some clever thing that weaves them all together?

Imo (tho I didn't read manga or novel) there won't be any main story. Just like in Baccano!, where you could say all immortals ARE story, here it's inhibitants of ikebukuro. Every character has it's own background, altho none is leading. Also, I lol'd at Celty's voice. I mean, it's great and all, but it's also Kanbaru's from Bakemonogatari. Those two characters are slightly different after all :p |

Just like Baccano! everything will be explained (I think), so i just sit back and enjoy the whole mess :D |
| i like the story shelty. :] ahmmmm.. |

Excuse me what the hell you talking about?! I don't understand anything from your word.I didn't even think that far Francis,only I believe that Celty does has personality & feelings but this too much.For god sake,stop talking nonsense Francis.No hard feelings okay,this just only reminder from a buddy. |

| I personally liked Selty better without the voice acting, she was much cooler that way. And it's not like most of her lines were that important for them to change that. Also, I've been having mixed feelings about Selty being portrayed as a normal character who happens to be a Dullahan and helps people, but let's see where they're going to take this. And Shinra's dad is a pretty cool guy. |
| Interesting episode. I'm curious to see how this will tie in with the Ikebukuro street life. Great series so far! |
 |
| Looks like Shinra have a headless fetish W00T !? Selty voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro !? Hell yea !!! Is it only me that thinks that Selty is moe ? |
 |
| Well. I like Shizou the best. But Celty's cool. Interesting backstory and I love her and Shinra. |
