Lol same here, I also had a pretty good laugh.

Looks like Harima didn't die after all... but even so, she is one pretty fucked up yandere. SeijixHarima is probably one of the most disturbed couple ever.

I wouldn't call her a yandere. She's just a damn stalker. Atleast so far she hasn't fully expressed traits of being a yandere.

Wow, now that was a huge twist. Nicely done. Harima comes out of nowhere to claim the most twisted person on the show so far. And she was alive this whole time, hahaha. And she won the jackpot in Seiji. Perfect couple really LOL.

Shinra continues to rub me the wrong way. Sounds like he loves himself way more than he loves Celty. That punch that sent him into the window was satisfying. What happened next, not so much.

Izaya trying to recruit Naime to join Dollars. Now that was funny. Referring to Mikado as his boss was great too.

Sounds like Izaya is an anarchist and that he will most likely start something next time.

Also, SeijixHarima = LaddxLua from Baccano.

1) So Mika is actually just Mika, with her real head, just altered around?

2) Shinra x Celty FTW.

3) So, Izaya is a bit of a traitor? I thought he and Celty were on the line of friends, wouldn't he want to give the head back? >.< Sorry for the early accusion, but that's a no-no Izaya! If he has a real reason for this, I'll forgive him.

And why was he working with Namie? Telling Mika is leave Mikado's house when they were on their way... tsktsk.

Mikado = Tanaka Taro (the blue one)
Izaya = Kanra (the orange girl icon, because Izaya likes to pretend to be a girl on the internet, lawlz)
Celty = Setton (the black one)

Maybe close in terms of unhealthiness. But LaddxLua were soooo much cooler. Just Ladd himself is x120409580498009 times cooler than Seiji. Also, Seiji is just tooling Mika, Ladd really ~loved~ Lua.

Mikado's pink cheeks were really cute. lol.

Wasn't that obvious from the title?
Also, there was no retconning. The audience just assumed Mika was dead. It was always intended that she was not and hinted at many times...

So Izaya took the head to hide it from Celty. I really thought he will kiss it. Mikado's stepping up a bit. Great episode. Next episode, looks like the other color gangs will start to move now that they knew Dollars came. Too bad we don't have an episode next week.

Isnt that what they call "beeing in Love" ?

Nah, both of them are just straight up psychos. They went way past anything that can remotely be called 'love'.

Another great episode. Seiji's reaction to the big reveal was great and Izaya's instigating comment right after was icing on the cake. The reason he's choosing to stay with Mika in the end makes the relationship even more twisted but at least they can both be happy this way?

And lol at the Celty-Shinra interaction.

THis show is made of 100% pure distilled win.
Selty is so awwwwww~ I think I rewatched the part with her and Shinra 10 times.
But the head thing wasn't a big suprise.

Half the cast is crazy though:D or maybe all of it.

Wonderful episode.

Honestly, I can't bring myself to say that I hate the Yagiri siblings because they are just so fascinating to me. People are raging and hating Seiji for being abusive and insane and sure--yeah, he's not a great guy, but his intense, inherent personality flaws have stolen my heart.

And Namie. Don't even get me started. I just want to be Namie's number one fangirl 4 lyfe.

Anyway. Shinra is just too cute, Izaya is a fabulous troll, etc., etc., things that have been mentioned a thousand times before.

I mostly just wanted to throw that out there about the Yagiri siblings. They're not meant to be liked. And I love it.

I liked it, a lot. Izaya basically explained everything what happened from Mikado's house to Dollars gathering, which I really appreciate. So my theory right, Izaya was the one who brought out Mika and also brought Namie pharamcy to Mikado's house.

I just can't believe every single question sorted out in just one episode, in extremely intelligent way. Everything is well aranged, and Izaya is now even more badass. Shinra is just kawaii, and Selty seems to be more happier than now.

So, next; we will get to see more about other guys; Kida and Anri. FABULOUS.

Oh, and I know it's been 12 episodes already, but can someone explain to me: Can Selty talk?

I don't understand if it's just her thoughts that are voiced out or if she really can talk. And if she really can talk, why is she using a keyboard to communicate sometimes, but her voice to communicate at others?

No but then again all have different reactions.......I personally despise since she did not deserve....she was not aggressive is the reason.

How is Harima and yandere when clearly the one who had the yandere eyes was Seiji after he found out that Harima is actually alive and that she is the girl he loves.
Wasabi said:
Even after Shinra's confession to Celty about her head, I still think he's hiding something. The guy is just totally shady.

I would think so too but his shade business is quite grand if he did something like that with Harima on the operation table.

She can maybe tell her talk through telepathy but some people just become crazy about that so maybe she does not do it unless she trusts people more maybe not......not sure but people certainly would not take as something normal if she did it often.

Selty can't talk. Her voice is not happening; it's sorta like narrations. Although we hear her voice, characters in the actual anime scene cannot. But from what I know, we can here her voice if she is extremely angry.

I just wasn't sure, because it seemed like Shinra could understand her talking during their heart to heart. She was talking half the time and typing half the time. So confusing.

Well I would not say that but about Shinra.....think of the situation between Haruue and her friend that was in coma......Why was it that Haruue could hear her voice and no one else apart from the skill......because of her close friendship with her.....same for Shinra except in his case he has love......a more powerful emotion but nonetheless equal to care itself. Logically this is what it is to me.

This basicially. Her voice can only be heard during a highly emotional state like at the end of ep 11 and during the conversation with Shinra in 12.

Take it logically Shinra has real love for Celty so logically he should be in tune with her more than anyone else.....only other person I can think of that could is Shizuo since he talks friendly with Celty.

I mean, Shinra can read Selty's emotion just by seeing the smoke coming from her head. That means, conversation is not impossible.

Or, there is possibility that Shinra is just guessing every single thing that Selty is thinking and, miraculously getting it right.

Fantastic episode to end up the first arc.
CeltyxShinra is adorable...Shinra really loves her to the point make lies to avoid her leaving him.What a emotional scene there....CeltyxShinra is official ^_^

Izaya proves to us that he is the biggest troll ever,manipulating everybody in his hand.With Celty head in his hand & his talk about Dullahan=Valkryie theory I bet he gonna make a massive mayhem in Ikebukuro in future events.Also Namie will be his partner-in-crime...best evil duo ever.

Mikado & Anri scene is cute <333 Poor Kida sulking at the back after been kick by his buddy bcoz try to flirt Anri XD

I am feeling Anri might do something to Seiji/Mika.

Great episode that had lots of cute moments. We also got to learn a lot more about Izaya's character and now I'm not sure what to think of him. The Shinra and Celty scene was really nice to see along with Mikado kicking Kida which was too funny. Really looking forward to the next episode because well I have no idea whats going to happen next and that intrigues me >_>.

WHAT? No new episode next week? I think I might die... *tear* Well, at least this week's episode was totally awesome.

Learning how Seiji totally smashed Mika's head into the wall, and Shinra giving her reconstructive surgery to look like Celty. Loved how Celty ended up punching Shinra into the window. >D

Celty's little soliloquy was pretty cute (especially the scene where she lets go of the handles of her motorcycle and leans back... Nice music there~). Also, the Mikado (kicking Kida) and chilling with Anri scene was nice.

But what makes me happiest: more Izaya. (Wish we could see another fight w/ Shizu-chan) Tho having his toss around Celty's head and talk about heaven and starting wars... creeeepy.

Ahhh! I don't want to wait another week.

He wants to confirm the "Dullahan=Valkyrie" theory and the "war"is a mean to that end. Essentially he just want to see what would happen, hoping to benefit himself.
