| So, has that guy been the Slasher all the time, or does the Slasher switch bodies or something. I don't get it. D: |
 |
| Never have chat rooms been sooooo awesome. Come on anyone on irc... get your acts together! |
| so when has Namie become Izaya's maid? this anime is filled with detais that I can't focus anymore Saika is the Slasher and wants to kill/posses Shizou because he's strong I don't like what Celty turned into one of the reasons why I loved this anime is because how mysterious the headless rider looked, the idea was great well I guess it's fine now,it's fun seeing her paired up with Shizou :P and this reporter has appeared before ? I don't remember him AT ALL SamTheNayru said: So, has that guy been the Slasher all the time, or does the Slasher switch bodies or something. I don't get it.

D: yeah me niether, I really should watch the episodes again Namie start working with Izaya ever since she was running away from Nebula from episode 12,that is 6 month after that. Well the mysterious part of Celty is no longer available once she expose herself to public at Dollars meetings.But never-mind,she still awesome :) The reporter is already appear in episode 5& 7. Saika is an infectious being,can infect people that been attacked by Slasher(possibly Haruna) that might posses Saika & turned people into zombie-like legions.Look at that reporter,getting hit by van and rammed by a motorbike but can stand still & slash knife like crazily like nothings happens. |
| Very, very good episodes that wraps up a lot of things happened in previous episode. It was very clever havng reporter as a narrator. We finally got to see Mr. Shiki, and Simon's Russian Friend, too. I also like how Dotachin Crew always gets involved in these incidents. This is why I like DRRR so much. <3 I wonder what Demon swords really look like... I mean, that one from the reporter looked like some cheap fruit cutting knife. From what I remember from the fifth episode, slasher who attacked Celty had very... very long sword that looked so fency. I guess that's some another clue. Maybe there are two slashers?... Also, about Anri, I think she might have some kind of 'attraction' that Saika brings sword to her, she definitely have close relationship with slashing incidents that have been happened. Next two episodes will be really really bit. The problem is, BSS almost dropped it now. >_> Edited: Oh, and I am opposed to all those people who thinks first arc was better than this. The whole story went on through the first half was all just merely introduction and most of the 'mystery' element felt a bit cheap. However, I found this second arc being more suspenseful and mysterious. The whole atomsphere is just great. |

| Nice eps for Shizuo! Yeah it's sad Ecliptic-BSS gonna drop it if they don't find translator.. |
Zutto Anime, Game, Manga!  |
| Awesome! Oh seems like Shizou have another fanXD Also I want them to explained about Kida and Saki (that's her name right?). The last part was awesome. The truck hit Niekawa and Celty hit Niekawa with her bike. Next week they will explained about Niekawa Haruna (she's creepy) and the pervert teacher^^ |
| Another awsome episode with Shizu being hilarious...I liked when they all arrived to save Anri at the end... I wonder what happened to Niekawa Haruna... maybe we'll see in the next episode... I wanna know now >_< |
 |
| Did I miss something or was anybody else surprised that the girl that poured the tea at Izaya's place was the crazy guy who's in love with Celty's head's sister? Actually, I think Kagura89 just mentioned it... lol Is Namie her name then? I just can't keep track of all those names! Great episode, kinda depressing for that poor reporter though... I wonder where Anri was heading so late at night... Late night date with teacher? Loved it when the otakus ran the reporter with their van! Dude, the guy has to be dead now! First, stabbed, then run over, first by a van, then by Celty's bike, and then crushed by Shizuo with a van door! I wonder what the Dollars are going to do to defend their much loved Shizuo from the Slasher. I also wonder how Shizuo beating up a few Yellow Turbans is going to affect the imminent gang war since he's a member of the Dollars... hmmm... And who thinks Kida might have been linked to the Yellow Turbans' leader somehow? |

Zubatuba said: More like he was the leader.And who thinks Kida might have been linked to the Yellow Turbans' leader somehow? I mean, if someone like Mikado could start Dollars, why couldn't he be the leader of the Yellow Scarves (Yellow Turbans lol) That'd be my guess at least. |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| Wait wait WAIT! One word: WHAT!? I need some questions answered here. So wait ... no way in hell that reporter is the slasher. So he's possessed by the Saika thing (I thought that weapon was a sword and not just a short dagger =/). The girl who stabbed the reporter with Saika was the man's own daughter?. WHY did she want Anri dead? WHY does she want Shizuo dead? Perhaps she chose her father because he already wanted to meet Shizuo and gather info on him. Or perhaps the SAIKA itself wants to kill Anri and Shizuo (I don't get the 'love' part though) so does the sword/dagger has a conscience of its own? Is Haruna really the slasher? I thought it was Anri! Is Haruna actually the reporter's daughter? She looks so similar to Anri. What the heck is the Slasher and what does it want? Where do Anri and Shizuo fit in it!? And WHERE does Anri's perverted teacher come in here? Probably related to Haruna assuming she was the red eyed girl as well as in possession of the Saika. And he seems to know something about it all. Is his ulterior motive concerning Anri really something else or just sexual? I'm all '?' here. OK, episode comments: This episode was drag in the beginning with the whole history of that reporter guy but the second half was great! But they finished the episode right when the action started wth!! + Simon speaking in his beloved accent lol + EVERY Shizuo moment + EVERY Izaya moment - So Izaya's hired Namie as a part time maid now? She needs to die. - No Shinra in this one =( No matter how many times Shizuo's name appeared in the episode, there was still a shortage of him. I want MORE of his action. AND ANSWERS. |

Actually, I think Kagura89 just mentioned it... lol Is Namie her name then? I just can't keep track of all those names! Do you watch the opening? It's been 15 episodes there's only a few addition but all the cast are mentioned there. By now you should have memorized their names. And it was 2 or 3 episodes back that Namie started to work with Izaya. She even has that punchcard that workers use. Episode was great. I love Simon's background music as well as Saika's. Izaya did it again in the chatroom. I think Saika is looking for the strongest so it(?) can possess him and protect Anri? The reporter himself said, "Look after her" so it must be something like that. There's a lot of clashing between the characters now, though we're still missing some, like the policeman, Saki and Kasuka. Next we get Haruna and Anri meeting. I wonder what happened to Harima and Seiji? |

| Shit just getting better and better, from eps 12 stuff just get piled and running with more faster pace, i love its so much. hope it will stay like this till the end. and I like this second OP than the first one now for the hater of this arc. are you kidding ? u all like more that first intro 12 eps than this adrenaline-beater arc ? what are you hoping after all, some another moe slice of life title ? lol, people just ridiculous... oh meybe they just not know yet about Baccano |
 |
| omg wat happen to the poor reporter lol |
| I found the first half of the episode interesting, if only because it showed an outsider seeing all these characters that I've become used to. Seeing things from a different perspective is always cool to me, idk. Once again the chatroom proves to be interesting. One of my friends who's also watching DRRR says the chatroom scenes annoy her, but I really like them. It was creepy to see Saika latch onto Shizuo so quickly. >:3 Speaking of Shizuo, and Izaya, really, they both just continue to be great characters, I love it. Oh, the OP is growing on me...the ED not so much, just my opinion. And, I can't be the only one who noticed that Shinra wasn't in this episode at all, hnhhh. 8( |
| I like where this arc is going. This show only keeps getting better. |
 |
| HOLY SHIT??? yet another unexpected revelation. i was nearly convinced that the slasher was his daughter, but lmao. gg, durr, gg. I WANT A .GIF OF SHIZUO HUMPING CELTY'S MOTORBIKE. :[ |

Francismeunier has already posted the shizuo bouncing GIF on the first page. =) |
|
| You pulled that number out of your ass, Shizuo. So far my opinion of Durarara!! hasn't changed considering what a real degeneration (which I've yet to see) of the series would turn it into. Since the beginning to this day I still look forward to a new episodes. |

We don't know for sure. No confirmed answers regarding the slasher have been revealed yet. I doubt it's the reporter. I even doubt if he's a member of the dollars. But my best guess would be Haruna (his daughter I assume), yes. The long black haired and red-eyed girl who's supposedly the slasher. We saw a glimpse of her in the dark room, working on the laptop. Lets see what the next episode reveals. I have so many curiosities and unanswered questions myself. |

| Shizu is a sexy bastard. Walker and Erika.<3 I am convinced the new ED samples the theme song from the X-Men cartoon...but I like both the new OP and ED. Project_MkUltra said: Are you kidding? The series was way better before Ep 13. Ever since then this show is turning into crap. That's a rather dismissive way of disagreeing with someone. Dunno if you've realised, but you sound like you think your opinion is superior to everyone else with that comment. |
myth720 said: I'm surprised he went at that guy with just the door and not the entire van ^^ LOL, I wonder if Togusa will flip out about damage to the van. |
 |
Celty is cheating! |
    |
| I love Shizuo and when he was bouncing on the motercycle. lol. If the slasher does end up hurtin him, I'm going on a rampage. And if what hilarious hearing the slasher coming from that dudes mouth saying that he loves Shizuo. I like how the episode was mixed with a lot of different perspectives this time. Anyways, Celty and Shizuo make a kick ass fight time. |
 |
| Celty and Shizuo are pretty aweseom as a team, looking forward to the next episode ^^ |
| Hmmm, so THAT was the slasher ? At least the current person cursed by the blade ? Not that impressive. Still, the first part in documentay-style was quite original and the second part was extremely well-paced and directed. And I finally understood part of the story with Niekawa Haruna (the journalist's daughter...) and her teacher that Kida revealed last ep. Overall, that was a very entertaining episode. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| i feel sorry for the reporter being possessed- hes going to hurt tomorrow! |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |

Diceroll said: Fantastic episode. Durarara is only getting better IMO. I agree. I never read the novels, so it helps not to compare it to anything. |
| I wish they didn't change the theme songs. I used to listen to the opening and ending theme every time but now i just skip over it. It degrades the quality of the anime I feel. |
 |
| this episode was pretty epic explaining more about the Slasher and how it kinda works even though we don't have most of the details yet. Also Anri gets attacked a lot for no reason. And wow it looks like normal humans can turn into the slasher. And Shizuo was talked about a lot in this episode as well we already know that in that chatroom Celty,Izaya and Mikado all talk about the events in the city.And how the slasher keeps on appearing in that chatroom. |

garfield15 said: -Oh Shizuo and your "Kill kill kill kill kill" and your "there is a 0.000000000000000000000675% chance of killing someone with a stare"... That's why I love Shizuo. He is just to adorable! Even if he is that short fused. He is my favorite character!! I was surprised about the aparition of Shiki from Awakusu-kai in this chapter. But well,if Awakusu Kai will appear in DRRR!!,it will be in a second season,for sure. I think that Shuji was the narrator and had a very extense introduction is because he is very related to all the Slasher stuff in some way, and he also was searching for the strongest man in Ikebukuro (the same as the Slasher,as we can see). Haruna's face creeps me out. And the end (Shizuo's final beat to Shuji) left me frozen and almost crying,I dunno why,the final "Crack" turn me creeped. Actually I really hype with this series. I still finding it very awesome,tough,and I hype. |
NNNGHOOOH said: In the beginning it felt like this episode was slow going, but by the end I was left wanting more. I'll never tire of Izaya's ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!! KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! :P |
 |
| so who was the one spying on shizuo on the last episode? was it Haruna or the reporter? ^^ man.. this show keeps on getting more and more interesting |
| I liked the reference they made for Yotsuba&! |
     #Feitoism @ irc.rizon.net - the official IRC channel for Fate Testarossa.  |
| I love Celty and Shizuo's relatonship. Listening to Celty talk about Shizuo was pretty cute. I feel pretty bad for the reporter getting possessed. He just wants to make his daughter happy. But now we know that the Slasher can possess people. Scary stuff. Living in Ikebukuro is no walk in the park. Also, ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!! |
| KITAAAAAAAAAA!!! ｷﾀ━━━━━━\ (` A `) /━━━━━━ !!!! |
| |
| Seeing Shizuo and Celty together always put a smile on my face, to think these two are such good friends their personalities are so different. So that slasher is some kind of disease or what, it seems the last person who get cut get possessed. I think I heard broken bones -_- |
Vizard said: I liked the reference they made for Yotsuba&! Ahaha, I saw that one coming as soon as he said "green-haired foreign daughter!" ;v; <33 Anyways, I anxiously await the next episode, especially after seeing that new girl in the preview... |
Oosran said: I can say the same for Shizuo and his "Izayaaaaaaaaaaaa!" That is the best....want to hear more of this!NNNGHOOOH said: Me neither actually, that's like.. One of the highlights of the episode, whenever Izaya goes 'ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!!' : 3I'll never tire of Izaya's ｷﾀ━━━━━━(ﾟ∀ﾟ)━━━━━━ !!!!! |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
