Mm, interesting finale.

We get to see a bit of Vorona in action and she even encounters Izaya.
I think the final episode for this cour tied up some events well. Nice to see Celty also helping out although it seems like she is sensing that something isn't entirely right.

7/10. I kinda like the previous season better but this season definitely also had its moments. Oh Mikado in a nutshell.

The guy who got his appearance changed told ex-assassin girl to leave the city.

The father is also there and asked main guy's help on finding his daughter. As well as he now know that megane girl knows that he's Dollars.

So the guy who caused the accident appeared. KajiKaji's character is brave enough to fight him back to prevent from being the next one to be in hospital. He's lucky though.

The main guy told Celty what he's doing, and she's worried. At the same time, Yellow vs. Blue.

HiroC's character acted about disappearance to his assistant. Oh, so the chat with Nya was her pretending to be a member.

The series ended with FukuJun's character invited people to his house when Celty came back and somehow that includes the assistant who went missing. Deja vu to previous series' special ep.?

Cannot wait for FukuJun's character and Celty's trip ep. and final season on Winter 2016.

Vorona meeting Izaya was interesting. Mikado's straying away from the others while simultaneously holding on to Anri's safety was also nice to see. Other than that it was an alright ending. Cour was more focused on preparing some action, so high hopes for the last. 7/10

AHH, now to wait for the next season :/
Well at least there is one.

I enjoyed it, but not as good as the previous ones. It felt like just a plot set up season.

First half was slow but holy shit the second half

First off, Vorona attacking Izaya was great and I love the fact that she doesn't realize that she has feelings for Shizuo >//< Glad to see that her assassin mentality isn't gone though

Secondly, Mikado has gone completely off the rails, holy shit, I was hoping that Akabayashi would have kicked all their asses but his terms and reveals were interesting....That convo that Celty had with Mikado was intense too

Thirdly, the confrontations in this episode were awesome especially with the former blue square leader and the Otaku guy lol but that showdown with Aoba's goons and the yellow scarves was my favorite.....Masaomi being one step ahead was great

Overall this season was probably my favorite one so far because of all of the plot twists and I honestly don't know what to say about the last two scenes....Izaya went in of Yodagiri but then it turns out that the secretary lady is Saika or some shit O_O

I have way too many questions lol and it looks like there is about to be a huge war and I'm just scared for everyone....The next cour is going to be GOAT as fuck I can already see it

9/10

Man what an intense finale. The second half of the episode was amazing. I'm wondering how Izaya gets out of this one and again they get in the end (last chapter he gets stabbed and this time he gets caught) wtf. 9/10

Finally we got to one of my favorite scenes in the LN where we see more of Mikado's true face. II feel the studio handled it perfectly. Especially loved how in those scenes you can
. His character, motivations and etc has always been the most fascinating DRR aspect for me. I can't wait for the next season.

Overall this part of the X2 was way stronger than previous since we got back to the focus on Mikado and hte overall big picture of the story of DRR.

Easily 5/5 for the episode and 10/10 for the season.

Despite being mostly set-up for a first season that still won't come out for another 3-4 months, this was a very interesting finale, not least because of how obvious it is now that Mikado has changed past the point of no return. Izaya being captured by the secretary woman, who turns out to be another Saika, is pretty interesting as well. I can really see all hell breaking loose in Ketsu with the way things are gonig right now.

8/10. A significant improvement from Shou

Izaya got rekting again, he is always owned in the season finale lol. The final scene let me intriguing and that creepy secretary can use Saika...

The Walker vs Izumi confrontation was very hilarious, and Izumi wasn't the one who run out Kadota. I wonder who it has?.

8/10 like the previous season The waiting to 2016 will be painful.

Mikado is a pretty poor protagonist. Whenever he's on screen I'm either bored to tears or facepalming at how such a colossal wimp can be the 'head' of an organisation like the Dollars. I feel that all the development and growth he had in the first season of Durarara has been pissed away.

At least this series continues to have some consistently interesting secondary characters to keep things interesting.

Loved the Izaya part. Damn the way Yodogiri suddenly got sent flying by the car was awesome.

Well Izaya getting sent flying was lol too. Still hung up on the nyaa tho XD

Mikado's parts were pretty damn interesting too. Liking him much more.

Walker vs Izumi was best part. Damn this guy is a pyromaniac spraying fire into his face lol

An interesting finale that definitely leaves me wanting more. I actually don't mind the wait, because it seemed like this came pretty fast after the end of the winter cour. It'll be January before we know it and at that point some of us might be saying "it seems like the previous cour just ended yesterday."

Seeing the fact that multiple people are assuming the role of Yodogiri Jinnai clears up the confusion I initially had when they showed him a couple episodes back, but he looked way different than when we first saw him. And Izaya getting attacked by Sloan.....he can't catch a break in finales can he lol. Also, it seems like Mikado is becoming more.......emotionally unstable. Like he's becoming more crazy. Hm, I hope that will be explored more in the next season. 7/10, same score as last cour. Can't wait for the next one.

There is no Yodogiri Jinnai, I think it's just the group that Kujiragi made.

Very strange form of dramatic irony here. Mikado, Kida, and Anri all know that each other is the leader of Dollars, Yellow Scarves, and Saika. But each 3 of them are unsure if the other 2 know about them. And none of them know each others true intentions.

Izaya: "would you mind just taking nap for awhile?" *returns favor to Yodogiri*. OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! 2 POINTS IZAYA!!! Izaya and Yodogiri are tied at the two-minute warning!

Wait... Yodogiri no. 8? Yodogiri no. 5? No. 22? FFFFFF how many are there?! +10 points Yodogiri. Dammit Izaya you just got outclassed again.

WHAT The secretary girl is the one that hacked Izaya's chat name; shes another Saika Mother, and slashed Sloan. Dammit Izaya youre getting destroyed!

nooooooooo you cant just end the season right at the highest part of the build up. Thats all this season was. build up.

I'm kind of losing sight / interest in the plot. I really don't like this hur dur new Mikado persona. His dialogue and role in the show just straight up sucks. He's just the same beta cuck with a crazed look on his face. Feels like the show is trying to do too much at the same time. I really don't give 2 shits about the Dollars/Yellow scarves gang drama. Saika and Izaya seems much more interesting. Actually anything that doesn't revolve around Mikado is welcomed in the last season.
