Damn, I love the new OP song, more intense than the previous two.

Great to see some of the main characters return Celty. I think the show is off to a terrific start with the return. I like how the action transited between the previous season. Good amount of buildup for this arc/season at Shinra's apartment.



Good episode. Izaya's past events still has influence in this arc ;o

OP song is so cool.

It seems like the police officers who captured OnoD's character got controlled?

Shimono-san's character seems to care about the twins, and warned them not go out.

Many people who searches for hideout gathering, and ended up talking about Celty's head.

lol @ KajiKaji's character interested in Mask guy's research.

Wow, letters of Celty's thought expressed on black thing when angry!

FukuJun's character sensing something might happen and it involves with Celty.

ED song is so cool. The character tree thing looks a bit different this time. Also, Celty's head there!

Featuring female characters mostly next.

OP/ED are nice. An interesting start, going over some situations with Aoba's message to the twins and that one character being controlled (by Anri/Saika?). Celty coming in to a room full of people and wondering why they're here was amusing, and even more so with her going against Namie about her head.

10 minutes for it to come for HS. You got me excited for the OP now, I was worried it would be bad like the 2nd one from the first season.

Commenting again when I get to it.

This episode served as a great reminder that everyone in this series except for maybe Celty are fucking crazy lol

First off the OP and ED are great as usual for DRRR but I think that this OP has been the best since OP1 and 2 of S1 and the ED is surely up there with the best

It was nice seeing everyone again, as well as getting proper explanations as to why everyone we in Shinra's house so that plus seeing Izaya escape and come out on top pf things again was really great

The comedy in this episode was HILARIOUS but putting that aside I like how a new alliance was formed so things are going to get very very interesting from here on out and I can't wait

Great start to the final season

Finally Drrr again.
Almost every character turned up.
lol Izaya kicked in the stomach but he's totally alright, didn't even blink.
I missed Kaji Yuki voicing Yumazaki, it's so funny
I liked the previous OPs more though

Everyone is back at Celty's and Shinra's place. Again.
That cop who goes after Celty all the time was boss in this episode. I loved how he told Shizou that Celty needs to turn on the lights on her bike xD
Fortunately not as much plot to bore you.
And damn I kinda want to see that dullahan doujin.

I didn't like Shou and Ten as much as the first season, so I had my worries about Ketsu. I am so happy though, I loved this episode. Seeing all my favourite characters again and then a bunch of them in the same place- that was just great. Really funny episode too.

Starting up with top craziness as usual XD

Shingen and the gas masks part was so hilarious lol

Seiji and his chicks never cease to amaze me. So f***n crazy

LOL'd so much at Shinra wanting the Dullahan doujins XD

And ofc Izaya wasn't hurt. Hell he was awake while getting ping ponged lol

A new Guild has been formed and boy is it quite the formidable one. Look out Izaya ^^;

Loved the ED art esp the Izaya upside down vs Shizuo one

God I missed this series and the atmosphere of it.

Nice explantion on why everyone gathered at Shinra and Celty's house.

As expected by Izaya, it was part of his plan to let himself get caught in order to find out about this Saika wielder's hideout.

They joined forces, this will be interesting..

Meanwhile, Mikado just keeps sinking lower... I dont know what that guy is up to and we havent been seeing much from him. It just looks like he's some kind of tool used by that Kuro guy

Great return from one of the most consistent top series in last few years.

The op song is great, but it seriously could use more Mikado.


Otherwise brilliant episode and brilliant adaptation yet again. The convergence of all that was and will be is about to begin.

5/5

Wut?
Aoba surely has his own objective but he has been shown to outright fear Mikado and idolize him.

This opening was amazing. I loved the interaction that was going on in Shinra and Celty's place, got a few almost giggles there. Getting to see some of Izaya's awesomeness right at the get go as well makes me happy. Shingen's group was a huge WTF part that I couldn't help but laugh at.

Mikado used to be so cute, the change is real and happening.

I'll be honest, if this episode wasn't from Durarara, I would say that it was pretty crap. Saying that, it wasn't even that great by Durarara's high standards. Well, it was still a better episode than most of what the first cour of x2 had to offer.

Welcome back Durarara. LOL! Celty playing the straight man getting trolled.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Most of that was in Aoba's own monologue to himself.
Unless he is acting to himself, it would make no sense him to think to himself how he and everyone underestimated him or how frightening and great Mikado is.

Aoba IS using it for his benefit, but Mikado knows that. And Mikado did admit to Celty that he is doing exact same with Aoba and his group.

I never thought I'd say this but I actually felt a bit bad for Izaya being tossed/used as shield/kicked while "unconscious".

I like how the used this episode as well as to progress and as to help us remember what happended before :D
OP was good, I like it, but this show had better ones (imo)

Amazing first episode. Glad to have more Durarara this Winter season. So, was Aoba the one who run out Kadota? He says to Izaya's sister that denying that event would be useless, but it didn't make it clear to me.

About the rest of the episode, Shingen is the best as always (dat gas mask trio while saving Namie) and the scnes in Shinra's house were seriously hilarious. That team is really badass.

And Izaya showing again why he is a cunning bastard. Slon has been rekted again.

Next episode when?

I liked the OP, Flow once again provides another great song.

The interactions between everyone in Celty's apartment was just pure craziness, I definitely would have lost my mind if I was in her position. Lol Walker getting so excited over the thought of them being a guild. And Izaya wasn't even unconscious, damn he's ridiculous.

I'm looking forward to seeing the craziness that will inevitably occur throughout this season.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

first thoughts on OP is meh but I'm sure I'll grow on it like I do with every other DRRR OP.

Glad to see Shizzy is still BA AF

Im glad that this ep was a recap (kind of) because I often seriously have no idea who is on who's side and wtf is happening.

I'd really like to see more Simon and Kadota this cour.

Kishitani's Dad is pretty cool (reminds me of 12th from Mirai Nikki).

All these Saika wielders are confusing me :/

The ED is cool

didn't like the OP or ED, probably the worst out of these 3 cours. This episode felt more like a summary of what had happened than anything overly interesting. Felt like it was padded out with "witty" dialogue and hit-or-miss humour too. The Celty stuff could have been resolved in like 5 minutes. The Izaya stufff was interesting though. Kind of hoping these three cours will pay off, since I feel like there's just too much stuff going on. It's either going to turn out incredibly well or be a complete mess.

What a fantastic episode! The OP was great (and gives me a new idea for the next cosplay meetup), the ED was pretty nice (what's up with that black blob, exactly?), and the humor was excellent! Can't wait for the rest of the season! (I hope this isn't the last season, either. Like, I know it's the third of three cours, but I hope we get a Durarara!!x3 sometime later.)
