This anime is turning awesome.
The characters have the right amount of crazy, to make it very good at the least.

Wow, this just might be the anime of the season. I'm not sure who's more badass, Izaya or Shizuo. The guy can literally punch a guy out of his clothes wtf. I'm totally looking forward to how they're all connected to Headless Biker-san.


Lulz at Quartet and Shana references.

This show is so fucking badass, and it keeps getting better and better. Izaya and Shizuo are such BAMFs, I sort of feel sorry for Simon, delicious Anri seems to be getting harassed by that teacher, and we'll learn more about Celty next ep. Fuck yeah!!!

Awesome episode.

Shizuo finally got his proper intro, Simon turned badass, as if we couldn't tell he was hiding something already, and there was epic cell phone stomping. Also, I saw Firo! XD

And the chick with the scar around her neck who's nameless in the OP is hawt. <.<

Judging by the preview, Certy and Shinra get some time in the spotlight next week. Should be awesome. =)

Shizuo Heiwajima,you are my new Ladd Russo!!!!
This episode is full of win.I also amused to hear Simon speaking Russian at the two female Russian tourists. Kida is funny as usual,he tried to flirting with random girl but fail XD

Izaya is awesome,with his epic cell phone stomping scene+manical laugh :)
Shizuo is fcking badass,punching a guy out of his clothes & beat the shit out those gangsters is pure awesomeness. Not forget also Simon,jumping from the high building & catch flying vending machine,this guy is hidden badass. Nice Mikado/Anri moment,I wonder how their relationship develops.

Next ep,Shinra got his proper screen time,what are the purpose the video cam he carrying along?

This episode was just awesome. The fight scene between Shizuo, Izaya, Simon and The Dollar was flat out hilarious. Izaya and Shizuo sure do have an interesting relationship I want to know more about.

Besides that, this episode did nothing but confirm my statement for best anime this season.

Great episode. There were some very funny moments....and I wasn't expecting to see Yozakura Quartet advertising (I wish that show was better...had a lot of potential). Poor Mikado...it doesn't seem like Anri is romantically interested in him right now....but maybe something will develop later, idk....could just be wishful thinking. I am very much looking forward to more.

Wow, Russian was actually correct (although heavily accented, of course). Nice.
Shizuo with his blood-covered face gave definite Claire Stainfield vibes xD
Nice ep, although a bit boring in the first half, not too interested in the school stuff compared to action and gangs.

Shizzy is crazy o.o Dealing with all of them at once was awesome. Also, Simon? Wth? Beware of the nice ones, I guess, but what about freaking jumping off that building? xD
I'm sure I saw Firo. I need to watch Baccano o.O

HA HA! Loved it! I laughed a whole bunch in this episode but somehow the tension of the deeper underlying plot is still there...ESPECIALLY when the guy was punched out of his clothes...it makes me want to go tell my little brother to stand still and try to do it a couple times ^.^

I've been waiting for this kind of show. Lately everything is about fanservice and moe. I'm glad this one is about characters, story and atmosphere (in addition animation and music is top-notch ;)).

The last two episodes showed this show had potential. This episode tossed away that stigma and became the piece of fucking awesomeness that it promised it would be.

I don't normally watch an episode twice but I did here~

Great episode.

Spotted a Baccano! and CENCOROLL poster, a picture of Maiza and Csezlaw, something I can't make out but looks like Ennis, Lua and Ladd, and Enma Ai. Ah, and volume 1 of Yozakura Quartet. I might've missed something else.

Was that a Dokuro-chan reference I saw? Haha, this show is awesome!

There's really no reason this show couldn't take place in the same universe as Baccano. I think it stands on it's own and doesn't need to borrow anything for plot, but cameos would be totally viable.

so, Shizuo = Vino + Ladd
but the most awesome thing about this episode is Daisuke Ono, who's voicing Shizuo. I mean, this guy was a Koizumi seiyu and now he sounds almost like Kazuya... just amazing...

God, the guy who got punched out of his clothes was great. I watched that over again twice. Absolutely hilarious.

The dozens of characters is brings back memories of reading Mrs. Dalloway, but on a smaller scale. Compared to that book, this is nothing.

This will definitely be my favorite anime of the season.

The OP and ED seriously addicting. The charcters are crazily amazing. And with all the stuff going on in one episode you can't help but be entertained. Just 3 episodes in and its easily my favorite show this season.

I didn't think it was possible to punch someone hard enough out of their clothes, but I was just proven wrong. Shizou, Izaya, and the gangster wannabe's were ridiculously funny.

FUCKIN EPIC EPISODE. I can't decide who is more awesome Shizuo with his monstrous strength, Izaya with his quick slashing and psychotic laugh, or Simon with his intervention. This show is easily the best this season and it may even be best of this entire year.

And Baccano and Hell Girl!



OWNED!

Unless some crazy, horrible story problems occur later, I just bumped my score up to a 10. This episode was just so damn awesome that I couldn't sit still. I probably watched the fight scene at least three or four times.

Sucks for Mikado at the end though. Thought he had a chance there for a sec.
