Oh my God, Izaya's crazy laugh was priceless xD
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.

Great episode! So much action occurred and advertisement for more anime which was funny XD ( Shana / Bokusatsu )


And Yozakura Quartet :P

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.

Just one thing to add: Simon/Narrator's VA is fabolous. As is the rest of course just like in Baccano but Simon gives me the lulz. "russiia sushi yo! umai yo!yasui yo!"

lmao that is brilliant.

Shizuo is definitely my favorite character so far with Izaya at a close second, loved him hopping at the end xD
It seems the series is still setting up. Overall the episode was okay, first half wasn't that interesting, but it was great to see the characters interact. Can't wait to see more of the cute/strange doctor next week :D

I'm stuck somewhere between "What the hell did I just watch?" and "This is awesome!" at the moment, especially after this episode.

I imagine I'll settle on one side after a few more episodes.

ONTO THE EPISODE: this anime is exceeding all of my expectations, god damn. it just gets better & better every week. *///* NEXT WEEK WILL BE GLORIOUS. shiiiiinraaaa time. :D

I didn't like this episode. The narration was dumb, and if the whole point of this episode was comedy, then I don't think the reactions were really suited to it. It was a weird follow up to last week's spot on episode. I hope I didn't speak too soon.
