Wow this is a very big change from the beginning where Celty was just trying to find her head and nothing else really mattered. I actually like Shinra's dad's personality. Not his character, but his personality.

I could understand why some people might think this series is getting worse since the pacing is pretty slow but I don't really mind it. I don't know why but something about the show is just so enjoyable to watch so I don't really care if the plot is not moving forward too much.

I am really starting to like the new opening and ending. Also, the slasher's theme is pretty intense.

The mystery of the Headless Rider is gone, so we expect a new one, if there is none.. where else would the story pick up?

Good episode, the mystery between Shinra and his Dad is being complicated

Fantastic episode. So much information, but I think this all came out in a very natural/entertaining fashion. I didn't think we'd find out about the Slasher so early, but we still don't know everything. I wonder how much Anri is connected to it. Also, I noticed that the Slasher's hair is the same as Anri's, so while I was hesitant to say it was her, I'm starting to wonder a little bit. There was also that picture that she flashed to of some woman holding a sword.

Really fantastic episode that was only weighed down by Shizuo. For me, he's been the most annoying, useless character in the show. I hope that changes.

A....possessed sword? Did I read that right? It'll be interesting to see how this new plot point plays out.

I'm still trying to decide whether I like or hate Shinra. I like his eccentric and goofy personality, but I don't know how Celty stands all the stuff he keeps from her. It's just....ugh.

Also, creepy teacher guy hitting on Anri! I was re-watching the first few episodes so I could introduce the show to a friend of mine and I was wondering who this guy was and why we hadn't seen him since then. And lo and behold, he pops up again in this episode!

Anyway, overall, a good episode. Very enjoyable, even if we didn't get too much more information about the Slasher. 4/5.

Strange, but to me, Shizuo starts to get cuter and cuter as the show progresses.
To know that he loves his brother is almost more than enough for a prone-to-violence character like him, and now, he's willing to help Celty out.

I used to cheer for Shinra and Celty, but after she's returned his feelings. It's getting boring. IMO, Celty and Shizuo might make a good pair, however, I like them the way they're right now.

And yes! Anri needs to stand up for herself!

I hope it doesn't continue to get boring there. I kinda like that couple.

Well, we'll see where the show goes. I really like it. One average episode so far isn't bad.

That would be awesome, But Shizuo is too busy trying to kill Izaya, while Celty is too busy chasing after Doctor boy? Ugh, so it's very unlikely. >.>

I highly doubt it, I'm pretty sure he just really cares for her. They're very good friends and have been together for a while in that sense, plus helped each other out etc.

Anyways - I love Celty so much, she can be so fucking cute. I loved how heart shaped black fogs would come out of her ahaha. I love how the relationship between Shinra and Celty is, now at this point. Although I keep feeling bad vibes as if things may be too good and may be ruined later on. Things are getting interesting, can't wait to see what the hell is up!

I think it's more like something that's got to do with Yellow Scarves and Blue Squares.

Shingen is downright funny. The little Elevator Button Roundabout trick on Celty had me cracking up.

Kinda weird how he's responsible for detaching her head, discovering her after the fact and also selling said head. Like what?

and Shinra kept shit from her yet again. Celty's gonna leave your ass buddy!

Kida finally sees his girlfriend wonder if his gang activity is the reason why she lives in a hospital pretty much

Look, the character development and plot for this show is ace. Take Celty, for example. Coming into this series, I expected a stoic, mysterious type of character. I didn't expect her to be female, I also didn't expect the writers to throw that mysteriousness out the window in the 4th episode; to replace it with an extremely human character. Which sounds ridiculous on paper, but the show just does it extremely well when you see it on screen.

Also, I'm just not a fan of comparing anime to it's source material. What really matters is if the series works as an anime or not, and this series does.

i haven't read the manga, so I've never known what to expect from this show. This episode was interesting due to the reveal of Shinra's father and Saika but it didn't really do much to explain why Saika seems to be following Mikado's love interest (i forget her name) around. 5/10

I just realized how much I love the OP. Really, I’m addicted. It’s awesome.

Oh, I laughed so much at Shingen’s antics. “Now you have to call me… Daddy!!” He’s absolutely hilarious.

I didn’t think a Dullahan, a headless mythical creature, could be so effin’ cute. Celty ♥♥♥ Shizuo wanting to help her was sweet~

Kida finally visited the girl on the hospital… I wonder what she has to do in this…

Saika is a magical katana that possesses the owner’s soul… Anri has something to do with this… And, since she (I think…?) imagined/remembered a woman using a blade, maybe, that was her mother; she could’ve been the first victim of Saika and attacked someone… And that would explain the spam in the chat: ‘母/mother’. Of course, everything’s a hasty assumption.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

I think the story will progress quite nicely, since the same happened with the first arc; it was somewhat boring, but had an epic ending. So that's something I look forward to.


Same here! Actually, the boring-ness of the beginning of the first arc almost turned me away from the series, but the ending of the arc was pleasantly surprising in how, well, awesome and enjoyable it was. So I'm hoping for the same thing here and tolerating the rather slow and uneventful buildup thus far and anticipating great things...

The end of this episode seemed really promising though! Evil cliffhanger. And truth be told, there were many parts of this episode that I enjoyed... Most of those parts involved Shinra and Celty, haha, or one of them by themselves. Kida is always a highlight, as well. Nice to see Shizuo again. :D

Well , the story isn't moving well but at least we got to know more about this Saika and Shinra's father together with Izaya.

I still don't have a clue as to what Izaya is actually plotting. :/

Leaving that aside, Shinra's father is just hilarious. LMAO

And yeah, Celty's in lovey-dovey mode with Shinra is just awesome. <3

I think this was one of the best episodes to date. A lot of things came out, especially the fact that Shingen was the one that cut Celty's soul. Also, the slasher at the very end seemed like a man and not the previous girl. And he was holding a knife, not a sword. I doubt he's the slasher. Oh well, episode 15 will tell.
