Haha, it's almost turning into a zombie flick. XD

And Anri is, not unexpectedly, in possesion of the original Saika.

I liked most of this episode.
I only did not like the use of music in some situations, like playing that annoyingly screechy trumpet piece when Haruna was revealed to be possessed by Saika. I liked it better when they played something dark and gloomy...that piece was way to aggressive.

All in all I found it funny how most of this episode (except the music) was how I imagined the whole anime to be, yet it felt a bit out of place in the series because of the sudden swing towards serious issues.

NOOOO!!!! I don't want to see Anri and Haruna fight each other. :(
They should team up and get rid of that creepy teacher and after that heal each others wounds if you know what I mean ;). So yeah, AnrixHaruna FTW(Sorry Mikado. I like you and all but....)

Finally! Badass Anri is here!! As what I've been waiting. Can't wait for their fights.

- I loved Erika on this episode with her Shizuo x Izaya question and everyone's reaction, especially Shinra was consider it and Celty does not want to think about it xD

- Seriously, Haruna should have stabbed the teacher first before kill Anri. And I don't understand the teacher even dear to come in front of Anri's apartment which make me happy that he met Haruna instead.

- The little Shizuo vs Izaya... I wish for more of it than Celty or anyone coming and stop them. I want a full fight between them, damnit!

- And am I the only one who felt like the animation of Izaya (and Anri at some shot) is getting sloppy since episode 15 while the rest still look the same? I swore they look better on the first season.

- Also, I'm getting a little more annoy over the fact that they keep cutting battle scene.

Awesome episode. As much as I like Mikado, I think I like this arc better. We'll just have to see with Masaomi next. But lol. Almost everyone in Ikebukuro got stabbed? And again, where is Mikado and Masaomi during all this?

Oh, that Shizuo-Izaya joke at the beginning was perfect lol.

My brain: Yorozuya Gin-chan -> Yozakura Quartet = Yorozuya Quartet (this is how much Gintama has affected me).

Excellent episode! I now officially love Haruna! Shows in my avatar soon enough. Haruna was fantastic! From her eyes, expressions and talk with Anri. Shizuo/Izaya showdown was good but wished it could have been another fight and it was almost until Celty interrupted.

The zombies appearing did look to me like Resident Evil a little but that changed when those three girls appeared.....
I though they were dead!


Anri killed her parents? Oh! What the heck! I am shocked that she killed them! D: =>
Another thing is (even though I had some intuition about it) Haruna stabbed her own father? Her own father.... Ok.......don't like the thoughts of it....is there any way with memory or something to resist Saika? I mean to go as far as your own father....=>
Most amazing part like someone said really nicely done and mixed right=>

Maybe later more GIFs but Durarara...........is getting more EPIC and epic with each episode!

Yeah teacher must die! Die and die but you know that little blood when Haruna cut herself in his face does look like a nice bulls eye....yes?

About that issue,i think next episode should explain all of that but i don't think Anri could do that.It might be the influence of Saika that drives them crazy & killed each other.

I love his expression when he sees Haruna face & scare shitless thus running away like coward.He might be expecting Anri but instead a creepy yandere student shows up.Take that pedo sensei!

Agree with you there Kagura89 but also I will add the blood of Haruna on his face is the best of all. Now he is marked with Haruna.......that will teach him to be more faithful.......I was thinking along the lines off........one nice young girl student loves you so just take her damn it! :D

The real Saika is Sonohara,amybe I should rephrase that,the Origin of Saika are created from Sonohara???....So the rest are just the after-effect of Sonohara when she is young??.but now she got Mikado and other friends,insn't it about time she give up her Saika......

It was it weird episode. But it was a great one, some things were revealed. It seems like it was Anri the one that attacked Celty once and called her an alien or something. I wonder if indeed, she cannot love. And how she got the sword.

Also I feel like there is no "climax" to any of this. Just more twists and turns.

Well there is still some stuff about Saika and what it wants to be revealed...so it's basically not just as easy as 'she stabbed her father'.
There are generally two ways to see her action, I think.
It is either Saika's craving to love by cutting...so you could say (as an offspring of Saika) Haruna was controlled by that impulse.
Or it is Haruna who actually hates her father, because he 'made' the family collapse around him...which was not adressed that much in the anime I think.

That's actually also the only thing that really bothered me about the story when I read the novel.
It's really nothing big, but it's certainly interesting how he often tries to write around actually killing a character off and sometimes it can get a little bit odd.

LOL at poking fun at Shizuo x Izaya fangirls.

But seriously, this episode was crazy awesome. Haruna's eyes creeped me out, along with that song they keep playing. Finally Anri is going to get some time to shine! I like her in the novel, and now it's getting to the part where she's in the anime more often too. :) Can't wait for next week's episode~

This anime is simply PERFECT.

Mai Nakahara rocked as Haruna Niekawa, as expected from the queen of Yandere.

If there will be a Mirai Nikki anime I'll kill myself if the cast for Yuno Gasai won't be Mai Nakahara.

Great episode.

Interesting to see the original was with/within Anri, can't wait to see where they go with that. Shizuo was great as usual.....the reasons why he's my favorite grow more and more with each episode.

"Why are you here"
"I came here to punch you"
"Why do you want to punch me"
"Because I'm pissed off"

hahahaha, l love it

We're probably going to find out next episode.

-That was so damn boss. In retrospect, the clues really were around the entire time and I'm apparently too blind to notice this crap when it's in my freaking face. I guess it didn't help that some were saying Anri was the Slasher and some were saying she wasn't here. I got a little nervous at first because when she blocked the sword with her arm, I thought she'd turn out to be a robot or something stupid like that (or a Kaizo-ningen :P) but somehow, hiding the blade in your sleeve just makes sense

-Erika just voiced the opinions of all those ShizuoXIzaya fangirls. So that's where it comes from. It's an in-universe joke. Heck, if even Shinra is admitting the possibility....Speaking of the titular psycho, love how he's like "Welp, off to kill Izaya, clean up for me kay?"

-That damn creepy Slasher music...("OHHEEOHHEEOHHEEOHHEE")

i think it's because Anri is actually in control of the real Saika. Shinra did say that someone strong was in possession of it and suppressing it. she might have "sealed" it's desires within Herself. i don't know how Niekawa came into possession of a lesser Saika or how it was even created, but Anri and Niekawa seem strong enough to actually control the blades
