THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I have to say I actually enjoyed this episode, even with a new cast of new characters. I really love the art style they went with this episode. Reminded me of Valkyria Chronicles anime/game. Also wasn't expecting them to wrap up this story in one episode, and the way it ended just cracked me up. :D

Its already settle Level-E is my favorite anime this season and with what I saw of the preview next ep. It will just keep on soaring to greatness if not god tier.

Heh, I'm curious to hear people's reactions to this week's episode. If people thought that Togashi could be a real troll last week, then they'll probably be shocked at just how much further he can do this week. The episode literally only had one joke, at the end of the episode, and I honestly think it was good enough to make the whole freaking episode, personally. Well, it helps that the rest of the episode up until that point was a pretty decent stand-alone noir story (at least, IMO).Anyways, for those who might like this series better as a comedy, they'll probably be pleased with the next arc which is basically just pure comedy.

Overall, I think this show is shaping up to be pretty great. Its much better than I expected it would be. I mean, I enjoyed the manga for what it was but I thin the anime takes the good ideas from the manga and improves them further (similar to how the YYH anime was and improvement over the manga).

I was asking myself... why does the art changed now? I was thinking that it could be an other "arc"' (sorry for these stupids assumption that i'm creating in my head...)...

So it wasn't bad x) Waiting for the next ep which seem to be interresting!

Despite everything being yet another troll again, I greatly enjoyed that little fictional story in a fictional story. I mean...the atmosphere was great, the visual changes were gorgeous and it actually managed to be sad and emotional.
I did hope it wouldn't be a troll during the whole thing but then when it was revealed, it strangely didn't bother me at all. This show really continues to amaze me on so many levels.

I facepalmed and facewalled when prince came out in the end ! There goes the dramatic mood !
Gotta say the story though was rly nice . Trying to fight off natural urges and living with a heavy conscience if you can't resist . I did enjoy it even though, as ppl said, it was a total different environment and cast and general feeling .
This anime is gonna be one of my favorite ones if it keeps making me feel amazed with every epi !
I seriously start feeling pity over the 5 kids in the next episode though xD Poor poor kids xD
Aww prince <3

Another amazing episode!
Loved the way they adapted this as being some sort of "live-action" story, in contrast with the manga couterpart that was, in fact, a manga!
Can't wait to the color rangers lol

LOl I loved this episode. This anime is awesome! Once again trolled.

By the way, guys/girls can you PLEASE stop posting spoilers! or at least post a spoiler tag! Maybe most people have watched manga since it's old but I and many others haven't...and I don't like to be spoiled on a such a great series. This tred here is, like they say, to talk ONLY of the anime and not past this episode, so please respect that. Thank you very much, hope I didn't offend anybody.

I saw this coming, since I've already seen other shows do it, but never has it been done that well. The bigger joke for me though was the preview - unless it was a fake preview, they'll really animate Baka's stupid Color Ranger idea. Priceless.

Second time I've fallen for it. I half-expected to be trolled again, but not so soon after the last time.

Good episode. Not sure how I feel about the change of characters, though.

It's just the 4th episode and Baka's trolls are already at Izaya level. He has the talent in his blood, definitely.
Now I'm starting to wonder if the Durarara! special was as random as it seemed to be. There must have been some kind of sign that my eyes weren't ready to see! *dies from alien overdose*
Anyway, the show is amazing, no doubt about that.

Quoted for truth. When I first read these chapters in the manga, I was seriously impressed by how Togashi managed to craft such a moving short story... AND have a hilarious punchline that somehow didn't ruin what had come before it.

The art change kinda gave it away but it was still a good episode because at some point I stopped waiting for the joke and just wanted to see what was gonna happen. Awesomely meta. The script is pure genius, the way it can bounce between serious and silly funny in a second. If this was most other anime it'd be just a dumb filler episode. Now, this series managed to deliver an interesting premise, mood and characters in less than a standard episode. Best damn series, hands down.
