Excellent episode.

Balances humor, action, and story wonderfully as usual.

Got to see character's that haven't been in focus for a while, too.

When Shinra gets ready to kill Aoba, I was smiling. Many times, this show has made characters on the more normal side appear just as abnormal as anyone else; and that's something I really love. Mairu and Kururi stood out from their season 2 debut, but seeing them get nervous around Namie-san reminded me they aren't the only standouts. Then right after, Mika. Oh my gosh, Mika!

*exhale* Mikado's awakening was incredible, too. Been itching to learn how he's been, and this episode gave me what I needed...to need even more x3

Just thinking about this show is heartwarming. It does everything I could want.

Oh! And about the stalker some are creeped out by...I have no problems with him; however, hearing he scattered bloody photos of Ruri in public is cause for concern ^^'

Rule of thumb: If in doubt, head to Shinra's house. He holds the key to everything~! XD

Shizuo sure is a magnet for small wild creatures!

I loved that meeting of monsters. Celty, Anri, Shizuo and Ruri in one place... If they started fighting the whole Ikebukuro would end up in flames. :P

Looks like in the next episode the Kadota's group will make a small appearance, I can't have enough of their jokes and crossovers.


Yes! I love those guys! Erika and Walker are hilarious! Hopefully we get to see a bit of Erika's fujoshi side. XD

Evidently a set-up episode for the rest of the series, but I can live with it given that everything that seems to be about to happen seems very exciting and promising. It's also good to see more of Mikado and co again, as they hadn't appeared much in this season before now.

Looks like Masaomi is gonna come back into the picture, now we just need Izaya to return. Overall, an interesting episode, and Mikado's personality seems like it's becoming more dark

Also, is it just me, or is Mikado developing a bit of a God complex?


Mikado is turning out to be interesting. Can't wait to see how he turns out.

It was nice to see an Izaya free episode although opening the episode with the stalker was disgusting. ugh

I missed Ruri and Shizou's brother!! Shizou + cat = precious.

I can't wait to see more of Mikado's new leadership (and what happens when Kida arrives and Anri makes a move as well)

1) SHIZOU with the cat was just so <3
2) Yay more masaomi
3) badass mikado is so refreshing
4) shinra is so cute

I don't know how I feel about aoba yet, although he's quite irratating, also I wonder what izaya is up too ...

Finally an episode that doesn't just simply focus on one character. It's nice, but I was really missing Celty and Shinra.

And Mikado...I feel like something's going to go horribly wrong.

I'm getting really fond of Saki and Masaomi together. Didn't like them at all at first.

Why did my mom have to walk in while the stalker was licking the picture?

Ahh... it went back to being disappointing. What is with this season? I can't seem to enjoy it nearly as much as the previous two entries. Only the last episode was anything near as good as them.

Celty is a badass and I absolutely love the fact that she's terrified of that officer XD

The stalker is so creepy and I didn't expect Shinra to be that ready to murder anyone

The conversation between Anri and Celty & Shinra was... interesting. It seems to me like they treat Mikado relying on himself as a bad thing, but wouldn't your first reaction to it be like "oh, the kid's growing up, aiming for independence, good for him". I mean sure, that "I'll make a place for you" talk would be odd to someone not knowing what he's up to, but that aside isn't it better to actively work for something rather than moping around passively, just waiting for things to fix themselves. And Anri, him being upbeat is a concern? Some friend you are lol.

Nice supernatural gathering there at the end, and also new people coming to the chatroom (it'll be a pain to remember them all). Great episode all in all, you can just feel the pressure slowly climbing towards the eventual break point.

*Stalker is way too creepy.
* Mikado being a badass or just losing his mind? unsure about that.
*Shizuo. I just can't even.

The stalker has to be by far the most disturbing thing on this show. But Shizuo with the cat....didn't realize I wanted that. Badass Celty was perfection

And oh the build up!

Mikado's going mental. No surprise since he's basically the only normal person in the show and he's had all this crazy stuff happen to him.

Kind of a slow episode really, but it's a good build-up.

What's becoming of Mikado? I like what he's doing with the dollars but I hope he's not becoming a toy in Fake Izaya's hands.

That stalker was fucking creepy. Licking and eating Ruri's pictures. He has a bag full of them. I wonder how they're affecting his body?

Sorry Stalker-san, but Ruri's with Yuhei who's related to Shizuo who's friends with Shinra and Celty who's having Anri over.
That doesn't look like something you could win.
Seems like five new people, including Saki, has joined the chat.
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

so it seems mikado has given orders to disband and beat the crap out of anyone giving the dollars a bad name. looks like we got a creeper kickboxer guy. wow all that for a freaking pet snake guess a job is a job. Also hey that cop guy again. I wonder if thats ever going to lead to something. I dont know why,but I cant enjoy the dead pan couple. Also can you please bring up the whole her killing everyone thing and give us the answer.

WHY WHY WHY DO THEY HAVE TO LICK THE PHOTOS!? It's disgusting!

New people in the chat! Who are they?

Oh come on, Shizuo with a cat in the head is another level... Varona won't be able to hold much longer!

Stalker gonna Stalker. Lick and eat pics and stuff.

LMAO at Celty saving that young girl.....'s pet snake.

DAT ASS! Wiggle!

Even Shinra can get dangerous. Don't ever show up at Shinra and Celty's crib ever again, Aoba.

I liked it better when new people weren't entering the chat.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

Didn't quite get why they couldn't just keep the pet instead of giving it to Shizuo. Also there are too many people in the chat now, it was already confusing enough before.
