Holy crap, he got beat up like shit this episode:


Somehow though, this doesn't entirely surprise me. I guess that's probably because the way his role was involved for the story. Pretty tough episode. Glad to know Celty find Shinra in time though.

The main guy acts out in helping other members from stalkers' attack.

Mamo's character somehow getting involved.

Shimono-san's character's smirk when seeing Mamo's character...

HiroC's character uses two alias? And there are people that HiroC's character invited to join Dollars??

This is the most intense episode of DRRR that I've seen since S1.....Oh my goodness

Saying that shit got real is a vast understatement at this point....I'm glad that Shinra is alive though

Dammit Izaya!
Since you've been out of commission most of the cour, I thought that, for once, you wouldn't be the root of all the chaos going on in Ikebukuro

I see he's still bitter about the hot pot though XD
- Really surprised to see Sloan among Izaya's Dollars though, I thought he bit the dust last cour when the Russian gang took him away

Seeing the Blue Squares going against those stalkers, and Mikado's actions being found out by Kida. Interesting advancements, though Izaya gathering that party of people, just what is he thinking.

A lot of things is happening this episode... especially on the physical side. Those two man in the car, wondor why the guy with the monocle is so interested in the supernatural.

Damn! Mikado sure took a beating and how he was just smiling like that with his face messed up was creepy. He sure is showing more psycho tendencies bit by bit. He sure did a good job burning the Stalker like that.

Kida's about to dive into the craziness too it seems.

Lol'd sat Izaya having more than one personality online XD He sure got lots going on after getting discharged. All of those new "Nakama to his crew" lol ^^; Looking quite formidable to add.

Masaome got more focus, let's see what kind of impact he has

Mikado is doing very well but Aobas totally up to something

Looks like Akabayashi knows whats up I wonder if he's going to stop Mikado

Holy shit the old blue squares leader is back (i think he's Aobas brother but I'm not sure)

I hope Masaome gets rid of Aoba

Yodigiri Jinnai is appearing quite frequently now, I have a feeling he's worse than Izaya

and speaking of Izaya, using multiple accounts to fool people and rounding up all of those guys this is going to be intense and I know the next ep is going to be amazing

I might have to give this core a 10

Damn Mikado got the shit beaten out of him. Things are getting intense, and it'll be interesting to see what Izaya plans to do with that group he gathered.

Good to see that Shinra is alive, too bad Celty won't go on a rampage.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Mikado showing his true nature and setting Adabashi on fire.

Kinda underwhelming (though might have been because I spoiled myself before this season began).

Expected the scene to be much more darker...

It was handled okay


Of course considering MAL goldfishes so far, I guess they should have been way more heavyhanded with that scene -__-

It's taken a while, but Durarara has really upped the stakes once again with this episode. Izaya's return is very much welcome and should make things all the more interesting, as should the return of Masaomi (even more so now that he knos what Mikado is up to and seems like he might be starting the Yellow Scarves again).

Things seem like they'll get all the more intense gonig forward. Here's hoping.

Fantastic episode. This season, up until now, has been extremely chill for Durarara's standards. It was only a matter of time before shit hit the fan in Ikebukuro, and of course, Izaya's at the helm. Can't contain all this hype.

Nice to finally see Mikado do something. Shame he got his ass kicked pretty bad before doing so. Aoba is definitely gonna try to cause some shit between Mikado and Masaomi.

As more and more 'powerful' figures are being given more screen time (Yodogiri in this ep), Izaya is starting to appear as less of the puppet master manipulating the entire thing and is going more down the route of just being plain old batshit crazy. And I'm not even mad.

Mikado more useful than Masaomi again, 10/10.

Whoa look at that group at the ending, Izaya will make Ikebukuro even more crazy than it is. Izaya really loves to mess with wasp nests isn't?

I loved this episode. Like wow, that was so good! So much happened! And so many things were animated that I was looking forward to! Mikado seeing Kida (including the revelation of Mikado's darker side to Kida) and lighting the stalker on fire was so great. And then Izaya talking to himself on the chatroom was so amusing (but poor guy, he seems so lonely and kind of vulnerable, which could just be the fujoshi in me talking). And yay for the return of Kanra-chan! I just love those two characters so much! Especially Izaya! XD

I'm glad that Mikado is getting information on his own to an extent and warned Celty about Shinra potentially being injured, so he could be brought to a hospital. And Izaya's appearances were to a satisfactory amount especially considering that episode 8 will likely focus on him. XD Not to mention, we see Mikado in his other jacket in the actual anime ! >.< I can't wait to see more of his darker side and development of it.

Who's who on the chat is still confusing... I have to look back on the comments that explain it to understand what's going on. >.< I would have liked to see Anri in action a bit. At least there was some communication between her and Kida as well as her and Akabayashi (so we know that she most likely invited him to the chatroom).



FYI, I haven't read the light novels. I just know from fishing around for information (AKA spoiling myself). I really hope they don't animate a certain Izaya scene though. And I really want Tsukumoya-san to play a part in the anime. It would be sad if they don't include such an interesting character. It would be a waste not to, I think.

I just realized that Izaya and Shizuo aren't shown together in the OP. Izaya comes before the recap (and brings it about through his phone) and Shizuo comes after. It's weird cause they're usually together in it.

Well, I'm sure there's stuff I'm forgetting, but whatever. Amazing episode. Can't wait for next week! (And the ED is officially stuck in my head. ^^;)

That moment when Mikado and Masaomi met ! *FEELS* and I love Mikado's smile even though it scares me!
Both Mikado and Shinra were beaten so bad!! and now not only Masaomi is on the move but Izaya is planing something, this is getting more and more exciting!
Maybe they didn't focus much on Celty this episode, but she's the one who got hurt the most, going back home and finding her lover in a blood bath, she can scream for help nor can she cry... well Celty is not the type that would ask for help anyway but it still is tough, it's about time she gets back her head..*remembers the last scene* Izaya that bastard, a head is not for playing around with!!

This episode was definitely the best one so far. I feel like the theme of this episode was the word finally. Mikado finally showed his true colors. Masaomi finally came back and started doing things again. Izaya finally decided to start up trouble again. The story in general finally picked up the pace. I can't wait for next episode. I kind of want to wait until the whole show is done and then binge watch it but I can't torture myself like that.

Wow, what an episode! Everyone's gathering their gangs for what could be an epic showdown. Mikado's Blue Squares, Kida's Yellow Scarves (maybe?), Izaya's "Dollars"... Things are about to get really interesting!

Heh, looks like Izaya's still a little sore about not being invited to the hot pot.

Calling it now: Shinra gets admitted to the hospital and everyone comes to visit. Izaya gets admitted to the hospital and no one notices.

I was really shocked to see Shinra in that state. I had to cover my mouth, even.

I think that, if I have to pick a character that I legitimately hate, it's gotta be Adabashi.

The other Saika was the Slasher in the first season, go rewatch it. I'm assuming the hammer guy is a new character.
