Lol I laughed so hard when I saw Izaya getting beaten up!!
Okay, it's now official, and confirmed. Izaya will get beaten up in every season! MWAHAHAA!! Can't wait to see him get beat up next season :P

Also, I'm really liking Mikado's development. Those eyes when he talked to Celty was nasty. Nasty in a good way!

Mikado is becoming Izaya No. 2.

Maybe this has been mentioned this ages ago idk, but I only just realised that the 'shou', 'ten', and 'ketsu' used for the second season cours are actually corresponding to the basic layout of narrative/argument in Japanese. 'Shou' being the establishing of the setting, 'ten' being where changes are introduced and developed, and 'ketsu' being the conclusion. Season 1 would have been 'ki', the introduction. I think it very much makes sense, given S2 events...

Anyway, eagerly awaiting the next season...

It was an alright end to the season. It's clearly a built for the final season where everything should tie together.

This season had me liking Akabayashi and Vorona who grew on me as the episodes went by.

A great ending, and ONCE again, Izaya gets his arse kicked lol. Well, I also liked the ending to this cour as well. 7/10 for this, same as first cour.

Mikado and Masaomi's twisted desire to save eachother is both sick and incredible. Mikado is such an interesting character I look forward to every time he's on screen!

I would like some more Mikado/Izaya interaction next series though. I think they'd make a pretty twisted and dangerous team.

Overall this was better than Shou. Despite clearly being a build up I like how they tied it all together and we also got to see some interesting sides of the characters, especially Mikado

The animation still wasn't the best but it had definitely improved since the first cour

8/10

Can't wait for the last season

Damn another awesome season. I remember I enjouyed the very first one years ago but the latest too were damn awesome. I can't wait till all the characters go BOOM. Favorite part of his season was Izaya getting stabbed. I seriously didn't expect this. I didn't expect the finale either. I wonder if he is finally done for.... What I REALLY wanna see is Celtys revenge on the dude that hurt Shinra. I'm soooo sure that although nothing been mentioned till now she hasn't forgot about it. That guy is gonna get REKTED one way or another. Next season please <3

A cliffhanger ending just like I expected, a lot of things happened this episode though with Mikado VS Kida officially starting, Varona attacking Izaya, Izaya getting captured, the appearance of a third Saika and finally the animators insistence to draw Shinra’s fingers like that.


I enjoyed the first season more than this one tbh but overall it was really good and I can’t wait for the final cour in Winter 2016, hopefully Celty will get her head back!!

So mikado has basically gone full izaya at this point, looks like the protagonist wound up becoming the antagonist

Izaya is becoming Yamcha, gdi. He was cool at first, but is slowly fucking up more, and more.

Still one of my faves, though.


Anyway, that Mikado and Celty convo had me on edge.

Dollars VS. Yellow Scarves; fuck yeah, m8.

Ok, how has the world evolved. I mean, i just took a look back at the 1st Episode of Durarara s1 and i notice that so much has changed.

I mean, its common in a normal supernatural anime to see this i.e. MC was weak in 1st ep and he has many powers now / stronger. But in an anime like where there are literally no 'powerups' / special moves, Things to change so much is a good sign.

I guess, this is wat u'd call 'Real character development' :P.

I was amazed how much more we actually know abt the characters now compared to back then.

I didn't enjoy this part as I did in the first season

Mostly, it was boring for me and I even had difficulty to get the point sometimes.

I'm not sure whether to watch the third cour or not.

The first season was much better imo, i am one of those people who remains baffled by Mikado's development, can't complain about most of the anime though. 7.

Hahahaha! Izaya got 1-upped again at the end of the season. I kind of saw it coming, but I didn't expect it to involve another Saika mother.... Speaking of which, are all these mothers liked to one single Saika, or are they all daughters of the real mother owned by Anri? That is, if that is still considered the 'real' Saika.

Mikado is so sinister now, and I think that's a much more interesting character development compared to his season 1 counterpart. His conversation with Celty gave me chills. I wonder how far he will go to cleanse Dollars? I want to see how he and Kida confront each other next season.

I had a feeling that "Yodogiri Jinnai" was just a term used for a group of people after people pointed out that the Yodogiri Jinnai's seen in previous episodes looked totally different. I just didn't realise there were so many and they are all expendable. Izaya's retaliation was so brutal. lol.

I'm so hyped for the next season!

Damn. Another cliffhanger. And it's about Izaya again. Of course. I hope he's okay. The wait is going to be excruciating though. I want him to be okay, but well... I'm not sure if I don't think I can expect a good ending for him even though he's my favorite. So how is Namie fine? That confused me a bit. Was it just a trap for Izaya to get caught in? Hmm... Well, no matter. Back to fanfiction it is.

I did like this better than Shou. More interesting development in it. Looking forward to Ketsu. Like a lot. But I also don't want this to end. I'll miss the ED of this part a lot though. I'm definitely looking forward to some good Mikado development. I always thought that Mikado seemed like the Izaya type character. And if he were to actually learn how to fight, I feel like he would probably pick up a similar style to Izaya's. Kida isn't that much like Shizuo, but for the sake of comparison he is vaguely so, if barely.

And yeah, I'd say that Izaya getting screwed in the end is a norm at this point. As saddening as that is for me. Again, need fanfiction to see some nice Shizaya. Probably some fluff right now.

I really loved this season..
in the beginning it was incomprehensible, but in the last three episodes began to clear everything gradually. Some of the characters were really impressive in the story. For me deserving 10/10..

Ahh, now to wait for the next season in 2016. >.<"

I guess the scene we're shown at Shinra's apartment is not a scene from the beginning of the next cours, but rather from 2-3 episodes in, at minimum. And the guy in a costume and hat, was it Shizuo?

I expected that this season would be better than Shou, but i think this show is losing the focus. I thought they were show more mikado - kida - anri and explain what Izaya will do with celty's head. But they focused in the development of a lot of secondary characters like vorona (which is one of the least interesting characters in durarara).

I honestly think that there are way too many unnecessary characters in this season. Hopefully, the head will be a more important part of the story in next season.
