Omg I was considering watching this with the final episode next week, but I just couldn't help myself... I totally should have left it till next week, omg. T_T

The pacing still gets to me, even though I've never read the novels. And it gets a bit annoying when they are jumping between scenes just as things get good. Sometimes it's permissible, but most of the time it's just annoying.

But omg, the scene during the credits made me tear up. When Mikado broke down upon realising the kind of person he had become, I pretty much guessed that he would choose suicide as a way out. And when Masaomi told Mikado he would kill Izaya if Mikado really dies, man I could feel the tears in my eyes. The VAs were really great. TTwTT
Honestly though, I think Anri might make it in time to stop Mikado. Or even Celty, whom we haven't really seen much of lately.

Meanwhile... I don't get why everyone is freaking out over Mikado's craziness?? He has pretty much been crazy since the time he stuck the pen through Aoba's hand, and I was honestly waiting for him to get even crazier than he is now, lol.

To be honest, I'd really like to see Mikado getting killed. He's a bloody coward, selfish in his ways.
And yes, I think I fell in love with Shinra a bit more.
Can't wait for the final episode.

So the story is almost over... For me it doesn't really matter what happens afterwards. I don't think there will be some reveals or plot twists... Even if there are, they will not have the opportunity to be well explained...

There's one episode left so not much else to focus on and Mikado is one of the most interesting characters this season. His descent into madness has been fun to watch.

Nasujima has more potential to be interesting than all these mofos. If only they gave him actual screentime, even the novels gave him better treatment than this stale adaption. Hell, I'd argue without illustration the novels animate him better. Not even trying, Shuka. Are you not even trying? like they've completely paved over any mention of the fact, any telling of what happened to him. he was slashed by Kasane after being recruited for Yodogiri and was able to overcome her saika influence due to his crazy, how does that get so distilled or go unmentioned entirely in this adaption when it's literally supposed to be a supporting detail about the main antagonist of the last "arc" of sorts? It only makes people question what the hell is happening to an even worse degree... in that regard, I'll say that part of this adaption sucks. The novels does a more descriptive job explaining these things, and they're still pretty vague about it. Way to omit what I was looking forward to this entire time.

also if he does not take off that damn beard i am going to have an aneurysm

Am I the only one rooting for him actually killing himself? I feel it makes much more sense with the plot and would be unlike durarara to make a decision because of their fans.

D'aww Shinra was amazing this episode. I'd guess in the end he's my favorite character - after all these seasons I got this hunch of it lol. Even though for most of the show I was rooting for Ryugamine all the time, now I'm just kinda confused what's going on with him.

Still, what a great episode. I can't wait for the finale ;A;

There are 13 novels of Durarara. And anime adapted all of them. Next episode is the last. Unless you are talking about Durarara SH. But it revolves around 3 new characters.

Shinra really is a lady's man, huh? It's kind of random that Kujiragi is so into him, but ehh. Just found it funny, for the most part. I thought the kiss was only to get Celty riled up and jealous, but she actually does like him. lol

It seems like everyone forgot that Celty is also classified as a Valkryrie... in one of the previous episode, Izaya even mentioned that Valkyries are known for getting Warriors that died that proved themselves in battle... In one of the scenes, you can see that Celty is watching over Mikado... and then, in the end, Mikado is supposed to kill himself and said that he wishes for a world after he is dead... then... in my own opinion, wouldn't that be connected to how Celty is a Valkyrie? He would then be taken by Celty... although i don't know if Mikado will be revived or became an abberation as well...

Not amazingly, I imagine. As I've already stated, Ketsu suffers from adaptation distillation. They tried cramming two and a half novels into twelve episodes and thus skipped many important details and bounced around at a rate that even makes my attention deficit ass groan in irritation. 16-24 would've been a far better number, but it's clear that Shuka's funding is dismal based on their animation quality overall throughout the second season being highly inconsistent, so they likely wouldn't have been able to afford more than twelve episodes per cour as a budding studio that mostly consists of staff from Brains' Base. Although based on the credits it's clear they're doing a lot of outsourcing to South Korea as well as doing their own work, which is pretty standard for anime, but all the same Shuka's clearly compressing a show that should be much longer based on budget, what they can do, versus more what they want to actually do, I would say.

This was the best episode since the original season. Finally shit is happening, so fun to see all the characters converging. It took 60 episodes but Mikados character is finally getting interesting. Cant believe this 6 year ride is gonna end in a few days.

There's two things I need to say about this comment:
1. I doubt Mikado's going to die, he's the main character.
2. Masaomi never going get to kill Izaya, that's Shizuo's job...

Wow. I can't believe that Durarara!! is going to end tomorrow. The hype for this episode was awesome! Though there's one thing that has bothered me through the whole series.
What happened to Shizuo's bro and his girlfriend? The last thing that I remember from the series is that a stalker was chasing her and we found how she's not really human. It's like they just forgot those two existed....

I had no idea Mikado was that far gone, doing this to prove he isn't ordinary, but at least he avoided the threat of the Awakuzu.

This whole thing has been so incredible and it's all leading up to a finale for the history books! I'm really hoping the next episode is able to wrap everything up. I have my doubts though, too much going on.

Hoping Izaya walks away alive though. Also hoping Shizuo and Verona become a thing.

This English dub has blown my mind too! Especially Bryce Papenbrook's performance this episode, terrific stuff!

Great and Crazy episode. Finally Erika founded your friends,so funny meeting.Yamasaki Walker so funny.
So happy Erika to be safe. I love the final climax of the season of this anime.
I hope plan's of kasane fail,because i don't like her.
I scared think and see Mikado will shoot Kida masaomi.
The part of fight Shizuo vs Izaya very good and unusual fact this episode,because i think fight ended previous episode, I have much expected of definition of Shizuo vs Izaya and Kida vs Mikado.
I hope the dollars do not end, but do not know what I expect from final episode.

MIKADO WTF Why you do this!? I don't understand why he is doing all this, cleansing the Dollars, purging them, erasing them, pointing a gun to Masaomi... wtf!?

So Kasane was really into Shinra? But... how? why? since when? It just spurted out of nowhere...

WTF!?? MIKADOOOOO DON"T!!!

Run, Izaya. Shizuo's coming for you!

I can't believe Mikado pointed a gun at his best friend.

Izaya ending his fight with Shizuo at the heart of it all.

Shinra declined his chance of having a harem. It takes a real man to do that.

I'll be the one to accept your feelings, Kasane. I'll love you and hear you out even when I'm in my grave.

lol at Walker with another reference.

lol at the way Namie runs.

So glad Masaomi was beating the shit out of Mikado.

Can't believe Mikado shot Masaomi with that hand gun. Now he's going to commit suicide. You won't get off that easy.

This is it...the final episode of DRRR!! How will it all end? Find out on the next action packed episode of DRRR!! Z.
