Man if Anri died right there, this show might actually get good. She fucking deserves that shit for being a retarded little girl.

could you please explain how Anri in any way acts retarded? It sounds to me like personal bias.

I see they changed the voices in the online chatting to match their respective characters. So just to clarify: Blue - Mikado; Orange - Izaya; Grey - Celty

I don't think Izaya has anything to do with the Slasher, but he's certainly being pretty suspicious by how "normal" he's acting this episode.

And I wonder if Anri actually has anything to do with the Slasher or if it's that other girl we saw before... or both somehow.

 Before watching the episode I was like:
 «Will I like the new OP? Oh god, I hope I like it as the previous one! How will it be?
 After watching the OP:
 «Ohh ok ok. So it doesn't have the same style as Baccano! and the previous Durarara!! OP of presenting the character nam- Ok, they do present the character names.»
 It's more gloomy, more serious, more melodic if you will. Another tone, another shade of color. I do like it still. I also like the fact that the names are using the alphabet now so I can read them xD
 There are also characters returning which I expected to go away as Seiji, Namie and Mika, but there will continue. I'm not against it but it's just that I expected otherwise.

 Seiji's and Mika's love is so twisted, so toxic, so harming...
 I leave those to with it but it's not the most pleasing thing to see. I mean, I try to react to them as I would if they were in real life. Anyway, that's not the main subject, is it? Moving on.

 So much happened in this episode. It was charged!
 I now see how the OP song and tone reflect what we are going to face from now on.

  • I want a friend like Kida xD

  • Ohhh lucky Anri, having to guys fighting over her jaja

  • Oh no... it's the perverted teacher again =_=*

  • OMG CELTY GOT BULLIED BY THE POLICE!

  • Show your weakness in bed!? Shinra!? Celty!? Are they... are they already... WOW! Nice one Shinra! =D you are a national hero!

  • Shinra's father is a rather eccentric character xD

  • Add "Police" to the list of things Celty is afraid off xD so cute when she's terrified by something silly.

  • Mikado and Anri are so awkward together... they are so freaking cute! ---- Wait what!? She is into.. Mi-Mika!? Ok... talk about a plot twist...

PD: More evident than ever that Anri is a very broken girl =( poor creature.

So what did the girls mean when they said Anri was selling her body? Is this just a case of rumors spreading among teenage girls? Or, does Anri have a sordid past?

Lmao shinra "if you would only show me that vulnerability in bed" ....
Poor Celty got stressed out by the police . I mean a hord of bikes and 10 vehicles chasing you, shit that is really distressing ... Especially when you consider celty's tactics didn't work so for the first time she felt like she was the prey . Bastard cop over-pursuing her.

Hiroshi Kamiya's Russian accent is oh my god soooo adorable. I can't I can't. And holy crap they changed the OP and ED. Whhhyy? Hahaha! That part with Anri and when the Slasher started slashing those three girls was straight up fucked up. And poor Celty, she's so cute when she's scared. Hihihi! ;3

liking the new op, although it seems most people here don't like it. also liked how they changed the voices of the online personas to match the real life people we know of, makes it easier to recognize who is who now.

old OP and ED was way better, and they changed the chat voices too huh

don't like what they're implying about Anri and "selling her body", considering theres a teacher creeping on her. Sounds like a hentai scenario

and I'm almost 90% sure of who the slasher is since I'm already aware of another character that hasn't appeared much at all

either way I am loving this show so far. Such a great diverse cast

I have to admit that I like the new opening more than the first despite how much I love singing along with it probably because this was less loud and somewhat more melodic, I think. The ED's pretty good too but it'll take a short while to get over Trust Me's catchy tunes.

It's very satisfying to finally know exactly who the people in the chatrooms are and hearing their voices instead of the usual narrator of the week. Celty showing her intense fear of pesky traffic cops was so adorable ♡

The Slasher's made a reappearance and even showed Anri the time of her life by slashing those ugly gyaru JK bullies. If Mikado was there, he would've pulled her away before all of that even started~

Celty was cute this episode, didn't think she'd be scared that easily. Anri seems to confuse being a parasite with being friends, depending on others is not necessarily a bad thing.

I know I'm about 11 years late with this, but since I'm rewatching it with attention to details and I'm a russian native I cannot help but comment on the dialogue between Izaya and Simon.

I might be wrong, but taking into account their exchange in the last episode of the first season, Simon is not taking about particular events that are coming later, he's not that invested in secrets of Ikebukoro (he has a general idea, but doesn't interfere much). He's talking about Izaya himself. Since he is inclined to do it every chance he gets, talking with Izaya.

He tells him a proverb that literally means "you cannot hide on awl in a bag/sack", which, by taking into account that awl is sharp and will cut through, means "you cannot hide the obvious secret", "truth will come out".
And Izaya replies "they don't talk about the rope in a hangman's house", which means "it's impolite to openly state the obvious that is a sore topic".
I cannot guarantee that Japanese creators understood the meanings of the proverbs perfectly, but from other instances in Russian through the series– they never make any mistakes, so it's safe to assume thet knew what they were doing here.

In retrospect, knowing what happens later in the series all the way to the Final Curtain, it's a subtle hint at understanding the truth behind Izaya like few other scenes give a chance to, the things Shinra will state in a more straightforward way near the ending.
He's basically telling him he's very obvious at what he's hiding, his true character.
And Izaya admits it and just says it's so obvious and so hurting that it's better left unsaid.

While very few people understand Izaya, it kind of shows that the most important players, Shizuo excluded, but you can definitely include Shinra (which by extension kind of means Celty, she probably doesn't understand it herself, but reads the conclusion off Shinra) and probably include Kadota who suspects, get his true character and that's why Izaya wasn't chased from Ikebukoro by the people capable of doing it— they know the truth behind him, know that he is incapable of admitting it, and kind of hope that maybe he grows up to face it one day.
It's so subtle and brilliant, I love Durarara.

An interesting new character that Celty dealt with. Curious about what's between the cook and the evil mastermind. What is part of Kida's past? Finally, we see somewhat impactful actions being taken upon relatively relevant characters. Excited about this new arc and what is has in store.
