xD I completely forgot about that. I really liked the episode it showed how some of the characters are trying to connect with one another. I had a suspicion that Mika's face was like Selty's. Looks like the next episode is going to be really good too.BTW I'm not really sure what to think of all those different kinds of sushi O.o

Good episode.
Needs more Shizzy, but then again, everything needs more Shizzy.
Also, I'd that Erika. Walker is one lucky bastard.

@DeathfireD: I would rather agreed with what you said. As you can see Izaya seems to be the one behind Dollars which is the reason why he knows pretty much what is going on in the city since he has a really large amount of connections AKA Dollars.

Exactly windy! Exactly! You can clearly see that when he deals with Yakuza in Shizuo's past episode.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

GEEZ, THIS SHOW IS SO INTENSELY AMAZING.
I had my suspicion that it was Celty's head all along, but whenever he said I still yelled. But who's head is in the capsule then? Oh and Celty was extremely cute in this episode, and Shinra's fortune cookie made me sad. :<

Amazing episode. I started to love Celty after her line in ep.2, and more episodes with her make me happy. :') But eh, the scar lines were pretty obvious, imo. But at least Celty's pretty; I hope she'll get that head back, but what about the other girl's head? o_o

Still suspicious about Kida though. I bet he turned badass mode when he left. Or something interesting/significant, I dunno... And poor Mikado, no word of thanks, and Shinra's fortune was saaaad :<

No. We don't think so. Since Selty's head was originally detached you can't cut it >_>

I'm betting that the doctor knows where her head is and isn't telling her because he thinks she'll leave him. this will of course backfire later, most likely just before he dies (though probably not at her hands)

also, it looks like her head's boyfriend was in on the decision to murder his stalker so she could have a body.

I'm just wondering...does anyone else think Durara is a mix of 3 anime: the animation style of Bakemonogatari (with the still images and weird shots for example), the storytelling style of Baccano! (with the revisiting of past events and the melange of interesting characters), and the focus on modern technology of Higashi no Eden? I thought this from the very first episode...

Next up on Jerry Springer: I fell in love with the body of an Irish Faerie but her head has been cheating on me with another man; it's Shinra!

On another note though, Walker and Erika's dance at the end was pretty cute.

I was surprised at who Celty's head was. I thought it was the head inside the jar, but it turned out to be the girl with Seiji. Now I wonder who's the head inside the jar? O_o

This anime is so freaking awesome! I love it! XD

I thought that this episode felt pretty melancholic. It wasn't as 'fun' as the previous episodes were, but of course, that didn't make it any worse. In fact, I actually really liked it. This episode just goes to show that the series isn't all random vending machine throwing, and other silly things, but that it's about connections, and the way everyone relates to each other. After all, Narita himself dubs it a 'twisted love story'.

I felt pretty sorry for Shinra all throughout this episode. It's clear that despite him being an underground doctor, he still has his morals in check, as shown when he was dealing with that guy in the treatment room. He genuinely wanted to eat the food that Celty made him, despite it probably being rather odd tasting. And then when the pair were in Simon's sushi restaurant, he probably only endured the bizarre looking/tasting food because Celty was there with him. That was so sweet of him. The fortune cookie he got broke my heart, but even more so because it's probably what Shinra believes himself, even when Celty said at the start of the episode that what she feels for him is probably love.

I'm guessing that Anri got all upset because she said something absentmindedly about her parents to Mikado. Knowing her past, it's no wonder, really. But she still could have shown Mikado a little bit of thanks. He went all the way to her apartment, in the dark, and she just shuts the door in his face?

Ah, Erika and Walker have a wonderful dynamic. I was really pleased when they found each other, and even started dancing. They really must care a lot for each other. Nice random shot of Mairu and Kururi, to. I liked how that foreigner was helping people looking for things they lost. A rather nice thing to do.

The Irish at the end was surprisingly accurate, but I lol'd at all the lush, colourful fields.

I guess if you knew more about Anri, and what she actually was (and is)...errm...involved in, let's say, it sort makes more sense.

I don't want to give spoilers, but I think it's already revealed in the light novel, though.

Unlike shaft, these guys can animate:P. If you really want to say that having the same style meanng being a mix of it, the animation style is very close to Yozakura Quartet.
...focus on modern technology? Wha?

And most people put this show on their to-watch list because the description started with "from the creators of baccano". Same style, but not exactly a copy since the characters are different. Admirable, if you ask me.

And there is some romance on this show, interesting.

Why is he working for Y.Pharmacy too? and I think he knew about Celty's head. And the business circling there too - Shinra.

That girl w/ Seiji has been bugging me esp. the scar on her neck but after he says her name was Celty that creeps me alot. From Seiji's sis working on YP and Shinra's connection it is quite a cliffhanger

Lol, maybe I should clarify the "focus on modern technology" part. I just meant that there's a focus on things like cell phones (which was prevalent in Higashi no Eden) - Celty always uses one to communicate for example, and it mentions online chatting/instant messaging which I think not a lot of anime do. I've also never watched Yozakura Quartet since it hasn't really caught my interest, so I wouldn't know about the animation being similar.

But yeah, the animation in Durarara is better than what shaft does; I just thought that it was a little similar. Like, for example, the characters might be talking but rather than focusing on their faces the camera will cut to surrounding scenery, and there is sometimes odd camera angles.

Mmm my favourite episode so far, I think.

I expected Celty to have long hair, because, I dunno, women rarely had short hair in the past. But of course, she could have cut it. Anyway, her head came as a surprise because Celty seems older than Harima and I figured her head would look older in age.

Wow, fantastic episode. As usual, the writing is beyond fantastic and the characters are exceptional. I've always wondered what was up with the girl with Seiji and right after I thought that, it was confirmed that she has Celty's head. That's going to be an interesting turn of events.

Alright, this is what I've speculated so far:
Celty is missing her head, which is the one on the girl's body that's with Seiji.
That said girl's body is the body of the Anri's missing friend, and the head that in the container is the missing friend's head.
But how Seiji knows Celty is what i want to know.

So we finally got confirmation in the most obvious fact –in my opinion–; the scar girl has Celty’s head attached to her body, and her head (Harima Mika’s, supposedly) is on that container at Yagiri Pharmaceuticals.

Shinra and Celty are so cute~ “Unrequited love” oh, poor guy. He really loves Celty, even if he doesn’t want her to find her head.

Anri, why so bitchy? She must have her reasons but I can’t help feeling bad for Mikado.

I loved the american girl with the “Lost things” pad. It was a nice detail.

Wow, Shinra really knows Celty well... :) But I wonder if he's going to be okay. Looks like he's in a dangerous situation, with his job the way it is and all...

Celty's head is reveeeealed~ I wonder how you can just stick it on another body and have it work. And whose headless body was it stuck onto?

And... I wonder who's behind the 'bad things' happening to Anri? And who Kida went after? And Mikado's so nice, searching right to the end for Anri's shoes... :\

Now we're really getting into the just of it. We've unraveled (or hinted) who Celty really is! I really feel like this entire series is like a chopped up movie style type of anime. Oh well, it's still amazing! Looking forward to the next!
