| Man this was a real great watch, first time watching something thats a sequel of something I watched before using myanimelist. I love the similarities that this episode had with the first episode of the first season. The feel of this anime is still the same and I really dig that. Felt so nostalgic seeing all these characters again and hearing the uniquely awesome ost. Looking forward to watching this weekly, really enjoyable. I forgot how godly the cast is in this one ohoho lol at miyuki door |

| Great ep I loved it Perfect start to a new season of a show that is beloved to me. I love this show. I hope Kida and Shizou get more screen time then what they got in this ep. |

Kondo-Isao said: Just as boring as the first season. Why three more seasons tho. Three more seasons because it needed three more seasons. |
 |
| More new characters, and the OP doesnt have subbed names yet. Izaya already seems eager to stir shit up again.. |
~my list
| DURARARARARA HYPE!!! Well crap... I don't think I remember half of the characters from the OP to be honest... that's so sad... unless some are new XD... Poor Celty being chased around by that cop once again XD. That murderer sure is a weird one... Holy crap... they were talking about the anime/manga where Onii-sama is God Almighty... among other famous series XD... Sekushi Celty trying to seduce Shinra :3 and then his dad appears with his new mother... well stepmother XD... LOL, using 1 million yen to buy Shinra some new glasses and something to eat XD. Nice episode to start this 2nd season with. |
| "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." |
| Feel the need to rewatch season 1. Pretty much forgot half the whole season and this opening made me realise that with all the characters. I remember being so hyped about this series but I forgot what I was hyped for. The atmosphere for season 2 still seems the same so that's good. And what is with all the references. Did drrr get paid to advertise? and then the mahouka.... Still like season 1's OPs better but who knows, this one will probably eventually grown on me. |
| Finally~ The first episode was great! As expected from Durarara It's a little sad how Mikado is reminiscing his memories with Kida. Overall, I loved the episode. |
 |
| I'm more of a Baccano guy but I'm pleased to see this make a return. Mostly a reintroduction episode though, but I'll always love more Celty screentime. |
| I found it boring watching the first half but then I really got into it. The pinky cutting part was hilarious. XD 5/5 |

| *looks at the score* fucking overrated much. |

| Haha I never get tired of the references, especially since I now know most of them and can find them. All those LNs Erika and Yumacchi were talking about~ Hm as for the first episode itself, it's what I was expecting, I enjoy it a lot in a few scenes, and some other scenes I don't particularly care for. Overall still pretty fun though since we got to see all the characters again. |
| I don't have the Crunchyroll premium so I have not seen this. Will episode 1 be free once they release the other episodes? If not, is there anywhere else I can watch this? |

Get it from Nyaa and choose Horriblesubs, which is the release group for crunchyroll subs. there are usually better sub groups. Shawn_ said: Very disappointed. What a mess, just obnoxious with no narrative rhythm, inconstant animation and drowned in bad unfunny comedic elements. This is not what I was expecting or ever wanted from this of all sequels as a first episode having loved the first season... This is how I feel too. The pacing was SUPER jerky and event seem really... unrelated to each other. But its more or less the way the novel was written, and its just an introductinary episode, so stay tuned. |

| Godamnit, as usual, so much references XD Mahouka, Toaru Majitsu, Oreimo, SAO and Black Bullet were mentioned~ Basically some of the famous light novels. Heck, there's even Toradora, Majitsu Index and Shakugan no Shana novels at the van's trunk. I remembered they referenced Taiga from Toradora in season 1 |

|
| Such a great transition to season 2. I finished rewatching season 1 today and the way it flows into the premiere of S2 was just perfect. Durarara is back. |
 |
| YAY! It's back. Can't wait to see Shizuo in action. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| I've forgotten so much of what happened in the first season... not sure how I should go about refreshing myself on it... |
| Great Episode! btw, anyone knows the reference of the top left Novel in the trunk of the van? Is it Ro Kyu Bu? I only got Toradora, Shakugan, and Toaru from that scene... |
| Normal life doesn't fit in this wracking place called Ikebukuro. A nice way to introduced all the characters (Y) |
| Finally the second season of my favorite anime. It was great to see everyone again! Very fun first episode. The opening is damn good. Oh, and Celty <3 |
| Decent debut episode, though the animation quality is definitely lacking at parts. |

|
| as entertaining as ever. damn celty. i keep associating that voice with sinon now LOL. |
    |
| That was actually very freaking bad. I thought first episodes were supposed to stand out. New characters seem out of place. OP and ED were also disappointing. |

| that picture of miyuki on the van. hahaha love the otaku group! mahouka kouko no rettousei, to aru majutsu no index and oreimo! hahahahahaha and oh, how i missed celty and izayaaaaaaa! |
| i was expecting to see the chatroom on the first ep... >.< i miss kanra-chaaaaan! >~< hahaha |
| Haha tons of anime references and also interesting 1st episode just introducing new characters. |
| So happy the show is back Both OP and ED are awesome and the show retain its same style and feels Definitely my fav start of the season |
| Hope this is on par with season 1. I will definitely be watching this when it finishes it's run. Hope to god it gets dubbed! |
| Great first episode. I also thought the references to other anime and manga was pretty cool. |
| So much anime references... oh the good old Durarara is back! I am looking forward to what this season brings... and of course I am really interested to the girls who will be involved with the Heiwajima brothers, Akane and Ruri the most part. Looks like the Aoba guy and the Orihara twins will have a but more of a role soon. |

| I liked it but not loved it. Good to see all the crew again though : ) |
╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭ |
| My god that was amazing. Looking forward to more imoutos/twincest. Looking forward to more otaku talk and references. |
 |
| hype as fuck! while this was mainly a reintroduction like how little has changed...for now wonder what kind of craziness these new characters will add. references holy i watch the first season back when i wasn't watching to much anime but this time around i caught like all of them lol random samurai flamenco up on the big screen |
 |
| Oh how I have missed this. Poor Celty can't catch a break. |
| All hail the return of the most glorious show on earth! Great OP and ED's though don't think I like them as much as the originals, though thats often how it tends to work due to nostalgia. They'll grow on me I expect. Man! I forgot how heavy the references can be! Love it! |
| I say "I'm speechless" to tell you I want to say something though am not sure how... |
| Ah man, what a great day for Durarara!! It was so refreshing to see all the characters and the city again, and it felt just as new as it did 2 years ago... (In real life, though, it felt like everything was working against me trying to watch the episode. But I digress...) |
 |
| Miyuki!!!! Are they allowed to do this? |

| Jeez, I'll obviously have to rewatch season 1. I love this show (well, Durarara) and not recognizing so many characters was kind of embarrassing. Not much screen time for either Izaya or Shizuo but there's time :) A decent opening of the season. |
| I am going to wait to watch it until it finishes airing, then I will binge it. lol |
 |
| Yup everything is back, OP and ED songs, characters, the setting, and new bizarre stuff coming up in the city. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. Probably will take a while to remember all the characters when I see that OP song. |
