So, in the Jack-o-Lantern office we have a poster of Isaac and Miria from Baccano, and a BOA Juice commercial from Flying Phantom Ship.
Is there anything else? That purple mouse seems familiar, but I'm not sure.

I don't like Celty's new neck smoke. In the first season, it was a feature of her character that Shinra was basically the only person who could read her emotions, and sometimes even he couldn't (see episode 13, where, after being intimidated by the police, Celty goes to hug Shinra, but only when she starts shaking does he realise that she's crying). It made her an interesting unintentional emotionless girl, despite the fact that we knew that she is particularly emotional. But now, if she's surprised, great plumes of smoke come out of her neck and knock off her helmet. See the PV also, where it forms a love-heart.

Other than that, it seemed to be a good episode. I can get used to Izaya's new face; he's still Izaya! The plot seems to start next episode, with Shizuo fighting some zombie thingy.

Weee, I was looking forward this so long. It was great, just what I wanted. It really felt like if the first season ended just recently. I'm curious about what's going to happen next and I can't wait to see new characters in action.

The only thing that disappointed me is that everybody looks pretty much the same, just Izaya got new character design. I liked the old one much better -sigh- He looks like teenager now...


Yeah.. Izaya's face in the OP, and everyone's in general, looked weird.

What happened to the badass Izaya with the moon radiating behind him!?

Did they change Yuki Kaji as Walter's seiyuu? It seems that it is not Kaji's voice.

Really strong start for to a sequel of a great series! Everything's just what I remembered from the 1st season. The atmosphere, the wackiness, everything! And I am really curious on how they will handle so many more characters than the 1st season.

Now that you mention it, Celty does appeared to be more expressive than cool like the 1st season. Maybe that's her character development? Whatever it is, I do not mind(though I do prefer the cool Celty).

It's been a running joke between me and my Skype friends that the shows I love will never get a second season. Deadman Wonderland, Highschool of the Dead (it's a guilty pleasure) and Watamote are a few example but I'm so glad to say that I finally got a second season to my favorite anime of all time. This was a great start to the season. I haven't had the chance to read the LN's yet so I have no idea where this season will go and I love it. The Opening and ending songs were great and it's the first time in the series that I like the ending theme more than the opening. OMG, IM SO EXCITED FOR THE REST OF THIS SEASON!!

Ah yes, that was a great way to return to Ikebukuro after a long while. It feels like you're part of it right from the start :D All the great characters and their quirks.

This happened in season 1 too, though. Shingen's first episode had both a smoke heart and Shinra's place almost being flooded with smoke when Celty got agitated.

The expressive smoke is cute for more comedic scenes, which is probably what it'll be used for.

Wow, I like how everything feels very original to the first season of the show. It feels like the first season ended yesterday now because this season feels pretty much the same. I'm pretty excited to see what happens next.

What a damn fantastic first episode. I've never felt this happy to get a sequel to a show I liked before. This episode brought the nostalgia train into good-feels station for me. Especially the damn OP and ED, oh the memories. And how awesome was that classical sound track, just fantastic and keeping true to the first series in that sense. I absolutely can't wait to see what comes next!

I always thought the first 10-13 episodes were the best part of the series.

Of course you would, we barely agree/or have similar tastes regarding a lot of anime lol.

I remember it taking me more than 3 months to finish those first 10-12 episodes but only 2 days to marathon the rest. I really didn't like the headless rider/dulan story, I thought it was really dull, and I don't particularly like Celty. Shizou was the only interesting thing for me in those episodes. It only began getting better during the end of the first arc, with the revelation that Mikado is the one who created Dollars, which blew me away, since it was so unexpected.

Reading general comments about the series, your opinion is probably in the majority, though I did see people saying they dropped it early, idk.

Brilliant first episode, as others have already stated. Really wish Anri gets more screen time this season. Celty and the bishonen steal way too much of the spotlight... Still wating for an Anri figure.

It was much subtler in the first season, though, and noticeable only rarely. In the first episode of x2, she seems to react to everything with much more solid-seeming smoke. It seems more comical, as you imply.

I would have been fine with that, but one of the scenes is from seconds after the end of the first season.

What a freaking pointless introduction episode. New characters look dumb and plot is still a mess. OP and ED are mediocre and even the animation could be a hundred times better.
