| Ugh, having 6 episodes left it's probably safe for me to say that i definitely preferred Baccano. This series has very interesting characters but the direction & story line aren't really doing it for me. Remarking on the art, I've been thinking this for a while now but I like how random people are colored gray. |
| Such junk... |
| Always liked Kadota and his group. |
| Izaya’s the flawless villain. I’m going to refrain from writing all the derogative adjectives I’m thinking of right now. After all my anticipation to watch Kida’s past, it sure didn’t disappoint. He was really cool, and went through such a hard time, I sympathize with him. Saki’s another addition to the considerable group of love-psycho girls DRRR!! The only one we can say it’s the more normal is Celty… And that shouldn’t be, seeing as she’s a Dullahan that lost her head. Dotachin and Yumasaki overflowed with awesomeness in this episode. Now that Anri discovered Kida’s the Yellow Scarves leader, how much time will it take for her and Mikado’s secret leak? And what will happen when they know it? Will the fight stop, or is Izaya going to pull the strings as he always does and create misunderstandings so they don’t? |
I think, then procrastinate. Therefore, I am. |
| ... So, Izaya's table must be fireproof, despite looking like it's made of wood. <_< (Ugh, Izaya's being the mastermind annoys me. Sadistic control freak...) madsin92 said: even after this, i cant bring myself to hate Izaya. he's just too much of a genius. Well, I can. DX Dotachin and his gang just got way more awesome, though. Well, at least I think they did. :D I knew they were awesome before, but yeah... They are even more so now. |
| Great episode, poor Kida and now Anri knows his secret |
 |
| oh, another great episode, i need more! |
| Great episode with some great development with Kida. Looks like Kida was a pretty notorious guy back then! However, it looks like Anri managed to figure out a bit about Kida that she wasn't aware of! It's getting pretty intense! Looking forward to the next! |
| Dota-chin and Yumasaki did some badass moves there. Psycho Otaku FTW!! Still don't know what is Izaya's motive but heck, he's awesome. :D |
| This episode was interesting :D it clarified some questions I had in mind... fukushi said: Yumasaki looked so natural splitting benzin in the car with his usual smile <3 lol true! I liked him in that scene. |
| becoming an anime hero step 1: find culprits and damsel in distress step 2: burn culprits step 3: ??? step 4: PROFIT!! Kagura89 said: Izaya is a total bastard but i can't hate him fully because he is too awesome.. i'm pretty sure thats how everyone feels, lol |
     |
| IZAYA YOU BASTARD!!! though he is still awesome in his own bastard way I feel sad for what happened to that girl and Kida they looked quite good together :( |
 |
| Izaya is such a meanie head! I AM SO DEVASTATED THAT THERE'S ONLY LIKE 7 MORE EPS TO WATCH! D: WAHHH. even though at first i didn't really like this series i've grown to really love it. and i really hope a 2nd season gets made eventually. ;D at least i can always watch a rerun here and there on adult swim. (; sigh, i shalll take my time with thwe next few episodes like i have the entire series but that doesn't mean i haven't throughlyenjoyed dah ride! (; |
| LETS BE REAL PEOPLE EVERY ONE HAS A CHOICE AND KIDA CHOSE THAT LIFE .WAS HE JUST PLAYING GANSTER.OF COURSE THAT WOULD OF HAPPEN HIS GIRLFRIEND BEING KIDNAPPED.HE SHOULD OF KNOWN .GANGS ARE NOT A GAME DONT PLAY IF YOU DONT KNOW THE RULES.HE JUST STOOD THERE AND DID NOT HELP .DEPENDING ON IZAYA.ITS YOUR GANG IF YOU HIT THEM THEY WOULD HIT YOU BACK.I LOVE IZAYA WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET THATS HOW HE ROLLS.BUT IT WAS SAD WHEN HE DID NOT ANSWER HIS PHONE I WAS LIKE YOU BASTARD I LOVE YOU |

| So Walker's plan to become an anime hero actually worked (since he and Dotachin were the heroes of that episode)--flaming Molotov cocktail inside a van, what a concept! Just a few episodes left and so many important things to resolve. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| One of the best episodes of the series for me so far, for some reason Kida's story interests me the most and next arc is looking to be the best of the series. |
| Pretty nice background info on Kida. |
 |
| Awesome back story episode. Everything seems to be fitting quite well. |
| Good episode, loved the background story on Masaomi. =p |
 |
| Lol @ Walker setting the van on fire. Crazy bastard! xD And speaking of bastards, Izaya is quite a magnificent one, isn't he? |
| Izaya is probably the biggest jerkass in all of anime history. And that is why we love him. |
| A rather more interesting episode getting some backstory on that girl in the hospital and why he was with the yellow gang. |
 |
| Wow, things definitely turned more serious over the past few episodes... Masaomi's back story was really interesting, even more so than Anri's. I think it's because the whole tragic-family-past is a little on the unoriginal side (even though in Anri's situation it's not that bad). The whole guilt-trip with his ex-girlfriend is messed up though. We don't know how long ago it happened exactly, but at some point he has got to come to terms with the fact that it's normal to be scared when you're in middle school. Sometimes I think animes over-dramatize things, but I love them anyway! |
 |
| Masaomi's past was handled quite well. And now I have mixed feelings about Izaya. Although it was to be expected - he never takes sides, and his character would become dull if he were to lend his aid to a single party only. Good stuff. 5/5 |
| All I can say is ... awesomeness ! |
 |
| Some pretty nice character development occurred in this episode. This is more like the quality of the first arc, and I'm loving it. |
 |
| That scene where Izaya sets the board on fire.. He's established his true madness, and that just makes me love him even more. And finally, Kida's backstory is revealed. I think it's the most interesting one so far. |
| Wow, Izaya really? Burning those table, pawns, and cards inside your flat? Ok all about Masaomi's past and I know why he hated Izaya.. Also that Dota-chin, he's so cool... That is what he's doing I called justice.. From now on he's Poey the poet XD |
"Signature removed"   |
| some insight on kida and the yellow scarves baccano ref spotted! oh my god the sound of saki's bone breaking shocked me holy crap fucking izaya omfg kadota, your as great as ever ok so anri has found out it really cool that each friend is a leader of their own gang |
| The collision course is set, now the only question is will Izaya fall. |
 |
| Izaya and how he burned that chess board. I should probably hate him, but I love Kamiya Hiroshi's voice too much XD Izaya indeed is a bastard, nevertheless, he is really capable of manipulating people and doing whatever he wants. Best part is, he pretty much does it all with a smile on his face. Hm, about Kida's backstory, I actually didn't find it that interesting. He did kind of bring it upon himself. Making a gang and have gang fights would obviously escalate. But I guess he didn't realize it. Still, it must've been traumatizing to have heard his girlfriend's scream on the phone, when he could do nothing about it. Best part of the episode was how awesome Yumacchi was burning that van to save Saki. I laughed when the Blue Square members were like, "he's creepy." So true. Yumacchi is a pretty casual guy, but I guess when he gets serious, he can do crazy things :o You can always count on Dotachin and his group to come and save the day :D |
| So Anri's found out about Kida! :O |
 |
| Kida's a really good and well developed character unlike Anri and Mikado. His situation and position are much understandable and relatable. I'm certain now that Izaya must be the Devil or at least a demonic presence of some sort. He's truly evil. I hope that before this series is over that Shizuo connects a punch on him. Dotachin and his group are the most efficient and badass humans in this anime. |

Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Aw Kida's past... so he was a part of a big gang but joined back so he could protect anri from the slasher. but little does he know that anri has already taken care of the slasher! but it's too late, considering that she has found out that Kida is a gang leader. I wonder what's gonna happen to their friendship. Also, why is his ex still in the hospital if she's awake from her coma? |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Kida's story, finally! Dotachin is probably my favorite of the series. |
| Finally an episode that enlightens us on something important. I feel for Kida. But what was Anri doing there? Fucking Izaya. The Dollars quartet rules as always. |
  |
| Man, it was so brutal when they broke her legs. Kida really just thought that the whole "Gang" thing was just a game, he had to experience quite a shocking thing for him to realize; poor kid. |

| wow wow wow.. close to the end.. this show just getting the shit going to be awesome :3 kida has a girlfriend? and holy shit so he really part of yellow scarf? God it is gonna be really awesome! XD |
| When it started I didn't know where this is all going but its pretty emotional that it includes all of the group of friends who in one reality seem so innocent but on the other hand are leaders of small gangs. |
| We got some great backstory this episode and now Anri know's his secret. |
| So all the question I had in my last post got answered, everything is linked now. Anri know Kida secret, I wonder if she'll tell Mikado one day. Izaya is really manipulating everyone. Where is coming Saki fascination for Izaya? I mean, he's really awesome and persuasive, but to kill yourself because he say so... Dotachin awesome as always. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| What a brutal episode! So many feels. Some men just want to watch the world burn, don't they Izaya you Joker bastard! That shit ain't funny! Can't wait to see him get his! I love how everything comes together, really hope we get more animes from this writer! Loved Baccano! too! |
