I agree.

Good to see that someone agrees with me, I seem to have a more negative view of this anime than most episode comments. Don't get your hopes up for better romances in the sequels though, so far no luck haha


That's disappointing, I hoped the creator was showing a parallel between Senji and Shinra. That they are both selfish, controlling, and don't care about hurting people. That neither loves Celty. I thought the writers were clever by contrasting Shinji's coldness with Shinra's quirkiness while still showing the audience how similar they are. Sad to know that's not the case.

I'm enjoying the twists, but hating the twisted romances.

TRASH

Celty's head actually being the stalker chick was a shocking revelation. And Izaya mocking Seiji for not even knowing the difference was hilarious. So to be fair, I liked that part.

But the stalker chick and Seiji are BOTH still weird af, and I don't enjoy that aspect of the show at all.

And to make things exponentially worse, Celty confronted the a-hole doctor and still claims to love him after he admitted everything? Grow a pair of BALLS, Celty, and leave that piece of crap!

Then we realize that Izaya is just a different type of sick, twisted weirdo playing around with Celty's head and manipulating everyone behind the scenes. Making me dislike a character I just began to like. Oh goodie.

Even Mikado is starting to give off weird vibes now. Is Masaomi really the only normal character left? Probably not. There's still that hospital girl he seldom visits that's probably another weird relationship.

I hated this episode so much that I'm debating whether I should drop the show altogether. The one storyline that actually interested me - Celty looking for her head - is now, at best, put on hold because she's content playing housewife in her bogus relationship with the a-hole doctor. All these freakazoid relationships make for TERRIBLE tv. Nor do they appear to be going away anytime soon.

Yea, that settles it. DROPPED.

I give this show a 4 or 5/10. Prior to this episode I thought this show was somewhere between a 6 or 7/10, but that it still had some potential (eg, the Celty body and head encounter). I no longer have that hope. I don't understand Durarara's high rating at all, but more power to those of you who like it.

I agree with you both. The love interests are all twisted. They've made it impossible for me to like the show.

Oh man I really didn't like any of this. Could have done without the weird romances. But I guess that's just how the show is, really not for me.

Such a freaking weird romance for sure everyone is twisted.

that headless biker chick sure had a big bootea when she was hugging the doctor in the sofa

If the anime had ended after this episode 12, I wouldnt have had any complaints. Sure, the headless biker girl might miss her head,but i would have been fine.

I hope they dont milk it with new characters and new arcs

Wait, the stalker girl is still alive. I was trolled there lol while Celty's head is in Izaya's possession. Such a great twist.

And with this episode, the first half of Durarara! from Winter 2010 is over. My score so far is 8/10. AOTS.

They had us right from the start, it was Mika all along!!!
Izaya keeping Celty's head for now, interested to see what he's planning though.

If this wasn't a double cour, then this could've been a good spot to conclude.

"Let's have the fallen angel fly again", so he's gonna eventually give her back her head? For a price maybe?

And yes, the stalker romance is fucking weird lol, even Celty falling in love with the guy she knew since he was four. Enjoyable though.

That was one great first half, hope it maintains it's quality.

Interesting to see how Celty will influence the future of the anime. Enjoying the mystery behind everything. Cute little portion of Mikado and Kida. Finally, this anime is painted all over with twisted love. I hate it, but it keeps me guessing what's gonna happen next.

Wasn't expecting Izaya to be interested in the Dullahan.
Looks like Celty and Shinra have also made up.
Mikado looks like he might try something with Anri, if he gets the courage.

I don't really appreciate this kind of sick love that makes people harm other people, and ultimately themselves. In fact, I don't even think this is love no matter what anyone would say. This is a feverish passion, a self-consuming powerful emotion. It manifests like a centrifuge that ravages one's soul and is a forever unsatisfied desire. You cannot sooth it not even when you give it what it wants. It can make people overcome their own limits in unexpected ways, but this is not always a good thing. For instance, if our body is drowned in adrenaline, we can manifest like having superpowers. However, such a thing can destroy our body if it is a too intense or prolonged moment.

Now, I'm starting to really like this anime. I love the atmosphere.
I'm not a fan of the sick love trope though.

So it turns out Mika really was a crazy stalker... But why do I like her more now (❤ ω ❤)

So Shinra knew where Celty's head was this whole time, and decided to say nothing... Idk how to feel about him now to be completely honest. Ngl, I hate him. He hid Celty's head from her because he loves him? Because he couldn't bear the thought of Celty leaving? Wtf LOL and after all of that, Celty didn't throw him out the window. I think he deserved it. I actually fucking hate Shinra now. Instead of Celty throwing Shinra out the window or beating him to a pulp and leaving him after his bs, she instead falls for him and everything is forgiven... Omg I actually hate this now. A part of me doesn't even want to finish rewatching after this episode.

Kinda confusing at the last part with Izaya.
But to think Dollars head was the MC all along.
