ahh it's so good to see all of my children again!! (人'▽')~♥
here we go with my review!~
first of all, how interesting that the series is choosing to recognize the victims of Izaya's little "suicide game" he likes to play, and to give them such developed identities- i like it a lot!
i also am wondering the degree of emphasis mikado's character is going to be receiving this season in regards to his dynamic role in the new OP. Even though at the start of DRRR!! he was introduced as a sort of "main protagonist", his position has only really began to take influence on the main conflict (in reference to his title as "leader of the dollars/blue scarves/what even was that stabbing scene w/ aoba") I am very excited as to where the writers will take his character~
on the subject of new new OP, am i the only one his is just the tiniest bit upset the shizuo and izaya are not introduced within the same sequence? no, just me?? (lonely shizaya shipper cRYING) the ending really had be worried that there wouldn't be a sort of banner with all the characters until i saw the top of mikado's face and i think i literally screamed "OH THANK GOD"
anyway, final consensus being that this episode is the introduction of a promising second part to the DRRR!! anime, and i can't wait to see how the story unfolds~

Finally! I missed Durarara so much. I see Izaya is doing more then fine (kinda sad he doesn't have anyone to visit him, but...eh, it's his fault). New OP and ED are nice but as the time goes we'll adapt to them. This episode kind of felt like the 2. episode of the first season, at any case it's a good start. From those few seconds where Yagiri's sister is throwing scissors and somebody throwing bombs, I can tell this cours will be very interesting.
And yes, how Anri and Akabayashi now each other?
Noir… It is the name of an ancient fate. Two sisters who watch anime. The peace of the newly born, their black hands protect.

To echo most people in this thread, the OP and ED were forgettable. The character models are slightly better than last season, but they still stand out as sub-par compared to the rather vibrant and well done environments and backgrounds of the city.

Regardless of that visual complaint, I still love Durarara and hope this season will follow up on everything Shou set up; I really want the overall story of S2 to surpass S1 if possible.

Classic Izaya as always. His speech towards the girl during the hospital scene was awesome. That phone call with Shinra was hilarious also xD

I actually liked the ED better than the OP for both the visuals and the song. Although I was impressed that the singer of the OP was Mikado's VA (Toshiyuki Toyonaga). Damnnn he sounds so different

Overall glad to see Durarara!! is back and I can't wait to see what will happen next

I love how no one cares about Izaya, he's so childish for this prank though.
The ED was meh, the OP is way better although the last one was a bit better.

Durarara is back! Wooo!!!
The previous OP's and ED's were better than these ones but if I had to choose then I'd choose the OP.
Izaya trolling people in the first episode already.
This is going to be awesome!

Nice OP/ED.

Nice start tho. Izaya still trolling like usually lol.

Just noticed I remember reading the scene where Izaya met those 2 girls in the manga adaptation so nice to see that animated.

The OP song is alright, but I am liking the ED song a bit more.
Nice to see everyone again.
Lol Shinra hanging up after hearing from Orihara that he got stabbed.

Jeez, that Izaya! 10/10 It was such a splendid performance Kamiya-sama~!

The previous season seriously lacked this guy, hope we will see more of him now, instead of his sisters, ugh. I loved how unpatiently was he awaiting some kind of assassination, but (almost) nobody cared for him :D Also, his love for humans and pure enjoyment are just as huge as always :3 Can't despise this guy.

Opening was rather meeh, "Headhunt" was much better. But I really like how they show Mikado through the entire intro, and yet he gets introduced only at the very end. Naisu!

This show never ceases to entertain, even following characters during a "peaceful" day, I hope this cour really lets us get a good look at the more fucked up side of mikado we saw introduced last season

The opening made me wonder if Mikado is going to go to the dark side soon.

I loved this episode, it had a little bit of the DRRR magic I felt was missing from the last episodes.

This already seems much more promising than Shou, especially if it really does properly explore Izaya as this episode seems to indicate. As ever though, I do wonder what will happen that will tie all these different characters together once again. It ought to be interesting to find out if the track record of this series is anything to go by.

That was really good.
The greatest troll just stole this episode.

Izaya in hospital? Nobody cares!
So it's time to prank Shinra.
Who it is? Who it is? Who are you? Ah, just some girl, that wanted to commit suicide in past.
And in the end we have another confession of love from Izaya to humans.

Heh. It was awesome seeing Minami in action. X3 Not sure about her re-design.
The ambush scene wasn't quite like the LN but I'll deal with it.

Episode was decent. Got to see Mikage's and (probably) Eijirou's characters in the ED credits.

Durarara's op went to downhill.
FS OP1>FS OP2>SS OP1>SS OP2.
It's not bad, actually. Just first seasons OP is more impressive. (For me, of course. Anyone can think about personal best OP in Durarara.)

Seeing Durarara again is refreshing ... But I must admit I'm kind of lost!
Does someone know where I could find some kind of summary for the all second season (and maybe the first one too) cause I don't always remember people, very important people ahah.

Anyway, OP is fine but I prefer the ED this time

Returning back to Ikebukuro once again feels great.

Great to see Izaya again because of the lack of him last cours. Everything from his prank call to his speech was perfect. Expecting great things from him the following weeks.

Looking forward to next week!

The OP is quite fitting, especially for this season. And the ED visuals are lovely, as to be expected.

Adaptation wise things are looking wonderful so far. Ah, it's so great to have DRRR back. Things are going to get extremely intense this season.

Glad Drrr is back, this season is safed.
OP and ED are good but cant compare to the others.
Glad Izaya is still his usual self suprising though he takes getting stabbed so easy and just feels bored.
Still strange that no one really cared that he got stabbed I mean people like Kido or Shizou at least should be like yay, that bastard deserves it but ok.
So next episode is stalker sis vs stalker gf looking forward.

They did not even notice it(Shinra's reaction shows it best).

Shizuo was too busy throwing people through walls to pay attention to news, Masaomi was too busy wallowing about his situation, etc.

The whole point was that everyone was too busy with their own lives and things to even pay attention to whatever happened to Izaya. The only one who actually did was a random human Izaya did not even remember.
