| @dizzyur I read your explanations, and yes I do think you're crazy (And honestly, potentially dangerous with your kind of thought process), but that's besides the point. I'm only calling you out on your hate because your rant was ridiculous. You know Nisujima is scum, you know he's not redeemable, yet you think he didn't deserve the ending he got. Whatever you say, writing headcanons doesn't change the actual canon no matter how much you want it to. |
 |
I know! I was like, "He's going to ask Shizuo to throw him!" and of course, it was amazing. |
| I have to say that I was a bit disappointed in Shizuo vs Izaya fight and Celty's arrival scene, they way they animated it was a bit anti-climatic (it was more intense when I read the novels honestly) and they could've it animate it better but tight budget I suppose? Other than that, some scenes are pretty satisfying to see. I teared up a bit during the ending when all the Raira Trio are reunited T^T Nice to see how the other characters are doing as well, except Chikage.... Overall it was one hell of a ride for Durarara, Shuka actually did a good job adapting this despite all the animation bumps or some scenes they cutted out. I understand that they're still a new studio and don't really have much budget and I'm really grateful towards them for fully adapting the Durarara novels. Till next time Durarara! (time to rewatch all the episodes starting from S1) |
| Perhaps I forget, but what happened to former blue squares leader? The older brother. Wasn't he in a brawl with the van gang? |

| That was an amazing finale. I really loved this series from start to finish and I'm gonna miss it. Definitely a 10/10 for me and I'll be rewatching once in a while for sure! |
Aiko_Hiroshi said: I don't think he's the best character@Comic_Sans If you agree with her rant towards the series and her obsession towards Nisujima somehow being the best character and not deserving the fate he got, My favorite character is Izaya, which is something that I stated in my very first reply to you then I'll question your sanity too  Izaya might be scum (He at least had some redeeming qualities, like his friendship with Shinra), but the crimes he committed don't even compare to Nisujima, I didn't know "fucking with whole Ikebukuro for years and ruining several people's lives" = minor crimes but OK and he still got his just desserts in the end. They both deserve their fates. Which is something that I agree with 100 %But does that mean that a person who doesn't think that Izaya deserved to end up like that – or who thinks that Nasujima didn't deserve his fate – is crazy? No You're both in the minority And where did I say that I didn't think Nasujima deserved his fate or that I agreed with dizzyur?That's right Nowhere and it seems like you can't accept people calling out blind hate. I don't have any problems with you disagreeing with her since I am an advocate of democracy and freedom of speechWhat I do have a problem with, however, is people thinking ad hominems = arguments |

| How the hell Mikado survived that multiple stabbing right through the heart and chest? I'm not buying it... |
| So, it finally ended huh... I must admit, I'm kind of disappointed with this series. It's not 'bad' per se, but x2 didn't come close to first season's level. I feel that not many things changed since then, nothing had big impact on characters, their feelings weren't developed enough... I don't know what is at fault. Too many characters squeezed into one series? Plenty of them had no meaning existing what so ever after all. Weak ending? I thought it would be "bigger" and rewarding, and it ended on a rather low note, now it feels like watching entire thing was pointless. Nothing really was lost, nothing really new was gained... Sighh, I really don't know what to think about it. For now I'm going to rate it 7/10 I guess. Yandere ending for Nasujima is a win tho, lolz. |
  |
| This series finally ended... after 7 years since first airing (4 years after I first watched it). I heard that there is DRRR SH though? so it's not really the end? |
| My Reviews and Rants: http://bunny1ov3r.wordpress.com/ 痛就是爱 |
| Pretty intense finale, though there's a little too much going on due to the huge cast list. Other than that, pretty cool series overall even though I felt lost most of the time, again, because of the huge cast list. The show's a solid 8. Mikado living through all of that is pretty BS honestly, and I probably would've gave the show a 9 if someone actually died since it's predictable that everyone would be fine in the end. |
| Izaya just managing to escape thanks to that flashbang grenade. Lol Shinra asking Shizuo to throw him towards Celty. Thank goodness Celty got her memories back & I think she is better without her head. So happy to see Shinra and Celty together again. Ruri making a brief appearance. Her stalker is finally caught. Mikado, Kida & Anri are finally together and that bastard Nasujima stabs Mikado. Glad Mikado made it out of that attack. Can't believe its finally over. Gonna miss this show. This was probably my favorite cour out of the whole 2nd season & I am gonna miss all these great characters. Farewell Durarara!! Overall a 9/10 for me. |

| What a ride, i'll miss this anime. Another masterpiece in the books.... |
| shinra is completely insane...but i respect him for that ! |
| Damn it's been a long ride. A pretty satisfying ending though I think it would have been more appropriate id Izaya had died. 9/10 |

| Holy Shit...it was all Celtys fault! I didn't even think about that! God what a brilliant way to wrap up this series. Shizuo was awesome and Shinra...my god what a man! That Shinra and Celty moment was touching T_T A lot of action though too! That scum bag stabbing Mikado and then getting run over was hilarious. What a great series 10/10 easily |

| Nice finish. Best moment is when Shinra and Celty got back together. Didn't expect Shinra to slash her too. Well, the villain got what he wanted. 8/10 |
 |
| I'm really disappointed in Shizuo vs. Izaya fight. They dragged it over several episodes and then it's boom, resolved? I always imagined that "Do it, monster" part to be powerful but here it felt incredibly rushed. That and the animation of the night didn't look good at all. I just really expected it to be more emotional. I have read this part in novel (not the actual novels, just a few parts) and it felt so much stronger there. Aside from Shizuo and Izaya, I guess the rest of the episode was good enough. |
| Well that was a pretty satisfying ending overall. Loved how the cop showed up at the end to chase Celty and Shinra lol. I'd say this deserves an 8/10. |
| Satisfying ending especially Shinra and Celty. |
 |
| Welp, that was an anticlimax. Izaya vs Shizuo was supposed to be the payoff of basically 60 episodes of their conflict and yet it doesn't even get a proper conclusion. Then, Celty effortlessly takes care of the whole Saki situation and also manages to save Mikado without breaking a sweat. Talk about erasing all the tension built in this last arc. The only really satisfying part for me was the wrapping up of Celty and Shinra's relationship, but other than that it was an average ending. Ketsu was overall a slight improvement over both the previous cour of season 2, but couldn't quite reach the heights of season 1. 7/10 |
| 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
god damn her feets are huge lol  |
 |
| such a nice ending to a great show! i loved it! |
| Ok ending,so,is there more?? O.o Or this is the end,it felt like a sequal is coming.. |
 |
| I spent more time being confused than anything, kinda killed my interest. Decent watch I guess. |
| Im in the minority but im not satisfied by the ending. Dont get me wrong it was well executed but I feel that is was lacking in some parts. Especially Aoba felt largely undeveloped but thats okay because I dont really like him. I think that Drrrr is a series like Gintama which you can expand infinitely but better end it now before it gets shitty I guess. So maybe we gonna see the sequel later on, also LN Readers, could you kindly enlighten me if they skipped anything, somehow this season felt rushed. |
| What a finale, though it was done better in the novels, the anime did a pretty good job, Can't wait till they adapted Durarara SH |

Fresh_Mint said: Ahhh that was such a good finale. My only nitpick is that the Shizuo and Izaya "Do it, monster" scene felt lacking without Izaya's monologue about him winning even in death but maybe that's just me. Glad to see Vorona sticking up for her senpai and showing off chara development. Celty pretending to forget her memories and Shinra immediately knowing the truth. They're so cute? If Shinra had died, I think Celty would leave so thank goodness he didn't. Anri's right about Celty helping out so many people. Mikado final scene in the hospital after protecting Anri. He's finally back home with them~ This isn't the ending they deserved but I'm just glad they got back together in the end. I'm gonna miss Durarara so much, it was one of my first animes. Gonna miss all the fun and drama from this show... Couldn't agree more, well said. This series was a really enjoyable ride, I'm gonna to miss this series so much. 9/10 |

| How did Nasujima survive being run over? He looked perfectly fine all tied up at the end. Overall the series was okay to me. I don't really get what it's trying to portray. |

He was less than 40 ft away so i doubt the big van got to enough speed to kill. It sounded like he got run over though. Like bone crunching. |
Forever_A said: I'm the only one that wanted to see Celty leaving? I never bought the relationship of those two. I sure hope you're the only one. We don't need such negativity! The world is already bleak enough without you spoiling the best pairing this anime had to offer. |
| I've posted this on another website before, but I'd like to share my reasons why didn't like the final episode here as well. So, can someone who rated the episode 5/5 explain me if they liked these few things? - Hollywood-Killer girl: Was it really necessary to show her again? This character was so unimportant that they shouldn't even have wasted one minute showing her again. I honestly forgot that she even existed - Where did Celty's head drop? Does nobody care anymore? - Shinra using Saika with his own free will. Seriously? When and how did he learn that? - What happend with Erika's eye? Did she loose it or was she just "cosplaying" together with Walker since everybody else weared bandages? - When and why exactly did Sloan jump to Varona again? - Mikado gets away with everything just like that because Anri is his friend and her connections save him from the Yakuza? - Too less screentime for Izayas sisters. They don't give a fun about him being almost beaten to dead apparently.. I wonder who payed for their karate lessons and everyday living expenses... - What was Miss Kujiragi even planning? Is she a good girl, pretending to be bad or something? |
| The only thing I truly enjoyed about this underwhelming episode was Haruna. Haha, that's my girl! Cunning enough to have been pretending all this time, only to serve justice to the biggest prick of the series! And in what way... OMG, he truly did deserve it!! Disappointed with other stuff, everything was so anticlimatic... Angered by the treatment Aoba got. There was no such scene in the novel, the was a very different one, and now the whole fandom is going to believe he's a jerk even though he isn't. The guys who wrote that extra scene just suck and are true Aoba-haters eager to make him OOC to satisfy their hate. Go die, morons. Overall, too many characters and too little time. Episode 11 was a lot more interesting than this one. And pray tell me, why was Nasujima fully intact lying on Haruna's table after having been crashed into with a car? That's not even logical, lol. |
| Great end to a great series! I'm going to miss this show, and that's not something I can say very often. |
Durarara said: I'm happy with the way this ended. I ended up liking this episode a lot more than I expected to. My only complaint would be the animation, but I can get over that. My thoughts exactly. |
 |
| Durarara withdrawal OMG NOOOOOOOO |
| Nice finale, Sad to see Durarara wrapping up but it's been a fun ride. I did expect more out of the whole Izaya vs Shizuo fight, But at least Izaya is alive :D Also would have liked some kind of Izaya monologue at the end :P Celty saves the day, Shinra figuring out she was lying all the while and getting her back. I love the relationship between Shinra and Celty, Always so cute and entertaining. Poor Mikado, Getting repeatedly stabbed like that. Hope Nasujima gets what's coming to him. Overall great and really enjoyable series, 8/10 across all seasons. |
