THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Awesome epidosode, the plot is really moving along nicely now. Mikado's getting pretty deeply involved now, and it really affects his character for the better imo.
Wasn't really a fan of the scared inaka kid character traits. :P

Orihara was awesome as always, and Togusa raging at his car getting scratched was hilarious. Also, Railgun reference. The cover was pretty detailed, lol. :3

Oh man I missed the stream this week. Stupid earthquakes.

EDIT: Just watched. The only thing I can think about this episode is FUCK YES. Mikado is awesome, Kida is awesome, Izaya is awesome; why is this show so awesome? From now on, it can only get better. 5/5

A little bit, yeah. Talking about manga or something I think, how predictable xD

Epic episode as usual. Kida-kun was adorable and Izaya jumping on that guy (+ Celty owning him in the face) was hilarious. We get to see some of Mikado's true character at last, and next episode should have the climax of volume 1, finally.

Alright, cool.

I take it there was some action? I already read the synopsis for this episode, and the next, so it sounds like it.

The episode was fantastic but not much action......there is a new person...Takiguchi=>
and I keep wondering other than his mention with the Dollars as well as his musical instrument the harmonica.....does he have something interesting to bring to this series? Also Anri and Mikado......Mikado sure has some imagination about what she could do to him as a stalker since he think her friend Harima was also=>
but how did he know that....was it mentioned before or I forgot? Not only was it nice to see Kida visit Mikado in his place but Izaya/Selty being there was nice too. I think Togusa lost it when that stone chipped his van but he drives crazy enough=>
. I was also surprised at Mikado's expression when he saw Selty's head=>
but it was nice to tell him her story. Who the heck are those guys from a cleaning company=>
.....private goons working for Seiji's sister? Best parts and I loved Selty's kick and Izaya's stomp on a human=>

Takeshi's confrontation of Mikado was a rofl as well as when Kida was going about things in class=>
Some Celty GIFs=>
Overall enjoyable episode.

Yes it looks like it Charlie but I am mostly surprised by how he reacted with Celty revealing her head to him......it almost looked like he had the same impression as Seiji...

Railgun? Where? Where? Togusa's rage was hilarious one indeed.

Yeah but even so they only talk about things in the van.......Erika was funny again being thrown around by Togusa's crazy driving.

When Walker & Erika talking about Railgun with holding Railgun manga complete with cover before Togusa rage :)
Kida with his jokes & antics in the first part crack me up XD That guy Takiguchi seems friendly & act normal despite being Dollars members.Celty delivered roundhouse kick to that yankee guy & followed by Izaya stomping is utterly hillarious&awesome...
At the end it much indicates that Mikado is more than what we seen,plus his typing skillz is incredible.

Incoming epicness next week episode & as Fayto mentions that next episode is indeed the climax of book 1 so expect some awesomeriffic moment & revealation next ep...

Damn vacation, can't watch the episode as the Internet here is slow as hell. but anyway I manage to watch half of the episode at least and it seems we're at the climax of vol. 1! Love all the action that happens in this episode as far as I've manage to see xD! Especially Celty and Izaya's combo attack xD

Lol at Erika and Walker talking about Mikoto and Himegami. Izaya seemed to have upgraded from stomping cellphones to stomping on people. And man, I just rofl'd right at the beginning when they did the slow-mo with "Celty" screaming "OONNEEGAAII~".

Everything is finally falling into place. Yagiri Pharmacy, Celty, Dollars, and Mikado all meeting in the same place. From the way Mikado suddenly snapped into action at the end, I think he's more than just a member of Dollars. Probably the mastermind behind it. It just seems very likely. Mikado's always wanted an exciting life and what more could he ask for by setting up such a network like the Dollars to feed him endless information from a place like Ikekuburo.

Is it just me, or is the animation starting to get a little funky?

Well everyone should've known he was in Dollars since it was all the way in the beginning 1st episode, you can hear his voice narrating in the Dollars web chat.

How are you supposed to know that's the Dollars web chat in the first episode? o_0

That said, fun episode. If Mikado has a huge change like Jacuzzi did, that can only improve Durarara even more.

This is out of control, but I like it. Really, don´t you just sometimes want to stomp someone in the face that´s thát obnoxious? Great guy, nevertheless. Hm.. Izaya having a close case of borderline? I couldn't suppress a smirk when he went al 'lalalala I'mma jumping on your back now'. And.. Ryugamine is now finally ready to take part of the story, nice.. His time to shine, and that 'hallelujah' moment.. This might throw things up in the mix again.

EDIT: People, some speculations may even require a spoiler tag for the less up-to-date watchers.

he did remind me a little of Izaya when he started to make the phone calls and internet search.....does he have a information network as good as Izaya might?

Anyone who complains about spoilers for this specific episode, take heed of my words: This is a discussion for what just happened in the episode. If you don't want to get spoiled, watch the bloody episode before you come in here.

As for the episode itself, I did not expect Mikado to be the Dollars creator. For some god only knows reason I thought it was Simon...

Nice episode. A few funny moments all around it too. Izaya's antics, as usual, were worth a few laughs and Kida and his VA were amusing as ever.My appreciation for Mikado's character rose this episode. It would have even without the Dollars-related revelation at the end. It seems things are starting to round out a little and I'm sure we're in for a treat in the near future.
