| Well the tagline for this episode was "nothing has changed", and I think I'd agree. This episode keeps with the last season almost perfectly. Celty is still charming Izaya is still a devious bastard Shizuo still gets way too little screen time Shinra is still an idiot Mikado is still irrelevant Kyouhei and his gang are still more likable than the 3 main characters 4/5 Entertaining first episode. Establishes the tone and nature of Ikebukuro very well. Felt like returning home :) |

| I'm so happy that it feels just like the 1st season. I love Celty so much. I want to read everyone's reactions to the episode but I'm afraid of seeing more spoilers. I was going to read the novels before season 2 started but I never got around to doing it. And last I saw, volumes 11 and 12 weren't translated. |
| I am so happy DRRR is back!but damn,it has been four years since i watched it so i totally forgot about some things... Anyway,it's nice to see Celty and Shinra being cute:* also,Samurai Flamenco...bless. |
| The feels... Celty was awesome, as usual. New OP is great, and the ED is alright... hopefully this lives up to the hype! ^^ |
| damn! this was awesome and it still feels like durarara, dis gonna be good |
| :3 |
| Wait! who were the two sisters, with one pepperspraying the other?? Did i just Forget them or are they new?? |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Great first episode, Ed is awesome. All those cameos though, and goddamn Celty has a fine body. Man I've missed all these characters. Feels good to be back. |

| Mahouka ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) At first I was like "eh" on the opening but the more I listen to it the more I like it haha I've felt the chronology in the episode was quite baccano-ish, did the first drrr! season also had it, since I don't remember? |
| One must wonder what happened between this and baccano, did the author just became terrible at writting? was baccano actually good because of the adaptation or is drr adaptation actually bad? I dunno, either way, this was bad as expected. |
| Beautiful, just beautiful. Not one flaw in the first episode. Amount of references were insane, and there's still more in store. Also, the OP might just grow on me. ED wasn't that bad, but it just felt weird with the visuals imo. DRRR fans rejoice! |
 |
| They are back! *.* DRR as always subtly promotes other anime series! :) That ending! Is like right in kokoro! Really nice start! Can't wait to see next episode! |
| I am so happy to have this show back omg ;w; I got so happy when the OP/ED had a similar layout to the first season's!!! Like yeeeeee. I missed everyone (Esp Masaomi asdfghj), and I can't wait to see the other characters (I'm an anime-only watcher, so I'm probably not as informed as most of you, maybe...) Welp, good episode. I am happy. abyss333 said: Wait! who were the two sisters, with one pepperspraying the other?? Did i just Forget them or are they new?? They're the Orihara twins :D (So, Izaya's sisters.) They appeared in an OVA of DRRR once. |
| Loved all the anime references they had in this episode. (Won't lie, I gasped pretty loudly when I saw Aldnoah.Zero) I forgot how much I loved seeing Mikado and Anri interact with each other, just seeing the together kind of added more love for this episode. Quick question. Is Kida a supporting character in this season? We didn't see much of him and I have a feeling that we won't see much of him at all in season 2. |
| Wow.... Nostalgia... This was awesome... I can not believe that I am gonna watch more Durarara for one more year... This feels so good to be true... Just wow, episode 5/5, first season vibes, just omg..... so awesome. Great OP and ED as well... |
| Holy fucking shit. I love this. 6/5 |
| Goddamn i missed this show. the ED is fucking glorious, Best ED of the season. |
| Season 2 is out! I'm so happy!! :D Loved both; the OP and ED A serial killer? Hmm... Interesting Poor celty gets in trouble and loses 1mil ¥ Celty x Shinra forever Can't wait for episode 2! |
 |
| I have been waiting for this anime to begin. This was a good first episode. Yep nothing has changed indeed. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| It was really awesome! Glad to see everyone again especially Celty. And the new characters are fun too. Love the OP and ED as always! |
 |
| BASEDDURARARARA already love the ost reminds me of baccano <3 |
| well it's Durarara . . . that's about all I have to say about this :> 4/5 I guess |
  |
| This is awesome, this is going to be one hell of ride. THE HYPE IS REAL |
 |
| The feels. This is gonna be so awesome. |
  |
| This episode was too awesome OP and ED were amazing |
| DRRR's back like nothing's changed, and I couldn't be happier. Actually I could be. Baccano sequel when? |
 |
| Lovin it. ED is pretty nice |
| Holy shit, they kept the old soundtrack. OP is amazing, ED, not so much IMHO. |
 |
| yessss this was good. so nice to see all the characters again :> shizuo didn't get much screentime this episode, but still great. all these references! and i also loved that they did the ED animation in the same style as the first one. |
 |
| So many anime references. lol |
| I only recently finished the first season so I don't get nostalgia feels from this. But it's as great as the previous season, I am so glad they kept the same style. New characters and new conflicts incoming. What kind of mess is Izaya planning for this cour I wonder :3 As of now, 10/10 and AOTS. |

DejWoSWK said: It was not bad I did not enjoy this episode much. I wonder whether my tastes have changed so much since I watched first season or whether it is actually worse. Well, it might be both... For me a few things struck out: 1. The kept the same soundtrack. While having the old sound back is nostalgic, I rather have newer soundtrack 2. the pacing was jerky. the transitions really unsmooth and the event really did not seem like they had anything to do with each other (they do tie up, but things still felt jerky) 3. the animation in the OP was boring, the first season's was really smooth and had impact 4. The references Walker and the girl made felt forced... I knew all fo the series but felt like that scene had no place in the series, much less the first episode. I know they're trying to show off everyone in their lives, but that still felt forced Anyhow, the upcoming season is what matters, I still look forward to next saturday's episode |

Man those otakus! Man those sisters lesbian yuri relationship innuendo is huge. Can't wait to see them incest yuri!!!! Yay!!!

Can't believe my eyes with they said those references out loud... Death Gun lolololol wow... GOD i can't wait for the next episode.

| That was solid, but the problem with Durarara was never the characters or episodes like this one so we'll see how things go from here, good episode though, nothing has really changed from last season and that's a good thing so far. |
 |
| goddamn it feels good to be back in ikebukuro. |
 |
| Love the OP and the way the second season begun just like the first. I'm guessing the first arc is going to be something about Hawajima and the murders. And I think we'll see more of the Izaya sisters... |

| Great first episode although the OP could be better. |
 |
| So glad it's back!!!!! Really enjoyable 1st episode - reminded me how much I love all the characters in this show - can't wait for next week! :D |
 |
| Back in it's 4th wall breaking glory. The new OP and ED are great too. Oh Durarara, what took you so long. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Literally the OP couldn't be any better in my opinion, it immediately reminded me of why I loved DRRR!! so much to begin with and was really engaged with it. Felt like no time was lost and had me right back in the action. So excited this is finally getting the squeal it deserves. Something else note worthy is this season is already having a splendid OST and re-introduction of the characters from the get-go. Just completely nailed it with this ep! Missed all the babes from this series. Specifically Celty! ♥ |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| Wow that was great! Both the OP and ED are really good! lol so many references to other anime like Mahouka, Black Bullet SAO, and Shana. |
