LOL why you say that?You say that Anri isn't cute enough :|
A nice girl like Anri shouldn't be treated like that, seriously.
I mean,seeing them harassing poor Anri & insulted her makes me annoyed with them & wish someone beat the crap out of them.

Okay guys, seriously.

I didn't see her in the OP nor the ED. Someone tell me Ruri will appear again, and as a part of the series, not just an idol singing for a few seconds. The Kasuka x Ruri fanarts aren't enough for me. PLEASE.

I NEED IT. I NEED TO KNOW MY GODDESS WILL BE BACK AGAIN.

PS
I'm not Togusa.


btw, the new ED reminds me of how Baccano!'s ED went. Remember the running railroad tracks and a scroll of the characters' faces? It's far from exact, but I can't shake the feeling it was inspired by it.

I totally love the new OP! But the ED was alright for me, I think I missed Trust me a little too much..
Happy that Kasuka will have more role as he is in the OP. And can't wait to see more Saki's appearance.(The ED with her by Izaya's.. I have a feeling it could have oppose a little of those Izaya fangirls there xD) + Housewife Namie was win ♥

I have nothing much to say than the usual "I love this episode"
Kida never fail with his joke and I love Mikado desperately say "kawaii, kawaii" That was just too cute.
Poor Celty on this episode as her life is getting into more trouble than before after her reveal of her true self to almost the world.
Namie working for Izaya yay.. I guess...
And I lol'ed at Izaya's "kitaaaaa..." at the chatroom when Saika appeared.
The ending was creepy yet the bullies deserves it somehow.

oh and did I mention Izaya speaking Russian was a surprise? =D

It was a nice introduction into the new arc. Hopefully it will be better than the first.

I have a feeling that I might like the dad. He seems funny. I wonder how he will react to his son's relationship?

I would like to know more about Anri. And Kida too. Next week's episode should reveal something.

I dislike the new OP but I love the new ED since it's ON/OFF that's singing it.
I couldn't help think that scared Celty was too cute, but it can be pretty scary if the cops are on your tail like stalkers. Shinra's father is far from what I expect him to be but he's effing hilarious. (I could have sworn he quoted Lelouch from Code Geass.) I'm very curious to know about Kida's past with the Yellow Gang. Hopefully they'll show that soon. (Kida's serious voice is too SMEXY!!) The last 2-3 minutes of the episode was the scariest part of the series so far with the chatroom spammer, the creepy music, and let's not forget, the Slasher.

There is absolutely nothing healthy about this relationship.

-It occured to me that it has been way too long for an anime made by the author of Baccano to have some bloody murder so, yeah, having it happen to those three b's at the end made it much more worthwhile. That being said, the music there was creepy...as...hell...

-"Shinra gave me this, it's important to me."
I think this is the first time I've ever thought that a headless girl was moe...

-SoRaNoWoTo and a blatant Secret of Haruka Nogizaka reference in DRRR? Now, I'm just saying that it's only a coincidence that those three shows aired on crunchyroll but....

Oh and if that was a Code Geass reference from Shingen, nice.

-Izaya speaking Russian=win.

ahaha. I thought Anri was going to admit lesbian inclinations (for Mika) and was like, OH NO. MIKADO HAS NO CHANCE.

Celty is too cute. I also thought Shingen was going to be mysteriously creepy and serious. Was pleasantly surprised.

Freaky ending. A++

I also prefer the old OP&ED.

Dunno I liked the old OP and ED better, maybe I'll start to like these.
It was great I hope it stays great, wasn't crazy about the latest episode seems like they were setting up something but we will see.

Is the slasher really just a guy that wants to cut people for the heck of it ?

Edit: Awesome opening and um.. when the hell did Ken Nakajima's alter ego show up after Celty-san?! I guess he's a wreckless dude with the cops on a bike.... yikes....

Edit2: Hmmmm have no idea on the slasher... Nice Ending music :D

Well, i don't like the new songs, but we are measuring up to the ones from the first half so they had their work cut out for them.
They did a good job of picking off from the end of the last arc, and the characters were introduced pretty well at that. I am more interested in the slasher incident then i was during the last arc.
Also while the character set up was nice, we won't have to have 6 episodes of that in order to start the story so as long as there is material this is looking good! A good helping of anime references as well this episode too. Glad i wasn't the only one to spot Sora no Woto. ^.^

I miss the old OP/ED, but I always do when it changes for a show, so the new ones will grow on me hopefully...

Needed moar Shinra, but if I could I would make every scene include Shinra in some way, so that's just me. Also his dad, heh heh heh, he amuses me. And Shinra/Celty is too cute for words, ngl.

I'm kind of annoyed by the ~main trio~. I've never liked Anri, but I just wasn't thrilled by them in this episode, although by the ending I was definitely more interested.

Oh and Izaya speaking Russian basically killed me hnnnnnggg. :3

Is it odd that the thing I'm most curious about is that Izaya's game board is down to three pieces. I'm not surprised that Izaya can speak Russian but I was surprised to see that Simon had a pretty clear understanding of what Izaya was up to and was rather serious about it.
I expect the slasher bit to be interesting at the very least.

Mika and Seiji aren't a cute couple and never will be. I expect them to make a suicide pact one day and everyone they knew wouldn't be surprised to hear about their fate...

Great episode though. I totally forgot about the red-eyed slasher! Even though I felt the show could have easily have ended at 12 episodes, I'm glad there is still more of a story to tell.

And I wish Shizuo would break that jerk cop's face with his mighty Superman fist!

loved the three yellow scarves picking on shinra's old man. (they are in the ending theme as well :D)

hated the three bitches picking on anri. serves them right.

but the cop remains the badass of the day /me kills.

best remains Celty's kawaii-ness <3

I missed this show O:

I liked the first op way better but the new one is nice (a little too slow). But I love the new ed more than trust me.

Anyway nice ep, finally a bit more on Kida and the yellow scarves though I accidentally spoiled myself already T_T

I liked the new opening's animation, but I preferred the old opening's song. Oh well.

What the fuck did I just watch omg I don't even...

That music they played when the "troll" was on the chat was so weird. Then she/he was spamming the weirdest shit. But YES, finally the Slasher killed those annoying bitches. I never really liked Anri until this episode, but now I have a better understanding of exactly why she's so quiet and doesn't really like to share her feelings with anyone.

edit lol: JESUS CHRIST THAT SONG IS STILL IN MY HEAD. ;___;

About the OP: ROAR OUT LOUDER was cooler, but this one's good too. Although the visuals are nothing special...

So, it's been 6 months already? Nice skip...
Kida's grin at the teacher was priceless xP Yeah, try being a pedo with Masaomi around, bitch.

Celty glomping Shinra - I MELT.
Shinra's "in bed" comment - ...I go wtf.

The existence of Durarara! is like a gift from the Gods.

New police guy in town making things hard for Celty. I knew it would happen the moment i saw the guy in the new OP. No reason to show him if he was gonna be another usual cop right?
Poor Celty she was shaking. That's what so lovable about her. She can be this badass headless monster and at the same time a sweet girl that's afraid of Aliens and scary guys.

The slasher had a knife this time right? If i remember correct the long hair slasher holds the knife. So if there are two slashers then the short hair with the sword could be Anri or the new girl in the OP and ED.

The talk with the yellow scarf guys confirms what we were all suspecting that Kida was probably there previews leader.

It was very confusing episode. I now have absolutly no-idea who the hack is slasher. Overall, decent development and introduction for the new characters. Looks like Shinra's dad is not as bad as I thought.

Love the new OP. It fits perfectly, imo. But I don't really like the ED. It's not bad, but it's not Trust Me.

But dude, anyone else freaked out at the ending? Man, that was so creepy. The music killed me. I'm not scared easily, but that was... such a weird feeling to watch this. The scene in the chat creeped me out almost more than the actual slasher scene. I thought that was rather cool.

Overall, awesome ep. Enjoyed it completely.

Lol Izaya is strange when he's in that chatroom. They're using the cast's voices now that we know who they are in there. I liked it when Izaya warned Mikado about Yellow Scarves.

Sora no Woto and Haruka reference this time...liked it...

Is the slasher and the troll at the chatroom there the same person?
