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.


Yes Kida is a Supporting Character in Season 2 and I think Shinra replaced him as a main character.

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...

Very good first episode. It's awesome delving back into the world of Durarara, and really nice seeing the characters again. Although I'd love to see more of my favourite character Shizuo but ah well....

I'll give this episode a solid 4/5

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! ♥

Best way to hide someone voice. Even that part was awsome. Most of ost s were from old serie, I liked that feature. Ending was also alike with old serie.

Also except Izaya and Shizou all characters look like old serie, but Izaya and Shizou now looking more alike with their novel illustration version.

I like it. I have been waiting for 5 years, it worth i guess.

Finally it's back! Gotta love the ED, it gives off the same vibe as the first ED of drrr!! I see a few new characters in the OP, the op is good, in a way that it gives us a brief introduction of the characters and but the transition seems to be a little bit...not so smooth, unlike the one we had in first season.

Anyway, the show kicked started with a drrr style and i couldn't be more happy than that!

One question arises, though. None of us know how many episodes one cour will have. But judging season 1 which had 24 eps, it means the three cours will have 8 eps each? I hope I'm absolutely wrong

Looks like Miria and Isaac are doing just fine, as idols i.e. :D

Man, to think that she made a million yen in just one week. She is going to use this to buy Shinra some new glasses. Happy Celty = Happy me. B-But she lost it! 💔

9/10 already!

Yeah, lets hope it has at least 12 or 13 episodes for each cour at the most.

That's what I'm hoping for anyways.

I love how they use the same style for the OP and ED (great songs btw) as they did in the first season. Hearing all those old soundtracks just gives me goosebumps. Also a really nice way to start up this anime :D Can't wait for more!!

I had the biggest smile on my face watching this...it is so good to be back in Ikebukuro.

The OP was spot on with the character introductions, the ED was pretty good, love how they kept the art style from S1.

So good to see all of the old characters, even though Masaomi and Shizuo were only there for a few seconds. The new characters are pretty interesting too.

Emilia specially cracked me up, glad she's just as wacky as Shinra's dad.

I thought "one cour" generally implied 11-13 episodes.

Yes, this should have at least 12 episodes, considering how S1 went it'll probably cover between 1 and 2 arcs depending on how big they are.

Well, it has finally started. I couldn't put my finger on it, but I was pretty excited of it to air and I didn't knew why. After all, I don't remember much about Durarara!! and isn't particularly a super big fan of it, but now I get why. It's probably of this hilarious ridiculousness and crazy modern world they live in. Let's just take what Mikado say at the very beginning, he talks about some ''very odd events, yet really ordinary''. From our point of view, that's totally out of question of how crazy these events look, but from it's point of view, he's probably being very honest.

Anyway, a good introduction episode for this new season. Don't really know why MAL divided it so complicatedly. I didn't remembered that there was so much top-tier VA in that show : Daisuke Ono, Hiroshi Kamiya, HanaKana, Miyuki Sawashiro and I'm probably missing a lot more. Damn, that's one hell of a casting.

The two sisters were hilarious, or rather, the glasses one. Her crazy style remind me Rika from Haganai, but less perverted :P
If I'm not wrong, the OVA confirmed us that they are


Celty is still being involved in weird shit. That lure was pretty clever, I got lured myself. Poor her, she lost that cash she rightfully earned! I hope she get it back... I'm glad to see those bunch of otaku back. It's even better when you knows about the reference they are making x)
The reaction from Namie Yagiri when Izaya told her that her brother relationship with his girlfriend was doing great was so funny. Bitter brocon sister.

There's one thing I must say though : Mikado and Anri need to fuck already. Nah, seriously, they look cute together, but if does not progress this season, this will ends up like the super ultra platonic relationship from Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! I don't want that :(
Also, was the ending hinting that this season will focus on Kida and Mikajima?

The new OP and ED are almost exactly similar in their design to the first season, but I don't mind that. The new song are really good, even if it can't really top the one from the first part of the first season (dem OP/ED...).

Nothing much this episode, just everyday Ikebukuro, which is still awesome. There's a handful of new characters shown here, and it's going to be fun seeing them in action. I honestly lack anything to say for this episode, but I'm hyped for Saturdays now.

Finished watching the 1st season a couple weeks back so excited for the 2nd season.
Great start to the show. Seeing all these familiar faces is great and looking forward to seeing some new ones as well.
The OP and ED song are quite good.
Loved those references to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei & SAO 2.
Celty is the best.
Love how they rewind time to tell us what happens prior to the events at the beginning.
The animations are pretty good.
Cannot wait to see more.
Loving the winter season so far.
