3/5

This episode really contained nothing more than randomness and 1 question solved and 1 question asked.


We learn about a bunch of things in this episode that answered questions about the last couple of episodes like:

-Who is Hollywood?
-What relationship did Shingen and that tall foreigner have?
-What is Shingen planning?
-Why did the foreigner attack Hollywood?
-Did the foreigner survive?
-Why did those shady looking men visit Shinra at the end of episode 2?
How do all these events connect?

How is that any of that random?

Well, you could of course, but the person who did would sound like an idiot :-)

This is not to say that this show is the "greatest thing ever", but regardless of whether this is one's cup of tea or not, the show is definitely amusing and well crafted at the least.

It's faaast! The pace is too faast! O_O

I feel like they rushed the story. But maybe it's only my feelings. Oh. And the drawing isn't as good as in episode 2.

Hijiribe Ruri is here! Am I the only one who think of Hatsune Miku everytime she talks? LOL. Fujita Saki xD

Though I think because it's been quite some time since the VA's have played these roles the acting is a bit off on the origanal cast but I'm enjoying this series, anyway Durarara always is and always will be an amazing series and I can't wait to see what happens next week =)

Yuhei and Ruri. Now that some interesting couple we got here.

Still not enough Shizuo. When are we going to get to see Shizuo vs Izaya again?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

The connections.

THAT. is what makes this series so great.

The fact that EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED.

Someone has got to make a web of all the incidents and people connected to each other.

The intricate web of relationships and connections with everyone is just so unique and beautifully crafted you actually have to think, OH WHAT? When did they meet??!?!?

The dramatic irony is also a powerful tool in this show.

Love this episode and i LOVE this show.

The yuri twincest kiss DAYUM.

5/5. I love them all. My favorite male characters: Shizuo and Shinra. My favorite female character: Celty

This was the best anime of the season for me >_<

So much happened in one episode.

> Dat sister kiss
> Shinra became obstetrician
> Igor saved by the sisters
> Feels moment when Kasuka talked with Ruri
> Walker and Karisawa talked about figure
> Togusa's sad crying
> Ryugamine's expression when Aoba teased Anri.

Can't wait for next week. A "race" with Toromaru across the city.

I wasn't a big fan of the 1st season but i have to say how they're telling the story by going to the past and showing what a character was doing at the time has been brilliant thus far.

Really enjoyed the episode. Dotachin being awesome and mikado getting back into the action.

And a question to those of you who have read the novels: How far into Vol.4 are we so far? Please give the answer in parts, like 1/2, 1/3, etc. Just wondering si I can take a guess at how long the cours will last.


It's hard to answer because the chronology is a bit different and things are dropped or changed.
But maybe 20 - 25 percent?
The anime is more fast paced than the novels. But that's not a bad thing.

I haven't read the light novels but since there's a lot of supernatural elements the twins might actually be the same person somehow.

The Japanese word "bakemono" is often translated as "monster", but it also includes humans who are not like most humans. In this case Yuuhei he is a "bakemono" because he is utterly lacking in emotions.

I don't really understand the characters'...sympathy? understanding? of Ruri. There is a difference between being a Dullahan, not understanding human emotion, having superhuman strength, and BEING A SERIAL KILLER.

Huh? How is any of that mutually exclusive? Dullahans are considered evil monsters in Irish lore that take the souls anyone unlucky enough cross paths with them. They aren't human nor do they have human emotions. They are a textbook monster.

The point however is that both Celty and Ruri abnormal beings who ordinarily should not be able to live in the bounds of human society because of that, but Celty who is a complete monster was eventually able to do it. That represented hope for Ruri who realized then that she can live with the fact that she is monster, but it's not impossible to find some happiness and normalcy in spite of that. Basically she is not alone as an outcast.
