| Good as always. I fucking love Celty. It's good to see the same style,the ED brings back memories. |
| Dat Emilia tho. |
| On one hand I'm really glad this finally is airing, but on the other I hate having to wait every week lol. |

-Klad- said: 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 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. |
now playing :: tides of man - keep me safe  |
| 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. |
| This was a first episode just like I expected. I like both the OP and ED they have the same style as the first season. |

| A good opening episode, animation has improved and the cast is still as likable as ever, the op has a similar style to the ones before which I liked. 4/5 |

| Nothing's changed and that's good it doen't feel like it has been 5 years since it aired. |
| this was just so good on so many levels, op, end, references, animation, already starting with laughing. Setting High hopes for this |

| First half I wasn't into second half I liked. I barely remember much from the first season. |
 |
| Oh how I've missed this show, I can't believe it's been over four years. Everyone's as lovable as ever, not a single dull moment, and we aren't even at the good parts yet, this is gonna be a fine season. |
| 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...). |

| Liked the OP, So happy this is back, it was nice to see Celty and Shizuo. |
 |
| It was a nice start. I'm happy to see everyone again! :3 |
 |
| SHIZUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO needs more screen time Celty was awesome as usual :) |
| I still can't believe DRRR!! is back. I'm so happy. Loved seeing the background adverts for A/Z and Samurai Flamenco. |
| Haha, loved the first episode. Just happy to be in Ikebukuro again. And all those references xD |
| Memories may fade, but that doesn't mean there isn't any point in making them. |

| Nice introduction, I'm waiting for something more intense though! Love the super-hyper sister :D For now it looks like not much has changed, artstyle and animation looks good, music sounds fantastic. I'm so glad we can finally return to Ikebukuro. It's already been 5 years! |
  |
| 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. |
| Why do people have such bad taste? Anime isn't subjective anymore. |

| Just a giant love fest here at the DRRR forum, while the shitstorm over at Aldnoah rages on. |

| 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. |

| Hmm pretty good ep. Nice to have Durarara back again. |
 Xway101 ~By me~ |
| I really love seeing Celty being frighten of cops. |
 |
| Finished the first season two days ago but it's going to be such a pain to wait every single week for an episode. Awesome OP and ED, I like the fact that they kept the style of S1's ED. Celty talking about her couple life with Shinra. Celty embarassed. Boobs Celty. Celty being herself. Celty scared. Celty ♥ |
 |
| I had Forgotten how much I liked the 1st season.. loved the references and Miyuki painted on the side of the van |

| SHIZU-CHAN DID NOTHING THIS EPISODE! Though it looks like he'll get more screentime next week. asdfghjkl can't wait |
 |
The best thing I can say about this episode is that it felt like the show never ended-i.e. exactly what I wanted. DRRR!! is back baby! |

| Nothing has changed and it feels like yesterday that the first season ended. Having said that, It felt rather conventional in it's delivery compared to the previous season of DRRR and Baccano. No time skips from one stage/scenario to another Maybe it's going to be a "straight" story this time? |

| that was an amazing first episode I loved everything I don't wanna wait for the next oneeee ;_;_;_;_;_; only real complaint is that the ending tried too hard to copy Trust Me but the song wasn't even half as good |
 |
| I really liked this episode but was kinda sad that Shizu-chan didn't throw anything around yet. Hopefully he goes on a rampage or fights Izaya in the upcoming episodes. |
 Let's get lit! |
| It's so good to be back in Ikebukuro! Overall a pretty good episode. Just sort of a reintroduction with small seeds being planted for the plot later on. OP was nice, ED was nice. I've always loved the soundtrack of this show, so hearing it again is most welcome. Dat quick Samurai Flamenco in the background. They also talked about so many anime, Index, Black Bullet, Sword Art Online, and so on. That was funny. I wish episode 2 was here already. |
| I felt so much nostalgia while watching this. I missed Celty<3 Well I missed pretty much every character to be honest |

| IT HAS BEGUN! FINALLY IT'S BACK. Nice episode. Can't wait for more to come. And to think this won't even be the last season we get :D Makes me really happy Hmm now that I think about it didn't they want to re-author the BD releases from the first season in the UK? Anybody knows if they finished that already?(if anybody knows please pm me) |
Nanashi- said: Hmm now that I think about it didn't they want to re-author the BD releases from the first season in the UK? Anybody knows if they finished that already?(if anybody knows please pm me) Amazon outright cancelled my almost year-old DVD pre-order, so I have no idea if they're even doing anything about that. |
|
| The opening was very fitting and the ending had a nice ring to it. Like the various references to other anime I hope Izaya's twin sisters would appear more in this season. |
 |
| Awesome first episode. Love the new opening and ed. |

Noellage said: only real complaint is that the ending tried too hard to copy Trust Me but the song wasn't even half as good Totally. I'm not too fond of the new opening either. Not that it's bad, but compared to Uragiri no Yuuyake not really catchy. |
