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.

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.

Where was the Aldnoah.Zero reference though? I didn't catch that.
But I did see Kanae no Hoshi - the new LN from Shana's author.

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.

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?

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.

this is a disappointing first ep. it felt too chaotic and lacked the drrr atmosphere i recall.

then again, it's been years since i read the novels, i can't tell how close this is to the original.

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.

Yay more durarararara. The lupin reference made me laugh. I don't think the animation quality is as good as season one. What were the other manna in the van besides toradora?

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)

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.

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.

Going to rewatch season 1. It's been too long and I feel like knowing all the happenings again will let me enjoy this even more.

Great first episode. Felt it blended the end of season one to this pretty well. In short, nothing much has changed.

It's been a while since Durarara last finished airing. Nice to see them all back in animation xDD
I love the new opening, song and video itself. I love how it transitions to one character to the next.
Watching Black Bullet and some others paid off and I actually understood everything the Otakus were talking about lol xD

YEEEEESSSSS!!!!!

All those references. Funny how fast I could notice Samumenco, even if it was shown only briefly.

For some reason when I first watched DRRR!! I didn't like Celty that much, but after rewatching it and reading the manga she's become one of my favourites. I was really happy to see her so much in this episode.

Didn't really like the OP or ED that much. Nothing beats S1 1st OP. Hope they will grow on me.

Really great start for the show!
