----------------------------------------
Izaya is such a trick pony. His mischievous personality even has Anri wondering.

A good amount of transition this episode as it continuously builds up more for this arc.
Celty and Shrina still shares a good chemistry. I think Anri is perhaps digging a bit more into what she should not know. Erika is such a good friend to her~

Shit is getting real once again and all of this happened in a very informative female centered episode =o

I really enjoyed seeing the inner struggle within Anri again as well as her interactions with Erika and most of all Izaya whom conveyed his goals for Mikado and Masaomi to her in style in a way that only he can lol....But I'm very interested to see where the three way Saika subplot goes

However, slowly but surely, Izaya's little group is falling apart becaue of internal sabotage (I don't like that girl that tried to kill him at all tbh) and everyone being fake about their loyalty to him, so I can't help but feel like he's gonna get screwed so hard soon :(

Great episode overall though, lots of foreshadowing all around and that ending has me even now worried now that Celty's head is out in the public as well as seeing Celty herself fallout like that TwT

Another great episode really liking how this is turning out, I feel really bad for Anri in all of this but i love how Erika is so sweet to her. Izaya is being awesome as ever but the ending with Celtys head though! I wonder what Izaya is planing to do with Mikado and Kida, very interesting episode.

that was a pretty intense ending, with celty's head appearing in public and her collapsing. and the scene with izaya and anri was pretty awesome, especially when they showed her inner struggle. i feel bad for her though.

Erika's awesome. Loved how she dealt with Rocchi and bitch slapped Izaya XD

F***n Izaya tho "I've had nothing to do with those 2 recently...because I'm just about to start messing with them" lol

Never change man XD I wonder what he was planning if Anri really attacked him ^^; He couldn't have been 100% sure she wouldn't right...

Some nice focus we got there on Anri.

Flustered Celty was so kawaiiii. I don't get why she fainted at the end tho. Shock or sth else?

And really wonder what Izaya's reaction to seeing Celty's head like that will be lol

Celty better get her head back soon.

Foolish Orange haired girl thinks she is going to come out on top. And looks like Izaya's group isn't as loyal to him as expected. But I'm sure he has a plan for that.

Great episode. But we need more Mikado.

Izaya continues to be one of my all time favourite characters and top favourite villain. Just too perfect!

I wonder what Celty would do with her head if she got it back, would she try to attach it or something? I feel like it's probably been talked about before and I missed something.

I find myself surprisingly liking Erika which I didn't before. I defo ship her with Anri, they would be super cute together. Although with the way she dealt with Izaya and his BS I could ship Izaya X Erika too... Durarara has so many fun ships~ God you could just ship anyone with anyone in this anime and somehow it still makes sense in some way.

Izaya provoking Anri like that was pretty intense. She legit wanted to kill him and I wonder what tricks he had up his sleeve if she did attack. Lol at Erika before that though, thinking it was a yuri confession or a foursome.

That ending though........things are definitely starting to get more interesting now.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

An enormous improvement compared to last week's episode. It felt like quite a lot happened this time, and it's starting to get very intense yet again. I almost thought, for a moment, that the head they found was either Anri's or Niekawa's, but for it to be Celty's makes more sense I suppose. Izaya's provocation of Anri also caught my attention because of how tense it was, and that wasn't just down to how they presented it either.

I do feel that we need to see more of what Mikado is up to, as Celty made it clear that his plans are still progressing.

One of the thoughts Anri had this episode was that someone like Izaya being slashed by Saika most likely would turn into another Haruna Niekawa - in that he would overcome the control and use the power for himself.

The interaction between Anri and Izaya was so nice for me, and Erika defending and helping Anri is so nice though >___<

Such a great episode, it really made me want more. The interaction between Anri and Izaya was pretty interesting, but the end of the episode was even better.

Don't know how this show does it but it's incredibly intense without having to give every character a sword or super powers.

Hahaha, such a great episode. I love watching this unfold. But poor Izaya is going to get screwed over soon, ne. Again. Well, I can only hope that they'll eventually anime SH and the Sunset novels.

Izaya, as usual, is my favorite a**hole. And sure, he's not a good person. He's a terrible person much more often than not, but I don't think he's the worst in this series. Otherwise, I do enjoy the ErikaxAnri BROTP. And Chikage was very amusing. And we find out a bit more about Kujiragi too.

I noticed this already, but it's just hilarious to see all of the spoilers in the ED. Especially Simon. And damn, I love the OP. Can't wait for next week's episode. Not looking forward to Izaya getting the short end of the stick, but I'll live.

Still upset at the removal of Tsukumoya Shinichi from the anime though.

Anri so close to killing Izaya with Saika.
Good thing Karisawa is there.
Rokujo makes his return.
Shinra and Celty are so cute together.
Looks like Celty's head is out in the public for everyone to see and Celty faints.

Like always, Durarara delivers.
Izaya is trolling as always, provoking Anri to the point of wanting to kill him.
I agree, Izaya will probably overcome Saikas posession as he already loves all human.
So ehh is Erika bi as she said she dont mind either way ? It would suit her though.
Celtys head being showed in public was a suprise but I think Izaya dont care either way, I doubt he would be careless for his precious things and in the preview it doesnt look like his mood changed

A solid episode, but I confess that this season is well below the other, not by focusing on less interesting characters, but it seems that the plot does not walk ...

I hope it happens some great shit next to improve everything.

Izaya's analogies are just out of this world. You know he needs his regular entertainment of screwing with both Mikado and Masaomi. Anri might have attacked but I doubt she's on the same level as Shizuo, hence he would come out unscathed anyway. The goose chase revolving around that head further intensifies which just makes me giggle all the time. Celty collapsing due to shock from finding out or what? Fab episode.

Yeah pretty much, Anri attacked him before and he barely showed any effort in stopping her. Also, Saika in that crazy looking chick attacked him as well, and he stopped that. Pretty much Izaya is on a different level with Shizou and Celty? Just imo

Celty collapsing because of a effect her head has on her, and not just shock. At least it seems that way, I doubt she would just faint at the sight of her own head already having suspected that it was hers considering she looked it up like that.

Izaya being the awesome troll he is, nearly breaking Anri's spirit if it wasn't for Erika.

Also learn more about Kujiragi's past so she's the half-sister of Ruri's mother? which means not only is she a saika wielder, but she was already superhuman to begin with? Damn she must be strong.

An interesting part I read up after watching this episode, which comes from the novel says that if Izaya is considered naturally evil then Kujiragi is a human created from humans. So whilst Izaya himself has chosen his current path, Kujiragi has been forced with hers, even now.

I wonder who planned for the head to be revealed to the public Izaya or Kujiragi?

The only part I didn't get about this episode is how did Celty come to the solution that Kujiragi was behind the attack on Shinra? Only Izaya/Mikage and Kine knows the truth about the Yodogiri group.
