Amazing episode, from the conversation of Izaya with Mikado when it revealed how twisted Mikado is in truth to the encounter of the three Saikas. Kujirane is cute, but her Saika is really badass. And later that ending with Chikage and Kida... things looks really exciting!

Btw, now that I read the comments, it's true. The identity of the guy who contact Shijima in this episode is

I really liked seeing Izaya walking around Ikebukuro. While the conversation with Mikado didn't really bring anything new to the table, the visuals of the city made it look more lively than usual.
Next episode Masaomi's getting his ass kicked.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

I have no idea who Takashi is. It's been a long time.

Almost looked like Haruna was going to make out with Anri for a moment there. She was being very seductive in trying to convince Anri to give her Saika.

Really, another wonderfully complex episode of Durarara with so much going on at once. Very rare to get a series like this, so I'll appreciate it while it lasts.

You know. The pedophile teacher from season one who had been harrassing Anri. Haruna Niekawa is a yandere because of him.

Being entertained by an episode of just people talking to each other shows how much character development and progression this series has. Looking back on the previous episodes and seasons, our dear characters sure have "grown up".

An interesting dynamic between Izaya/Mikado and Haruna/Anri. I don't really understand Mikado's motivations all that well nor Izaya's number one fascination with him but it'll be interesting to see how and where Mikado plays it out.

I'm really intrigued by this additional information about Saika though. So Anri's Saika is like the mother and Haruna's Saika is her offspring. And yet, it seems both of those Saika are a part of Kasane's saika which is like the grandmother ^^ Really interested to see the cafe conversation next episode.

I'm kind of getting tired of Izaya always having the upper hand and being fully aware and having a hand in everything that's happening, it could be just my irritation towards him and hatred for his character but I was a little glad he didn't know about Celty's head being thrown in the bushes but he seems to know who did it which was also disappointing. This series is my favorite and it will always be my favorite but I would really love it if it ended with Izaya suffering severely or him dying.

It seems that Celty isn't the only Dullahan in the series. I'm thinking Saika and the Dullahan are all connected.

Haruna sure is a creepy chick... I still can't get over those eyes and that expression of hers. Her meddling with Anri, however, was at least equally enjoyable.

The last 10 seconds of this episode and Izaya analyzing mikado were literally the only good things. quite the drop in quality from regular Durarara stuff.

I'm still confused af. Just get to the climax already and explain everything. Every episode is a setup episode and I'm not understanding shit. There's too many characters, too many point of views, too many Saikas lol

uau. Very interesting dialogue IZaya and mikado.About directions dollars maybe to follow.
Haruna niekawa and Anri sonohara dialogue and fight great surprise for me in this episode. I liked the IZaya reacted after see the head in the TV.
I don't understand Ruri have powers or normal human,if she monster,can someone explain she is able to do?
Sorry I digited Katane,but correct is Kasane in my last post.

Well, three things to note:
  • I almost thought there was gonna be yuri time... again. Considering the moments we've had in x2 so far.
  • Mikado has really changed but, is it for the best?
  • It was within Izaya's plan for that redhead to steal Celty's head.... wow, this guy really oversees the game from above...

Seiji losing control.

I wouldn't mind Haruna kissing Anri for a second.

lol at Yukina in the magazine.

Dat Mikado-Izaya chat. Loved how Izaya pointed at that random guy.

The 3 Saika's finally meet.

Dat bondage.

I would love an HLA scene between Anri, Haruna, and Kasane.

That bastard is one of the people responsible for Kyouhei being in the hospital. If only I could tell Walker and co. myself.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).

For an episode it has too many things going around, too much conversation I mean. Though atleast one thing's clear, Mikado is still sane enough.

So looks like there might be some sort of alliance between Anri and this Kasane, not sure how that will go.
So Celty's head being thrown into the open doesn't seem to be part of Izaya's plan...
