GOD THIS EPISODE LEFT ME SOO EXCITED!!

As usual my love goes out to Kida & Izaya for their sheer awesomeness. But this episode really made me like Mikado a lot more. <3

So looking forward to the next episode and Mikado epicness! :D

On the other hand of thinking that this episode was just brilliant with amazing twist, I started to get worried. This is fast. Way too fast. This is not even a middle of the episode, yet some of the major twists are already out. I can't believe they will going to have 14 more episodes for everything. I just try to force myself on thinking that there will be something big beside all of this, (like Shinra Mystery,Izaya past, Russian Sushi + Simon, and some mysterious American company) but... this is just... rushed.


I know! You have such a good point! The thing is, I reallyyyy wish ( as do other people im sure) that Durarara could go past these 24 episodes of epicness and be the start of a new popular on-going anime. But, it probably won't happen :(
That's pretty much expecting this anime to be another naruto/bleach/dragon ball/d-grey mand, which I don't really appreciate.


You don't appreciate the idea of Durarara being longer? Or you don't appreciate the animes you just listed?
(If it's choice number two, I don't appreciate those, either xp)

I absolutely loved Mikado in this episode, he's showing his true colors. Selty punching that girl's boyfriend in the face and Izaya jumping on him was hilarious~ Kida was as cute as always. Also, did anyone catch the password being "baccano" when Mikado was typing something in his computer? I thought that was pretty cool, idk why. P:

Overall, really good episode and I can't wait for next week!

I don't want Drrr to be long. 24 episodes are the best for it;I don't think it will able to sustain from keeping mystery and twist if it will become endless shonen series. It has a large cast, but still limited. So, they will have to feed even more characters to make it longer, which means death of the anime.

Anyway, I was very impressed about direction overall in this episode. I like how all three Kanra, Tanaka Tauro, Setton-san finally met in one place... The only thing I concern is a contents for next 14 episodes.

Damn. You got me there. I do not want death, and if the series becomes longer,
fillers will come and people won't appreciate Durarara as much.
Thanks for setting me straight >.<

If the anime goes on for too long, people will start to get bored with it. If it ends after 12-24 episodes, then peoples' memory of it will be based on those few gems, not the long-as-hell crap that would come later.

I am just curious as to how would a person like Mikado suddenly....
he did remind me a little of Izaya when he started to make the phone calls and internet search.....does he have a information network as good as Izaya might?


In the first episode he mentioned that he never left his home town and that he kind of grew scared of leaving. So I'm assuming he originally started Dollars just so he'd have like minded people (people that don't want to live normal lives) to talk to while he was home. It probably just grew over time. Essentially it would be like if you started an IRC chat room and started inviting people you knew who where into the same stuff as you. Then had them invite a random person and so on and so forth.

I'm sure there's some elaborate reason behind it though. The whole show has been using 6 degrees of separation so I'm sure they'll try and tie it into how Dollars was started.

Well think of it this way.

If it's this awesome now and it can keep this quality all the way (this each episode just about better than the last) just imagine how much win we're in for the future.

Same here! xD

I liked the expansion of Mikado's character, but I felt this episode to be quite slow. I mean, it's definitely not my favorite but it did reveal some revealing parts. xD

The animation sucked, especially with Kida's face. So 3/5 for this episode.

Good to have you back DeathfireD....... I see so it's more in the direction of creating a social group that turns out into a gang that wants nothing to do with a normal living.....kind of like pure freedom? I am assuming something like that but in truth the real reason is what I want to know about.....the 6 degrees of separation....I did not really understand that but each degree has to do with a particular element of development?

It sorta reminded me of that too! :P But did anyone else think that Mikado was going to say that he would be the God of the new world after his "I..."? The lighting was perfect, too. xD Gah...it reminded me of the scene too much.

Anyway, epic episode as usual. Izaya and his invisible motorcycle made my day and Selty's kick was better than anything Chuck Norris could do~ Can't wait for next episode after hearing what's going to happen next!

You gotta watch the quiet ones... ALWAYS!
Mikado has revealed his true colours, which incidentally is none.
Could someone do a side-by-side of Mikado's lightning mouse and Light's lightning pen? :D Oh, and I'm already seeing an AMV Hell clip: Mikado: "Keikaku doori!" *Light's grin*

As for the Baccano as performed by Durarara cast...
Mikado as Jacuzzi Splot
Izaya as Ladd Russo
Shizuo as Claire Stanfield (these two are really pretty much interchangeable, I just put Shizzy as Claire because..)
Celty as Chane Laforet
Walker as Isaac Dian
Erika as Miria Harvent
Shinra as Maiza Avaro, or possibly Huey LaForet
Celty's head as Czeslaw "Thomas" Meyer (just got a feeling seeing as he was scared shitless before Celty)
Kida as Firo Prochainezo
Anri as Ennis (kinda sketchy but meh)
Simon as Luck Gandor
Yagiri Namie as Szilard Quates
Yagiri Seiji as Dallas Genoard, on the grounds that nobody likes them.

This list is of course freely debatable but if you sit down and think about it, the characters do sort of add up... Oh, and feel free to add characters/corrections if you want to :P

Edit: Deleted 'that nickname' as requested. It will still show in quotes tho :P

LOL with your DurararaxBaccano comparison...I will join this game XD
Namie as Szilard,that old fart?I don't think so & she much like an evil version of Ennis (Namie VA is same as Ennis VA ^^)
Izaya as Ladd is quite wrong lol...he more like Claire with his mannerism & speech.
So does Shizuo...Graham Specter is much fitting him except he don't like violence.
Anri is a combination of Eve&Ennis personality.
Walker&Erika cheerful personality really remind me of Isaac&Miria but when they torturing people they much like Tick & Maria
Kida is definitely associated with Firo (I mean look at his hairstyle)
Seiji is Dallas is true...nobody likes him despite being lover-boy.
Kasuka is like Huey Laforet just with his appearance.

If some of the Baccano! cast especially the Immortals came to Japan & meet up with Durarara!! cast,that would be epically awesome.Graham Specter vs Shizuo anyone?

I had Izaya and Shizzy as Claire and Ladd, respectably at first (and they do seem to be more compatible that way). Like I said, I just switched them because of ShizzyXCelty and ClaireXChane relations. No marriage proposals from Shizuo yet tho

Hmm, no arguments here..

Gotta admit I was thinking of the cheerful type when I wrote this
Kagura89 said:

Got jack on him personality-wise though. Personality-wise Huey is a cold, calculating person, seeing his own daughter as a mere tool and whatnot. (Didn't Chane monologue that Claire was the only one who'd ever said that he loved her?)

That would be a bit one-sided, don't you think? Seeing as Graham Spector was not immortal, he'd be nearing his 100th birthday or so..

Quite the twist... wasn't expecting Mikado to be anymore than a weak side character far from the action. So this is something I'm glad took place, since I actually liked his character regardless, so giving him a bigger role... EPIC!!!

also Izaya did came to look for "someone" on the 3rd episode. :'P hehe
