Hmmm, so THAT was the slasher ? At least the current person cursed by the blade ? Not that impressive.

Still, the first part in documentay-style was quite original and the second part was extremely well-paced and directed. And I finally understood part of the story with Niekawa Haruna (the journalist's daughter...) and her teacher that Kida revealed last ep. Overall, that was a very entertaining episode.

In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same.

I agree. I never read the novels, so it helps not to compare it to anything.

I wish they didn't change the theme songs. I used to listen to the opening and ending theme every time but now i just skip over it. It degrades the quality of the anime I feel.

this episode was pretty epic explaining more about the Slasher and how it kinda works even though we don't have most of the details yet. Also Anri gets attacked a lot for no reason. And wow it looks like normal humans can turn into the slasher. And Shizuo was talked about a lot in this episode as well we already know that in that chatroom Celty,Izaya and Mikado all talk about the events in the city.And how the slasher keeps on appearing in that chatroom.

-Oh Shizuo and your "Kill kill kill kill kill" and your "there is a 0.000000000000000000000675% chance of killing someone with a stare"...


That's why I love Shizuo. He is just to adorable! Even if he is that short fused. He is my favorite character!!

I was surprised about the aparition of Shiki from Awakusu-kai in this chapter. But well,if Awakusu Kai will appear in DRRR!!,it will be in a second season,for sure.
I think that Shuji was the narrator and had a very extense introduction is because he is very related to all the Slasher stuff in some way, and he also was searching for the strongest man in Ikebukuro (the same as the Slasher,as we can see).
Haruna's face creeps me out.
And the end (Shizuo's final beat to Shuji) left me frozen and almost crying,I dunno why,the final "Crack" turn me creeped.
Actually I really hype with this series. I still finding it very awesome,tough,and I hype.

I love Celty and Shizuo's relatonship. Listening to Celty talk about Shizuo was pretty cute.

I feel pretty bad for the reporter getting possessed. He just wants to make his daughter happy. But now we know that the Slasher can possess people. Scary stuff. Living in Ikebukuro is no walk in the park.

Seeing Shizuo and Celty together always put a smile on my face, to think these two are such good friends their personalities are so different.

So that slasher is some kind of disease or what, it seems the last person who get cut get possessed.

I think I heard broken bones -_-

yay more shizuo~~
this episode was really good. drrr is getting better and only better.
it seems like the slasher thing is something that passes onto people somehow.
that may be why saika-san on the chat suddenly say he wants shizuo.
really glad that shizuo got more time on this episode, seeing that recently, he hasnt been that important.

and otaku gang is always awesome~~

Was 99% sure that Anri would be the reporters daughter. I guess it would have been too obvious if they did do that.

Uh, the reporter's daughter is Niekawa Haruna. The reporter is Niekawa Shuji. Anri is...well Anri Sonohara. The connection is that somehow the Slasher follows Anri. And the Slasher is possessing(?) the reporter.

It's getting more and more difficult to keep track of the character relationships in this series already.
I could only recall that that reporter and Haruna have the same surname during the next-episode preview, and that they were in fact father and daughter ("ooooh so haruna's the daughter that that reporter was rambling about during the episode") 2mins after finishing the entire episode.

I fail. orz

Also, (though not too similar,) i couldn't help but think this:

I really likes this episode. I think it was one of the best.

I also like crazy sickos like the slasher so i guess this arc could go well for me.

Oh boy things getting interesting with Haruna appear in-front of Anri in next episode:
Took another one of her Haruna.....OMG that's her! She looks like she was raped, had a abortion and traumatized in forever way......wow O_O is all I have to say to her expression.....word cannot describe it anymore.


And for some reason her crazy look turns me on. I want to make crazy wild sex with her(yeah i know am crazy too).



Celty shows her girly side by not shutting up for a minute while talking to the reporter.
Anyway what with the Shizuo obsession? Ok he a crazy strong guy but why is that reporter so crazy about that and why is the slasher obsessed with him too? Maybe the slasher is obsessed with him because she read the notes of her father about Shizuo since she's his daughter and lives in the same house. Didn't expect her to stab after her own father.

After all this we still don't know how the whole slasher thing works. How exactly is the craziness transfered?

Another enjoyable episode. I found it rather disturbing when Saika came into the chat, especially with the added voicing this time around, when she kept saying, 'I love Shizuo'. I then liked how we were then shown Celty, Mikado, and Izaya paused over their keyboards, not at all sure what to say. I suppose they never expected that. An amusing point was when Niekawa was in Izaya's office/home, and he spluttered the tea he was drinking all over himself at hearing Izaya saying 'Shizu-chan'. Weirdly sweet how possessive Izaya is about him, and I'm not just saying that from a fangirl's perspective.

I loved it when Niekawa was interviewing Simon~ mainly with the way Simon pronounces everything. Going by how Russia Sushi's owner was coloured in, I'm assuming he'll have a bigger role as the series progresses. As in, this won't be a once off appearance. I've never heard of Shiki either, I don't think, so I'm guessing he'll be another character which will show up more often. While Erika and Walker only appeared for a short while, along with Togusa and Dotachin, they really did make the scene they were in. Walker blushing was adorable, and I loved the random Yotsuba reference. Heh, wonder how Togusa will react to the damage which was on inflicted on his poor ole van.

Best part was Celty describing Shizuo to Niekawa. Also, the cop guys is win. Is it just me or everyone else noticed that Kinnosuke Kuzuhara who scared the daylight of my Celty was actually asking Anri for an escort to make sure she would safely return home?

on second thought, he could be someone else, may be his family. since the Kuzohara I noticed earlier has a cut on his right cheek.

That reporter is NEVER going to forget his trips to Ikebukuro! Ouch. It was nice to see him make the rounds and as usual Izaya's appearance brings a smile to my face. But it feels like it's starting to drag a bit. I'm hoping for something more definitive soon.

This series is so awesome Im already dreading the ending. I hope they make a second season.

Shizuo is hilarious! The bike scene and then the punk fight were the best. If you have a .00000000000625% chance of dying from being stared at, you cant complain if you die from being beat up to death. LMAO

The reporter got owned so bad. Oh man, I love this series.


And you cant forget the Alien and Police-fearing headless rider. Cracks me up.

Not much went on in this episode but talking about what happened in the past few episodes, but this time it was from some random detective's point of view. Though I am curious why the Slasher is so interested in Anri.

I'll call it 'Slasher syndrome'.;)
It seems it's a virus, or a traveling, paricetic spirit.

Poor Anri, she has enough to deal with, yet her harrassment will be ongoing.

I'm loving the Shizuo violence scenes.:D
