| Aww yeahh, welcome to Ikebukuro!! Words can't describe how ecstatic I am for this series. |
     |
| Oh man, I missed out on all these references from the first season?! I was too much of an anime noob then hahaha. I forgot so much from the first season. Might have to read some episode summaries to catch myself back up. I don't even remember why Kido isn't hanging out with those two anymore.. I really like both the OP and ED. |
| I can't wait for more, THREE COURS FUCK YEAH Battlechili1 said: OP was fantastic. Also correct me if I heard it wrong, but did I hear Kadota say that he liked the light novel "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute"? no that was Yumasaki, Kadota likes Toaru Majutsu no Index (and Erika likes Mahouka) |

| I wasn't anticipating a second season but they can't mess this up. Just make it as vapid as possible. It's all about the characters doing messed up less than conventional stuff. Nothing and Everything happens in this episode. Lets continue |

| it's been so long since I've heard this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFE6aCdqVrg&list=PLBF45965252DF8D2C&index=2 op and ed could have more beat but awesome!!!! so happy that it's back! it's got pretty much the same atmosphere as the first season. good. |

| this episode reminded me of why celty is best girl |
| a new mom.lol it's back.... but this show is always good to watch a few episodes together. always jumping here and there, the timeline... |
| Love this anime. |
| Woot, Durarara is back! Very enjoyable first episode. I never realized how stacked this group of seiyuus for this series is until recently. O.o Definitely do like the opening and ending. |
 |
| FINALLY THE SHOW I"VE BEEN WAITING FOR !! |
| Glad that this anime is back... Seems like a lot of new characters were added this season... I hope that there would be an Orihara Izaya background story this season, since most of the characters from season had one except for him. |
| Glad durarara is back! the ED is pretty good. I wonder what will happen in the next episode, and the new transferred student looks likely become a important character as well |

| Ahhhhhh it's so good to be back |
 |
| Amazing start, brought back the Durarara nostalgia :P Missed this show so dang much, its characters, the city, the art, the music.... all of them. Improved art and animation is superb, the music, ost is great, reusing some old tracks from season 1, and the OP and ED sound extremely good, especially the OP, love how it retains its format of recapping what happened previously. Celty meeting Mikado was nostalgic ^.^ |
| This was as great as I expected it to be. I really love the opening too! |
| Felt SO good to have Durarara back, man. I loved it. It still had all the things I loved about the previous seasons. I can't wait for the next episode where we're introduced to one of the new characters. |
 |
| Great first start. Can't wait for the introduction of the other new characters and Kida's return. I wonder how the story will progress and if the Dollars will play a role (I at least hope so). |
| at last XD poor celty lost her money.. Izaya must be involved |
 |
| A bit too packed, and not enough details for the main story yet. But overall... it was a decent restart. It's good to have you back, Drrr!! |
| Izaya <3 |
 |
| I guess this was intended to get viewers back in the groove of the series as it basically re-introduced characters and the like. Enjoyed the focus on Celty, since she's one of my favorite characters in the series that, I feel, was severely underutilized in the first season. Well, that's how I remember it anyway. |

A pretty significant part of why I didn't like the second half as much as the first, I'd say. That and I seem to recall Izaya and Shizuo didn't do as much. |

insan3Inquisitor said: They did actually. Izaya did more than Shizuo though (Izaya is almost like he has the entire city in his hands, playing with it as he pleases), and also, they weren't fighting with each other.StrayBotato said: She was somewhat ignored in the latter parts of first season, yes. A pretty significant part of why I didn't like the second half as much as the first, I'd say. That and I seem to recall Izaya and Shizuo didn't do as much. The main trio took the spotlight too which is why it seems the rest of the characters didn't do much, I feel. Like Monogatari, enjoyment with this series depends on the characters you like so yeah. |
|
| When you call them the "main trio" that makes me worried. The only one I remember liking was Mikado, because the whole Dollars twist was pretty cool, so I hope this series kind of spreads the love a bit more like the first half of the first season/Baccano did. |

| DRRR is finally back!!!! This first episode was awesome, seeing everyone back again. Not sure how i feel about the op and ed yet...ill give it some time to grow on me. |

I said that because their conflict/issue/whatever you wanna call it was the focus of the second half. The first half was an intro for the major characters/players in the city, same with Baccano (Baccano was only 16 episodes so it only covered the introduction, actually), that's why. I haven't read the novels but I assume each arc will focus on some characters more than the others. |
|
| Well... at least I'm not the only person who disliked the first episode. OP en ED were mediocre at best, didn't like them. Looks like they tried to fit in as much new (and old) character introductions as they could in this episode. Also, totally uninteresting fanservice with Celty boobs... I don't care :/ |
| Amaaazing ! *o* I have a feeling this may be better than a first season ! Seeing them all again is more awesome than I though...<3 ~ Now waiting for next episode whole week is too painful, gah ! And that ending...<33 Fucking epic ! *raping repeat button* ^^ |
 |
| Hmmm. Not bad for a first episode, but there was a little too much things stuffed in. I didn't find the same feeling as with the first season. Before it felt like every character has their own place and everything happened for a reason that was found out later. Now it just tossed all the known characters and some new ones on the screen without much consideration. I hope the second episode collects the threads again. |
 |
| Oh yes, I am ready. The re-intro was great, and the new Characters look fun too (recognized some Seiyuu). |

| .Yeah. Baby girl Celty is back in action. and Vorona :D So many anime references, lol, most of them I didn't even enjoy. XD |
| For some reason, the first thing that came to mind when they mentioned the serial killer was Ladd Russo. Not his MO at all, though. Masks? Who cares about wearing masks! |
 |
| Shit, almost 5 years passed now I don't remember almost everything... |
| Aw man. This reminded me of how the slow episodes of Durarara tend to drag on FOREVER. But I can't stop watching. |
Snaita said: Shit, almost 5 years passed now I don't remember almost everything... hahahha, so true. They did a great job in setting the vibe! Durarara always had a different aura than most series I've seen, and it seriously doesn't feel like 5 years have passed since season 1! So excited for this showwwww. :) |

| Loved this first episode how it was great at reminding you what exactly happened. It's been 5 years since the first season so I certainly appreciated having a little update here and there. Seeing Celty again was perfect, love her and Shinra, and the CEO (forget his name) was hilarious I thought. Can't wait to see how this season unfolds as I know nothing of the source material, so this will be completely new and fresh to me. That serial killer "Hollywood" sounds interesting and grim to. |
| Loved the first episode. It's been years since I finished the first series so I'd forgotten a few things here and there but didn't feel completely lost at any point. OP's kept the flashy character name shots which is a treat. ^^ |
 |
| Heh, 5 years for y'all but it's like 2 weeks for me. Not gonna have any issues leaping back on board with this |
 |
| Hell yeah, we're back in Ikebukuro! Life there is crazy as usual. I really liked this episode. It was nice to see all characters, their life, relationships. Celty the most, of course. As shown in OP/ED, there are some new characters, seems interesting. I really liked how they talked a bit about Shizuo's brother, I'd like to get to know some characters better. Talking about OP and ED (I was really hoping that they won't be as boring as Tokyo Ghoul 2nd season opening) they are great. The opening perfectly fits the anime, and I was pleasantly surprised when the ending had the same structure as in 1st season. Looking forward to the next week's episode! |
| Sandshelt Max sure is Isaac lol |
 |
| Weee, I was looking forward this so long. It was great, just what I wanted. It really felt like if the first season ended just recently. I'm curious about what's going to happen next and I can't wait to see new characters in action. The only thing that disappointed me is that everybody looks pretty much the same, just Izaya got new character design. I liked the old one much better -sigh- He looks like teenager now... |
