Good episode, but I feel like too much is happening in a single episode even though it's not. Anyways, somehow that grin Mikado had was creepy, he may be more twisted than i thought.
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...

Great episode. Kadota to the rescue.
Celty using her black webs to trap those bikers was cool.
Hot-Pot Party. Looks like a lot of fun.
Don't mess with Shizuo or else you are going to pay.
Aoba wanting to get rid of Orihara Izaya.

First half of the episode was relentless with the awesome. Second half was cool in its own way tho.

Although, is it just me or did the animation get significantly worse?

This episode was boring as hell. It seemed that lasted 1 hour.

And Izaya will start to move. Great. Not that I'm a huge fan of him, but the show needs him.

I liked Izaya and Namie interaction at the end, as well as Aoba thing, the rest was meh.

Once again Izaya promises to do something interesting, too bad last time he did that nothing happened at all.

So here we go. We have Kyohei to the rescue during Celty's chase scene which leads to under a bridge where Celty fights the bikers but then Kyohei wants to help out along with Mikado and Anri but Egor and Ruri already got things covered. This ends with Shizuo beating up the bikers and Celty getting her money back.

Since Anri and Erika can't cook what Celty wants, they invited Mika, but since fish takes too long, they went for a hot-pot where most of the characters appeared. Kururi and Mairu then tease Izaya that he was not invited. So he decides to invite Namie, but she's busy looking at the Dollar's chat room.

Oh, that's how Anri stabbed Egor.
There's this guy named Yodogiri that's causing trouble for people like Shiki.
Aoba is associated with the Blue Squares and he's going after Izaya.
But as Izaya said, "Vacation's over, you miserable bastards."
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling.

So Izaya's sisters joined the chat room as well. It's weird how they all know each other but don't notice that when in the chat room (except for Izaya)


Celty knows that Anri is on the chat, and Mikado knows that Izaya is on it (and both know Masanomi is on, and vice versa). Izaya gave himself away in the first season to Mikado. The thing is Mikado really doesn't let on how much he does know. Still water and all that.

ah this was so good looks like a lot of stuff is about to happen "sparks are about to get let loose!" now that Izaya is taking the stage.

lol rip to the one guy that ripped Shizuo sleeve

all that and we end it off with a hotpot were everyone's enjoying themselves but Izaya

but Aoba targeting Izaya won't end well if this kid is all talk but lets see

Erika confirmed best girl without her hat. Every character in the otakumobile better bow down before her beauty.

Can't wait to see Mikado's true nature revealed.

I can't really say much else. Everything in this show is so perfectly paced that it's almost impossible to critique. It's like an amazing book.

Didn't you think that it fitted the comedy of this episode? It's the 4th episode, the people remaining are attracted to the story, so the animation team will focus their talents on the important episodes, episodes like this are enjoyed on the referential level and are sort of breather for the important scenes.

Edit: been meaning to comment on this for a while, but the Ori sisters online ID name reminded me. The younger is: Crazy, insane, confused; the elder sister is be madly in love; all the names are perfect for the personality of the people involved. That is one of the things that makes Kanji and this show so great.

Haha, I was thinking the exact same thing. "Swanky place you have there, Mr. Amuro. Oh, you don't fight at the moment? Have your butler serve you some more tea, then." :D

Also agreed on the animation, it's quite good.

This episode was okay IMO, but very enjoyable. I feel so bad for Izaya tho. I know he wanted to go to the hot party and just wish he could get some friends. But then again, he is Izaya so he will make more enemies than friends. And that Aoba character... ehhh.. Me Dislike Him. Trying to pick a fight with Iaya?! He will die if he does that! O.O

so that was all of volume 4....so let me get this straight....

Season 1 adapted 3 volumes in 24 episodes...... and they just adapted 1 volume in 4 episodes
according to Baka-Tsuki that was the whole hollywood arc.

Did they just take their sweet time with season 1 an flush it out with 24 episodes?

regardless at this rate they are gonna adapt 3 volumes per season, no bullshit :P

They mixed those volumes together and padded them out to fit 24 episode slots. They don't have the luxury of doing that this time.

Ohh~ The epic Golden Week arc next week~ So excited!! x3

And I've been waiting to see Aoba's slyness animated. Just a bit sad that the animation quality this time wasn't as good. ><

I need more Masaomi... I totally don't care about the twins; they are trying too hard to be 'not normal', so much so that it's hard to swallow. =/ But I love their voice acting for the chat. Apparently Kururi is still talkative but more classy and flowery with her words, while Mairu remains a minimalist but at least sounds like a normal person.

And Mikado's twistedness is finally revealed... A storm is approaching people!!

Great first half. I love the chase.

Izaya is alone. No one invite him for hot pot. Still need more Shizuo.
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

two groups trying to take down izaya?
and he wasn't invited to the nabe party.....
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy."

lol I love this so much!

Holy cow all the characters are all so unique and funny.

My most favorite is obviously Celty. Love her.

The next episode though... the title seriously taken right out of Steins;Gate's book.

"Nobody knows what the future holds."

I LOVE that quote. Can't wait to see what next episode brings xD

actually , people who read the light novel as me , are very disappointed !! i mean the light novel was beyond great , and you would never have any doubts on Aoba he was the boy extremely fascinated by his senpai regugami , childish helpless sweet caring , but then at the most non expected events surpriise!!!! he is a bad guy !

and here in they just announced it in the 4th episode !

and what is it with their faces ?


i was very excited to the second season although i knew everything , but , let's hope things will get better :(
