OMG POOR ANRI WITH THE WHOLE SAIKA SITUATION! I honestly love how Aoba has things to hide, the first three episodes I didn't sense any major plot development (seeing as the first season's plot was a bit clearer in the beginning) but then once episode 4 hits everything is all like wushoooowushooooshoooshooooooo! Now entering major plot territory, brace yourselves for some escalating things you will start wanting to rant to your friends about, then urging them to watch it if they haven't!

I feel like this season has a lot of just monologues explaining character backgrounds and situations. Like it is doing a lot more telling than showing.

That doesn't bug me as much as the skewed timeline.

I understand non-linear storytelling played a part in the first season, but this is a little over the top. I mean, it's been 4 episodes, and how many days are supposed to have past?

That was a fun episode. Certainly one of the more action based ones we've seen.

Shinra and Celty have gotten a lot closer than I realized. As for Aoba, I figured he was just really interested in the Dollars, now it seems he has his own agenda. Clearly he's very similar to Izaya. And speaking of Izaya, he's sat out for quite a while. After hearing about the hot pot dinner, it sounds like he wants back into the game. I think Izaya is taking a liking to Namie. I'd love to see a relationship bloom there.

I think the only difference this season really has is that it feels like it lost a lot of the mystique that the first season had.

Has the animation gotten a lot worse or what? :S Idk maybe it's because I'm watching a 720p version on a 1080p screen? I mean I don't think that'd really make a big difference though ... D:
Anyway, kind of a boring episode to me. Everyone gets saved, Celty does her thing and so does Igor! Pretty cool to see him interact with the twins lol :P Some cooking and chat stuff, Celty and Shinra being all cuddly, then finally some interesting stuff at the end with Izaya and Aoba both plotting. Not to mention Anri's blade is getting out of control ...?
Hope next week's episode is more interesting :3

It's literally been only two days. Pay a little more attention to the time the scenes happen in and what people say. Like when Mikado and Anri planned taken Aoba sightseeing the day after his first school day, or when Shinra comes back home at dawn gets trapped by Celty who then goes to pick up Ruri, drop her off then pick Egor(in a bag) leading to her getting chased along Mikado and van gang by the Bikers.

Ryugamine's dark side is gonna appear !! I'm so hype for this >_<

Aoba showing his true colours now. Awakusu-kai searching Ruri's EX CEO, Yadogiri Jinnai.

Anri showed "love" to Ryugamine and Kida. That's why Saika is so difficult to control.

Mairu, Kururi and even Namie joined Dollars chatroom.

I guess next episode we will move to Akane Arc.

Oh, so Ruri power is kinda similar to Celty, but unlike her, she have a physical body. Maybe she can just move the armor?

Izaya being so lonely, that he lie about being to a hot-pot. That's some kind of new low x)
But hey, his sisters are hot and into incest, he's a pretty lucky guy!

So, his that dangerous guy that Celty was talking about the dude with the scar in the OP? We saw him at that gang meeting. She said that he's the white biker gang leader.

I think that Aoba is kind of misunderprating Ryuugamine, he's not really the kind of dude who would want a war... :P

Not a bad episode, it was funny. The fighting scenes were awesome; the art however of both Ruri and Yuuhei was terrible this time. Oh new guy is planning to take Izaya out; that should be fun to watch.

And the inner Sadist awakens.

I do find it dope that the Orihara twins got Egor as a Baggage boy/Maid.
now their crew is equivalent to a strategic class weapon.

and it seems they pissed Izaya of by not inviting him to the Hop Pot party.
see what you guys have done, you've awaken an angry and hungry fiend. =(

So is Aoba the younger brother of Izaya? Cause he dreaded at the thought of his "older brother" and right before that he insulted Izaya as if he harbours lots of hatred towards him and as if he knows him very well. This leads me to believe they're siblings. But I think Aoba should sit his inexperienced delinquent ass down cause Izaya gets shit done professional way, so that's why I think he doesn't stand a chance even with his crew.


Aoba's brother hasn't shown up yet.


Aoba's brother was quite prominent during the Yellow Scarf arc of the first season. Different surname.

Different surname. Japanese divorce law works quit differently. Everyone is registered into family registry. When you're born, your name is added to your family's registry. When the parent divorces, the spouse that come into the registry goes back to their original family (this can be either the husband or wife. It's not uncommon for a husband to be married into his wife's family and take up their name). The children of the divorced couple must choose one family and their name is moved to that family. Thus Izumi and Aoba have different surname.
