LMAO at Izaya eating alone.
Also this episode was one of the best ones from X2 Shou. I really liked Shizuo's backstory on why he dyed his hair blonde and meeting Tom-san. Mikado and Masaomi's kid's voice was pretty awkward but Masaomi was pretty smart in dealing with the trio lol. I completely forgot Anri was friends with Harima so this was a good way to know their relationship.

5/5 OVA.

(I kinda wanted to know more about Izaya and Shizuo's high school life lol)

Poor Izaya, I almost feel bad for him. Namie-san, you could have eaten with him, dammit!

One of the best episodes of the DRRR!!x2 Shou season. Loved Shizuo's backstory and woah, before he dyed his hair he was so cute.
Beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure~.

And what about Masaomi as a kid. Oh my god, what a cutie.

Are all the blond characters in DRRR!! dyed or what? It would be funny if Vorona were also a brunette lmao.

He thought it's just private meeting, but it's nabe party with everyone.

Main guy and Mamo's character (whose voice is not Mamo) memory. He's a kind person.

Big breast girl being bullied and that head girl saved her, and when her power is born.

OnoD's character and that boss like character. OnoD's character is serious, and he's helping out with not getting in fight until meeting HiroC's character.

lol @ otaku group with situation game form, especially showing those other works.

So Celty does remember about what FukuJun's character wanted to say.

HiroC's character eating gorgeous nabe alone.

Love tree ED... literally (each character of nabe group holding heart(s)).

cool! I liked the OVA, but I was quite shocked to find that hair Shizuo is colored or bleached and unnatural blonde. I always thought it was natural blonde.
Also was surprised by the Friendship anri and harima, but the surprise with shizuo was higher.

Tom's the best. I love Tom. I'm just really glad Shizuo has a good friend in Tom. Like, a really good friend. Celty, Shinra, and his bro are okay, but I like that there's a sense that he can turn to Tom if he needs to. I mean, the guy got him his current job. Praise.

Also, I really liked this bit in the light novel; it was nice to see it animated. ;u;

Great episode. Finally i know more about Ryugamine & Sonohara's past

Sonohara looks so adorable in elementary school.


Tom is a really good guy, I don't know how it would be if Shizuo didn't meet him..


it would be better if they show Kadota, Togusa, Karisawa & Yumachi's past. Too bad they didn't show it.

I don't know if you realise that pure Japanese people (which the characters in Durarara are, except for Walker and possibly Tom, who are half-Japanese), have black hair in probably 90% of the cases (asian genes) and Russians such as Vorona and Slon and Roshiazushi crew have very fair skin and very often blond or light hair and light coloured eyes, blue, green or gray (slavic genes). I mean it's pretty obvious they dye their hair, especially as this is not one of the green haired characters animes :D

Love Mikado and Kida's past. Shizuo and Tom's were good too.

Harima was just as creepy when she was a kid...and I liked how she used snitching as a weapon twice in a row with the same girl lol.

And Durarara really likes vertical scrolls in their endings.

Now go back to oshinigami's initial post and read carefully his/her question before the brunette part.

Secondly, I was talking to oshinigami.

And lastly, what blonde Asians 'the fuck' are you talking about?

Maybe it was just the translation I watched, but it felt like the Anri/Harima flashback suddenly cut into "Anri has big boobs" "Do you like her just for her boobs?"
I mean, was the conversation about Harima having to become a bad girl to contrast Anri somehow related to that?

It wasn't a conversation, the Anri flashback was just her remembering it, she didn't actually tell that to Mikado. At that point, the Anri's memory fades out, and we cut back into reality, where Harima and Seiji have been teasing Mikado offscreen.

Also, there's only 2 translations (in english at least), one from kuroi_hi in 2 parts on tumblr, then one from [zzz] that was loosely based on the previous translation and the vn omake translation. The [zzz] release would be the one found on kissanime, probably the one you saw.

Mikado should really stfu about Kida. He's out of the picture now. Kida's like Kamina.. he's a cockblocker. As long as he's around Mikado will never grow and bring out the Simon inside him.

Anyways good OVA. Got to know a bit more about these people. Kinda feel bad for Izaya though. Eating alone.

That was great, this bunch is really lovely


“Read as little as possible of critical or aesthetic works. They are either products of a close-minded spirit, petrified and devoid of meaning in their lifeless hardening, or clever verbal games [...]. Works of art are of an infinite solitude; nothing is worse than criticism for approaching them. Only love can grasp them, keep them, be just toward them. Always give precedence to your own feeling against these analyses, these reviews, these introductions. [...] You must let every impression, every seed of feeling, ripen within you, in the dark, in the inexpressible, in the unconscious, those regions closed to understanding. Wait with humility and patience for the hour of the birth of a new clarity. Art demands of its faithful followers as much as of its creators.”

Kid Masaomi looks so different but acts so much the same jaja.

Oh, Mika was sassy as well when just a child... how come all these kids are so straightforward when so young? Oh yeah, sorry, I always forget I'm watching anime jajaja.
BTW, are those bullies the same girls that tease Anri in the present? You know, the ones with angel wings jackets or something? One of them has black ink in her eyes.

"Do you have a thing for Anri or do you have a thing for Anri's chest?", Seiji, asking the real questions here xD
PD: I still think SeijixMika is a unhealthy and toxic relationship.

So Tom was the mastermind behind how Shizuo is today!

Erika and Walker improvising a fanfic...
"It's people like you who give fuyoshis a bad name" xD

Ohh, poor Izaya is going to eat alone... I feel sorry for him... Nope. That's what you get by being like you are xD Git gud Izaya!

Oh, that was a quite interesting ED. I didn't expect it!

NOTE: I watched this after EP 04 of Durarara!!x2 Shou.

Dat whore.

We get more Shizuo backstory.

LMAO at the one gang member on the roof looking like Randall from Recess.

LMAO at Walker and Erika messing with Kyouhei.

Kyouhei has waifu's now. I don't think fans of those series would be happy. lol

So Izaya did get his hot pot.
