| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I like the OP song already and it was a nice way to reintroduce the main characters. Very happy to see Celty back of course. Actually, I think the best parts of the episode involved her whether it's the Engrish or just her being herself. A refreshing start with a decent amount of comedy. Lol, police are still looking for Celty.. Poor Ikebukuro. RIP normal life. Definitely a fun start and looking forward to more. Oh and I like Celty's horse. Good ED theme as well. |
 |
| That was a great first episode! The OP and ED are both awesome! |
| OP w. flashback from first season and similar style of coolness. Celty chase stealing the attention of TV from that new character (a talent)'s interview. 6 months after 1st season, huh... A horrible news and that group rarely appeared in first season is talking about light novels as always. Massaging? lol @ FukuJun's character's father remarried to a foreign lady, who does the massaging of Celty. Seeing Celty making main guy remember the time seeing her with Mamo's character. There's also another new character (Shimono-san's character, probably?) ED with similar scrolling style. |

Stark700 said: RIP normal life. Welcome to Ikebukuro. OP and ED animation did not change from the first season. Something does not need to be changed. Official commercials. The van's new door is Mahouka (why?). A lot of new characters introduced in this season. Can't wait to discover more about them. Celty and Shinra's interaction is cute as usual. Mikado is poetic as usual. Izaya just as sadistic, and others retain their personality. Ah, 2015 is a year of DRRR cliff-hangers. |

| Kyaa! Chikage is in the opening! >.< But I don't like how different Izaya looks... |

| Ahhh never get tired of all the references. |
 |
| Out on crunchyroll now |
| I forgot this series would aired today O.O Holy shit, off to watch it right now >.> |
 |
| Damn,so many references. Never been much of a Durarara fan (always preferred Baccano tbh),so hope this cour will be better than S1. Okay episode,not much happened just Celty being chased around & reintroduction/appearances of characters from S1. |

| Cool first episode. Liked the opening and a bunch of characters introduced. Dem references doe! XD Gotta love that Celty fanservice ;) The visuals of the ending is just like the old one but the music is very differently. It makes it feel kind of weird. |

| I forgot how much I love Celty :3 She was extra cute and Hot this ep <3 Dat seduction and squishy Body *A* and Dem "blushes" when the black smoke puffs out XD Shinra's one lucky bastard having her as his "wife" technically. Dat Emilia :O what a clumsy cute hot waifu :3 And Celty being Jelly was kawaii. Poor her at the end losing the money XD Loved seeing the Otaku group again XD TAMNI! Black bullet, GGO, OreImo and Mahouka lol XD |
 |
| *all caps mode activated* It was just pretty awesome to see everyone again! Erika and Walker with their talk and just the rest of the Kadota gang! Celty seems busy as always with addition to a mother-in-law! Fun episode and interesting as always! |
 |
| Great first ep..really brought back the atmosphere from the first season and it felt like a nice transition. id watch this show just for celty alone :D i just wish they woudl stop talking about anime like The irregular at magic high school and SAO. they were both shit.one much more than the other. |
| Well the tagline for this episode was "nothing has changed", and I think I'd agree. This episode keeps with the last season almost perfectly. Celty is still charming Izaya is still a devious bastard Shizuo still gets way too little screen time Shinra is still an idiot Mikado is still irrelevant Kyouhei and his gang are still more likable than the 3 main characters 4/5 Entertaining first episode. Establishes the tone and nature of Ikebukuro very well. Felt like returning home :) |

| I'm so happy that it feels just like the 1st season. I love Celty so much. I want to read everyone's reactions to the episode but I'm afraid of seeing more spoilers. I was going to read the novels before season 2 started but I never got around to doing it. And last I saw, volumes 11 and 12 weren't translated. |
| I am so happy DRRR is back!but damn,it has been four years since i watched it so i totally forgot about some things... Anyway,it's nice to see Celty and Shinra being cute:* also,Samurai Flamenco...bless. |
| The feels... Celty was awesome, as usual. New OP is great, and the ED is alright... hopefully this lives up to the hype! ^^ |
| damn! this was awesome and it still feels like durarara, dis gonna be good |
| :3 |
| Wait! who were the two sisters, with one pepperspraying the other?? Did i just Forget them or are they new?? |
| Shirayuki= Most Perfect Female MC ever |
| Great first episode, Ed is awesome. All those cameos though, and goddamn Celty has a fine body. Man I've missed all these characters. Feels good to be back. |

|
| Mahouka ლ(ಠ_ಠლ) At first I was like "eh" on the opening but the more I listen to it the more I like it haha I've felt the chronology in the episode was quite baccano-ish, did the first drrr! season also had it, since I don't remember? |
| One must wonder what happened between this and baccano, did the author just became terrible at writting? was baccano actually good because of the adaptation or is drr adaptation actually bad? I dunno, either way, this was bad as expected. |
| Beautiful, just beautiful. Not one flaw in the first episode. Amount of references were insane, and there's still more in store. Also, the OP might just grow on me. ED wasn't that bad, but it just felt weird with the visuals imo. DRRR fans rejoice! |
 |
| They are back! *.* DRR as always subtly promotes other anime series! :) That ending! Is like right in kokoro! Really nice start! Can't wait to see next episode! |

| I am so happy to have this show back omg ;w; I got so happy when the OP/ED had a similar layout to the first season's!!! Like yeeeeee. I missed everyone (Esp Masaomi asdfghj), and I can't wait to see the other characters (I'm an anime-only watcher, so I'm probably not as informed as most of you, maybe...) Welp, good episode. I am happy. abyss333 said: Wait! who were the two sisters, with one pepperspraying the other?? Did i just Forget them or are they new?? They're the Orihara twins :D (So, Izaya's sisters.) They appeared in an OVA of DRRR once. |
| Loved all the anime references they had in this episode. (Won't lie, I gasped pretty loudly when I saw Aldnoah.Zero) I forgot how much I loved seeing Mikado and Anri interact with each other, just seeing the together kind of added more love for this episode. Quick question. Is Kida a supporting character in this season? We didn't see much of him and I have a feeling that we won't see much of him at all in season 2. |
| Wow.... Nostalgia... This was awesome... I can not believe that I am gonna watch more Durarara for one more year... This feels so good to be true... Just wow, episode 5/5, first season vibes, just omg..... so awesome. Great OP and ED as well... |
| Holy fucking shit. I love this. 6/5 |
| Goddamn i missed this show. the ED is fucking glorious, Best ED of the season. |
| Season 2 is out! I'm so happy!! :D Loved both; the OP and ED A serial killer? Hmm... Interesting Poor celty gets in trouble and loses 1mil ¥ Celty x Shinra forever Can't wait for episode 2! |
 |
| I have been waiting for this anime to begin. This was a good first episode. Yep nothing has changed indeed. Can't wait for the next episode. |
 |
| It was really awesome! Glad to see everyone again especially Celty. And the new characters are fun too. Love the OP and ED as always! |
 |
| BASEDDURARARARA already love the ost reminds me of baccano <3 |
| well it's Durarara . . . that's about all I have to say about this :> 4/5 I guess |
  |
| This is awesome, this is going to be one hell of ride. THE HYPE IS REAL |
 |
| The feels. This is gonna be so awesome. |
  |
| This episode was too awesome OP and ED were amazing |
| DRRR's back like nothing's changed, and I couldn't be happier. Actually I could be. Baccano sequel when? |
 |
| Lovin it. ED is pretty nice |
