A bit of insight on Varona this episode especially in regards with her previous encounter involving Shizuo. Interesting. If she ever fights against him again ....

Always lovely to see her kick some ass though.
Loved seeing her in action this episode:

Wow, OnoD's character's rumors... That assassin lady is now working in Russian sushi restaurant.

The little girl wants to be strong, but she knows OnoD's character is kind... so contradicting. The yakuza guy brought her to dojo, so they met those twins.

She met OnoD's character so soon as he and that another guy came to the restaurant to eat. The owner suggested them to add her in the team.

She is strong, which surprised both of them. He doesn't need to act at all. She got to talk to him normally, too. They met those who went to dojo.

Attacking girls and lady.. but they are strong. They gave up. lol.

Back to main group next ep. Shmono-san's character and Mamo's character appearing too.

Varona tags along with Shizuo and Tom, and her thoughts are pretty interesting to hear. Akane also seems to be more familiar with Shizuo now. Decent episode.

Ahhh yes, this episode perfectly showcased why Vorona is my favorite girl...She's hot as fuck, she's pretty smart and she can also kick ass (For a human being that is)

Her new resolve regarding and partnership with Shizuo is really interesting and I'm really looking forward to seeing their dynamic with one another grow. This senpai and student thing is going to be great and I ship them together even more now

Overall, this episode and season continues to be freaking great, the rumors going around plus everything involving Izaya's sisters made me die xD Poor Akane still listening to Izaya and his trolling lol

Nice to get some more insight into Varona's character. She was one of the more interesting variables introduced in the last season, so seeing more of her here is great. Same for Akane as well. It's also pretty cool to see more of Shizuo's non-violent side for a change, especially with his interactions with Akane throughout the episode and those with Varona right at the end.

Still waiting for Shinra's episode and more Izaya though.

Interesting to see how Varona was involved to this extent.

Those rumours were gold, Shizuo having a girlfriend and a kid and with him involved with the yakuza.

Akane and Varona's rivalry could be fun!

Izaya just has to be a part of every episode in one way or another those rumours though

This might just be my favourite episode it didn't have all my favourite characters but it mixed most of them

Akane is just adorable and thanks to her we get to see part of Shizuo-chans nicer side

Then we have Varona my favourite girl she is so strong smart and hot and so cool her interactions with him are so good I really hope she falls for him but it's only a matter of time until he realises who she is

A fight between Akane and Varona for Shizuo would be hilarious

I loved all of Toms misunderstandings really funny
Do I detect jealousy
It will probably go away when he realises they want to kill him anyway

It was also nice to see the twins again always trying to figure stuff out about everyone

Something else I picked up on was that it seemed like Tom didn't want Shizuo to know Izaya had been stabbed I wonder why

The fight was funny and it was really sweet to see Varona in action

Finally onto Shizuo he shows his nice side this episode which was cool to see, I loved his smile and it would be great if he smiled more often

I probably just missed it earlier but I had no idea Tom's boss was the owner of Russia Sushi

The idiocy of the people spreading the rumors was hilarious. It was nice to see a positive evolution regarding Shizuo and Varona's relationship. I highly doubt she's gonna quit trying to kill him though.......

-Akane-chan and Varona both wanting sole ownership of being the person that kills Shizuo was odd and funny to see.

-My favorite thing about Durarara is seeing characters you wouldn't expect to meet each other meet each other.

-What the heck did Shinra get himself into this cour? All we know so far is that he goes on a daytrip with Celty, gets chased by something on said daytrip, then is depressed when Shizuo checks up on him O.O

Loving this season way more than last :D

All dem rumors lol...but they are quite true ^^;

Akane was so kawaii when she was hitting Akabayashi on the back for introducing her to the twins XD And her look at Varona when she was patted by Shizuo was totally "Let the catfight/war commence between us :P"

Finally more twin screentime. I'd love if Mairu taught her the thumbtacks technique XD
lol'd at her "Can I hug her?" when she saw Varona XD

Dem Varona fight scenes tho. She's so friggin hot. And the animation was awesome during those scenes :3 I guess it's in her benefit that Shizuo doesn't remember her. Looking forward to her new life with Shizuo-senpai XD Let the ship sail :3

Tom misunderstanding Shizuo as being popular with the ladies when he's actually their prey was lol

Poor Shinra his honey moon doesn't seem to be going well at all ^^; Can't wait to see it from his perspective. That's gonna be a great ep.

I really wanted to see Shizuo's reaction to Izaya getting stabbed D:

Enjoyed this episode quite a bit. Shizuo get's to be a Senpai lol. It was nice to see the girls getting more time to shine this week in the action department. It feels kind of strange though that we've gone through four eps so far and barely any of the main three have been involved but it's nice to give more characters some screen time.

Why? Shizuo would talk something like this: "What? That worm was stabbed? Excuse-me I'm going to crush him right now!" and then Tom would have another problem to deal with.

This episode was interesting and in the next one will be more about the Dollars, I can't wait.

This felt a lot more like Durarara than the last few episodes.
Typical Shizuo doesnt recognize Varona.
Varona and Akane both wanting to kill Shizuo for their own reasons; know they cant currently, so try to get close to him.
Hmmm it seems to me those kidnappers were probably hired by Izaya.

Izaya "Bitch please"
Izaya's siblings: "Yeah! You tell them big brother!"
The Shizuo Fanbase: "No! He's mine!"
Tom: "W-whats going on?"

Shizuo getting a little harem is awesome and I'm pretty sure no one who values their lives wants to mess with them XD

Seriously. This was a good episode of DRRR!!, better than what we've had so far (though that wasn't all too bad either) but ya know, till the main trio gets back in full force I can't say I'm gonna give it a 9 or 10. Sidestories are good, but it's becuase they're *side* stories.

Vorona seems interesting now that she calmed down a little, I like how she can't live without purpose in life. Shizuo is great as ever and It's nice to see more of his personality. His thoughts about his strength being just physical and thus less respectful are so true. This reasonable view about himself is one of my favorite features of Shizuo.
Best episode so far.

Shizuo x Veronica or Shizuo x Akane?
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.
