| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- BASED Izaya. I'm always glad to see him in a bit of action.  Quite a bit of a complicated story angle with Izaya influencing the many events. I think this woman also underestimated him a bit: Mikage is still badass as ever. |
 |
| HiroC's character back in action. He was requested to investigate info. about mysterious lady group. He met his sisters. Those guys who HiroC's character invited to join Dollars look suspicious. It looks like they were using HiroC's character by following where he goes and find those lady group. Wait, who is that HiroC's character outside when the real HiroC's character's been captured on purpose?? A lady with red eyes... same ability as Hanazawa-san's character? HiroC's character is happy to be information provider... is that for business or he really think so? His fighting ability shows that he's not only information provider... More about HiroC's character, especially when he was young., next. |

| Man great episode, Izaya is amazing. And next week some back story, looking forward to that. Whenever Izaya is involved directly in a episode, it's a fun watch. |
| Izaya is just too good. this episode was great. |
 |
| Awesome ep. Full of Izaya greatness XD I was honestly quite confused about the timeline this ep was taking place in and whether that was really Izaya under the sack bag. How Ran was talking in Izaya's tone over the phone totally made me think it wasn't Izaya under the bag ^^; Mikage kicking ass and Ran swinging the blond like that was BA. Izaya's dodging scene was cool too. I'm really curious about this Nakura. I know Izaya uses it as a Handle and seems he trolled Akane with it but it's probably a person Izaya knew or something. PS...That Blond bitch is quite hot :L |
 |
| wow Izaya being Izaya couldn't ask for more. Great episode. 5/5 |
| Izaya is a really twisted person you just got to love the way he operates and That fighting chick is bad ass she my type of women! |
| Doing what one likes is the right of the powerful. |
| Mikage is life Mikage is Bae |
| Doing what one likes is the right of the powerful. |
| This episode was so pleasing!!! XD An Izaya centered episode? Thank you very much. My love for Izaya is a bit odd, but I can't help it. >.< It's fun~! He's just so interesting, you know? And he's not bad looking either. Oops, I probably sound a little creepy... Well, whatever. I enjoyed this episode so much. That overrides judgement in my opinion. A lot of favorite parts of this episode. I loved his interactions with the twins and the trainer guy. And the parts with Shiki were great too. The whole kidnapping was amusing. I kept wondering what the trick was to it, but it was pretty simple. He just confused (*coughmanipulated*) them. I mean, he's so messed up obviously. But he's still my favorite character. Izaya episodes are the best! (Though I love episodes with Mikado's development... But I must say that I like Izaya more, which is definitely going to bite me in the a** eventually.) I literally cannot convey how happy this episode made me. I'm definitely an unabashed fangirl, and proud of it! Now, I'm in a very playful mood actually! ^_^ XD Edit: How the hell did I forget to mention next episode? It's another Izaya episode! I'm so excited! And it's the long awaited (for me) flashback of (probably) middle school. I'm really looking forward to it! |

His fighting ability shows that he's not only information provider... More about HiroC's character, especially when he was young., next. I'm pretty sure those parts take place at different times. It was meant to confuse us, so we would be just as surprised as they were to see that it really was Izaya under there. Well, that was probably the motive. Might not have worked on everyone watching, especially LN readers. I'm pretty sure Haruna (the Saika girl in the episode) was directly involved in the Saika scandal in season one. She's obsessed with her teacher, Takashi, I think? From what little I remember, that's probably how it is. She's not a new character at least. And she's not that important, I think. Well, gathering information on humans is what he likes and what he's best at. He has to be able to fight to defend himself since his profession and personality result in him having lots of enemies. I forgot to mention that in my comment before I read your post! Next episode looks interesting, ne? metsujin said: Man great episode, Izaya is amazing.

| A very good Izaya centric episode. |
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. |
| We are getting Izaya episode again next week again ! I was dumb enough to believe Izaya was in a pinch >.< So Izaya got a gang of his own who protects him ? I wonder what he really plans to do this time :O |
 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| I was looking forward to this episode, and it didn't disappoint! Glad to have an episode with Izaya. I enjoyed the action too. |
 |
| i couldn't care less about izaya, so this episode was not that interesting to me. |
 |
| It's nice to see Izaya get his own episode after being MIA for a majority of this season so far. He just proved in this episode why he's the king of trolls. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Izaya is always such a troll |
  |
| Was really enjoyable. |
 |
| Nice episode, Izaya captured? Funny joke, better shot him down and do not talk too much or in Shizuo's case punch him to death. Even the child of Saika is part of this mess. |
 |
| So, they decided not to make the scene wheres Izumii try to rape Eartworm. |
| Episode was boring. The whole series has been pretty boring thus far. |
 |
| Suicide squad starts moving :v |
| Finally, we got to see Izaya back to his usual dickisn but awesome self. Boring episode other than that though, which is kinda disappointing after last week. |
| Mikage is a beast, the female characters in Durarara are just awesome. I do enjoy Izaya's episodes a lot, seeing him in action again was a blast. He really does remind me of Araragi from the Monogatari series. Two imoutos, Kamiya Hiroshi as the VA, and just overall badass. |
 |
| So many new characters this late in the game. It seems more scum has wiggled into Dollars. The drug distributing gang is calling themselves a "shadow" of Dollars. And Izaya of course is in complete control of the situation despite being kidnapped. |
~my list
| Episode focused on Izaya <3 Our thought it would never see the end of this girl |
| izaya is a sauce boss. <3 |
| Is there anything which can help me better understand this series? I'm feeling really lost right now, heck, I've been lost since the very first season. I really want to understand the series better so I can actually start enjoying it. |
| A question for LN readers: Are we finally close to shit hitting the fan? |
 |
silverwalls said: i couldn't care less about izaya, so this episode was not that interesting to me. Agreed. |
 |
| Izaya action! Loved this episode. That blonde chick took a hammer hard. I love the way Izaya plays around with everyone. It's like the city is a board game and the characters are the player pieces and Izaya is playing with them by himself. |
| Wow he sure did no-sell that torment |
 |
| Ahahahahaha who the hell do they think they're dealing with? Izaya isn't going to get "captured" without a plan Next week, YOUNG IZAYA?? |
 |
| This week and next week revolve about Izaya. Interesting |
 |
| Oh Shit! The blonde woman, must've been painful . Fun to see Izaya in action though , nice ep. |
| Any episode with Izaya as main focus is an instant 10/10. I really liked how he fought against that Muscle head, he might really be the only one capable of killing Shizuo-chan. And I agree, Mikage is a hot babe, I would really like to date her though I might get killed by her brother. Next episode, we get a glimpse at his and Shinras past, looking forward to it. By the way, this Nakura, wasnt this used by Izaya as an alias back in the first season ? |
| an izaya centered episode is all it takes to make an episode really enjoyable. it literally flew by |
| 5/5 Amazing episode, knew from the very start Izaya was playing those amateurs. What I really found interesting was how this episode felt like filler but was pretty important |
 |
| Izaya Fucking Orihara.....This guy is out here making PLAYS!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't even fathom how awesome this episode was, holy shit!!! That blonde womanw as hot as fuck too |
| I was waiting the whole episode to see Izaya pull all of that. so obvious it was going to happen still was awesome tho. |
 |
| Izaya's League of Evil strikes back! |

| Izaya Greatness!! |
| Oh Izaya, too great~ Really nice to get an episode completely focused on him and his standard shenanigans. |
 |
| Izaya got captured now why do i doubt that but seriously he's genious in manipulation!! |
 |
| Oh man, I was so waiting for Izaya to fuck those underground people up especially after that blonde girl was being all high and mighty and I was glad something happened to them :P |
| Well that episode took some rewatching of scenes. Loooots of stuff going on. Great episode nevertheless! Guess it was time for Izaya to shine once again, being out of the game for a little while. |
| Wow. I . . . Wow. That's the best episode so far! Simply amazing! Everything's spot on! Oh, wow. I cannot stop saying wow. If this keeps up, this season could be better than the 1st one. And I am surprised they could fit so much things in this one episode yet managed to make it so tidy & flowed fluidly, unlike last part the previous season where everything was so all over the place. |
| I like anime. |
