| Nice to know that there's more to Kida that at first glance. Very interesting - especially his relation to that girl in the hospital. |
 |
| I'm am certainly a fangirl of Kida now. Wow, more info, more questions, more mysteries -- and it's just episode five?! This show is just amazing. I'm not sure if Haruna is the Slasher. The OP reminds me that Anri was like holding a sword or something like that. Oh, I don't know. Anyway, I'm really curious on the gangs in this show. It's too interesting that I read spoilers. Oh well.. Kida's past is certainly interesting, I want to know more. <3 Great episode with Kida's narration. k0k0 said: Indeed.For a second there, that 'bang!' of Kida's reminded me of Eden of the East. "sexy harasho" <3 |

| This episode was well done. I'm starting to get used to the narration of these episodes. They're really good. :D |
 |
| so i wonder who the slasher is? i mean, how does it relate to the story? |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |
| I think the person who stabbed Selty and the slasher are two different people... that is, if people are referring to the one who killed those Yellow Scarves (wannabes?) the slasher. The one who stabbed Selty did it with a long sword (like a katana) had short choppy hair and wore a short skirt. Looked like Anri. Whereas the slasher had long hair, long dress and a smaller knife. Anyway. Really enjoyed Kida-kun narrating the episode. I love Miyano Mamoru's ~charismatic~ voice. lol. |
Usami-Haru said: yupThe chat this week was creepy btw. monkatx said: i still have a hard time understanding the chat room :( Hmm. Pretty good episode. It is now confirmed who all chat room guys are, except that creepy new one. i might have to rewatch to figure them out.... and kida has way more depth than i imagined! i like where this is going. |
 |
| This is becoming more and more intriguing and it's so cool. |
| Kida as narrator = awesomeness. I still want to find out more about Harima and the stalker and the girl with the scar around her neck. I wonder when things will start getting tied together. Loving the mystery XD |

D: I like his screencaps. ;; He always points out things I never notice. I like how Kida has some mysterious past before Ryugamine came to the city. Also, everyone: Don't click the spoiler in the MAL Charatcer page for Kida. Major spoilers.

 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Love it. The storytelling is really good so far. I don't really fully understand the chat room stuff...but I haven't really put much thought into figuring it out anyways. |

The chatroom stuff is one of the vital point of storytelling.From my observation,the chatroom is used to spread some rumors about legend occurred in Ikebokuro & color gangs activity.Did you notice that all the voices in chatroom are different each episode & likely being voiced by the narrator of the episode.For example Jun Fukuyama as narrator & chatroom voices in ep 4 & Mamoru Miyano in this episode. |
porkypink said: The show is way too interesting, Proselyt said: I guess thats why I like it. I couldn't get the part where the person spams on the internet. "MotherMotherMotherMotherMotherMother..." I have a feeling it was some kind of message.. or it could just be a spam..Always amazes me how well the story is told ,by using different perspectives and timelines. I got the impression that the spammer was that girl with the long hair showed near the end and that she was eventually banned from the forum. Also very likely she's the crazy red eye girl with the sword. When i first saw those red eyes i was like: "Wow! WTF is Jigoku Shoujo doing here?". francismeunier said: Also nice save of Kida from Nasujima who was obviously looking at Anri's breasts here=> Well you have to admit they have quite an impressive size. francismeunier said: Celty's head?=> You were really late on picking that up. BTW i wonder if her missing head has anything to do with the girl that has that wound around her neck. Because you may think that it looks like someone reattached her head after being cut of. |
Monad said: Yeah about Harima...it looks like that. The head.....someone said it might not be Celty's so it's Harima's?

Kagura89 said: Yeah, that slasher girl's message bothers me still....."Find someone strong"...."Find love" and "mother"? So it's only her father, her mother is gone and she obviously does not fell loved at all? I think Kida needs to give her some love somehow.....saxophone15 said: Love it.

Yeah,that spammer message is bothering me for a while.What's with those message?Fortunately Kanra had banned the spammer for a time being.But that slashing incident has spark the hatred between Yellow Scarves (gg =_=;;) & Dollars because the slasher is rumored working with Dollars. |
| Did anybody else get the feeling that those Yellow Turbans were just about to get an ass whooping before Mikado showed up to 'rescue' Kida? That kid seems to have a pretty interesting past and a close link to gang activity... And WHERE are the Dollars? For a gang that is so notorious, we sure don't see a lot of them... And I feel that Anri is getting bustier and bustier with each episode! Supernatural forces at work? :P |
 |
| I want more Shizuo and Izaya fights. >> |
 |
| Kida has taken his place as my second favorite character in this show (after Celty). I agree, there's definitely a lot of things he's hiding from Mikado. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in Dollars, or had been in one of the color gangs but left. What was up with Shizuo and that dog, lol? Guess we'll find out next week, as that sounded like Shizuo narrating the preview. |

From the preview,Kadota doesn't like to be called Dotachin XD |
| Still blowing my expectations out of the water with each episode. Looks like it could become even better than Baccano!. Also, I just noticed the one that stabbed Selty looked like Anri and the guy with the briefcase looked like the teacher. Pretty interesting. |

| Overall it was a great episode. I can't imagine that Mikado and Kida would be Dollars material considering how the typical Dollars member are tough enough to knock someone's lights out in one punch rather than the "run-while-the-punks-are-confused" trick, but from judging from Kida's past as well as implications from his thoughts, he seems to stress the fact that Mikado could possibly be interested in joining them. Also, glad to see more of Erika & Walker's crew at Simon's restaurant. Can't wait for the next one which looks like they'll play bigger roles in |
| Amazing. This is very overwhelming but I love knowing more and how things tie in with each other. Selty's scared of aliens, tehe. |
 |
| Simply awesome! And keeps getting better & better everytime. Can't wait to see the next ep. |

In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Best episode till now. Nice Kida story. Bet he can take on the yellow gang himself, just Mikado coming so he can't beat em up =p |
Zutto Anime, Game, Manga!  |
| Kida as narrator bonzai, with the episode coming full circle!!!!! We really managed to get some great insight, particularly about Anri, Mikado and background on Kida! Agh so many questions, what exactly was Kida's involement in the Yellow Scarves, how the girl in the hospital and Izaya are linked, the Slasher girl!?? >_< Lol at Selty worrying about alien! :P |
 |
| The ED is so kickass. |

| Got lost by that episode, now how does all these connected? |
| kida-kun is awesome~ |
逃げちゃ駄目だ。 |
I love how this show keeps the viewer off balance, and then slowly brings them back into the story. It's never stagnant, you always continue to learn something. Oh yeah, Selty being afraid of aliens... what the hell? |
 |
| Kida is hilarious <3 Needs moar Walker though. I love him. |
 Mystical.Giraffe.Powers. |
| Another awesome episode, narrated by Mamoru Miyano's voice. First, I think that Kida is just a show-off annoying guy, but looking into this episode, looks like he has an interesting past in Ikebukuro. For Izaya to know him and what he said in this episode, could mean that he was a deliquent or acquainted with color gangs probably. Also the girl in the hospital that visited by Izaya which probably his girlfriend, makes me change my prespective towards Kida. Anyways, this episode just create more mysteries like the slasher, Celty's wound and Mika Harima. |
 |
| Kida bro-ness has made me much more interested in this show |
| DULALALA ! Damn, this is the best way to tell a story. |
 |
| This is still the best anime this season. So, while Baccano! went for a whole puzzle of storytelling, where you have to arrange the dozens of pieces from when and where it happened that it boggles your mind, Durarara!!'s going to show off an episode narrated by each character while dumping more and more stuff on our heads before finally exploding just when we think our heads will. Well, that's what I think they're aiming for here. |
