Come visit Russia Sushi, where our we opened our canned fish this morning and retrieved “meat” with Gal Girl make-up! It’s cheap!
(The line about Russia Sushi getting meat from The Slasher was the second best line of this episode. The best? Read on…)
“You only have to act frail like that in bed.”
Mmm… pick one!
A. OH. MY. FUCKING. GAWD.
B. A trembling Celty is fine too.
C. I can’t wait for this doujinshi to appear at Comiket 78.
D. Needs more chicken bread.
E. All of the above.
If you’re going to bring in effective (but problematic) traffic cops, why not Miyuki and Natsumi? There’s no question about it. Between Miyuki’s elite driving and leadership skills and Natsumi’s invincibility, Celty is no match for them.
Don’t like either the new OP, Complication, or ED, Butterfly. Sorry, you just can’t replace Yuya Matsushita’s Trust Me, especially when the music video has him doing a 90 second tribute to Michael Jackson (skip to around 3:30). I was disappointed that we didn’t see either a chimp or Macaulay Culkin in the video.
Main complaint about Durarara!! besides not getting more of Yuya Matsushita? No costume changes! The red mini-skirt screams flirty while the odd combo of forest and neon green with said red screams that she just wants her little brother to act frail between two slices of fried chicken. Does the fact that Namie Yagiri is absolutely, unequivocally bat shit crazy make her a more or less likeable character?
I like how all the power players in this anime just hang around in a chatroom on their computers… wouldn’t it make more sense for them to communicate via a Twitter client on their app phones? Celty has an Android-ish slider, Izaya has an iPhone (new unreleased 4G model probably), and The Slasher probably uses BlackBerry. Only poor Mikado doesn’t have an app phone. Andohbytheway, isn’t it weird that Durarara!! feels dated because they’re using computers to chat instead of app phones? At least I think so. It’s 2010 already!
“Distortion Field-o!”
Oops, wrong anime. Anri is bi? Mmm… though it is getting juicy with Kida and Mikado leading rival gangs (without each other knowing) and in love with the same girl (both knowing, except both don’t know she’s in love with another girl). I like this setup! So much better than Celestial Being trying to end wars by paradoxically starting wars. Anyway, I liked Kida’s plan to use Anri to score more attractive girls. This is a real phenomena. Ask David Spade or John Mayer.
Is that you back there, Matoi?
(Yes. Always.)
Sora no Woto ended up being the Kwame Brown to K-On!‘s Dwight Howard.
Get. A. Freakin’. Room.
If you want us to see it, record it with a Flip cam and upload it to YouPr0n or something like that when we can enjoy it at our leisure and in private. Geez, inconsiderate exhibitionists.
Damn, The Slasher killed them too soon… I wanted to see more fail boyfriends get their cell phones destroyed by Izaya.

Yeah, that posture that pseudo-celty and Yagiri were in on school grounds during lunch was kinda…. ehh… well you wouldn’t see that around American high school lunch times. I laughed at the caption to the last picture.
Yuya Matsushita ;A; I already miss him! *loops his vids and all his other ones* why is he so pretty ;_;
Celty was awesome this episode. So cute, so scared ;_;
Slasher Arrrrrrrrc. Can’t wait to see how this unfolds :D
The gang girls at the end – if you live in a neighborhood with a slasher, a headless biker, dudes throwing soda machines, and who knows how many other strange dangerous things, how STUPID do you have to be to start shit? Especially to start shit with the quiet, harmless-looking girl who might as well be wearing a “Clark Kent” nametag. If I lived there I’d either keep my head the hell down or get the hell out.
I liked the buildup to Anri being the Slasher, then the twist at the end. Though that still leaves the Tyler Durden approach open.
Shinra’s dad is awesome crazy, but I can’t help but wonder what his angle is. I hope he’s a animated version of Walter Bishop or something, though.
plz excuse my ignorance but who are Miyuki and Natsume ?
Normally, this requires a “TEMPLATES ARE FORBIDDEN” response, but in the case of Durarara!!, E is the best.
Also, gundammn spoilers in the comments. Good thing I’m following the manga, or I’d really be upset.
Celty shivering. Made my episode.
Long time reader, first time poster here.
Man has Celty changed or what? Going from a headless, immortal bringer of death to fearing traffic cops.
On a completely unrelated note I hope Jason writes a post about the uncensored version of Seikon no Qwaser 13 soon. *crosses fingers*
The role reversal with Celty and the traffic cop is pretty funny.
Double Down? more like Double Bypass hopefully KFC eventually buckles and adds it into the Famous Bowl as a way to cause INSTANT DEATH………alot easier to digest then 15,532 repeating timelines.
I like how that despite being ostensibly inhuman Celty actually has one of the more normal personalities in the show, especially among the female characters.
>though it is getting juicy with Kida and Mikado leading rival gangs (without each other knowing)
I have the impression that Mikado knows much more than what it seems, the way he reacted to every mention of the slasher made me think that he already knows who is it
