mehz, You are my first commentor so welcome! Show ▼
Being my first post here, I posted the conclusion part without spoiler tag and noticed it when you commented. So sorry, if I spoiled it for you. Gomen~ :wah I know about Mikado’s identity because a friend of mine let it slip while discussing the current episode. I found out that wiki has a lot of information extracted from manga (which is still being translated by few subbers and is wayyy behind the anime). I really feel bad spoiling you because I can understand the feeling. Same happened to me. So sorry…
AH i was so surpirsed too with the whole mikado being the leader!! i found out about that due to wiki (aka the home of all things spoiler-related XP) but i didnt believe it till this epie! =O
as for kida and the blue squares and whatnot…. wiki spoiled that for me too but im not about to go spreading that evil peice of info around O_o
Ooo next for the epie reveiw use gif images please!! ^.^ i loves the gif’ed-ness =P
Things have gotten really exciting, but, as you pointed out, there are still some strange loose ends. That’s a good point about the teacher, why would they show him in this episode if he had no role to play?
I also thought the last part of the show was gorgeous. Everything was bathed in that incredible golden light that comes just before sunset.
Durarara!! is like a complex puzzle that keeps on unfurling showing more progress and interconnecting threads as the time passes by. One point that I forgot is the slasher girl, who we have only seen in episode 5. We are still unaware about her identity and of course Kida must have his own thing going. Not mentioning a lot of characters who still need explaining: Haruna, Kida’s friend/sis (from episode 5) and Simon, what muscle hidden beneath that sushie-love.
I totally agree, the episode end was epic! Filled with golden flashes (especially the super-fast mouse action) and all focusing on Mikado’s changed character.
I always knew Mikado was hiding something big like being the creator/leader of the most influential gang in all of Ikebukuro so it comes as no surprise to me when his normal personality changed and actually thrilled me even more cuz I already loved Mikado from day one. *was also spoiled way before episode 3, lol* Haha~
I also thought that any guesses on Izaya being the leader instead was just the trap Narita wanted you to fall into. Cuz at first glance, you’d think he has all the qualities, cunning and enough evil to rule one. But if you look more closely at Izaya, he’s a manipulator of information and people who likes to work alone rather than have a legion of usernames at his command. But it’s not like that stopped a huge fanbase from viewing him as a smex god, though. :XD:
Cuz he’s not the issue of this small arc yet. Oho~
Looking forward to the next episode so badly it’s nearly driving me nuts. It’s probably one of the only ones where almost all the major cast members participate in something at once instead of in scattered patterns like in previous episodes. And it’s going to be BIG and AWESOME.
Aha! So, you’ve been rooting for Mikado all this time! Quite evident from your DP too. XD The thing I love about Durarara is, there are so many things happening and so many characters that even if one factor is solved, there are many many more to think about. Now, that Mikado is out of the bag, I can only wonder what’s in store from Kida and Anri. Eeeee!
In case of the pervert teacher, your shining eyes are telling me something… As he keeps showing up on weird times, I can only wonder what can happen. :dundun
Ahhhhhh, now that you reminded me…. :wah Can’t wait for the next episode. For the preview, at least we know there would be more Mikado, Shizu-chan’s broodiness, Izaya’s smexyness, Celty flying about, while Seiji’s still looking for Celty-Harima and Namie’s upto no good. Friday please come soon!
Narita is one one genius storyteller. He directed us to Izaya while made Mikado blunder about. If I hadn’t been spoiled, I would have been doing this for sure: :shock
Welcome, Kyokai! I’m looking forward reading more of your blogging!
Something I love a lot about this episode was precisely that eye-opening sequence and the mannerism change… the former good boy standing against the sunset talking as if now, they world is finally his, as it should have always been… it gave me a Death Note feeling. The frenetic typing and clicking didn’t help either… reminds me of that epic writing OTL
@ Sabaku no Renge, Domo! I agree, the ending sequence just made everything different. We could finally see Mikado in a new light. Nice similie of Yagami Light & Mikado :thumb:
@ Tsubaki Shinra, fufufuuu. Let’s fangirl all the bishies of Durarara!! :fangirl
@ Viola Ebright, Arrigato! It’s the same with me since I got into the fandom. It’s kinda my escape. XD
Nice fangirling review though I haven’t watch the episode myself due to vacation but had he chance to check out blogs xD and welcome look forward to more of your post ^^! I was starting to wonder where Kanzeon is gone with all the updates.
Anyway, I manage to watch up to Izaya’s stomping on a human so I don’t have much to say then I love that particular part, it totally hilarious and also Kida’s appearance <3
Ahahahaha, quite refreshing to spy new bloggers here (even if I do forever love kanzie and tsui)
I like your style~
As for the plot ohohohoho I’ve pieced many things together.
The Celty – Harima thing is confusiiing xD I keep wanting to call Harima Celty but then I’m like “oh wait” so I just call her Choppy Neck like ensuing
WE NEED MORE AWESOME DROOL-WORTHY SHIZUO AND MIKADO AND KIDA AND IZAYA AAARGHHH :tantrum
