    I found Selty’s change into mush quite charming, to be honest, because it shows her priorities have changed. While the execution could have been handled better, I think having her remain the same badass for the entirety of the series would have led her to become deus ex machina-like, rather than a believable, likable character.

    I don’t consider this episode bad…. but hell, it had me scared that it was the last one :eh2
    it sounded sure as hell like one of those let’s end the anime story here, although it would actually go on, episodes. Good thing it’s going on.

    Part of reason Celty was able to accept Shinra was because she feared the samething he did. They never actually talked about before which lead to this mess.

  4. Staibdude says:

    When I saw Izaya holding Celty’s head, I couldn’t stop thinking about Jenova….heh…

    “(few? Are you kidding me?!)”

    Mukyaa! (I totally support the Nodame references, BTW). Mika gets crazy points (and I do mean that two ways) this episode, not for standing in front of a headless reaper to protect the man she loves, not for carrying a lock-pick gun to get into Seiji’s apartment, no, not even for being willing to get her face altered in back-room plastic surgery. She gets crazy points for saying, “Whatever kind of thing you’re into, I’m cool with it!” I could not have imagined that with all the other people in this show, she would make such a bold play for seriously effed up.

    Oh, I completely agree about Shinra, as well, but I’ve thought he was a creep all along. ShizuoXCelty FTW! :thumb:

    maybe that speech did this to mikado or maybe mikado was already this awesome:

    I also didn’t like how quickly Celty forgave Shinra, even if she did love him, but I think 20 years of living together and for her to know that Shinra believes her every word speaks out loud enough that they didn’t need to continue being mad at each other. People are stupid and make stupid mistakes. Shinra was just extra stupid and extra selfish. Therefore, he gets an extra hard punch instead of a slap I would’ve preferred a slap.

    Tbh, I found Celty to be the “victim” and the one with least fault in their whole mess so I couldn’t get angry at her because she had all the right reasons. I wouldn’t go so far as to call her a monster. She has an existence of one but we already know that she’s quite friendly with all her human companions and exposure to that made her human in a way. Perhaps more human than normal people are themselves since she can forgive Shinra despite him lying to her.

    I’m more pissed at Shinra, though. Yea, I get why he loves her so much that he’s willing to sacrifice anything so that they can stay together but him being an idiot didn’t even had the guts to discuss this with her. And he’s all grinning about “I understand you. I’ve loved you for 20 years, after all” Like hell you do! You can’t say that and go around their backs doing things they sure as hell wouldn’t like you doing!

    But at least they got over that problem of communication now and I’m happy that Celty’s satisfied with just being herself without her head. Though I hope she’s still a little concerned about where it is.

    Mikado’s drop-kick at Kida made me :cute: him even more! <333

    And knowing Izaya, a lot of chaos is going to follow in the wake of his plan for an all-out war in Ikebukuro. It should be interesting and he will be one hell of a bastard. Oioi… :dot

      Xiao-chan, Just as I said to Ritz, I like the humane side of Celty that is quite endearing. No way, I want her as demon, I just wanted her to be a bit more badass in front of Shinra – after all, she announced it in front of the whole ‘bukro that she would unleash her true self onto them. Sure, I didn’t like the execution of the whole I-forgive-you-instantly. It’s good that both of them have worked out their differences but was this all? I’m not quite sure. I saw Shinra in a totally new light and I guess there can be more secrets lying around him.

      Mikado was AMAZING! I can bet we find out more about his awesomeness as the story progresses. Izaya sure will remain the smexy bastard we love to hate. XD

      genki de ne~

  8. Kay says:

    Lawlz. Nah, I’m pretty sure Izaya is taller than Mikado.

    ah i love this episode! shinra so cute!

  11. LuluChan92 says:

    Durararararara (oops, I slipped!) never let me down, and that goes for this episode, too. Heheheh, Seiji got PWN’d, lol (well, all of us did)!

    I really liked Shinra and Celty cuddling on the couch, it was so KAWAIIIIIIII!!! Izaya his evilness was plain charming, as always! And, way to go, Mikado! Shove your best friend Kida out of the picture and get the girl!!!

    Yeah, I ‘m glad Izaya His Evilness is up to no good even after all this ruckass caused by Mikado and not by him only. He wants more of the spotlight and he shows it! “Let’s all go to Heaven together” YES, YOUR EVILNESS, I’M COMING!!!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!

    You know what’s kind of weird? I was watching iCarly with my nephew & niece tonight, and they had a plot that reminded me of ShinraXCelty. Carly had a chance to go to some fancy school; her friends don’t want her to go, so they conspire to screw up her interview with the school administrator. See where I’m going with this? When Carly finds out she acknowledges that they did it because they like her, and were afraid of losing her companionship, but insists that it was her decision to make, and that they had no right to prevent her from making it. She rightfully calls them out for acting selfishly.

    • Kyokai says:

      Your iCarly reference was quite intersting, I think that is how Celty should have reacted. Forgiveness is all good but there’s tough love too baby! Check out the new OP/ED and dying to get the subs of Ep 13, loads of intersting things are happening. Shinra definitely is not innocent as he looks. :/

  13. Kyokai says:

    @ Ritz, I definitely do not want Celty to go all deus ex machina! I like the humane side of her that is quite endearing. I was just a bit miffed with the execution. I loved Shinra standing up to her, for me his change over was better than Celty.

    @ Mitsuki, I didn’t hate it but was a bit disappointed. I still love all the characters. The two week wait seems appropriate for all the development that happened in this particular episode. Waiting for more! 🙂

    @ Jagd, They were kind of over guessing each other, which is quite understandable in their high strung relationship.

    @ Staibdude, Ehh~ Definitely creepy!

    @ Joojoobees, *glomps* finally found a nodame nakama! XD Harima Mika is plain psycho, no qualms about it. Shizuo/Celty seems interesting! I always wondered about how they cancel each other’s weirdness and talk on the same level.

    @ edru, Mikado was always awesome, I think! 😉 Hopefully, your wish would come true before series end!

    @ Kay, fufufuu~ I know! I noticed my own made gifs later. X_x I guess, happens when random thoughts crowd over while reviewing. *shrugs*

    @ eerikoko, Thanks for the info. OP is sure mellower than Uragiri. Will see how it sets off.

    @ CyberPixie, Heheheee. There is going to be a lot more to Shinra from now on I think. Not so innocent now! 😉

    @ LuluChan92, fufufuu~ It’s almost like Ararararagi-kun! XD Brilliant comment I might add! You definitely fangirl Izaya (who doesn’t? When’s he’s the smexiest of evilness!) Let’s see how the story progresses, can’t wait for the subs to be out!

  14. Roger says:

    (Unrelated banter: It just made me notice that Mikado is quite tall, maybe around Shizu-chan? Izaya sure is shorter than them both!)

    I dun think so.

    • Kyokai says:

      Hey Roger, I’m happy you went around and read through my old posts! ^^;

      After writing this I quickly realized that this was not so, checked out my own Shizu-chan GIF featuring Mikado being shorter than both Izaya and Shizuo! xD

    ………..Yeahs its nice Seiji accepted her, but shouldn’t she be in love with a guy who loves her for who she is as opposed to someone who likes her for what she has or who she looks lik
