yumasaki and karisawa are an awesome couple.
hey
heres a prologue of vol.4, no spoilers its only a prologue to interest you on the novel and is a sort of teaser(also has a hint about simon and dennis background): http://anni-fiesta.livejournal.com/32533.html
well enjoy reading it.
izaya has no idea what he’s dealing with, mikado is more than he seems

I totally agree, Yumasaki and Karisawa are something else! Love both of ’em!
I read the Prologue and you got me addicted! Oh man! That was supremely brilliant! I stand corrected that manga/novels are much better than anime/movies.
I would give the trio a benefit of the doubt against Izaya. He can’t be all that infallible! He is too narcissistic for his own good and when he’s all proud and gloating, he would be hit with a surprising turn of events. At least, I hope so!

yeah, the novels and manga are usually better since they dont have a limited number of pages/ep and are usually more detailed.
oh and can you delete my comment on top? its a mistake and is the same as this one except lacking.

I was pretty bored with this episode, but I can see how they are trying to show how Walker and Erika say just kick out all the crappy past stuff that didn’t have moe, tsundere, and BL, whereas Masaomi is chained to his past of heterosexual maybe-love.
Mikado is supposed to be some awesome leader, but he does less than any other major character on this show. At best he sends a few text messages and then calls it a day!
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
mikado is probably the most mysterious character in the story(later novels).
its hard for me to tell what is going in his mind ❓ :dot :wah :tantrum
POWUH: iLurker with 1 comments
well…… i think mikado’s mind is full of secrets and more……… I hope he appears more in the novel later……. :tantrum :sad4
but i think there is some strange past
Show ▼
POWUH: 600-699 and Romance Expert with 652 comments
yeah I kinda already read that…
thats what I meant on not getting whats going in his mind

@ Kabitzin, Your visit has made me go all :kyaa:! I would agree that the episode was very slow, if it weren’t for Yumasaki and Karisawa I would doom the studio to hell with laments of WTH were they doing?
I was disappointed with Mikado’s less screen time and not much of a plan of action coming from him but as amado and 美香　三斗 points out, it’s pretty tough to analyze him because he has a side that he hardly shows (like the epic scene where he proclaimed, ‘I have all the cards’).
@ amado, I feel the same frustration whenever it’s Mikado I’m trying to figure out. He would stutter and go ano, sono… but then end being totally bad ass!
@ 美香　三斗, Oh! What an awesome excerpt! Thanks for sharing. Tells a lot about what to expect from Mikado. I sure would love to see this side in season finale!

amado, thanks for the link. Now, I’m just waiting for the finale so that I can go to anni-fiesta and gorge on the awesome summaries and excerpts available! ^^;

There was also only one shot of Celty. It was probably good to get all of this stuff with Masaomi out of the way. It clears the way for more action in the final episodes. Also, I doubt we will get a chance to spend this much time with Kadota and his gang again. As Kyokai notes, there are only 4 episodes left, so there isn’t going to be much time available for the side characters. Unfortunately that includes Simon, too. :sniff: I feel like I’m saying goodbye to good friends.
POWUH: iLurker with 10 comments
Simon, Masaomi and Kadota are gonna be stealing the show in this arc’s finale, don’t worry.
POWUH: iLurker with 10 comments
Masaomi, Simon and Kadota are gonna be stealing the show in this arc’s finale, don’t worry. On the other hand it looks like the second season half will pass by without even a cameo of Kasuka, even though he’s in the opening credits.
POWUH: Novice (36-50) with 37 comments
kasuka showed up in ep 7
POWUH: iLurker with 10 comments
Which would be the first half, before he showed u in the credits.
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
@ nagi, I agree! If it weren’t for the Dotachin gang, I would have dozed off!
@ Roger, Shizuo’s entry in next episode would be great. Is that spoiler? I banking on the Trio coming together or something. I was expecting more of Kasuka this season but I hope he and even Kinnosuke show up in remaining episodes to justify their presence in end credits.
@Joojoobees, I feel the same! T_T It’s been such a great haul with an awesome array of characters and plot twists that always keep us hanging. For a while now, I haven’t come across such an addictive anime. Would definitely miss this and looking forward to lots of action and W00ts in the remaining episodes! ^^;
@ edru, barely though, a bit of Shizuo’s past and handing him bartender outfits. Sure, he’s a celebrity but is that it? I would like to see more as Roger points out.

shizu-chan and shinra are nowhere to be found in this ep :baww: lately shizu-chan hasn’t appearing much
but anyway great ep as always *thumbs up* durarara never fails entertain me, izaya is like the mastermind now, huh? GO IZAYA!
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Awww~ *hands out special cookie* After Shizu-chan bamboozled all the Slasher children along with punching the lights of pervy-teacher, I guess he was given some rest time. He sure has a bigger role to play so I’m just waiting and watching. ^^;
Izzy sure gets all the evil points for being the evil informant nudging everyone to a big showdown. Only 2 epis left if you include the released RAW. Oh well, will enjoy the most from the remaining epis!

Masaomi did have a reaction. In fact, from what I’ve read (it didn’t go into too much detail after Izaya revealed it to him so just speculating) he was shocked and in denial about it. It just wasn’t done well (or AT ALL) in the anime. Given how they’re under time constraint, I guess I can understand why but still, I felt it ruined the episode a little and the part where those Yellow Scarves members beat up what’s-his-name made it even worse. 🙁
However, I guess there’s a good thing in him knowing that Mikado is the leader of the rival gang which assures him that at least, majority of the Dollars members had nothing to do with the Slasher who attacked Anri and if he knows his best friend, he can trust that Mikado won’t do something so stupid as to get people involved in violent fights. It’s the Yellow Scarves that want territory in ‘Bukuro. Most of the Dollars members are just part of something that started online.
Which leads to the case of Horoda. There’s no way Masaomi is going to be able to control a former Blue Squares member. I do not know if he joined the Yellow Scarves out of revenge for the dismemberment of their old gang or if he plans to overtake Masaomi altogether or both but his “respect†for Masaomi is nothing but fake. And that’s already posing a great danger to his authority as leader so it’ll only be a matter of time before internal conflict of the Yellow Scarves start.
Yumacchi and Erika are <3333
I really loved her speech on how she distinguished reality and fiction (“make your own world with moe, tsundere, and BL!†FTW xDDD;;;) from each other. It has yet to sink into my mind cuz I rushed through it so it sounded pretty confusing but that’s a clear indication that she has left her past as Blue Squares member behind and started anew with Dollars, showing a stark contrast between Dotachin’s gang and Masaomi. In a way, I think they’re trying to hint at him to try and forgive himself already. Or at least let others help him cuz look at Masaomi. Nothing’s getting better with him trying to shoulder everything by himself. Baka Masaomi.
And if anyone was 2-D and awesomely insane, they would totally be part of Yumacchi’s desired harem. Yes they would. *creepy talk is creepy* 8DD;;;
MIKADOOOOO~~~~~!!!!!!!!!! ;____________________;
I miss my Mikapuu. I want to hug him so bad cuz dammit, it just ain’t fair he doesn’t know a thing of what’s going on.
Then again, the more I think about it, his “gullibility†might turn into something even more dangerous. Too many people, including Izaya especially, take his easy trust for granted so once Mikado’s effectiveness as the leader of Dollars begins to gain momentum again, nothing can stop him. And if it goes against what Izaya planned
which, he probably planned that as well, Izaya won’t be able to stop him either. It’s not a matter of information he gains. It’s a matter of who dares to mess with him and anyone close to him. You’ll see what I mean when we get a second season. And it is going to be so AWESOME, I won’t be able to sleep. *totally in love with Mikado atm* :/And finally, YEA, where is Shizu?! ;A;
POWUH: Meta Team and Ringleader Extraordinaire~ with 6433 comments
Xiao-chan, you said it! I was like WTH happened? I wanted some reaction from Masaomi but the studio made it a total dudder! What a waste, that scene!!! Poor Takeguchi too, he didn’t deserve his arm broken but of course how else Mikado and Masaomi both would get worked up over his injuries. >.>
I was pretty pissed with how things are fueling the gang war. Team Horoda harp on the weak, typical bullies, who would jet as soon as they face someone formidable (Cetly and shizu-chan for example). I would agree that they are working on some internal agenda against Yellow Scarves for either disbanding their group or generating discord for a big gang war. Horoda is definitely on the challenging mode by defying Shogun’s direct orders of not engaging directly with Dollars members. From preview it seems that this whole thing would only intensify.
Erika and Walker are simply awesome! Such a deadly torturing duo! Their concept of shooing off unpleasant memories/acts as fiction was just FTW! That whole commando action with chopsticks was great and Karisawa’s fingerpointing with deadpan expressions were just WIN~! The more I get to know about the Dotachin gang, the more I love ’em!
It’s really interesting to see how a chinese-whispers circle is happening around the trio: Anri knows about Masaomi, Masaomi knows about Mikado now it’s Mikado’s turn to either know about Masaomi/Anri. Being totally out of action, I would love to see him all worked up and determined to do something about the continuous deteriorating condition of the city he has come to like with all its flaws. I am looking forward to Mikado’s awesomeness and hopefully another season!
Don’t event get me started over Izaya, he’s sooo lovin’ all this. Sipping coffee and grinning to himself, seriously… If it weren’t for Hiroshi Kamiya, Izzy wouldn’t have turned out so awesomely evil! XD Keeping my fingers crossed for some Shizu-chan next epi~!
Btw, *special cookie* for you for awesome comments as always!

Fascinating! But you ought to check your comment plugin more carefully. You seem to be receiving some spam comments. I had the same issue myself. So nowadays I look at everything with extra care.
