Oh, and in response to someone comparing Izaya to Vino, I think that Vendingmachine-kun can be the Durarara!! equivalent of Ladd. Following this thought process the Holo pair is Isaac+Miria:D. Really. I need some Isaac+Miria! Half the reason Baccano was SO good was them. Let's expand even more and say that the Dullahan is a cross between Rachel (the reporter girl) and Chane. Why is Brain's Base such an awesome studio? |

Does that equal out to Ryuugamine=Jacuzzi? |
 |
| I'm starting to get things now. Nice pacing/ storytelling, and it explains why ep1 started out so slow. Antihero is cool, she's a bit like Rail Tracer. Was this the fourth time she saved someone? Didn't really get that part |

| awesome story! pretty similar to baccano, but i loved baccano so i'm not complaining. i liked the first episode better, but this one was pretty good too |
 |
| 150 comments already?! In just 4 days?!?! I'm not used to popular forums at MAL. ._. Suicides have always a lot of play possibilities. How many tricks. How many turns to show how normal can a human be. How surprising is this Kamen Rider Neko. Trying to talk about this on Twitter. And how many times will you people say "Baccano"?! |
| Great episode. I'm already loving that asshole Izaya. And plus points for biker woman in my book. Yes, i'm slowly starting to get the BACCANO feel. Time jumbles and twisted characters. I'm loving it. |

Heart-Whisper said: Watch it again. It really wasn't that hard to follow. ^^DIDN'T UNDERSTAND A THING FROM THE EPISODE... |
 |
| So very pleasantly surprised with this show. May be even better than Baccano! and there's 24 episodes? WIIINN. |
| All the mods fucking blow on this website except Kaiserpingvin, Cloudy-Sky, Baman and aero. PM me if you're actually good and I left you out. Oh, rule 8... (￣ー￣) |
| woah this anime is really awesome O.O |
| Better than the first, and I liked the first. This one I loved! The music, animation, and now characters are really good and interesting. YES! |
 |
| I don't get how people confuse Rio with Anri. It's like confusing Elmer and Claire, which, surprisingly, did happen in Baccano!. Great episode though. I haven't seen Katanagatari (which probably wouldn't end until the end of the year), and there's only been 2 episodes out so far, but I feel safe calling this the best anime this season. |
 |
| interesting episode again |
| after episode 1, I was starting to wonder if durarara was one of those hyped up anime with only pretty designs and no substance, and then episode 2 reaffirmed that it does live up to the hype. hopefully, the rest of the series keeps up with the interesting storylines and intriguing characters. |
 |
| Could there possibly be a good show this season besides Nodame? It looks like the creators learned from their mistakes with Baccano. Instead of having a story presented out of order just for the sake of the style and to have simultaneous happy endings, trading coherence and a lot of drama, they seem to have really found the right way to present things in a non-linear fashion, and I really enjoyed it. Even though the plot itself didn't progress, we got a better idea of a lot of the characters that were just incidental to the last episode. |
| I agree with noteDhero. The plot didn't progress but we're understanding the basic background behind each character and not so many anime do that. |
 |
| Pretty deep stuff this episode.. I like how the characters view life so differently. Gave me some stuff to think about <: Also surprised about headless rider being on screen so much. I thought she was going to be that mystic legend character that you hardly knew anything about, then she turned out to be a good guy :D overall pretty awesome episode! |
 |
| I love this anime, Thriller!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

| I had a hard time clicking play on this season's shows (except for Nodame). Most sat on my computer for a week or two before I actually watched them. |
| Nodame?!!! Oh riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight....~ 8-) |
 If he's not with us, he's AGAINST us!!! |
| I love the way they integrate the recaps into the intro. Liked this episode a lot better than the first. It just makes me want to know more about these unique characters. Esp. the driver. I also wonder who exactly is narrating. The driver? |
 |
| I like having one episode from someone else's point of view, I just now want to move forward. Her life was strange, and if secrets really bothered her she should have faced up to her parents. |
| My anime list |
| Wow I absolutely love this anime! I'm glad that it's not going to be as short as Baccano cuz this one has more characters (it seems) and a very mysterious plot which will take more than 13 eps to reveal apart from giving all those characters a spotlight. The ep was awesome too. I really like the headless Rider, seems like a good person yet with a dark past :) |

| Decent if nothing else. |
 |
| I fucking HATE narratives. Nothing is more boring than someone telling you what's going on and stuff. I will watch the rest, but no more of that stuff. |
| Great episode! It just flew by :D |
| <img src="http://i44.tinypic.com/10wmog1.jpg" border="0"> |
| Izaya is definitely an interesting character... and then the tossing of vending machines...lol.. |
| Sore wa himitsu desu. |
| I FINALLY forced myself to watch (finish) episode 2. I stopped half way, because it wasn't very interesting. Then I took a 2 week break, and now I started watching again. XD It was a meh-ish episode. Still don't know what the heck this anime's about, lol. |
 |
| This epiosde was amazing because it had a good way to introduce some of the characters, and it had a good plot to make me interested in watch this series. I think the headless rider may be anti-hero. |
| (Wants more Mikado) |
 |
| I really liked the pacing of this one. Interesting ways to introduce characters. |
| suicideeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!! |
 |
| I hope this will have 24+ episodes Or some in the3 digits |
| Sig deleted for being too large. |
| Ooo, me likey~ I think I'll stick around and see where this goes. |
 |
Cyz said: They may, just may, make another season if this one becomes popular. Though, considering their history, I doubt it.I hope this will have 24+ episodes Or some in the3 digits |
| That was incredible. I almost dropped this show because I didn't love the first episode but what a shame that would've been. This was phenomenal. |
 |
| I'm still wondering what the premise of the plot is. And its seems like they spent a whole episode on a supporting character. I actually thought that she would die. Anyway, I'm still interested in it, so I'll continue with the next episode. |
| It is great that they get to retell what really goes on here, and Japan is that chaotic here |
Live well - Laugh often - and Love much |
| Izaya <3 He is very philosophical. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
JuicyBuddha said: It would have been better if they'd let the girl die, the "oh life is good you should live!" crap was lame. Still this anime has style and potential. I kind of agree with this one. I was hoping for half the episode that she would hurry up and die >_< ANYWAYS: Contrary to most people, I actually liked the first episode better. Maybe I'm just not liking Rio so much, but Izaya is AWESOME. Need moar of him pl0x. Headless rider was pretty cool with her spiderman powers but I'm starting to dislike her more and more. Next episode looks interesting, though |
| This show reminds me a lot of Boogiepop Phantom, but better. |

| Nice to know why the F* she went with a total stranger in a dark parking lot ... |
| It still seems all kinda random, but I like it. The characters are all somehow strangely funny. |
| I like Izaya and the headless driver the most, their soo cool wtff ahahah |
| this shows awesome@! |
     |
| Izaya? Yes please. |
