Oh, that. I thought the kanji mapped up to the other sister but it was just me getting the order they entered the chatroom wrong. They still do switch from being talkative or not in real life to the opposite online though.

I will never get tired of people picking fights with Shizuo without knowing that's a bad idea.

So I rewatched the first season because my friend got me the dvd, and I love the music in the show so much. For example, the Saika song is literally chanting "Anri" throughout the song. Also the entirety of episode 16. Especially the parts with Haruna and that creepy song that plays while she just. doesn't. blink. The only downside to the dub is that Yagiri's voice isn't that great, but even that's not that major after the first arc.

This episode seemed a little meandering. I'm not sure I understand what's going on with Celty. I guess it's about her becoming complacent as a 'human' despite being dragged into shady business again. Next episode, though, Varona is going to take on Anri? That can't possibly go well for biker chick.

The characters, I have no idea what happens in the books. Assuming it's the Russians breaking into Anri's house then they could very well be double-teamed by an irritated Celty and a girl who can summon an army to do her bidding.

Durarara has shown multiple times that Russian assassins are extraordinarily competent. Egor could go toe-to-toe with whatever Ruri was and Simon is probably the only person who could block a Shizuo punch.

A thing about Egor is that he is better suited for most jobs then assassins considered to be better then him for the simple fact that he never carries any weapons on him. Egor's claim to fame is that he is pretty much Bullseye from Marvel comics able to use almost anything as a lethal weapon. So yeah the Russian assassins are really good. Also on Yadogiri Jinnai keep an eye on him everybody and make sure you remember him. Also Fun fact Vorona and Slon are Russian for Crow and Elephant.

I'm not entirely sure why the wire even knocked Celty off her bike. I'd expect it to maybe knock her helmet off and then she goes "huh?" somewhere in the middle of the next block.

It probably also got some of her neck but due to Dullahan durability it didn't do any harm to her besides knocking her off Shooter. And giving her some slight psychological damage of "did some random woman just try to kill me while seemingly understanding that I have supernatural powers? This city's getting loving weird again."

Is the chat room that everyone uses not a Dollars thing? I always assumed it was but Izaya's sisters were talking about the Dollars as if they aren't members.

Is it just me or does the pacing seem rather sped up? Like the producers are trying to finish the series in three cours when they went through just a quarter of it last season in two cours?

I wouldn't mind if they were able to take things a bit more slowly, but the current pacing is better than the first season's. Knowing where one's going and when one needs to get there lets one go at an appropriate speed; who knew?

I've been rewatching the old series, and the pacing is almost unbearable. I mean, it's okay in the first arc where we're introduced to the important characters one at a time, but afterward it's just kinda stalling. I like the pacing in the new series.

Twiddy posted:Anri is possibly the dumbest target in the entire city if they're going after peoples' lives There is exactly one target dumber than that.  Also, I felt the pacing of the first couple arcs were fine. I didn't mind the Slasher Arc, and it was only 5 episodes, as opposed to the 6 of the previous ones, and the 7 of the one after it. The issue was the Yellow Scarves Arc wasn't that great compared to the arcs before it. This new one seems to be going 3 arcs/cour at 4 episodes/arc, which is a pretty solid pace.

Clarste posted:Wait, how are you dividing the first 12 episodes into two arcs? It felt like one really long to me. It was one long arc, actually. Although Volume 1 from the books is chiefly concerning the Yagiri Pharmaceuticals storyline along with establishing the main men along with some very basic setup for everyone else, the anime sprinkled some content from books 2 through 4. Hell, Shizuo's backstory is mostly shown in the 2nd book, but in the anime, we've got it before Anri's arc. That's what I remember, at least. The books are going to eventually come out in America, right?
