Lots of interesting stuff going on.

Everything surrounding Akabayashi.
Good episode, different.

Akabayashi may not be a major character, but he was super cool in this episode, managed to make me like a yakuza character.

Pretty good episode. Really made me like Akabayashi. The part about him loving Anri's mother was a genuine surprise.

Yeah, and that bloodstain and his head looked really unnatural. Dude literally pulled his eyeball out. Wait, did he? He showed his eye at the start of the episode didn't he? Eye surgery?

An intimidating false eye to scare punks?

Durarara!!×2 Ten episode 4:
Vorona is so damn awesome.
However, I think the real reason that she is following Shizuo is not because she wants to kill/beat him but to see the limitations of a human. Or perhaps what humans can exceed their own limits. Nice episode though. Good action and shit going down.

Hey, the fights didn't look dull this time. Now that the anime's done setting up the new relationships, I'm ready for the actual plot. Great thing is that the timeline from the source material is completely jumbled up in my head, so I know what's gonna happen, but not when, so I can still get a bit surprised at stuff and also hype myself for what's to come.

I thought they did a good job of developing her character into something more interesting. This anime is full of inexplicably lethal fighter types so it takes more than them just doing that to bring them out of the background and differentiate them. In this case it makes you want to see what comes out of her understandable fascination with Shizuo.
It is rather amusing that in the restaurant Varona isn't good for much more than handing out hot towels.

Another good one, oddly I am finding the yakuza connected stuff entertaining. The hilarity when those punks thought they were going to kidnap a girlfriend, two teenage girls, and a random little girl, to try and hold hostages over Shizuo. Little did they know it was a Russian mob boss's daughter turned assassin, Izaya's twin sisters, and the Yakuza boss's daughter.
Vorona has been in need to grow, it was great how her father angrily made her stay at the restaurant which likely been made for her to learn to listen to other people and think beyond killing someone.

No objections there. Really liked this episode. Art and animation were great. Hope this keeps up.

Varona's side of the story.
Akabayashi & Akane, so sweet.
Shizuo just got a fan.
That Russian sushi place sure is full of surprises.
Varona was pretty impressive & a perfect match for Shizuo.
Those kidnappers were in for an unpleasant surprise..

I really love how this season is showing us the fact that not only is Shizuo a badass, but that he actually has a kind side as well. He's always been my favorite character in this show and his greater character development has just strengthened my love for him.
The real life Ikkebukuro is going to be quite dull when I visit it this September!

Durarara!! x2 Ten episode 5
Yup, there's definitely a stalker problem this episode:
And pacing felt like it got a bit slow. I don't mind it though especially seeing Celty in action on the road. That was a fabulous moment.

Good episode, got me hyped. I'm excited for more Ryuugamine and what his Blue Square/Dollars team will get to, and if memory serves me correct this arc is great

Sonohara pondering about stuff.
Chat thing as lively as ever.
Dollars going out of hand..
Hijiribe's stalker problem goes straight to Izaya.
It would be a good time for Kida to come back..

Good episode, starting to see Mikado take action on rogue Dollars members. Although I know it's probably going to end badly, I'm actually rooting for him to reform the Dollars. I think I'm one of the few that actually like Ruri and Kasuka, so happy they're getting more screen time. Also, creepy stalker dude is creepy.
