Ketsu 1

I feel like the OP is a step down from Ten. That one had an ominous air about Ryuugamine's development, this one feels just kind of the usual throwaway OP line-up. No new characters in it and aside from the highlight of Shinra in Celty's helmet I can't find anything too interesting about it. The ED I like better mostly because of Celty's head finally appearing like that.

As for the episode, usual stuff, with plenty of comedy, which I like. Bit weird that people behind Celty can read what's on her phone, but whatever, it would be a pain to animate her flashing that to everyone in the room. Shinra looking pretty grim in there, which I like. Psychopath Shinra protecting his headless waifu is a good Shinra.

I liked the showing of the traffic cop as an alright dude.

I like the OP, but I don't think that FLOW's style really fits very well with Drrr.

I can't think of an anime with a greater quantity of such fun and interesting characters.

Not that I really like all of them. I thought Namie was kind of cool when it seemed that Izaya had her on a leash. Now she mostly just a tiresome Level-5 bro-con relegated to worn-out dialog with phrases like "thieving cat" and so on.

I hope this season lives up to expectations.

DRRR! Ketsu Episode 2:

This episode was pretty interesting. Izaya's still intimidating as ever and I feel like Anri was falling for his mind traps for a moment until Erika came to her help.

Niekawa is still strange as I remember even in this third part.
Rokujo still a player like usual.

The conversation about humans was also fairly interesting this episode. Nice buildup overall.

Izaya up to no good again.
Always trying to fulfill his agenda.
Poor spoiler[Anri]..
spoiler[Kasane] was enjoying her freedom.
spoiler[Mikado] obviously went off the rails.
Who knows how it'll end for him..
Poor spoiler[Cetly] got overwhelmed.

Erika's friendly appearance hiding her actual dislike or anger, she is pretty awesome.

I thought that Saika weilder #3 was cold and just a killer, but her activities in the episode were buying cat ears with the plan to wear them to a cat or butler café, now that she has freedom.

Everyone has their own plans, Celty's head was even randomly thrown in the street just to screw with Izaya.

Kind of interesting that the episode was all about powerful and or scary women, and we got no mention of Vorona.

Durarara Ketsu episode 3:

Kasane Kujiragi is a really strange girl, just as much as Haruna imo. And she's armed with a dangerous ability as well (referred to her as one of Saika's?) Anyways, I thought the episode was interesting with the two conversations - Mikado and Izaya and Anri and Haruna. I might have to rewatch a bit more to see what they really mean especially the parts about Raika. And Haruna wants to be Anri's "friend"? Hmm....

Hiroto looks like he might be getting into some trouble if not careful.

Solid episode overall, really looking forward to the next one as I'm curious tos ee what else Kujiragi has to say.

When will Celty finally get her head back?
She certainly deserves it.
Anri dealing with Haruna.. not an easy task.
Mikado sure is changing..
Kasane is an interesting one... pretty cool.

Glasses-boobs has always been my least favorite character so during her scenes, I was meh.

Izaya is entertaining every second he is on screen though. Can't complain too much. Anime hyper

WTF HEAD. IS IT STILL SITTING IN THAT BUSH I DON'T..... Shocked

Haruna's swirly eyes are freaking me out, man.

DRRR! Ketsu episode 4:

I knew that Kujiragi had more knowledge about Saika than most expected. I think her advice to Anri this episode was interesting to remember as well. Ah, I just love the smooth action of this season as usual. Good to see it again. I'm curious to see what else Kuirjagi has to say next time. She is such an intriguing character at this point.

Shizuo's release from jail is a nice sight to see too, hopefully he'll play a prominent role soon. Great episode~

So Izaya got Varona to steal the head for getting Shizuo released, Shizuo is none to pleased about it.

And now another Saika (child of Saika).
