[Natsuki Hyuga]

Spoiler for Episode 2:

-Was kinda surprised with Seiji's blatant and eccentric statement about not wanting to go to school and make friends... Eccentric character number one spotted! Interesting narrations over the characters is interesting though.
-Oh God, oh God, oh God~ I can't believe it but Izaya's actions, in which I don't know where to put and understood at this time of moment, actually makes me like him more The scene where he suggests the girl whoever she is since I don't put much attention to her 89 was buying me all over~!
-Certy, I agree and approve with what you do when you saw the vending machine flew to the sky: Shake your head. *nods*
-Holy shit. I seriously love the rooftop sequence. Be it the part Izaya went all twisted, when he just brushes off the girl, and and... Oh my, sorry, but I'm too hyper on his introduction here~
-Kida, get a sense of commonness here please -w-;; I still snerk a bit on the last scene with Kida.
-Personally I hope the girl just not get involved anymore for the reason I don't like the archetype 8)b I would be better knowing her for just this one episode lmao Though I guess big props for her for being a 'plot device' this time to flesh out Izaya and bring some of Certy's personality very bits

Spoiler for Longer impression and more personal :

It's interesting to note that there are traces of simpler Baccano! technique they use here. I found the repetition in Baccano!, albeit interesting since the same scene got repeated in different angle, got reused too much. ^ ^; So I was quite happy that it doesn't make me want to Fast Forward~

... Reused footage scene aside though 8D; Certy's reused footage could be reduced imho, but that's minor thing.

The main treat here would be Kamiya voicing Izaya here, personally I didn't think he would be able to pull of playful but still contains tone of cynicism (err... Of sorts) here, but oh wow, I love his Izaya so much, all came off in one perfect combination of dangerous and bastard-ish but very interesting in every sorts that you can't help but to get attracted to him. Yes, Izaya is not someone you can trust and is on, idealically put, 'good' way but damn, anything he did and think just attract me. More development for him is just gonna be a win-win situation for me B)b

Definitely more interesting than the first episode, especially since Yagiri Seiji was unexpected in good sense during his very short introduction. Though evidently, I was all over for Izaya's here. ;-w- C'mon, having Kamiya went 腹黒 and all twisted on you is one rare treat!!!

I'm still not seeing the direction this is supposed to go but I'm patient enough to wait for it (even if worst case it is not revealed until at least a quarter of the airing; which is not the case imho). I'm pretty much preferring some fleshing out and connect with the character better in early episodes than to compensate with long-winded, dragged out exposition and 'lol-surprise-not' in the latter part, for sure.

So yeah, expect all out fangirling for girls here
