damn one episode left damn but kida kun could take some blows wow too bad he didnt have shizo strength,they would have get pwn in 2 mins.Guess i wait for the subs to understand whats going on.

Spoiler for 23:

Kida is like mini Shizuo now, I guess more ezperience will let him do a lot.
Shizuo walking like nothing happened?? 0_o I knew he was special but I think that they kinda over did it here.
Izaya looks like doing woodo...
And that was a mean cliffhanger! Though I'm a bit sad that Celty came so quickly, I wanted Anri action

Preview: Looks like Izaya's plan was destroyed... and is it just me or did Izaya and Namie switch places? 0_o
She is working with computer and documents while we see Izaya behind with shopping bag..

[pampz21]

remember...he said he just trip and the next time he knew blood started cummin and like nothing happened says " Ah Ive been shot"....and started walkin like he normally does!

[velocd]

For a second I thought Kida was gonna start fighting like Graham Specter (similar setting and weapon--hell they even look a bit alike). Alas the fight was brief, but still surprised Kida is actually a fighter.

[pampz21]

well he won't be a leader if he's weak right...like mikado he's smart....and is ready to help people

I wanted some Anri action too

From the preview guess Izaya got struck down a bit when the war he wanted didn't transpire.

yeah, you right, but what about anri-chan?????

Mikado = smart
Masaomi = strong
Anri = ???

Sexy maybe

[kitten320]

Anri has hypnose

And is insane enough to be able to live with Saika that never shuts up

I can't wait to see his defeated expression, maybe some Namie mocking to top it

[Shiroth]

Simon's message on Celty's phone was incredible touching. Easily the best scene this week.

I'm pretty shocked at how well Kida handled himself their in that little fight, though it didn't last long. & then the three meet. Oh my.

[Dollars.jp]

Agreed, when I saw Simon's message on Celty's phone I literally had to fight back the tears. Simon is just such a profound character, I'm glad we got to delve a little bit into his psyche in this episode.

Honestly, I can't even keep singing praise for this show, it's literally so good that I'm just at a loss for words. Easily my favorite Anime of all time, and one that I would recommend to people who don't even like any sort of Anime in the slightest. The episode was so incredible that I was literally at a loss for words up until a couple of minutes ago. It's going to be such a bummer to have Friday roll around and not have this show; it sounds lame, but even though friday is a fun day (no classes, going out to clubs, having all weekend to hang out,) watching Drrr!! after getting out of class and/or work is what really made me excited for it to be the weekend, and always left me feeling good, which was a nice jump-start to the weekend ahead. Please, if there is any justice in the world, give us a 2nd season, or at least start publishing the Light Novels in English.

good episode. Setting out everything for a finally. And Kida in the near end against the blue square rocks. Then their is Anri slashing her way plus mikado and celty on the bike. At first I find it hard to watch the episode... feeling it so slow but when it gets on the second part. It just felt too fast.

[Kallen4life]

WOW

Shizuo really is a monster .. hope he shows up to finish BSquares

Kida is almost a mini-Shizuo .. good 4 him .. blonde + lanky in Ikebukuro = badass

Simon rocks too

Anri should be in Bleach l@l .. slicing like that

preview for Izaya is awesome .. scheme = fail and Namie put one over on him ?


DRRR is easily a 10+ and I see the season will finish up nicely .. I can only hope for a S2



is there any way to read translated novels ???

[Auria]

Awesome episode, but animation quality this time (especially in the scene when shizuo was in the appartment) was just.. wtf lol

[Kallen4life]

I though it was the same as usual

jsut Shinra requires 'funimation' sometimes

[Cub-Sama]

Most epic line ever "I thought I slipped on the rain then I noticed the blood and realized I got shot"

Is Shizuo the terminator? No...hmm...a Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee and Terminator hybrid maybe?

Kida, Shizuo and Izaya easily my favourite characters, Simon would be up there if he got more screen time.

[kitten320]

I wonder why Namie looked a bit worried/scared this time around, was Izaya more crazy than usual?

[King Lycan]

Keeps getting better and better
Happy to see Shizou Back in action thought he was going to die :'(
