Spoiler for Episode 11:

Great episode, though it didn't live up to my expectation. Celty and Mikado were superb in this and the ones that were unforgettable have to be... Isaac and Miria... I didn't expect to see them in this. And they are Dollars too!

So it seems that Mikado is a genuine, innocent boy who found out Dollars that he created had gone all wrong and came all the way to Ikebukuro just to investigate in this. I kind of feel sorry for him when his friends all left him. It's nice to see that he's responsible enough to try to at least manage the Dollars.

And... am I the only one who find Toshiyuki's voice in this episode rather... different? He sounds much cooler than usual. He didn't use his boyish voice in this episode at all.

[Noata]

Anime seems to be going the more funny/silly route...

Spoiler for Ep11:

Mikado's scene didn't feel as epic as in the novels.

i was wondering if the author would put any of the immortals in Drrr.

[Edge Meltdown]

cross-over between baccano and drrr? I like that and even a cameo would be great too

[Shiroth]

Wait what Isaac and Miria? Images please!

It's the same universe, so nothing really special

I know it's the same universe, though the fact that they've appeared in this is very special imo.

[Project_MkUltra]

I can't wait for the subs. I've been excited for this ep since last week when I first saw the preview.

woohoo! isaac and miria! i'll just wait for everyone else

[Project_MkUltra]

WTF? Isaac and Miria appear here?

Now I want this ep to be subbed more.

[Katapan]

Spoiler for Episode 11:

I thought the episode was fantastic. All this Mikado development was exactly what I wanted, felt thoroughly satisfying, and boy, did Toshiyuki Toyonaga do an outstanding job - a perfectly believable and welcome transition to a pretty damn cool voice. Yeah, I've grown completely fond of Mikado after this episode... even more than before.

Then, of course, the Miria & Isaac cameos just put a huge grin on my face. There were definitely some pretty hilarious parts here and there, especially the succession of the Kuroshitsuji, Jigoku Shoujo and Hijiribe Ruri mail ringtones.

I'd just complain a bit about the production values this week (I was most annoyed by seeing Namie's bodyguards three times in a row - definitely unneeded and saving up frames), but since there were so many crowds to draw (with colors on top of that!)... I suppose I can understand.

Also, I definitely wouldn't mind jumping onto the Seiji hate wagon this time around~ You just had to know some kind of weapon was going to pop up the moment you heart his voice call out to Mikado.

Damn, Makoto Yoshimori's soundtrack will never cease being so awesome.

[issei]

Spoiler for Episode 11 production values:

Regarding production values, I can't really complain, what with Celty's awesome scenes toward the end. It's refreshing to see her go into full-on badass mode, regardless of the circumstances.

[Natsuki Hyuga]

In between, I just can't stop fangirling in this episode just like Miria <333

Spoiler for Episode 11:

Love, LOVE how they reveal 'who' DOLLARS members are: basically all people in Ikebukuro with exceptions of so few. From grey to colours-that was beyond awesome in practice oh God----- My ears though-that was too much ringtones lmao

Second half was awesomely satisfying. Happier climax episode than I was anticipating, but that was not wrong by any level especially seeing I fangirled directly when the pace increases!

Overall, was so much love seeing the text message from Mikado a.k.a the admin is left intact (Pffft, spoiled @ this!), seeing all of the Ikebukuro strongest three are DOLLARS members Actually screw that, everyone is DOLLARS members were much more epic, Miria and Isaac cameo and them still being our lovely Miria and Isaac with Shinsengumi garments, Celty's awesome motorcycle-cum-horse riding technique and its sheer epicness etc etc~~

And much badassery points for Celty, plus emotional voice acting from Miyuki Sawashiro just blend to awesomeness for me :3 Speaking of Voice acting, Toyonaga Toshiyuki's hoarse tones makes me but seriously one of the best thing in this episode is definitely his voice acting! /Chalks up Toyonaga one mark.

... They just have to cut it in the cliffhanger part, don't they? TT_TT I know that Mikado should not die for the sake of the DRRR!! universe, but still!! D:

PREVIEW: F*** you Seiji, can't you just go to a hole and rot already? :|a AND WAS THAT CELTY'S HEAD ON IZAYA'S HAND? 8|!

Spoiler for More personal~:

Words can't describe how happy I am watching the reveal and last halfs of he show. The scenes were just happily epic for my heart and I couldn't say how much it really nearly killed me in happiness.

I can't remember how long has it been since I'm damn impressed and blown away by anime scene, but God, thank you for letting Brains Base directing this! I don't need much too over-the-top-lol action, over-the-top-cliche epikku scene, I just need this satisfying feeling <3 And yes, I don't mind the toning down or w/e, as long as I can enjoy it, whether the original was better or not, it's satisfying <3

... Will Celty just marry Shinra already? I'm on the verge of killing the creators from the sugar they throw once and then!

[Kunagisa]

Seems like a good episode, still have yet to watch it, but feel like I should jump in the bandwagon and read all the spoilers.

Kinda surprised those people showed up because I didn't like it's the same universe. Also it seems like it doesn't fail to disappoint. Thanks to Katapan and issei that I can now look forward to the episode because of the production value, which was my main concern anyway.

Spoiler for minor random spoiler of nonity from 11:

It's not my fault~~ They are already like husband and wife, with the wife being the one who proposed (well, sort of) in flashback of this episode.

... The arrangement is not wrong I tell you. Shinra is the fangirl wife, Celty is the badass husband. THIS IS CORRECT. 8|b

And watch the episode, I can't wait for your impression already

[Hypernova]

Man did Celty had a break down. She's going through a major identity crisis right now.

[raruku]

waiting for the sub guys
