Got to say I am really enjoying Durarara!! X2 Anyone else

>>120494607
No. You are the only one.

>>120494666
I really am 1 in a million, my mum was right I truly am a special snowflake

>>120494666
Sounds about right.

>>120494666
I'm glad Satan agrees.

>>120494607

Ya, I'm kinda enjoying it. The art has a decent amount of soul, the story almost feels like it moves with motions of the world.

That girl with the glasses is a bitch and is ruining everything.

>>120494807
>implying there wasn't a complete bitch in the first season.

>>120494807
Are you talking about the twin because I love her and her sister or are you talking about the Saika girl who goes to the highschool? because yeah she isn't my favorite character but at the same time she is tolerable compared to my least favorite character in most other anime

>>120494666
I don't like you very much, satan but you have decent taste

>>120494607
I am too. I'm enjoying this kind plot where multiple characters have intertwining stories.

>>120494607
Have Mikado and Kida made up yet?

Celty is cute!

>>120494607
Maybe I will when the soty starts going anywhere. And starts to make sense.

>>120494607
not really it has too many characters and i dont really care for any of them other than celty and the dollar guy

Should I watch this if I liked the first half of season 1 but hated the fuck out of the second half?

>>120494607
Sure am. I never understood /a/'s beef with Durarara when they can sit through fucking Yuru Yuri and enjoy it. Can't handle multiple plot lines? Sucks to be juvenile.

>>120495459
Yes since will be a repeat of s1, good first half shit second half.

>>120494607
I think I'll skip Durarara this season and wait for it to finish. I feel like I'll benefit from watching it back to back, focusing only on it alone, than watching a single episode per week along with other shows.

>>120495459
The second half was ruined because Kida and moot and Anri were the center of the story, this time they're not as prominent and the new characters are going to be bouncing off based Shizuo

>>120495498
>>120495498

>beef with durarara
What are you, new? The only problem some anons had with it was that it wasnt Baccano S2.

>>120495556
Best plan if I ever heard one but you'll miss out on discussion threads.

>>120495631
>What are you, new
Are YOU? People usually bitch about the pacing and how inferior the second half was to the first. They also like to hate it because it was super popular and the fanbase were fujoshits. And yes, butthurt Baccanofags shitting up every other thread before this aired didn't help matters.

I'm still butthurt over no Baccano Season 2, so I am not watching it out of spite.

I-I'll just check the archive afterwards and imagine myself conversing with you guys.

>>120495666
>>120495786
The threads have been surprisingly all right, pretty chill because not very many people are watching

>>120495766
Well, yeah, the second half was worse. Just because something is good doesn't make it perfect.
But int he end /a/ has always generally just thought 'it's Baccano but slightly less good.'

>>120494666
>>120495666

Alright, seriously, which one of you assholes did the ritual?

Baccano deserved a better fate than just being sort cast-off dead story.

It was Highlander, with mobsters, on a nice train.

>>120495987
Based KitaEri playing it hyper, but I also liked Ruri in the last ep. I hope we get to see lots more of her and Kasuka making out dispassionately ;_;

I actually am enjoying it OP, even tho i only have dim recollection of S1. It's over the top but in an entertaining way and the character design is pretty good.

The direction is like...punchier? It's certainly full of energy that the first series was missing.

Every voice actor is hitting it out of the park for it. Miyuki Sawashiro could have phoned it in because the character is so well liked, but she brought her A-game.

>"WHO! ARE! YOU?!"
Her english is still pretty good too.

Why is Anri such a shit?

don't pick on Anri she's a nice tittymonster just expending her energy on suppressing bloodthirsty murderous intent

mootkado is the boring one

>>120496168
>>120496231
No bully

The only shit character in this series is Seiji

Shinra found Celty's head, but throw it away from Japan
Dollars is disbanded, but Mikado expanded his influence to other regions. He clashed again with Chikage.
Yellow Scarves returned to its glory time.
Anri collaborated with Awakusu yakuza.
Izaya is still two-timing in Ikebukuro.
Yuuhei was assasinated by Yadogiri folks.

And Ikebukuro still hasn't changed at all

>>120494833
Izaya is the second best character in the series behind the mascot.

>>120496458
wot

>>120495459
I'm only getting second half vibes from these first few episodes.

Whatever the series had then has been buried.

>>120496658
But things are already happening

Shizuo punched a grill
Lesbian twins saved a Russian's life
Celty lost money

Second half of S1 had nothing much happening except Kida being a faggot and the gangs getting bigger and bigger

You're in a forum where people make decisions on what they liked based on how popular the title is, or how it's received by their pathetic peers.

So don't worry about /a/ not enjoying shit you like, because that's usually a good thing. This is the cesspool of anime fans.

>>120497443
>This is the cesspool
The sad irony is that many of them actually do know better, but they're caught up in the hivemind anyway. /a/ IS a goddamn hivemind because people get conditioned.

These are some crazy numbers, only 46 posts in.

Hoping they get to ballpoint pen-kado this cour.

>>120496795
Akane arc should start soon too

I look forward to it every week. I just love that sort of unique stylish tone it has. I don't even know how to describe it. Baccano had it as well.

>>120502168
It's going to be hard to not drop this just because of the character designs. I want to know what happens, but it is so painful to look at.

>>120499392
He is just really tall though.

>>120502512
There are so many things wrong with the proportions and perspective. It is so fucked.

>>120494607
It's probably because the plot is actually moving. season 1 pace was fucking slow as shit

>>120496046
It was also vastly superior.

>>120495809
For some reason they just end up being about hotpot half the time.

>>120502570
I kinda expect them to finish vol 4 next episode.
After that there should be more shizuo focus

>>120502976
That's awful. Shizuo is a boring character.

how many episode are we gonna get this season? 12 or 24?

>>120503165
12 or 13

>>120494607
Sure, I'm enjoying weird couples doing cute things.

>>120503165
It's 3 cour
Winter 14
Summer 15
Winter 15

>>120503380
So Shizuo beating Izaya almost to death in last one?

>>120502168
Fuck, I didn't notice before, now it'll hunt me.

Btt: I'm enjoying how the whole district is basically a big web of interactions.

>>120495732
After everyone rewatched it in preparation for S2, they decided the pacing wasn't really as bad as they remembered.

>>120503005
fight me

>>120503165
11~13.

>>120495001
They had a fight? When? Gosh I feel like I complety forgot everything that transpired in the first season.

>>120505530
Not exactly, but they never properly made up. Kida was being a faggot when he learnt Mikado was moot and after everything was solved he ran away out of the city with his girlfriend.

>>120503994

having just rewatched season 1 I can confirm that 2nd cour is perfectly mediocre whenever Anri or Kida aren't on screen. And terrible otherwise.

>>120503994
Probably this. I marathoned the entire first season just before watching S2 and it felt fine, just dragged on for more than it should.

>>120496249
and even he is a great character in the novels.

>>120500094
Its going to be the cliffhanger at the end of it probably along with izaya getting stabbed.

I dont understand the hate that second half of season one gets. I dont even think its inferior to the first. I mean sure we get more emo kids doing emo things, but both the saika arc and yellow scarves arc (aside from last episode) flowed nicely.

>>120506630
I wouldn't say he's a great character but he's better in the LN. Most of them are better in the LN.

>>120496249
threadly reminder that seiji is best bro

>>120502168
>scat
I'm glad that I dropped this.

>>120494607
I don't know how people are enjoying it so far. It's mediocre.

>>120508852
It feels about the same as first season, just with worse animation.

>>120508852
>>120508914
So, 1.5 more years of this shit?

>>120509050
More like 3/4 year because there'll be breaks between seasons.

>>120509087
That's a little better. I thought it would keep going in between cours.

Retardedly low quality gifs with filters and other stupid edits are 99% of the time from tumblr.

>>120510242
While the other guy is clearly an idiot, I'm not sure you're much better considering the greentext and non-sequitur. And the show is very character driven so if you aren't interested in them, the plot isn't going to be interesting, thus you probably wouldn't like the show.

I answer in earnest, because I doubt you have to pretend to behave like a retard.

Please end yourself.
