Durarara!! Episode 24 (The Finale... kinda) Disc.

[ Edited ]

Episode 24: Selfless Devotion

 

Where we last left off, Shizuo is apparently fine even after getting shot in the stomach. And now he's getting payback against the Yellow Scarves... and Masaomi! Speaking of which, the Yellow Scarves have discovered that Mikado is the leader of the now defunct Dollars as well as Masaomi's friend and has thrown Masaomi out of leadership position. And when he returns to face his past once more, he finds his Mikado, Anri, and Celty there as well.

 

The leader of the non-existant Dollars, the former leader of the Yellow Scarves, the mother of the Slashers and the headless rider that the entire town of Ikebukuro revolved around. When the smoke clears, will their friendship still stand?

 

Discussion Rules Here

 

Enjoy the (sorta) finale. Yeah, there's still one more episode after this, but as far as the main story of the anime is concerned, it ends here.

While I did not understand all of it, this show has been a wonder to watch. And a rewatch is pretty much required!  I thank [as] for picking it up and hopefully giving the DVDs some more advertising!

 

Goo jah!

Yeah, this has been a great series so far, with only a "hint" of the Supernatural in Celty and the Saika sword that creates Slashers.

But tomorrow night it all comes to a head--and I'm sure Izaya will have some role left to play besides just being the ultimate puppet master...
This Saturday Night, on [adult swim]: TOONAMI'S BACK, BlTCHES!! A New Bleach Episode (255) kicks us off at Midnight, followed by the SERIES PREMIERES of Deadman Wonderland at 12:30 and Casshern Sins at 1! Then, we've got 3 back-to-back classics: FMA:B Episode 32 "Fuhrer's Son" at 1:30, followed by GITS: 2nd Gig at 2 and Cowboy Bebop at 2:30! Bummed out that Durarara!!'s gone, and still wanna finish it? Episodes 22-25 are streaming in [as] Video until Thursday!

Elsewhere: New season of ThunderCats continues Saturday at 9:30 AM on CN! Avatar: The Legend of Korra continues Saturdays at 11 AM on Nickelodeon!

She hasn't exactly acted as a minor character throughout this arc, what with her saving Anri from the Yellow Scarves (twice), telling Mikado the truth, and going on a motorcycle search for Anri and Masaomi last episode. It's just that she's been relegated to the "superhero who saves the day, but doesn't get much focus" role.

 

I keep reminding people that she's the main character and that it's best if you think of her like Batman in the 90s animated series (Batman is the main character, but a lot of episodes focus on the villains and other characters with Batman being the one to solve the problem in the end). Or maybe even Batman in the Tim Burton films (again, main character, but most of the focus was on the villains).

A story shouldn't just give people what they want, but also what they didn't know they wanted.

So...wait..this is the finale? THIS is? (so what comes on next week?)

 

Either way, fantastic! Will sooo be here. Will not miss it!!

 

(sniff)...oh man...this is the end!! Where did the time go? This show was so great.  Soo unique and trippy, and Twin Peak-y and so different from a lot of other animes! I'd rank it along the lines of a more sci-fi Cowboy Bebop.

 

But just two arcs though.

 

The only thing I do hope for tonight is that Izaya finally gets a one way trip to hell that he sooo has coming to him and Celty does agree to marry Shinra.

COWBOY BEBOP FOREVER!!
MAY YOU GO ON FOR 10 MORE YEARS!!

Never underestimate a girl- never underestimate Balsa!

YOU CAN'T STOP THE BEBOP!

Don't let go....Durarara, FLCL, Big O...
See ya, Space Cowgirls!

THREE arcs (seriously, why do people keep on thinking the Slasher arc and the Yellow Scarves arc are the same arc?). Anyways, next week's episode is the epilogue to Durarara. Yes, it's a real episode (not a clip, rehash, or any other cheap knock-off that creators like to pass as episodes). Yes, it takes place after the events of tonight's episode. No, it doesn't really have much to do with the story. But honestly, I think it's a better conclusion than tonight's episode.

Because it's the mid-point where the two arcs are in, and therefore, where a second season of a show usually starts?  I dunno.

I just remember a lot of people complaining that Mikado, Masaomi, and Anri were dominating the second half. I just watch the Slasher arc and go, where are Mikado and Masaomi? :smileyvery-happy:

 

Same thing with Mikado in the Yellow Scarves arc. For the first three episodes of that arc, I forgot he was in the show.

Well hope it will prove to be a big one, and they find out who is controling them here.

Funny how Horada isn't scared of Celty, yet is scared of a fourteen year old. And the butt-kicking commences.
