We've got more notes to you from our dear Dead Guy. C'mon guys... I know he's a rotten corpse, but show some LOVE! Pleasantries aside, let's get down to business. Dead Guy hit up the Aniplex panel and managed to get a few interesting snippets of information to share with all of us.

Wow, guys - it's the second to last episode of Durarara!!! We've come so far together, you and me and this goofy cast of characters and this goofy, frustrating and sometimes infuriating show. I hope you've enjoyed the journey, because I've had a blast and a half.

OK, so, remember the ending of last episode where Sonohara was being escorted away by some Yellow Scarves and the Dollars message board was lighting up with details about where she was and Mikado was staring at his computer all, "durrrrrrrrrrr?" Well guess who's still got his DURRR-face on!

I think Durarara!! wants us to see Mikado as the hero of the whole adventure, the spunky protagonist who could make or break it all. And you know what? I don't find him likeable in the least, especially in this episode. Watch this episode and you tell me: nice guy or self-centered jerkface?

My relationship with Durarara!! is what you might call rocky, a rollercoaster of emotions. If we were still sticking to the sandwich metaphor, I'd probably say that I wanted to send it back, but then I had a good bite and decided to keep it, but then I had another bad bite and I wanted to send it back again, but ultimately I decided to keep on truckin'.

Remember last time when I commented that the preview for Episode 19 - which featured Izaya smiling and everyone else looking miserable - boded ill for our heroes? Well that's +10 points for me, thanks for playing!

I think the mark of a well-developed character is that you sympathize with and root for him/her, even if you don't always agree with him/her or even totally like him/her.

Sometimes I let my sarcastic nature and general cynicism about anime completely take over the HoungBlog - it's been pointed out to me, more than once, don't worry. But I'm about to say something that I need you to read as completely free of sarcasm and 100% serious: freakin' awesome episode! Oh, Durarara!!, you cheeky scamp...you do know how to keep a blogger on her tippy toes.
