I saw a split second of Shziuo lying on the cement bleeding to death in the preview for episode 22, but when I actually saw the event, I was actually a little disappointed: I kind of wanted to see the battle: not just some scared Yellow Scarves members running away from a half-dead Shizuo. :\
Great episode, can't wait for the next one However I'm having trouble believing that the show will be over in just two episodes. The complete cast as shown in the opening hasn't even been introduced yet (Kasuka Heiwajima, and the police guy whom they added to the OP but still hasn't made an appearance this second season) and the story's still lacking sufficient coverage in certain areas. I'm hoping for another season at least, I really do not want to see this ending rushed.

Both of those characters were already introduced. The police guy is the sole reason why Celty always talks about how scary the police are. And Heiwajiima was introduced in Shizuo's flashback episode right?
Ah, I'd forgotten about Kasuka's appearance. That's been making me uneasy And sure, the cop has been shown but I've sort of been expecting another appearance; iirc his encounter with Celty was in the first season, not this one. I don't see why they'd add him to the OP and give his name, only to not have him appear after that.
Yeah, Kasuka and the police guy were shown in two episodes. I have a feeling this show'll need a second season, anyways: they still haven't introduced that blonde girl that Shizuo knows. And besides, Shinra's dad has only appeared, what, maybe twice? He's in the OP as well.
There's also the DRRR! specials to look forward to, though (hoping they get subbed.)
Without a doubt, 22 was the most intense episode ever. But.......
Spoiler :
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--!!!!!!!! SHIZUO! ;___________; I already know what's gunna happen, but I can't help but feel so completely sad and disappointed that one of my favorite characters was shot.
Well, Shizuo's ok, but after watching the ending of the episode that seems not-so-important. 24 has to be one hell of an episode too, if this is to conclude properly.

Wouldn't it be a third season then?
Actually, if they were to follow the light novels all the way, then there'd be 3+ seasons, seeing as how the light novels themselves are still being written. And considering its success in Japan, they'd have no problem doing 3+ seasons, but who knows
They've still yet to really introduce that Kinnosuke Police guy, anyways. So yeah, second season please.
Episode 23's ending was AWESOME.
Spoiler :
I can't believe Kida actually took that crap. Also, the current "leader" of the "Yellow Scarves" sure does have interesting vocal range, doesn't he? xD

I mean, all of them. Vorona is pretty awesome, some of you already know why; Mairu and Kururi are Izaya's sisters for god-sake, of course they're awesome; Hijiribe Ruri... I reaaallly don't want to spoil it for anyone, but she's gunna be pretty awesome; Chikage is hot, and he's got a real cool part to play; Aoba is... I can't say it, way too much of a spoiler; Awakusu Akane is really cute and is going to play a major part for Shizuo and Izaya; and Yadogiri... well, I wish he never existed because he.... AAAAAAAH!!!!!!! DDDDDDDDDDDDD: asdgjftalkjgkvlajgj To me, it's even more (slighttttttttttttly) depressing than Shizuo getting shot...... ;______________;
....I'm going to be reaaaaaaalleh mad.
Oh, and I don't think Kinnosuke Kuzuhara has that main of a role anyhow, but he was introduced.
