No surprise people
Think she’s unapproachable:
She’s always fuming.
I also found it interesting that Celty is seemingly on good terms with Shizou, who doesn't really strike me as the kind of person who'd be easy to be on good terms with under any circumstances, though it's an interesting change of pace from his hair-trigger temper. Guess he's actually a pretty low-key guy when not on the job or hunting down Izaya.
I'm going to have to watch the earlier episodes again. I can't figure out if Izaya knows what Celty is, and is helping her by telling her about the artist, or if to him she's a mystery, and what he's really doing is trying to get her to reveal what he suspects. Namely, that she is the Dullahan.
I also prefer to think it wasn't intended as guro, but it was close enough (I did say 'borderline') to bring it up. Guro is in essence a two-for-one for those who want both porn and slasher-film level gore, after all.

NothingClever (post: 1372100) wrote:True, but if he's scared of her changing when she finds her head (i can't remember if either of them mentioned that or i just inferred it) that gives him a powerful disincentive to wanting her to succeed. After all, she has been with him for twenty years and he is a doctor for the mob, how many close friends can he have?

All things considered.

Grr, I wanna go watch the video, but it's Youtube is blocked by the school.
