But damn, that would be an ideal world if Russians spoke Japanese instead of Russian xDD

No offence but the Russian language sound like shite so personally I'm very glad the stick to Japanese ;)

Glad Mao's been confirmed, and the form of a flying squirrel none the less =P
Wonder how he feel about that one after being a cat for so long^^

I hope Hei gets his powers back soon, luckily for him he was kick ass before he became a contractor, so even without the abilities he got the strength and wit to take out all nameless goons and supporting bad guys :P

Not so sure about Suou's awakening though, first off that rifle is fugly and ridiculously large. Plus it doesn't seems to be any more powerful than the real thing, quite weak power imo.
Also don't this remind you very much of a certain vampire hunting sniper girl with a very similar looking gun?^^

then got her naked.

Well, thing is, he didn't, she did herself to dry her clothes, she also took of some of Hei's clothes to dry them. All of this while Hei was unconcious.

He just has to get used to fighting without his power, after having used it for so long : p

Is it just me, or are there far too many characters being introduced for a 12 episode series. Sadly, this series has resorted to using twins for whatever reason.

I hope that that "her" Hei is referring to is Kirihara, because that would make for an interesting plot.

It doesn't seem like Hei should have had any problem killing Tanya, even without his powers. He is the black reaper, just shoot or strangle her.

Mao was a squirrel as I predicted, but I still think the explanation of his memories is suspect.

Next weeks episode looks a little weird.

Although they seem to be killing them off quite efficiently, so no problems detected there xD

And to think this is only 12 episodes. There's a lot of information circulating in this series. I'm assuming the stone increases her abilities to allow her to summon a rifle but her real ability being able to track down targets easily as shown in the episode when she was taking instructions from July. Lolzwut at Mao being in Pecha too.

lulz at slayer5... I mean francismeniur.

Badass episode. I don't know why but I'm resembling Hei to Big Boss (Metal Gear Solid 4) a lot, and with Suou's awakening the first thing that came to my mind was: Sniper Wolf now!

Anyway, I'm loving this. There was really a lot of movement in here and I just laughed at Mao's new body. Finally its confirmed he didnt died in the first season.

For now I wanna see how July will go with Hei's team and what happened between Hei and Yin T^T

MAO! <3
Glad to see he's back since he was my favourite character after Hei from last season. I LOL every time I see him talking out of the flying squirrel, though xD His black cat look was definitely more dignified.

I have to agree about the number of characters this series has so far o_o; It seems that every time I figure out who the hell someone is, they get killed off, which makes me forget about them in the end.

The fanservice is also a bit annoying so far, but it's still tolerable.

As for the episode itself, I liked it. Suou with the giant gun-thing was pretty cool, in combination with July, but I do miss seeing Hei kick ass with his electricity. I'm still a bit confused as to just who everyone is, what "side" everyone is on, what people's motivations are, etc. Again, it doesn't help that there are about a dozen different characters to keep track of so far. Oh well, I'll figure it out all later >.>

I see, after rewatching it I noticed Hei looked toward Suou when it was said. The way Mao said he came to give hei new orders made me think it could be Amber for some reason or someone else, so that's what confused me.

I don't know about you guys ,but I really like Suoh/Hei in this. I miss Yin alot as well and I have a feeling that the blonde woman (Madame) has to do something with Yin...
I prefer old Hei, but I think that he's OK now, just need some time to get used to him though WITHOUT his power (must be a pain for him xD)
I'm really happy that Mao is back and I think that it's really funny how he's a squirrel now xD
I like Suoh's weapon now and I found that the July/Suho combo is EPIC ^^
It's kind of funny to see Hei with 2 kids & a squirrel around, plus he seems to be like a lolicon now xD (which I like , yup I'm weird :p)

So Mao... is still alive. That was shocking. I thought he died in season one. Oh well, I guess I'm glad that he's still alive (sort of).

Anyways, this episode was good only because of the Kirihara part. Good to see her having more screen time :)

But I wasn't express with Suou being such a brainless idiot. It took her that long to realize that she was in a life or death situation? This isn't the DTB that I know.

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

The little girl is getting really irritating. I wish she'd just stay in her unconscious form. It was just awesome with that rifle. July being the only remnant of November, I hope he doesn't die. Then Hei's back to his original Reaper form.

So now August really is dead. How disappointing...
Idk this was kind of a lousy episode imo, I just didn't enjoy it. Too much was going on and now all of a sudden July will be traveling with Hei? I'm perfectly fine with the latter, but it was just too random. Oh well at least Genma's group is very amusing.

So, apparently Hei hates Yin now.......I;m sure we'll see why pretty soon. And anyone notice all the bodies in the background with Yin? Looked like a pretty big fight.

So far, I;m liking the new season, but I miss the old Hei, hopefully he'll be back and Mao will go back to being a cat, I don't really like the Sugar Glider or Flying Squirrel he is.

Actually I think July was much closer to April then he was to November. I'm guessing she was like a mother figure to him. Actually, I that was may have been said in the 1st series.

Awesome episode! I think Suou's powers has to do with materializing things, not just guns. I think I forsee her materializing a motorcycle in the near future. With July telling her how to ride it. Maybe even materialize a tank o_o

I do not care much for the whole Yin + Hei drama, but I'm assuming that something went down and now Hei wants to kill her. Needs more information on the subject.

Was that a tranny in the preview of the episode 4? Tranny Contractor? Oh my...

I'm actually loving the change from the episodic nature, that was my only real qualm with the last season.

@guyklc: I think the trigger for Suou going into contractor mode and summoning the pwn cannon was from all of those people close to her being killed by contractors, not her being like "OMGIMIGHTDIE".

Oh, and uh... speaking of contractor Suou, it seems like she's going to be retaining emotions, like Hei did last season. Thus contributing to my theory that Suou borrowed powers from Pai through Hei during that little forcefield incident.

whoa poor Nika. lots of people dying and fast so far. they totally used Tanya to dupe him and the way she killed him was just very harshs. so Mao is in the squirrel now instead of a cat? cool as long as he's back I guess.

seems July is working with them, and there's some connection with those twin lollies and that french chick. I'm thinking Suuo will have some kind of powers like here but keep emotions like Hei somehow. yay for going back to Japan and more Kirihara.

Tanya that b!tch. For what happened to Nika, I wish Hei didn't stop her from firing. Really confused about what happened with Yin...maybe the ova or further episodes will explain more in depth. Nonetheless, yes!, mao is still alive!


...Hei turned soft and became a drunk bum.
