Only things I noticed in Bluray version is minor details being slightly better like this here, which is the water Nori's mother controls as a contractor=>

Other than that trucks details and things like that......overall it's still a amazing re-watch but I just wished they put extra details like the bird being killed by Suou.

In spoiler my anime list for now.

Woah...Hei actually ate. He still has a ways to go before he eats as much as he did in the first season.

Nice pacing. A water-based contractor, nice we hadn't seen one yet and the fight was sweet.

Mao is so freaking cute! Those big eyes kill me!

Hahahaha, that phone stood out to me as well. xD

I'm gonna go with the theory that Izanami is either Yin or Xing (Pai)...


Yeah I don't understand tha either

I don't think Suou is a contractor, I think she might be similar to Hei somehow, I mean she has a renumeration which he doesn't have but it seems she has still kept her emotions for the most part.

Enjoyable episode, as usual for this season of DTB. It was great to see Suou's character getting developed. And Hei is on Yin(Izanami)'s traces. I just can't see what's going to happen next.

Izanami is probably just a code name for Yin. Would really like to see her back with the team.

cool episode bad to see Hei still don't have his powers but he still can put up a good fight but he is a bit rough on Suou.

Hei is still badass even without his powers :) and ugh, I can't get over how adorable July is. I love how he eats the weeds in the background while both Hei and Suou felt that it was gross. And I'm surprised that guy still likes Suou even after almost being shot by her. I guess it's because his mother is a contractor too so he was only initially shocked.

You know, I always hear good things about Darker than Black... but the miraculous second season that many many many anime Never get is always talked about negatively and is given a lot of flack. When I watched the first episode, I was kinda wondering about that. That first episode worked for me. ... By now, I've figured it out. Let's see... it goes from a Dark Psychological thriller mystery.. to I swear just another high school anime. What has become of Hei... Undoubtedly one of the coolest anime characters out there in the first season? He goes from cool spy syndicate assassin, aka Chinese electric batman, to ... a homeless drunk criminal that kidnaps and sexually harasses minors while beating them to get what he wants.. and hei lost his freakin' super powers... *cringe* Yeah, they ruined him. This is going to be a long 7 episodes. All the other characters that you liked are dead... They for no reason turned Mao into an annoying comic relief character...(He was already.. but not to this existent. I guess that they did it in a more serious mature way before... now I see freakin' Juli from Brother's Conflict when he is on scene... which makes it worse.) AND instead of focusing on the adult characters because this was an adult anime... They freakin' make main character a red headed teenaged girl with a magical girl transformation sequence.. F*ck.. Ok, do you guy see how there is sometimes wisdom in NOT making a squeal? You know what all this adds up to? All the things that made the first season distinct and a great anime have been lost making this just another generic anime. I swear that I have seen this anime 50 times already.. and I'm not done watching. I'll retract everything I have said today if some how they manage to redeem themselves by the end of the season.

When I saw them eating weeds, I thought to myself. *Why didn't they just eat the Crane she killed?" Tastes like chicken!

Exactly my thought =P
Why eat grass when you just kileld a huge chicken, way more nutrients in meat^^

Oh and I'm the only one who think Suou's power is quite pathetic?
It takes roughly 10 seconds for her to "summon" the gun, and that does not include the time it takes to mount it and aim.
She only gets 5 bullets then she must resummon the whole bloody thing again plus on top of that it needs maintenance... very inconvenient if you ask me.

Anyway good episode but I'm starting to miss some real action in the series, hopefully we'll see some in the next episode though.


You guys saw what that gun did to a concrete wall right? Imagine that hitting a frail skinny bird. There is nothing of that bird left to eat lol.

So, the mother of that random kid appears, and she's a contractor too. What a reunion.
I thought that the more time you were a contractor you became used to the lack of emotions and interest and ended up adapting to it, like November 11 or April, they were both contractors and they did not seem to lack emotions or even interests, not even Amber.
Anyway, that random guy that is following Suou... I want him AWAY from her. Come on! She's just a little girl! fuck off!

This second season fills me with emotions. Hei, what is happening to you? In the first season he always had that dark look on him but now he's dead...
Suou as a contractor seems to be a peculiar case, not even Hei or Mao know what's up with her.

Anyway, I chuckled a little....
Suou sees a cockroach. Suou hates cockroaches. Suou attempts to erase cockroach from existence with a anti-tank sniper rifle.

Different =/= bad.

I'm loving this season, but I can think of some reasons:
  • It's not directly linked to the end of the first season and has a huge unsolved cliffhanger.
  • Hei is a drunk ashole than breaks the image of they Hei we loved in season 1 (I understand he had to be passing through a lot to be like he is now...)
  • Hei is not the "Main MC" but Suou. Hei is secondary in this story, he even has a secondary play in the OP.
  • It's different, and some people don't like things different. Change is hard, but in this case I find it beautiful. I feel like this is another stage of Hei's life, it's amazing no matter how bad it seems to be. Life is in constant change. Also, Hei is no the center of the universe and now he's training his own loli contractor, what better way to bring back the old Li-kun?
  • It gives an air of end for Hei.

This was.... an episode. Nothing more really to say on that other than the fact that a show with an interesting setting and powers still after 30 episodes continues to feel so flat and uninspired, especially in this second season when there is finally a story with some time and investment but still feels so unneeded and uninteresting.

Suou shoots the bird, giving into her contractor side.

It's interesting to watch Hei's fights now, considering how, in S1, he would've killed all of those contractors within seconds of the fight.

It's a shame Hei lost his powers. His ability wasn't particularly overpowered to begin with, and now he loses it too? Way to handicap him in a universe where nearly everyone seems to have some godly power.
Is the dreadlock guy relevant to anything or just the comic relief for this season?

This season is complete garbage! It seems that it was made by & for imbeciles. The "jokes/gags" are flat at best, at worst moronic.

The ped0 "romance thing" between that tranny son and the Pav something chick is cringe af. The ped0 comments made by that other contractor dude, the one that can wrap himself inside concrete/metal is also cringe af, the girl is 12/14! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! UNNECESSARY, UNCALLED for and CERTAINLY NOT FUNNY!

The entire "cockroach gag" thing, was that suppose to be funny? To try to convey some type of message? Maybe to tell us that the Pav girl is still human? Either way it felt stupid, flat, not funny and unnecessary, pure cringe fest.
Me every time I hear the word "reparations": 🤣🤣🤣
