This just felt like the true sequel to the 1st season! Atmosphere made me feel like being back "home" of original DtB. It also completly blows whole 2nd season away!

We get to see and witness that Yin's mentally and emotionaly growing in comparison to other dolls. She thinks for herself, she acts on herself and she feels emotions! (I was really surprised when she told Hei that she told the manager to get a dinner enough for ten people XD ). Also Hei hugging Yin felt really... Can't describe it, it was sweet yet painful as we all know 2nd season.

But now... I've got a big question. At the end of 2nd season we get to see Yin's soul appearing at the core of hell's gate, Hei places his hand on her and next thing we see is Hei walking somewhere with (dead?!) Yin in his arms. We are clearly showed that Hei got his powers back. Then we all of a sudden witness a body of Yin (No doubt it's her with the cut hair from research lab) absorbing souls and waking up. This just made me go all WTF?! Is the real Yin alive or not? If she is, then I believe no doubt Hei will find her and Yin would try to too. We just witnessed in 3rd season just how much Yin cares of Hei and so does Hei care for Yin.




well...actually i thought that that was just some new character at the end who looked like yin...maybe a relative but idk...anythings possible...

I can be your new favorite waste of time and you'll be mine

I'm not sure how often they're supposed to be released but so far about every two months. The second one is out and subbed now.

Well of course, more Yin automatically equals more win : D

Strong start with a good balance between action and more intimate moments between Hei and Yin. Those scenes were beautiful. :)

Hi,

Alright i know this question have been asked for a long time now, and i have researched on the internet, and i found out that in some interview (rly dont remember the site now) the auther/director say that he thnks that this is the end of DTB, yet some ppl think there is a chance that they will announce one? so anybody have a clear picture wat is going on?

thnx

WTF happened to the fight with the two contractors in the hotel? It cuts off rather abruptly. That was stupid, they should have shown us this fight.
-1 point for that alone.

Watching this right after first season... maybe second season first though because I feel really weird. SO many developments between Hei and Yin, and I never knew that happened first season. Always thought it would be Kirihara and Hei... I'm gonna watch the second season first then

So this is set before 1st and 2nd season right and in S2 they're talking about Yin is Hei's woman in the past so that means before s1 Hei and Yin is already in a relationship
I'm confused why didn't they act like lovers in s1, they didn't even put a single hint that they're lovers in S1.

Yin so adorable anyway.

Interesting, Yin seemed to be jealous of the fake amber because Hei payed a lot of attention to her. Also, I wonder what's up with her observer spirit.

Liked the episode, but the whole relationship between Yin and Hei is something that wasn't even hinted at in season one. Why does Hei suddenly care so much about her? Anyway, it sure will explain what happens in season 2.

Actually if you remember in season 1 Amber tells Yin that they are the same and for Yin to take care of Hei. Yin does make a lot of progress near the end of season 1. She is the one who saves him at the end.

yeah and if you remember she called out to him at the end and said "dont leave me alone" which says she has some emotions for him

Wow, this was indeed a great episode. It was more emotional than any of the eps in Season 1, Yin was like totally ripping my heart while I was watching it. Even while I was just looking at her.
In fact almost nothing happened at all, but still I think the episode was one of the best out of DTB.

Great Gaiden, I just can't wait to see the whole of it.

I loved the action intro to the first OVA, that was nice. And omg Yin x Hei!!! Fangirling so hard right now XD But yeah, I agree it was really slow paced, not that I mind at all. There were a lot scenes where we just see Hei and Yin walking on the beach. Yin sure is evolving fast o_o I didn't even know dolls could evolve, but I guess she's really special that the syndicate wants her back. Also, although I think it was meant to be serious, I laughed when Hei was checking every single place in the hotel room for possible bugs.

I don't quite understand yet the new guy power, but it seem really interresting. Look like he got more than one power. Also Yin seem to evolve and gain more and more consciousness.
