| If 2010 will be anything like 2009, then this may turn out to be the best of 2010. Lovin' it...I'm getting some Tetsuwan Birdy Decode vibes from this for some reason. |

| I'm liking Yin better now. |
 |
| Yin and the cheongsam dress-thingy was fantastic.. anyways. I'm pissed off this didn't come inbetween S1 and S2. I think it would have been better for the viewers and made them more money. It's painful watching the OVA (not to mention the wait) after you've already seen the much rushed and too short and confusing season 2. If BONES doesn't make this up with a decent Season 3 I will do something terrible.. like.. crying manly emo tears for a few weeks. |
------------------ |
| GOOD one. This > Gemini. I just need an explanation for why is Yin evolving/awakening in the first place. Or maybe it was already explained and I'm just too stupid to have noticed. |

| Damn I love this special. The only bad thing about this episode was bringing in characters from Season 2 like Yōko Sawasak and Mina Hazuki. Made me realize again how much I hated season 2 and how it fails hard in comparison to these specials. I do hope the creator(s) of Darker than Black realize that this is how season 2 should have played out as well as being as long as season 1, which in turn may lead to another season of 26 episodes with the same vibe as this special. I was also surprised to see Amagiri at the end. Dude owns. |
| Such a good episode. I just wish the 2nd season would have been more like these specials. Now comes the ordeal of waiting for the 3rd one =/ |
| Nice fancervice episode. I'm curious why Hei haven't used his power despite many good opportunities. He used to be cold blooded killer, now he can't even protect himself. |
| I'll definitely be watching Gemini again after this. |

| OVA > tv series. fucking awesome remuneration :D want more stripping :D |
| This OVA is being really AWESOME. I'm loving the interaction between Hei and Yin, and all the side characters look very interesting (specially the blond guy with the purple fringe), I can't wait for more!! |

| Kick ass. |
 |
| She said she's holding back her powers. If she did stripped fully then Hei might have died...which would you choose? XD |
 |
| awesome episode! stripper woman is officially one of the best characters to appear in the show! xP Weird seeing yin act differently like that though.. i was on the edge of my seat the whole time.. amazing ^^ |

| FINALLY! After years of waiting, we get a new episode of DTB!!(Yes, the second season never existed) And finally, we learn some stuff about Yin. it seems like some being was lurking around Hell's Gate when Hei left Yin alone and went on his "Dream adventure" with Amber. this being could possibly be Izanami. "VitaX" said: I was also surprised to see Amagiri at the end. Dude owns. Indeed, we all thought he died from Mai's flames. Anyways, after talking with a few of my acquaintances, we came up with a theory. the theory being, this two below are one in the same! I mean think about it. One of them could use illusion and other Magic. i know it's very unlikely but still, they seem very alike. |
     |
| Awesome episode! They really should have made season 2 based on this. The stripper lady was weird... so much fanservice. But other than that, I love this OVA mini-series! |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Fan service was lame! The remuneration of that girl was lame too....I am mean getting naked? Rofl sounds more stupid than ideal. Best was of course Hei and his fight against that girl although she quickly got him Yin rescued him......Those 2 brothers were nasty.....using telekinesis as power and both had the same one. Qin was a nice addition. Scary parts were scary like the begining with that gold ghost what the heck was it? Not to mention when Izanami was acting by itself on Hei....although it looked so sexy.....The dog actually talks? I mean I saw it do that before but it looks to have its own conscious. I am assuming the power of that prostitute is something to do with gravity being forced on you to pin you down or what is exactly? So blond person is working with Madame Oreille but I am assuming she is just using him for information of battle feedback.....=>  Overall it was a amazing episode to see Yin evolve but sounds like in the second season it is a double personality!KingDeadKira said: There is no way that both could have the same powers....I mean ones remuneration is to tell magic tricks while this one is to eat flower pedals so I don't think so. What I do think so is that they might be twin brothers. Anyways, after talking with a few of my acquaintances, we came up with a theory. the theory being, this two below are one in the same! I mean think about it. One of them could use illusion and other Magic. i know it's very unlikely but still, they seem very alike. Amagiri is that doctor at the end? Yeah I forgot......Mai's flames he got burned....I do remember that part but not exactly what in it..... I think Youko was so arrogant and a little slutty at the end......I find her personality a little better like that but in 2nd season she changes...at least Hazuki takes a immediate liking to Youko |

| Damn, taiwanian was almost a copy of black lagoon's shenhua. But more perfect ;) Ahh, it was really refreshing. Whole episode, up to one point. Obviously, I have on mind last scenes. Seein' characters from never-made s2 left me pullin' a face. Also, seriously? They're expecting us to believe Yin became Izanami from one dream? Just like that? I foolishly hope it's gonna be deeper than that, and proly I'll be disappointed once again. |
 |
| I expected something better. The animation was average and despite the great remuneration, the episode felt uninspired overall. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| Well that pretty much explains the 2 Yins at the end of Gemini. The quality of the animation is pretty good, far better than season 2. So Yin/Izanami power is the ability to use other contractors powers, that's pretty cool and it explains allot. The stripper lady reminded me of General Adiane from TTGL |
| lol oh the fanservice. Least know we about about why there were 2 Yins at Gemini. Seeing Yin with some actual facial expressions is delightfully awesome~ |

| Wow, these gaiden is turning out to be wicked cool. I loved seeing Hei being Chinese referred to, I'm glad Bones didn't forget about that. The fights were great, especially Hei versus the sword lady. Also, I'm still digging Claude's character design. I want that fringe of his. |

| This episode gives so much background information for both season :) Anyways, great episode! WHY DOES THIS OVA HAVE TO BE SO SHORT? |
    |
| wicked awesome episode :D I love every single minute, and the fights were incredible I'm loving the ovas so much :) got me thinking about what happened to yin after the 2nd season's ending... and I was very surprised seeing Amagiri, I thought for sure he died back in the first season... :O *sigh* and the waiting starts again.. :'( oh, and yin can heal :O! gotta love her<3 |
 |
| I am really confused. But a good episode none the less. |
     |
| I am definitely loving Yin's attitude adjustment! How they will wrap this up in just 2 more episodes of this OVA is beyond me. |
Also, seriously? They're expecting us to believe Yin became Izanami from one dream? Just like that? I foolishly hope it's gonna be deeper than that, and proly I'll be disappointed once again. Yin acted strange in ep1 as well. Obviously Izanami srenghtens as the time goes and the dream is just a side effect. I am definitely loving Yin's attitude adjustment! How they will wrap this up in just 2 more episodes of this OVA is beyond me. Two episodes are enough to wrap everything up. In EP1 Yin started acting strange, in this ep Izanami started appearing herself and you don't need to have more then two more episodes to make Izanami awaken completely. Since the OVA's exist to show what happened to Yin, you don't really need to have more then five episodes. |

And1ce said: Hate wating for episode 3 Q__Q There is always the option of re-watching :) |
|
| Contractor of the week: Stripper-chan!! (Seriously, did we even get her name?) Now it should be clear that Izanami itself is residing inside Yin, and not just another personality. I still don't know the connection between Izanami and Yin though. I mean, why Yin? Did she come in contact with something in her past and made her become some sort of 'host' for Izanami? And if not, why did Izanami choose Yin? It was a great episode overall, still prefer the previous one (adult Amber is hot no matter how you look at it). Yin being talkative and dominant is awesome (Well, technically it's Izanami, but still...). I could have used some music from S2, though. EDIT: And after rewatching the episode, it seems that Izanami possessed Yin at the end of S1. What was Izanami doing there, though? |
