ReaperEXE said: This OVA so far has been nothing short of amazing. This. I've stopped watching anime for several months, and now when started again, I decided to finish this Gaiden. I rewinded the first two episodes just to remember what was this OVA all about, and for my surprise I happened to find out about the scenes which comes after the credits, and whow - I've missed so much without them, to the extent that I didn't get a clear picture of the events in the Gaiden. So I recommend to anyone who haven't watched the scenes after credits in ep 1&2 to do it if he hasn't finished the OVA yet. Like all this time I haven't got idea of who was that Amber in ep one or the guy with the dog in ep 2(despite he appeared for a moment in ep 1). There wasn't such a scene in ep 3 tho. Anyway, now about the episode itself. This OVA really doesn't stop amusing me to the extent that I see it as better than Season 1 itself(idk about S2, I have yet to watch it). I didn't expect for all the contractors on that place to die... well except for the poor Amagiri, who seems to be alive and dazed, suffering from guilt(it's still good that he's alive, because I it would be so lame if he dies the episode he got revived). I actually think it's good that the illusion contractor is alive, he makes somewhat of a good bad guy(lol) and he will last longer than most oh the bad guys in this show. I know DTB is(or at it least was in S1) show with separate from each other stories told in 2 episodes, but still I hate when there's not much of a stable connection between the episodes in one show, except for the main character. In other words, it's way more interesting to follow not just the story of the main character, but the the stories of secondary ones and/or bad guy(s) either |

| A lot of death for a single episode. Hope Hei find Yin before it's to late. |
 |
| Damn stuff really getting sad and depressing but the development of the story sure is heading in the right way! The ending was rather sad I wonder what Hei will do next! Up to the last episode of this in between serie! |
 |
| shit what a amazing episode great development and the story is getting better and better + of course it fills allot of holes on season 2 up to the next episode. |

| All these depressing scenes D: Definitely didn't expect everyone to be killed, that blondie is fucking ruthless. Then again, I guess that's obvious because contractors are normally self interested. But still...it's even more sad because of the baby that was left alive, and we saw how fascinated (in a way) that Yin was with the baby, and how Hei smiled watching her interact with the baby. And it also hurt when Hei told Yin that maybe they should separate, and then Yin cried. I wonder though why Hei couldn't respond to Amagiri, when he was asked what was Yin to him. I guess it's a difficult question for him to answer. |

| There's no way Hei would kill Yin.. right?? |
 |
| Well that was depressing as all hell |
 |
| Very dark episode. I hope Yin is okay :( |

| Second time watching Darker Than Black after some time. This OVA has everything, beautiful Yin x Hei moments badass moments and pure sadness |
and Hei has to undergo it | just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| YIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! |
| Watching this was very moving for me. Darker Than Black is such an epic series. The finale is going to be brilliant! Also we're always told contractors are ruthless and that they are psychopaths. If it was Claude who killed all those contractors then he must have some shred of humanity left because he had mercy on the baby. Interesting. |

| I hope Hei saves Yin and kill that blonde prick once and for all. |
 |
| Damn this illusion guy is a jackass. |
 |
So that asshole contractor made everything worse. Result, almost everyone is dead. Why did he do that? Who's he really working for? Damn, I know it's Darker than Black and everyone is susceptible to die but... come on! There's so much sadness and sorrow one can take. |
| Since the arc goes for 4 episodes compared to how the season went with mainly the 2 episodes per arc structure, the pacing feels a lot better and the story and ideas have more room to breathe and feel better executed. I found the tone of the episode to be pretty grim with no comedy in sight really, especially given Yin's attitude in particular this episode when she's struggling to communicate her thoughts with Hei and even cried a little when Hei offered to split up from her in order for her to feel safe and not have the voices in her head drag her down essentially like its been recently. Damn you Xi-Qi lol. Intrigued for what the final episode of these OVAs have to offer before I start Gemini after. |
| Heh that mouse-teeth-guy follows them..... Well the future of the contractors is not going smoothly........ |
| Can that guy please stop imitating Amber? It feels weirdly uncomfortable, probably because she's already dead and I like her too much to see her like this. But still, this is still better than the 2nd season, but the reason they didn't just make this the 2nd season was probably because it would be too short. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| Hey guys, here's a better idea, let's NOT kill Yin off! I know I'm a genius. |
| The second half of this episode was quite dark, but nothing out of the ordinary. Yin getting caught up in all these organisational power plays is a sad sight. Dolls in general seem to be constantly subject to people manipulating and taking advantage of them, even when they begin to show more emotion. |

| A lot of things happened in this episode. I like that in these OVAs, Yin wears different clothes, which makes her character more authentic than the dress she always wore in Season 1 (although I liked the dress too). In my opinion, they could have utilized the remnants of the EPR more. There was a good premise, especially with the two contractors who had a baby. The first half of the episode is perfect. However, I didn't like the way the second part of the episode and the subsequent events unfolded. Unfortunately, it happened that way. Anyway, the OST of Darker than Black, as always, doesn't disappoint. The music contributes very well to the emotion. |
