| That was a really sad episode! Only one more to go! I really hope a 3rd season gets announced! |
ivan24 said: You know what ? I'm getting tired of how EVERYONE keeps saying how bad the second season was. Action-wise the fights were more interesting and longer than in season 1 and I think Suou and Shion were interesting characters. Everybody's just mad because it was so short , didn't undersrand the ending and because Yin wasn't in it. I personally disliked the 2nd season for a few reason. First it had a totally new and... happy feel to it. (watch the OP for s1 then s2) Suou was the main character with the main vice being she was a schoolgirl full of life transforming slowly... painfully slowly into a contractor. In s1 Hei was the main character and he was struggling with his emerging humanity, as a pseudo-contractor. Conflicts were resolved in s2 by skirting around the issues, adding no real meat to the tale. Conflicts in s1 were resolved by direct confrontation usually, with blood being spilled every episode. (Suou never killed anyone) Hei lost his powers early in s2 making every confrontation with a contractor like david and goliath. To go full into the main beef I have with the second season it is that it was a show aimed at a younger audience while I enjoyed the darker, more psychological side of the first season. Call me twisted but these guys were the weapons of the syndicate and acted like it. |
| so even a child born of contractors can be normal, interesting; it brings up on exactly how a person is picked to be a contractor. anyways yin is taken away and now hei has to go get her |

Oosran said: SpudUK said: Well, yeah, of course, it's MY opinion. Then again, I didn't say otherwise.Oosran said: That's YOUR opinion. I liked Suou's character as it was adding a different element to Hei's survival, making it that little bit tougher to stay alive AND getting back on track.So what they did, was that they cut out all the stuff that didn't belong to the main storyline, added some stupid Suou, and thus came season two. And atleast (for the high majority) they actually stuck to the main storyline of the series. People on this forum tend not to mark sequels on their own merits but instead comparing to the first, which is not always the best policy, and the first series had a higher filler ratio than the 2nd series did. My main point however, was that the second season, while it didn't consist of filler-ish material to about 50% like the first season did, it was also about 50% the length of the first season. And that (in MY opinion) kind of makes up for the first season having fillers. Besides, them fillers were for the most part good anyway~ Except for this whole 12-episode Suou-filler 8D .. I really shouldn't feed the fire like this.. The only filler episodes that I remember is the kenji of the Nakazawa family and that doll when they ran away from the mob. I am not sure what you consider filler episodes, but I think you might be bunching up the episodes dedicated to character development as filler episodes which they are not. As a series of its own, the second season was quite good. I rather like suou unlike most people here but as a sequel it sucked. It was basically like watching a totally different anime. The ending was also totally stupid. This episode is so depressing ;_;. Yin is kawaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiii as usual. |

Nemesis2005 said: Well for my part, I don't even remember what from the first season that would be considered fillers and what wouldn't. I caught on to what precious comments had stated as fillers, and just used the same expression to simplify.I am not sure what you consider filler episodes, but I think you might be bunching up the episodes dedicated to character development as filler episodes which they are not. So in the previous stuff, yeah, character development was probably bunched together with fillers. And personally, I didn't mind any fillers in the first season. (Heck I was an anime noob back then, I didn't even know what could be considered fillers and what couldn't~) As for the latter statement; Yin is kawaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiii as usual. Yes. |

| Interesting episode, finding out more about Yin's evolution. Shes also cute in those clothes ^^ That rose pedal guy is crazy =/ |
 |
| I hope they will explain everything at the last episode. |

| I love these OVA's. I started watching this episode and couldn't stop. I just get completely engrossed in the story. I can't wait for the final one, it's only a month-ish away. :) |

SolDeMav said: Yup. I too watched it with some fucked up subs that google would have translated better. I didn't get half the things they were saying. :/the subs for this were terrible. i barely got the concept of the ova. watermelange said: Well, that's unavoidable. Since we know how season two starts, we know how the OVAs will end and it's not a happy ending...And as I figured, the OVAs are getting worse. The closer it gets to S2, the more unbearable it gets. |
Darktrickster said: I think that's actually the whole point. It isn't clear, which either leaves it up to imagination to decide what happened, or they could be preparing for another season, which, in my opinion, would be awesome.shourialize said: Speaking of the ending, did hei actually kill yin? it wasnt clear.If there is I wouldn't really look forward to it with the way things ended and all. |

Darkmaya said: And at 1:00 of the clip, Hey broke the wall with a new power? Electricity can't break walls? I'd like to answer this one. BK-201 has the ability to manipulate objects at a quantum level, that is, to that of the electron (I think) hence the general electricity-ability..but really isn't. As for the ending of S2, the Gaiden 4 might tell us that. Whether Hei killed Yin there or not (probably tried but failed, or w/e) could explain why he was smiling at the end of S2 (out of relief or w/e, again). |

Darktrickster said: Just a quick question.. How does the way he carries her signify whether she's dead or not? She might be unconscious, sleeping, or whatever reallyI think shes dead, sadly, since the way he carries her at the end shows it. ┐('～`；)┌ |

Darktrickster said: guys have a look at this: http://yunakiti.blog79.fc2.com/blog-entry-5714.html got it from hongfire forums from blackrodus. well there might be a chance for season 3 after all Nice find. I know I'd love a third season. |
| Yeah, I can't make out what it says in the article. Google isn't that helpful, but here's the gist of the text in the photo: オリジナル 作品ゆえの 可能性 Original Because of the work Possible It does show Misaki in the trench coat she wears in the last episode of the 2nd season (it even has the floating car she drives away in with the others), and Hei is carrying Yin away in his tattered coat, so... *shrugs* Your guess is as good as mine :P |
Yins multiple personalities confused me at first but now I know what is going on that other contractor was waiting the entire time to snatch up yin and then brought about allot of confusion to those contractors. I guess it wasnt bad I really want see how this ova ends |
| Awww, this is a sad episode. :( |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Re-watching all this Darker than Black still gives me that stupid fuzzy feeling in my stomach. Fuck this is sad. |

| Yin overpowered her specter... interesting |
| Wow... less action in this ep, but this was incredibly depressing... Can't wait for the last one. |
 |
| I like Yin's outfit lol |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| damn i feel sorry for the baby. one way or another, he's gonna end up hating either humans (if somehow he gets powers later or) or contractors (when/if he finds out they did it) on to the final OVA and than second season. |
     |
| Very sad atmosphere to the whole thing. I like it. And Yin seems to be drifting further away. |

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. |
| "When a flat-chested loli hugs you, she holds you closer to her heart" "--I am a single bullet. It has no heart. Therefore, it does not think. It just flies straight towards its target."  |
| 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. |
| Shiit son, shit just got serious. tingy said: All these depressing scenes D: Darker than Black. It all makes sense now. |
