| Episode 18 is out subbed! .mkv file thought. I"m downloading it now ^^ |
 |
| well, just like Yin said, dark is changing... |
 |
| Could it possibly be that Hei is making....dare I say it...*gasp* friends? Haha, anyway, the episode was pretty good. I wonder what Kirihara think's about Hei. |
| Where are you guys getting these episodes? I just wait until they are up on isohunt but 18 isint yet. |

| I liked this ep, I don't call it a filler. IMO this was very meaningful. We have learned a lot about dolls (regarding the ending). |
 |
| So basically dolls are people (dare I say with souls?) that are being used by... other people. I guess this is setting up something significant with Yin -- now that we know she is *real* than we've gotta love her, right? If they are acting on their own will, can they still be controlled? I wonder if Kirihara is catching on... |
 |
| Hei x Kirihara FOR THE WIN! Ahaha, this ep rocked, just 'cause we got to see Kirihara get jealous when Hei was buying girl's clothes. Woooot. :) |
| next episode looks like we get to know more about Huang |
 |
| I really like what they did with these two episodes. Hei is slowly beginning to show more empathy and it reacts with his missions. promises some big problems in the future.. and i love how his teammates are sticking by him anyway. |
  |
| Woooah... Pervert gangster bro!!! xD That was a pretty good episode... and at the end.. ZOMG!!! Was he actually gonna talk to his neighbors and be social??? =O..... Go Hei!!! Has anyone else noticed that his voice goes down liek 3 octives when he's Hei and it goes back up and sounds all happy again when he's Li?? He would make a pretty kickass actor >.< |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Everytime I see another episode I'm astounded by Hei's acting skills! He's really good at seeming nice and not phsyically dangerous when he's Li but as soon as he dawns the mask or is around people who wont care if they see his true said (cause they'll die) he kiks major ass! Go Hei! |
 |
| looks like we would maybe see Kirihara x Hei after all after what we saw in this episode.^^ |

  The best shape for an angel! ;) |
| Lol, Kirihara actually asked if the clothes were for him!!!! XD Nice episode for show casing character development, and the Doll girl smiling at Kenji on the train was a lovely moment. But obviously the best part was Hei kicking butt :P |
 |
| I was hoping to see Hei cross-dressing, what a disappointing episode. 1/5 for me. |

 |
| In my opinion: I am getting tired of waiting for something to happen...for some plot line to break though from the mundane of Hei acting skills and the polices useless work. It is quite hard to come back to a plot that is only situated on two episodes with very little carry over into the next set. There was a moving plot with Amber and with Havok, but again there is nothing. Honestly, though, Hei has acted his way out of all of them already, I am less surprised with his skill and would more and more like something different to happen. Also I don't think that he has superior acting skills or anything, he just has the ability to fade into the background... |

| I was hoping that he'd kill him at the end, and steal the doll. I guess that he's becoming compassionate. |

 |
| " a stun gun?" C'mon, Hei don't need no stun gun, he is a freaking stun gun *.*! well i've pretty much read all the posts here and i'm still sticking to my opinion: Hei is AMAZING!! so what if he's becoming compassionate? i actually believe that the hidden objective of the storyline is to prove that contractors aren't monsters but more similar to humans than they think. so what if he's putting a great act as Li-kun? is that supposed to be a bad thing? if he wasn't a skillful and interesting main character, who would watch the anime?? i know i wouldn't o_o. |

That's the whole point of the story for me o.o Not his awesome kickass skills. Seeing Hei develop more and more with every episode is amazing. When he knocked on the neighbours' door...it was so meaningful. Besides, I'm sure we'll see Amber again, she's linked to Hei's sister somehow and Hei's main objective is to find his sister. I doubt they'd leave it like that... |

| I really liked these past 2 episodes. I'm really glad that doll was able to escape successfully without Hei having to stop them. |

 |

 |

| Personally, I believe in Hei/Mao |
Saphirot said: If you ask me Hei x Yin is way better than Hei x Kirihara, especially now that Yin's got feelings and all. Plus, she kicks ass and is super kawaii ~ Totally Agree XD |

| This episode was really cool ! I love to know that Yin is feeling more human and more alive,a choosing on her own.Shows how much Hei cares for Yin too. Hei X Yin fan here XD It was also perverted that gangster then,tht guy um the guy who protects the brand new doll was sweet !!The funny scenes on this episode were halarious. I cried laughing when Hei went shopping and Misaki got jelous. I'm comvinced Yin is human she just has no emotion or doesn't know how to express it,she has a soul and she loves Hei. you can tell XD |
 |
| I think that dolls are actually have emotion and feelings, but they can't express it, or they have no idea what the emotion itself. But I'm sure thay have. :D We can see that the one who shows emotoin is not only Yin, the brand new doll is smiling right? It shows that she is happy with that Kenji. XD Note : Sorry for my bad english, I'm not really good at english -_-; |

| The ending was pretty heartwarming imo, but I hope he doesn't warm up too much, I do not want him to lose his serious badassery, not that he will but still haha. I am surprised how the mains' personalities changed so much since the beginning, which I also like, and almost everything else the others said in this thread. |

| This was a heart-warming episode. I don't believe that the Yakuza leader didn't notice that there weren't any bullets left but he obviously had to act acoording to his reputation. He was probably reminded of his own former relationship with a girl which is the reason why he let them go. |
 |
| Good episode, favorite arc so far. |
 |
| For some reason this episode Hei looks much like the main character from Texhnolyze to me. Haha, Hei’s room is numberem “201”. How ironic. Hah, this episode’s name is very appropriate for some reason. I sooooooooooooo love Hei’s expression today! A dole smiled? Huh, where is this anime going to? Ok, Hei totally surprised me by not betraying the boy, but I guess he doesn't feel like helping the syndicate when they're eyes are not on him anyway. I like his choice after all. But out of this arc I liked the most the fact that Aniki asked Hei if he has something important to protect. Really, at this point it was long since I was wondering what reason is driving Hei forward. I hope we'll get to know soon enough. |
  |
| Hei x Kirihara...really? I don't know if I like where this is going. |
