| Don't know what happened tbh, but Hei, Suou, and Yin were there. o_o |
 |
OMGage said: What is the song that is playing at the end. When Suou is getting ready for school and stuff. I have searched everywhere and I can't find it haha It's called Kanashiki Yume no Maki. It was on the Suou CD that came with the BD vol 3. |
 |
| maybe the magician was there because of july. on how the gates grants wishes, maybe july wants to see him for one last time, becasue he was always around the magician in the first season.... who knows.. |
 |
| This was.... weird xD I wanted to give it 9 just bcs of Hei, but I just can't >.< The story was strange, everything was made quickly, and it would be waaay better if they made 24 episode season.. like this i don't like the ending-.- i just agree to almost everything LeaT said... |
| "If it's your wish, I will follow you everywhere, Even if your throne crumbles, And your shiny crown turns to rust, Even if the bodies pile up endlessly, Above the bottomless pile corpses, Beside you as you lie softly down, I will be.....Until i hear the words "check Mate." ♥ |
 Hei X Yin Ending! That's reason why 9/10. S2>S1 or S2<S1? I dunno, seriously. I prefer Gaiden. |
 |
| Well... this was... confusing to say the very least. They could have used this "2nd Season" to unravel the mysteries of the gates, but instead they made more crappy government conspiracy stuff that didn't even make sense. They didn't explain anything if you think about it. Still, it was entertaining enough. Bones didn't fail as much as KyoAni when they made the infamous "Haruhi's Endless Eight", that is for sure. Anyway, 8/10 for me. |

I prefer Gaiden as well, im glad i could watch it before watching this one but the entire Suou arc should just never have happened. there were so many loose ends after gaiden with hei and yin alone. they could have done so much with it.

| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| ZOMG WTF LOL Wasn't he dead? Wait what? Oh lawl. Omg? WTF! BBQ! Loli. THE END 8/10 |
| I haven't watched all of the episodes yet, but all these posts prompted me to actually skip to the end of episode 12. I ended up watching the 4 ovas before this second season so in my opinion, Hei did not really kill Yin(the ovas stressed that he wanted to save her when she was captured at the end), so killing her would make his actions seem pretty contradictory from what was fleshed out in the ova. The body Hei was carrying could most likely be unconscious, not dead. But since the ending was so vague, it could either way. If there is no season 3, I guess its up to the viewer to decide what really happens to Yin, Hei might have actually killed her, or he might have saved her instead. More thoughts will be posted when I finish it for real. |

| Ok I just finished marathoning the last few episodes and in all its not that bad and not that good either. I understood the ending clearly but it seemed really stupid that Suou undergoes so much and getting pissed off about being fabricated just to end up in a fabricated world, too Deus Ex Machina for me. Also after watching the whole thing, I really don't think Hei really "killed" Yin. He most likely killed the Izanami half of Yin, but kept the real Yin alive in the process. Not a bad sequel, it was just too rushed. 7/10 Since Gemini doesn't explain the origin of Hell's Gate and all, I don't think it's a necessary sequel(since season 1 wraps up decently), sticking to only season 1 is good enough. Gemini feels like Gundam Seed Destiny, unnecessary, only its actually better and not a crap rehash. *Note, from reading the translated director interview on post 342, the director seems to state that he thinks Yin is technically dead, but he left it open for us viewers to decide ourselves. |

| Hmm..I just marathoned all of season one, the four OVAs and the second season but im confused. Yay for mindfuck endings! So, Shion created an alternate world where he sent Suou and July. Yin turned into a guy and began killing people, annnnnnd Hie poof'd and was never seen again. Yay! @__@;; |

| It's all about the boss guy who appears for no reason, COMPLETELY RIPPED, HOLDING A FUCK-OFF MACHINE GUN wat |
AJAJAJAJAJA |
| So I just finished this...sat there for a moment wondering what the fuck just happened. Then proceeded to rage and laugh uncontrollably for 10 minutes straight. I think I'm fine now. But srsly, WHAT THE FUCK. |
 |
| This is one of those endings that makes me unable to sleep at night. I kept thinking, "WHAT DID I JUST WATCH" and contemplated to sleep. Okay, I got the Suou being in another alternate world part.. Now, what did Hei do to Yin? Did he kill her? Did he make a wish? Where is Hei? What was with the shorter-haired Yin variant in that black coffin thing? Is that person the result of the prophecy? Where did Hazuki go after killing Shizune(spelling)? How did Madam Oreille get her hands on that ray gun thing? Yup.. :I |
| Very strong throughout Eclipsia said: What I think is: Shion made the alternate world for Suou to live in peacefully without all the contractors and cruel things in the world they live in now. So they collected all the memories they could get from ppl with the "squeezer" and with the million dolls they observed entire planet in the details 2 copy all of this on the planet Shion made for Suou so it would be like the normal world just without the gates and contractors n stuff. But it kinda looks like this ending left hints of another season coming. Like ppl said b4 they showed this boy version of Yin at the end in the coffin and the twins mentioned a new gate opened. But it kinda seems impossible for Hei 2 be one of the main characters then since he dissapeared with Yin =[ Totally mindfucked until this. Slightly generic ending, but I guess it's ok in this case. (lol for flying cars in the end) IMO, there doesn't need to be another season. The story ended in an openly fashion with a nice happy ending. If only real life was like that. But judging by all the factors, like boyish Yin, another Hell's gate, etc. a third season is possible. |
 |
| Seriously, what? I'm not a fan. At least there are hints of a continuation. Also, Hei was awesome again, and got his power back, me like. |
| I hope there's a third season. Feels like an open ending. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I held off watching DtB 2 because I heard so many negative reviews on it. I ended it watching it over the weekend, and I'm glad I did. I prefer it over season one. Maybe because I'm just really not a Yin fan. The hobo Hei wasn't really exciting to watch for most of the series, but overal it was good.... if you just ignore the last ep. It just seemed... off. Like, "and it was all a dream" ending. I want my Kirihara x Li smex scene. Poor Kirihara finally gets to meet Hei once and he tries to kill her then he GTFO's... xP and I'm still not use to Mao being that... squirrel :P |
| Still as wtf as ever, after many rewatches. Geez. |

Well... Im glad im not the only one confused by this ending! |
|
| Terrible season. I watched the whole thing waiting for something good, but this is just terrible. It added nothing to the overall plot. |
Wolfxzer0 said: Terrible season. I watched the whole thing waiting for something good, but this is just terrible. It added nothing to the overall plot. you are totally right. also damn I hated that they used that magical girl gun sequence all the time. also will darker than black ever stop using end of evangelion?????? |
| 馬鹿げた倫理 全部ガラクタで |
| I guess I understand that Suou is living with July on a copied world (I saw her running with the toast in her mouth and all I could think after that was is this Eva?!), and that the world is saved again apparently but what happened to Hei did he die too and Kirahara was was saying she wants to believe he's alive? Did he kill Yin or leave with her or what! I love this series but there is just so much sadness at the end of these, what is going on!!!! All I could think was will they write a good ending, I hear they are making a season 3 I guess if they do make another season I will watch it because I love this show, but it seems they just rip all the happiness away at the end, it's kind of depressing, but maybe that's good to not have a good end all the time. But still seeing the characters I come to know suffer so much and then end up with virtual nothing hurts my soul. Great series nonetheless. |
| I'l just let my imagination run wild with this season. Too much was added and not enough time to rationalize things throughly to understand the depth of it all. The last three episodes really had me thinking but the previous one's before weren't so brain working... |
| As far as I'm concerned, this season doesn't exist. |
synaesthesia said: That would be quite rude since this series had it's moments too.As far as I'm concerned, this season doesn't exist. By the way, would someone like to enlighten me of what actually happened. What happened to Izanami and Izanagi? What happened to Suou and Hei, What's up with that "Going school" moment? What was that fake earthly thing in the sky and why did it vanish? Eh, I'm still confused. |

What was that fake earthly thing in the sky and why did it vanish? Eh, I'm still confused. i just finished myself and ran here to check out what the fuck i just watched anyways what i think is pretty much what everyone else thinks shion copied a world for suou and them explaning the going to school moment because july smiled and in the real world contracters couldnt smile now about the izanagi and izanami thing izanami is yin and izanagi is hei, and what came out when they joined was the wierd boy looking yin that sucked everyones souls what i cant explain is that in the end they show hei walking off in the distance with yin in his arms, so did he just kill her and went on his merry way? so many cliff hangers enough to make me rip my hair out, but besides that this was a great anime |
| So. Many. Questions. I mean, a lot of the major parts of the first season seemed vaguely explained to start with, and now this... Just WTF. All the way through the second season. Maybe I was just watching it too fast, but this season made no freaking sense to me whatsoever. To sum up my feelings for this second season, I'll repeat what other people have said before me - this season, in my opinion, does not exist. Didn't like the characters (Why would they do that to Hei???), especially hated Suou because she was just... -there-, the plot only made preexisting questions worse, and to be honest, the entire thing felt like a filler arc. I'm still hoping for a third season... but only if they ignore everything they presented in this season. Oh, and one thing I'd like to ask that hasn't seemed to have been addressed yet: What exactly does Yin take away when she kills people? Their souls? In that case, how did Suou and July get sent to the other world that Shion created? Also, randomly: is the 'world' that Shion created real (as in physical, existing besides normal earth), or just a sort of mental projection? |

| Bastards! they almost ruined this for me, even though I knew Yin and Hei would end up together, I grew quite fond of Suou, damn, wish it had a happy ending, almost every goddamn anime ends like shit! |
 |
| WTF :S I am confused as to what the ending is telling us rofl, I think it finished far too quickly and they could have taken more time on it |
 |
| WTF ! The ending ruined all my hopes! Give me back my badass Heirgat fights everyone... I mean...Did I...Am I just....Is it...arghhh...It fried my mind the ending...This season was good...but not as good as S1...I liked the Suou x Hei moments....I actually wanted an Suou x Hei ending since I started to actually think Hei would make a nice match for a loli like Suou...anyway...overall...the ending was clifhanger...left me with many questions...like...What hapened with Hei?What about Yin? Did Hei really kill Yin? or they are just shown an ilusion in that gate...and many other questions...sighhh... I was planning to rate this with 10 but the ending totally ruined it for me... it get 8/10 . And I definetley expect a 3'rd season NAO! |

LordTlaloc said: you all do know that a 3rd season has been confirmed right? http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2010-07-02/funi-adds-live-action-moyashimon Where in that article does it confirm a 3rd season of Darker Than Black? |
| So i watched this again after about a year and a half from first watching it and boy, it's actually WORSE the second time around. Absolutely terrible show. The only good part is the awesome soundtrack. Everything else about it is shit and it's an absolute disgrace to the fantastic first season. WHY DOES THIS EXIST |
| Very symbolic and open-ended episode, but I really liked it. Suou's journey comes to an end and her wish comes true thanks to Shion's wish. In the end I guess Shion lost his life as the price to pay for the creation of a new world where Suou could live happily. In the real world, a lot of questions arise and everything is left open for a very possible chance of, one day, continuing the story of a fantastic series. |
