| Oreille told that an very destructive being will be born or comes to existence when Izanami and Izanagi comes together. So I think this guy is the one that was born the moment they both came together. |
| Yin transfer Suou and July to the fake World and get happy fake ending I think that kid in coffin is Hei x Yin kid because is "the new being" lol |
| All of that went to creating some fake ideal world? Is this naruto? |
| Well this ending was super rushed and pretty weird at the same time. So Suou and July are gone for good but in a alternate universe? Lol wut? What happened to Yin and Hei at the end there? What the fuck was that male Yin clone? Hopefully we'll get a season 3 because i need answers. While this season was not as good as the first one, it wasn't as bad like people stated, probably because I watched the OVAs beforehand 7/10 |

| Just a waste of time. No need for season 3. 4/10 |

| ...wait what? I mean, WHAT!!?? |
| A happy ending But they're fake Uh no I didn't approve this kind of ending :( That was weird, the ending leave everyone confused Time to read Shikkoku no Hana |
"Signature removed"   |
| Yeah this is a WTF is going on, this makes no sense at all. Flying cars, everyone dying, Suou is...somewhere? This makes no sense at all, 3/10...after I gave season 1 a 9/10. I see why everyone hates this season. |
 |
| Deym its like it never reach the ending T_T its like it never existed! |

| I just finished watching this series. I feel like I've been trolled. I thought Season 1 was pretty good, however lacked a satisfying conclusion. But this? ... I don't know what this is, but it isn't satisfying. Excuse me while I add this director's name to my blacklist. |
I am fucking crying.... a lot... I can't contain myself, damn it... T_T Why am I crying!? This was such a ride, it this very episode gave me sadness and joy and excitement and ...and... a lot! First I thought it was gonna be a sad ending, then a happy ending, then a bittersweet ending...arrgghh!!! Why doesn't this have a third season!? It has an open ending, right!? Oh god my feels... I'm still crying... I knew this was gonna happen when I started watching the second season. But really, WTH happened!? A second earth, everyone is suddenly there, Hei disappeared again, Yin is dead or not dead... there is a lot of unanswered questions. ---------------------- Ok, next day and with a cooled down head. While I loved this season I do admit it was rushed in some parts (the end was incredibly rushed) and left some serious plot holes. We don't get explanations to questions raised in the first season but neither from questions from this season like what was that Earth Ark, or how everything worked to to achieve that, what was the role of those two twin dolls, or the blonde woman with the space suit, the USA invading Japan, or everything else. Again, I loved Hei's initial character underdevelopment to later develop him into his better past self, and Suou, I liked that girl she was adorable, brave and for her age I think she behaved better than I expected. Another thing I loved was that this anime has no fanservice... I really loved that touch. Still, I do not regret the 9/10 I give this series since it touched my heart and entertained me a lot even when it was rushed and had plot holes (that can be solved with a new season, but well, it's been 5 years and still nothing...) What can I say? Suou's epilogue made me shed tears... her longing for "someone" she doesn't know who it is... her brother, Hei, her original life... It was all touching. BK201 still lives on, and hopefully Yin too. |

| DtB: The Clone Wars 7/10 Well, I guess it was too much to ask to have a plot resolution that someone other than the author and a handful of his apologists could understood (and one that wasn't rushed with the usual sci-fi deux machina fingerprints everywhere). That said I enjoyed the pace and linear plot more than I did S1. The new (and old) characters were good. The early Russian setting was a nice change. Mao becoming a flying squirrel :) Suou's PTRD-41 transformation reminded me of Revolutionary Girl Utena (Anthy producing Sword of Dios out of her chest). Final words: |

| My biggest issue was with them insisting on showing Suou's "transformation scene" every single time. I get it, she's a contractor, and she can summon a huge rifle. No need to show it over and over again, especially as no other contractor had anything even remotely similar. Of course, she's a special case, but still.. Other than that, i liked it. The ending is a huge mess, with what exactly happend, who's been playing who, who's on the old earth and who on the new etc., but that was to be expected. Overall, i liked the more linear story more than the episodic format of the first season, but both work. Wouldn't mind a third season either way. |
| Hmmm i went into this second season hearing that it was garbage because of how hei become and the ending of it, i loved everything even how hei is t'ill this ending, this shit make no damn sense, anyway aside from the ending i loved it so 8/10 |
| I watched the YinxHei prequel befor this, so I was hoping for more. The first half of the anime was very good, but I suspected the pacing would be shit in the second half and yes, it was. wait a way to ruin this franchise. Making me wait for the Hei and Yin moment for 12 damn episodes and then this is all I got. And 7 years later there is still no sequel. Im filled with hatred right now. 7/10 for this season. |

| This series still be a mysterious for everyone no one know what happened ... I'm really disappointed by the ending and who the fuck was that boy/ girl who looked like Yin didn't hei killed him and we didn't know who was the syndicate leader untill the end it was that old man who lived in the small house( つ•̀ω•́)つ |
| lets all just imagine this never existed.. and wait for a Reboot.. season 2.. .-. am sure one will be created.. in another 20years................................................................................................................... |
 |
| Watched an anime after few months, season 1 was great but this season was pretty lonesome and messed up ending. But I had a feeling that ending won't be good. Haven't seen any anime like this one with a reasonable ending. |
 |
| I enjoyed this season much more than S1 and I'm so happy with the way it ended. I wasn't expecting it to be so bittersweet but I have no complaints, it's the happiest this ending could be without feeling cheap. Hei saving Yin and July waving to Suou is enough for me. |
| Ending was far from satisfying or clear, but there are 2 major things that people talk a lot about while they seem rather obvious to me: - Hei didn't kill Yin. If he did, there wouldn't be "male Yin" scene or that huge green pillar in scene right after that. Izanami also promised to grant Yin's wish, and considering Izanagi granted Shion's, he/she did too. Not to mention scene where Hei uses his power on her - I'm not sure what he did, but if he wanted to kill her, he'd do it normally and not fry her (too much light). Possibly something to do with getting her body and soul back together with that special power of his? - Suou will be happy. It's 2nd world, not "fake". Considering even her family is there, I'm pretty sure Hei didn't lie when he told her they will be together: there has to be 2nd Hei in that world too and I don't see any reason why they wouldn't meet (destiny and all that fluffy stuff). I think it's also possible that Hei and Yin ended up in the new world too. Kirihara says that she never heard about him again + in the scene where he carries Yin there is a lot of stars in the sky. Overall I don't understand why people hate his season so much. It was weaker than 1st one but it wasn't bad overall. I think the only major problem is non-conclusive ending, considering there is no sequel. And I guess Suou's weapon summoning scenes were annoying. They should've skipped them after first time. |

| That moment when they say they will explain everything, but they never do... |
 |
| Wow, that was... just... terrible T^T Worst of all, most of this feels pointless after the first season, and even more pointless when you know that there's still no sequel or anything, that'd explain some of the things that happened. I know that exposition isn't always the best option to include in your storytelling, but in this case I'm convinced I'd have tons more fun knowing a bit more of what's going on or where the plot is headed in general. Gosh! There was barely any real action, Hei talked/showed up so rarely he might as well be in the supporting cast, the rest of the characters were often acting unbelievably stupid, for supposedly the most rational beings... At the very least I wasn't fan of the first season, so it wasn't such a huge disappointment this time, I guess? Oh, and opening was awesome again, so that's something. 5.5/10 |
  |
| Not again.. After first season's ending i've messed up about the plot, but again? What was the second world thing in the end? Is it about the second moon and memories of all humanhood? I think Hei's powers came back to him but how? Probably it's relevant with Yin's powers. And what did happen to Yin exactly? Who was that boy(?)in that coffin? Ahhhh... I love this anime (and Hei of course ^-^) but they have always make open-endings.. After some time i think i should rewatch all again.. |
| Ok that end didn't make any sense to me. Who or what was Isanagi? I mean Isanami was Yin - that was relatively clear but who was that second name. I expected it to be Shion the whole time but he just died after meeting Isanagi. Who was that blonde woman with the two dolls? Was all her stuff meant to be some technology from the future brought by Ember or what was that supposed to be? And she didn't even explain anything at the end >:( Why was Suou suddenly reborn and only her and July in that "world". I mean it was a funny reference to see the black guy and old woman from the first season in the apartment in which Hei lived but what was that? I just feel like this ending was even more unsatisfying than the one for the first season. At least I understood what was going on mostly. The only real negative was that Hei and Misaki couldn't stay together :P and, well, that was the same this time around >.> but to make it even worse there was so much that didn't make any sense. Like why was the magician alive again? Wasn't his head smashed by the golem-guy? I suppose they just wanted to show that July had changed, like Yin in the first season but that could have been done better. And who was that other guy with the scar across his eye that appeared like two or three times to give orders but didn't really do anything. The db says his name was John Smith. Did he have any relevance at all? Fuck, this ending was so unsatisfying. I feel like in the first season the bigger picture was a lot more complete than this. Like at the end everything that was going on was happening for a reason. This time it was just like Hei not following orders (again... just from a different boss I suppose) and then running around with a girl after which he just happened to save the world but not because that was his goal. And while he didn't necessarily want to save anything in the first season either there was still a reason for him to end up saving the gate. |

| In all honesty, I'm disappointed. The ending was incredulously rushed, and there were just so many unclear points which makes me feel like disregarding this season wouldn't necessarily be a bad choice. |
NyaFluffles said: I do not understand why people are getting upset over this ending. The OVA's make it very clear and fill in some plot points to make it perfectly understandable and the fact people are getting upset because there wasn't fan service upsets me considering this was a great anime because there was little to no fan service. If your confused, re-wartch the anime and ova's. The ending was great in my opinion. ppl are upset cause it ends with cliffhanger ovas only explain event between s1 and s2 not whats after s2 after this cliffhanger who is this new being what will happen next wher is hei and yin what came from them i guess u love incomplete storys that ended with cliffhanger Snappynator said: NekoOtaku1300 said: I do not understand why people are getting upset over this ending.

That's rather disappointing, fanservice VERY rarely is any good to begin with. @OT The hell was this ending? It was rather confusing and felt rushed imo. Did Hei kill Yin or did she survive? How is that Magician dude still alive? What happened with Suou? I wish this season had 24-ish episodes to make everything more clear and develop the storyline a bit more. Also would have been nice to have more Yin/Hei relationship development like in the OVAs and 1st season but oh well. A shame there won't be a 3rd season, I would really love to see even just an OVA to wrap everything up. I was hoping for Yin and Hei to end up together once again too :/ 7/10 this +1 |
| 2/10 overall. I've seen worse rewatches than this season like with Akame ga Kill, but at least that was not as boring as this. This season except the music (although don't like the sudden change from jazz to techno) and the first episode, sucked. The ending barely was able to resolve much and overall, was just an absolute mess. The scriptwriter and Bones wrote themselves into a mess they couldn't get out of. |
| They were clearly going for a season 3 but considering how confusing some things are in this show (apparently the OVA's which are pretty crucial to understand the plot of season 2 were released after season two), it's not surprising why people didn't like this that much. Overall, I found it pretty enjoyable, much moreso than S1. This had a linear plot throughout and I did like the main characters. It's a shame we'll never get another season but fingers crossed. Who knows ? Maybe Bones will get desperate enough to make another season for the money involved. |
| okay season, good series but i really wanted more backstory and lore than what we got, instead focusing on alcoholism, relationships, betrayal, and plot twists. i still liked it, but was hoping for more. |
 |
| Yeah should of expected a nonsense ending where none of the mysteries are explained. DTB never should have raised the stakes so much. A bi-episodic series that eventually flows into more philosophical and social themes like "are contractors and dolls really human?" and "can contractors live openly with 'normal' humans?" |
| That magician is a true magician... |
| Contractors are liars..... |
| Creating a copy of a planet, huh? That sure was crazy.... I hope they don't plan to make a sequel about Suou again... |
| It seems only Mao survives out of this from the old group..... |
| This is definitely worse than S1 |
