| Neko-mimi-modo! Great episode, refreshing stuff. Was well mixed with comedy and creepy stuff and almost everything that happened was explained. Hoping for some more action in the next episode. Sreenshot: |

| It started good and ended pretty interesting. The Rest was pretty much -off, but I guess it was a decent episode. |
| Oh baby...digging out earwax. That's hot. I like this new guy, the detective (didn't catch his name). I wonder if he'll be around longer than just this arc. |
     |
| I didn't really like the switch to a more comedic tone in this episode. It looks like it will continue onto the next episode so I'll see where it goes from there. |
 ...even a saint needs a soldier to do the dirty work. |
| It wsa a meh episode. A few laughs here and there like the screenshot above but other than that it was kinda boring. |
 |
| it was boring... the only good thing this episode had was the neko mimi girl |
 |
omerby said: the worst thing about this episode was the neko mimi girl Oh, I totally agree. :P |
|
| this episode took a 'lighter' tone,still prefer if they stayed in a serious tone. |
 |
| I thought it was an awesome episode. Mao is awesome, so I'm glad this arc features more of him. I'm hoping the dead body was a skeleton because it was eaten by the cat. That'd be awesome >: |

| meh... just meh... I need more Hei kicking ass =P |
| Yeah.. Kind of randomly lighter.. I liked that it was kick ass before.. I thought the contrast between the previous episodes and that one were a bit too much, but still a 4/5. I need more Kei HEI kicking ass too!!! (too funny a typo to completely delete) |
| I'd have to agree, it was a decent episode. However, I didn't like the randomness of throwing the detective in there. If 7 & 8 though are used to provide more background behind some of the characters, then I guess it will be good. |
  Dibs on Ishida! |
| With 25 episodes (not confirmed, actually AniDB and ANN list that number so I might as well go and edit the anime info) it should be okay to have a bit of randomness. :) |

| Just saw the ep, and I thought it was awesome. They should give that detective his own show :P Glad they threw some comedy in the series, was a nice change in pace. |
  |
| ^I agree. The anime/cosplay thing with the girl is funny. And the detective is scared of cats. *lol* Anyways, did anyone notice the girls hair curl into a heart when she was checking out Hei at resturant? That was total awsomeness. I also liked the baseball game that was on tv in the resturant. *lol* I also liked the creepy maid. She seemed suspicious. |
 |
| Well... that's the most colorful episode I've seen in a while o_O Diggin out ear wax??? a HOBBY??!! That was a bit disturbing... but the episode was a kinda break from all the intense stuff... but it was kinda so so.... I'd give it a 3-ish >.> |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Meh. I like the pinked haired girl, surprisingly. Normally hyper pink haired anime girls are super annoying. ^^; It was an amusing ep, but I think I like the darker episodes better, personally. This comedic one came out of nowhere! O.o Although the beginning and ending were interesting enough. |
| Okay, that was an awkward shift in tone for the series, and I really don't think it worked well. For a little while I was thinking I was accidentally watching some other show. On the bright side, at least there's more of Mao in this episode (Hei seems to hog the limelight most of the time, I'd like to know more about his teammates). |

| I loved this episode! It was really funny which was a nice change from the usual serious tone of the anime. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE the serious tone and Kei's fine self. But Its nice to watch something and laugh as well as wallow in the characters misery with them. 5/5 from me. |
 |
| This episode was pretty funny, at first I wasn't sure I was watching the right series X) |
  |
| the start was nice but after that it was totaly boring! |
 |
| twas gd, despite some ppl's views, i actually lik how flexible this anime is, even adding some humour into it rather than just action/horror/drama. i liked it |

| Pretty humorous episode, I love how Hei just suddenly appears in the mansion sorting books. The detective's assistant was quite likable too, hope to see more of her next episode. |
| i really liked this ep. it was a good change of pace. i'm starting to really like this series now. i want more of this. |
to little to late. |
| It was a decent episode, but like many people said, it kinda took away from the darker atmosphere of DTB. Perhaps its cause I finished so many comedic animes in the last 2 weeks that I really wanted a good change in pace. |
    |
| It wsa a meh episode. A few laughs here and there like the screenshot above but other than that it was kinda boring. |
 |
| wtf suspicious looking maid. she's up to something. and I'd totally want an earwax orgasm now |
| what the heck was with this ep, i wanted to see more of Hei *snif, snif* |
     |
| It wasn't bad. I pretty much like any episode of Darker Than Black. However, compared to the darker, more action packed usual, it wasn't so great. But like I said, I like ALL of the episodes, this one was just not the best. Overall, I give it a....6 on a scale of 1----10. |
 |
| I loved this episode. They mixed comedy and suspense perfectly. I wasn't so excited with any anime for a long time!!!! |
| Is that really the cat ?! |
     |
| great sudden shift of mood...^^ i loved the sexy widow though...>.< |
     thx 2 Rinjii 4 d sigy^^ |
| Finally a good episode ;) I mean jeez, this show has slacking a little for me in the last couple of episo I just hope it keeps getting better from here. |
| great episode, Loserkid said: agree!Meh. I like the pinked haired girl, surprisingly. Normally hyper pink haired anime girls are super annoying. ^^; |
| Funny and enjoyable. |
 |
| I actually liked the comedy in this episode...keeps the show upbeat. I laughed at the ear cleaning thing...it actually does feel good when someone cleans your ear. |
| My favourite episode for the moment |
| Aaah I like these two new characters presented!!!! :D They are so much fun and give the series a lighter note! I hope they will stay more than one more episode.. |
“In a mad world, only the mad are sane.”Akira Kurosawa  |
| Obviously, this one was focused more on comedy, which from time to time was good, but overall it lacked more action, more Hei. After the opening I didn't understand if I was still watching the same DTB. Although, that pink neko girl was something refreshing in this show ;P |
| Refreshing episode. It was okay. |
  |
| Good episode but it felt like a filler. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| I don't know about you guys but I was more focused on Yin more than anything. I guess I have a thing for white haired, red eyed emotionless girls. When Yin held Hei's hand....:o I was jealous but then happy she had SOME sort of emotion |
 |
| I thought the "lighter" tone was okay, but the neko mimi girl (and second detective) was kind of annoying. The detective was pretty funny, because of his unfitting character as a clumsy detective. Overall it was good, but it's like a curve ball, near complete opposite of the last episode, which was much, MUCH darker. I'll see it was okay, but I've seen better (*cough* FMA: Flame Alchemist *cough*) |
| “Don’t ask for it; go out and win it on your own. Do that, and you will succeed.” |
| The detective should have his own show :) |
Chelle said: meh... just meh... I need more Hei kicking ass =P yea there hasnt been enough of that, we havent even seen him fighting a full battle, they always get stopped or he has to leave. |
     |
| The music in this anime is spectacular. Anyway, detective Kurasawa is a boss. |
