Its more japanized now (if you know what I mean) It's a Japanese anime for heaven's sake :/ you didn't get what i meant |
| I liked it and I hope that thing is Yin. |
 |
| Pretty good episode. |
 |
| it was an alright episode, lol but seriously why is there a phone in like middle of nowhere... lol |

klmnumbers said: I would be sooo happy if Hei got his powers back :oImpurestClub said: astronomical said: It's was OK. I'm not a fan. I guess I liked the first season too much. I'm pretty much in the same camp. I'm not sure why, but I just can't get into this season as much as I did the first. I don't dislike this season, but something just feels off about it to me, like it's not quite DTB (if anyone knows what I mean). Same. They spoiled us with amazing storytelling and character parallels. haha I've been rewatching series 1 for the ~memories. I have a feeling that we're going to get an amazing Crowning Moment of Awesome whenever Hei gets his powers back, though. (and he better get them back). And that would pretty much be totally worth it for me. =D I've re-watched S1 a few times too, sooo good and short enough to re-watch T.T |
Orion1 said: francismeunier said: Very interesting way of thinking about it Oosran but I will think it would be more Suou/Hei stars because one looks like Hei's before it dissapeared and now it might be linked with Suou. The twins being Dolls? Not sure about that but it might be the case. I think I've got it! The twin stars are actually Pai and Suō. Since Hei's sister Pai's power has to be present in order for Hells Gate to be activated for the original story arch to continue, it stands to reason that Izanami is actually Pai. This would also open the possibility of Hei getting his powers when he see's Pai and they merge again in the next episode. Is it Friday yet? That is a excellent theory but it stands to be seen. I never though of it that way and it's even logical. I really can't wait to see what happens if this happens. |
 In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Nice episode, but the story is still a bit confusing. Maybe its because Sou is the confused one, through her ability to have humane thoughts, I love her as a contractor. Im really enjoying watching her characters. It was brilliant to see Hei in action in the building with that cross dresser's wife, man that was a good entrance by her. Next week looks like its another dilemma with Sou. Nice XD |
| Maybe a season 3? |
| This season has completely ruined the series for me. I loved the first season, but now they've turned Hei into a bum who beats up kids, and Mao into a flying squirrel. Plus being able to pull a giant sniper rifle out of your butt is NOT a very good contractor power; it doesn't really even make since. I think I'll give it one more episode to show signs of the old DtB goodness, or I'm going to stop watching this before it ruins my good memories of the first season. |
| I'm personally a fan of what they've done with Hei, and I like him more with each passing episode. This season is moving at a snail's pace. Hopefully it'll pick up, because there are only seven episodes left, and if Suou is still training in the next episode I might fall asleep. Here's to the next episode, which looks far more promising than the last two. |

Wonton said: lol but seriously why is there a phone in like middle of nowhere... lol Hahahaha, that phone stood out to me as well. xD I'm gonna go with the theory that Izanami is either Yin or Xing (Pai)... |
| Wow, I'm really starting to adore Suou. Pretty good episode, but once again too much Kiri and not enough Yin. The stars are probably the Pavlichenko twins. And yes, it'd be awesome if Izanami was Yin or Amber. The two best characters in S1, really. |

He's not a bum, he's still an agent who's training another younger agent. Training a killing machine isn't exactly a happy fun go lucking camping experience. I will agree the anti tank rifle is a bit extreme. I like it so far, to see the inner thoughts of a human forcefully(?) turned contractor instead of seeing an unusual contractor. I predict Hei is going to die, it feels littered everywhere. The main character doesn't like him, he's not bullet proof anymore, and the main character relies on him to be motivated to do something. I meant to say he LOOKS like a bum. Long hair, unkempt face stubble, tattered coat, etc. He looked a lot cooler in the first season. |
| we finally got to see Hei being his old self once again, but i miss him still |
| I think it'd be about the time for Hei to get new clothes (once like he used to have), and stop the drinking—I just can't comprehend the drinking. Most of all I miss the neo-noir Tokyo setting more and more after every episode. I also miss the fight scenes of the first season; they should put more effort in the fight scenes. |

| W0ow Hei has to get his powers bak soon :( |

| Hmm, I felt like not much happened this episode. Stuff happened on Kirihara's end, though I didn't understand any of it. Random woman that works with those twins said something to her that was significant? I didn't get it. I hope Hei will stop being so moody by next episode. Have we ever found out why July is working with them? That was another thing I never really got. And I still don't see how Mao is alive again. Or what happened to Yin. Also- <shot> |

And as of ep 5 I haven't heard July give a single reason for why he's with them. I suppose he has a thing for Suou? =P |

I suppose he just wanted to find a contractor to work for, since April died, and going to work for the guy that killed her was the best idea he could come up with. =/ I suppose July had no care for April since he's a doll, but the series in general has been making it a point on several occasions that there are some feelings within the dolls deep down. It just makes me think there's got to be some reason for July to join Hei and Suou. And sadly Hei never asks July or Suou about anything, making it hard for us to find things out. -_- |

Kira01 said: Somehow, it turns out that BK-201 is Izanagi and Yin is Izanami. Makes sense, I guess since BK-201's element is lightning. Reminds me of Persona 4! But wait.. Code name aside but what this have anything to do with the meteor core and also the star-less sky? I have no clue. I was thinking the same thing about Persona 4, anyway I'm hoping Hei gets his powers back soon even though he seems to be doing just fine without them. I guess Suou is gonna get more action in the next episode. I'll have to watch it when I get up. |
| Wow, what an awesome episode. I loved the part where Hei asked for more food even though he knew the food tasted bad. Basically, he's still a food maniac. <3 Plus, in the mission, I wonder if Hei planned for that. I mean the truck with the machine started to move. I wonder if that was part of his plan. If not, then Hei's in trouble! :( This is very exciting man. Hei is like a run away convict. <3 Oh, and I didn't expect the mother of that boy that likes Suou to show up in the same place too. |
| great episode |
 |
| It's been a while since I've seen Hei eat... or act this cool while beating the crap out of those army men... Want more... |
     |
Only things I noticed in Bluray version is minor details being slightly better like this here, which is the water Nori's mother controls as a contractor=> Other than that trucks details and things like that......overall it's still a amazing re-watch but I just wished they put extra details like the bird being killed by Suou. |
In spoiler my anime list for now. |
| Woah...Hei actually ate. He still has a ways to go before he eats as much as he did in the first season. |
| Nice episode, funny how Suou goes so far as to bring out her rifle to kill a cockroach XD (although its mentioned that Tanya had used cockroaches to kill Nika) |
 |
| Wow. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| OST is great, the story...hmmm, new characters...hmmm |
| Nice pacing. A water-based contractor, nice we hadn't seen one yet and the fight was sweet. Mao is so freaking cute! Those big eyes kill me! |
 |
Gin-iro said: Wonton said: lol but seriously why is there a phone in like middle of nowhere... lol Hahahaha, that phone stood out to me as well. xD I'm gonna go with the theory that Izanami is either Yin or Xing (Pai)... Yeah I don't understand tha either |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| please dont slap me.....on the right side, its still hurts, atleast slap me on the left so its balanced contractors can joke i see. |
     |
| I don't think Suou is a contractor, I think she might be similar to Hei somehow, I mean she has a renumeration which he doesn't have but it seems she has still kept her emotions for the most part. |
 |
| Enjoyable episode, as usual for this season of DTB. It was great to see Suou's character getting developed. And Hei is on Yin(Izanami)'s traces. I just can't see what's going to happen next. |
