Since the arc goes for 4 episodes compared to how the season went with mainly the 2 episodes per arc structure, the pacing feels a lot better and the story and ideas have more room to breathe and feel better executed. I found the tone of the episode to be pretty grim with no comedy in sight really, especially given Yin's attitude in particular this episode when she's struggling to communicate her thoughts with Hei and even cried a little when Hei offered to split up from her in order for her to feel safe and not have the voices in her head drag her down essentially like its been recently. Damn you Xi-Qi lol. Intrigued for what the final episode of these OVAs have to offer before I start Gemini after.

I've been meaning to say this for a while, but Hei and Yin feel a little bit out-of-character in this OVA. I also don't like how they're shoving romance between them, it just feels unnatural.

Can that guy please stop imitating Amber? It feels weirdly uncomfortable, probably because she's already dead and I like her too much to see her like this. But still, this is still better than the 2nd season, but the reason they didn't just make this the 2nd season was probably because it would be too short.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

The second half of this episode was quite dark, but nothing out of the ordinary. Yin getting caught up in all these organisational power plays is a sad sight. Dolls in general seem to be constantly subject to people manipulating and taking advantage of them, even when they begin to show more emotion.

A lot of things happened in this episode. I like that in these OVAs, Yin wears different clothes, which makes her character more authentic than the dress she always wore in Season 1 (although I liked the dress too).
In my opinion, they could have utilized the remnants of the EPR more. There was a good premise, especially with the two contractors who had a baby.
The first half of the episode is perfect. However, I didn't like the way the second part of the episode and the subsequent events unfolded. Unfortunately, it happened that way.
Anyway, the OST of Darker than Black, as always, doesn't disappoint. The music contributes very well to the emotion.
