| I'm so confused... First and second season are very different. Where is action? Where is Hei in mask? Where is Yin at last? This is totally different from what I expected... But if looking from the other side - it rocks) Suou is very nice and cute. I'm glad that she not become emotionless ^_^, but... it's very sad that she died in real world. Same story about Yin, but I hope she is alive. Hei can't kill her >_< Questions... It's a lot of questions and too short. I don't know what to say... Poor Yin... Poor Suou ( As a result I really like it, because it's still DtB |

| Meh. The ending wasn't what I was expecting but it wasn't horrible... Though I think this season proved to me that characters can make or break a show. There were too many characters in DtB2, and of that mass, most of them I didn't care about. I only liked July, Hei, and Mao in this, as Suou got annoying after a while. Still, this was a typical BONES ending... Sigh. |
| I loved this series from start to finish, however I did have some doubts about the ending. It just confused the hell out of me, I really hope for the sake of peoples sanity there's a second season. I love Suou, she's definitely one of my favourite characters, Hei on the other hand was one of my favourites, but now is no longer. |
| I hope there will be a next season. I liked how they made the connection with the first season, but the ending is too open to many scenarios. |
    |
| I too want the next season. We still don't know anything more than after first season. And plus I don't like this one. It's worse what first. I really was disappointed. But if more Hei then better :). I'd love so watch more and more :) |
| So basically, the ending was a piece of shit. Suou and July have been placed into a happy world...but what's the point if it's fake. The best part of this anime is Suou's journey and how she survives. Also July and how he travels with her and slowly grows attached to her despite being a doll. All that bullshit with that sad excuse for a character (talking about Yin) was a complete waste of my time. All the crap with investigations related to Yin were a waste of time too. Ending sucked. If this anime were to have cut out anything and everything to do with Yin and that armageddon nonsense and just been about Suou, July, Mao and Hei and their life together as they journeyed then it would have been really nice. |
 |
| I've ended watching this a while ago and there's still a big mess in my mind. I guess it's not only me. I think I have to rewatch it someday. The ending was so messy I can't really tell if I like it or not. It's mysterious like always and I think if I'll understand it, I'll like it. In the series there was too little action. I didn't mind Hei The Drunk, but that times during the journey were too mild for me. The background characters were dying too fast. There was to little of Hazuki. I liked her. Shion and the father weren't really convincing for me. Neither their relationships with Suou nor their purposes. Or maybe I missed something. This series was too short. They could push it more. Still I liiiiiked it :D |
| I didn't care about Suou or her story and her transformation annoyed me. ☺ 3/10 not enough Hie time, what a horrible sequel. |

| Disagreeing with everybody who thinks the majority of questions were answered. Nothing got answered. Like THE BIGGEST QUESTION, what is Hell's Gate and where the hell did it come from. B| Also, shota!Yin, plz to be explaining that. |

| The beginning was weak, but I liked the ending a lot more than season one's. This could be the setup for an incredible season three. |

| I've given up on that series. s2 was a major disappointment. s1 raised some interesting questions but answered few of them (existence of hell's gate, where and how does the syndicate came into being etc). this ova had excellent action and atmosphere at the beginning. and it does clarify how yin became the way she was in s2. lets see if they do better in the 3 remaining ovas. |
| I think I'm in the minority here, but personally I preferred the first half of S2 rather than the ending few episodes. I really enjoyed meeting the new characters, the interactions between them and the general pacing of the plot. Personally I really liked the way they portrayed Hei, it gave him extra depth and to go most of the season without his powers was an interesting development. I was expecting as the plot progressed for it to bridge the gap between the first season and the second season and perhaps address some of the questions that had been raised. However the ending for me was a huge disappointment, full of plot holes and open to many interpretations, some people like these kind of endings but personally I hate them. I'm all for cliffhangers, but don't tease me for majority of the series and then throw everything out the window in the finale. |
| See You Space Cowboy |
| lol... What happened with this season, i can't believe the trash i just saw... I didn't expect such a weak end so inconvenient (for some.. uhm.. mostly everyone). My point of view for the season, first half was a little too speeded up, though there were some good scenes (especially the whole journey thing) the ending was nothing compared to season 1... it was full of shit.. the running through the anime was so out of line with the end (on one point they are the same: quick ending) :X I can't believe it, how could they do such a bad end.. :X and the start was filled with hopes of an great story of the anime, but.. nothing like that IT WAS SHIT !!!!!! the first one was light years better than this.. |
| Grr, man WTFREAK!! Why did they even have a 2nd season, it wasnt worth it! I was fine with just to 1st, I was just curious about who Hei was going to pick.Ii didn't ask for new characters to confuse me...geez And wtfreak was up with Yin? First she's in a coffin with her hair cut then she's dead in Hei's arms (O.O)....I don't know about you but that does not seem like a happy end to me, (walking around with your lovers dead corpses for an eternity) July he seem pretty happy in the end tho....Suou was too i guess. ^___^ So was that Shion's plan all along to make his copy (Suou) happy or as he said it give her a present? BS man the whole thing was BS 13 eps of crap!!!!! Except for getting to see July smile. Real and Fake ^__^ I love him And wth happen to that Norio guy was there even a point of him being in there? Oh well I still think he's awesome. Yup I know. Idk if I should be happy about some of the character's ending or just pissed off about the ending as a whole?....like I said everything confused me. T_T Poor Yin...did they ever specificity say how she got that way?.....crap now I feel bad for Hei cause his all alone and sad...I just want to forget everything but July T__T ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm back and apparently you can find out what happens to Yin in the OVA's. |

| Wtf!!!!!!!!!!!!! another "it's only beginning" ending...... so,,,3rd season???? |
| Well, just finished it... WHY oh WHY can't japanese make DECENT ENDINGS GAAHHH!!! >_> Was gonna rate it 9/10 but this ending made me rate it 8/10... confusing , wtf really happened now... bleh |
| Just finished watching Darker than Black: Season 2. My reaction: "Huh?" That is all. Cool music though. |
| What the..! Huh..? So many question...?_? Oh well |
 |
| lol why does the ending very pointless? in Kuro too. everyone die and that's it. well i think there more. |
| Uhmmm... I guess DtB it's all about open endings and unaswered questions ^_^ Anyway, I think they did a good job ^_^... On screwing up literally all great characters from the first season, on introducing interesting ones but failing to give them time to develop and on presenting a plot full of holes that doesn't deserve to be called a "sequel" !! Even if I did kinda enjoy the "drunkard Hei" and Suou's journey, this way of ending it ruined it all :( . This was Darker than Black, they should have given it a better ending >_< |
     |
| Nice but still not getting it. Kinda miss the first arc. <3 the CC-type girl. |
| Just finished this, and after seeing both the first and second seasons in the same week back to back I was certainly disappointed like most people here. As for this episode in particular and the ending in general, I'm fine with open endings but what the heck was that? There wasn't nearly enough Hei time. Plus the constant reuse of that same same clip for Suou's ability was very annoying imo. Don't get me wrong I liked Suou a lot but they could have shared the spotlight more. So, besides the big disappointments in this season and the huge wtf ending I'm still giving this garbage (compared to S1) a 8/10 because it entertained me more times than it angered me and more importantly gave me the hope of them redeeming themselves in S3 or OVA.

| "If you're in a bad situation, don't worry it'll change. If you're in a good situation, don't worry it'll change.", John A. Simone, Sr. |
| Imo this wasn't as good as the first season. I was most disappointed at the fact that Yin wasn't one of the main characters. There were quite a few things that left me confused too like how did Yin get caught? and why did she become a villain (so to speak)? And the ending was even more disappointing. I didn't like the part where they showed Hei just walking away and no one having any idea of him at all. Does anyone know if there is going to be a season 3? |
| Rumored that there are -no- plans for season 3, but I am hoping that's just to get people worked up.. if DVDs sell well I think there will be another deal between BONES for s3. |

| lol....just put it this way, we are looking at a man that lost everything.....it's simple lol well it's still a good series |
| I'm done and I still don't get the hate. The almost final scene with Hei carrying Yin away was beautifully done. And July was so adorable at the end - he was with November 11, wasn't he? I'll keep thinking that anyway. Sure, there was way too little Hei, and too much new characters, but that doesn't make it a bad show. It's not what I'd expected but I still liked it. (Except for abusive alcoholic Hei, of course.) Cian8900 said: I'm pretty sure that's the Shion/Yin fusion that Amber had predicted. Or a copy of Yin that Shion made - and like Suou, Yin-clone became a different gender. |
| Everyone that comes here to say "WTF ending" take a few minutes to browse through this thread there are a lot of good explanations around... |
| [complicated pictogram] [complicated pictogram] [complicated pictogram] [urinating dog] |
| What was the point of the magician returning and disappearing instantly again?.....sigh |
     |
| for me at least the season had it's moment's i just don't understand why they remove hei's power's at the beginning. hei can still out maneuver pretty much any contractor i wanted to see him more with his long hair,black coat and damaged mask. there should be a season 3 there's alot of things left out. why are there 2 yins(maybe the other is yan?) and another one in the casket? Misaki said this is the only beginning, magician is alive, it's not the moon but another earth???, Hei and Yin walking at the end, the origins of the contractors and how hei's sister and amber got involved in the hell/heaven's gate incident? soooo many questions let's just hope the creator answer all this in season 3(if there's gonna be any) |
| Hmm what if the yin figure in the coffin is Yins offspring. This may tie in with the whole, yin and hei fused idea. Or maybe its Yin and shions... i dunno. |
| And thinking of it as the child of Yin and Shion.. Makes me sad D: |

     |
| Just finished this series, I still have so many questions to ask. If anyone knows the answers, I'd be much obliged, as there are 20 pages on this forum, and I simply don't have time to look through all of it. First off, Shion copied the earth, but exactly who ends up on it? We see a huge amount of observer spirits circling Yin, and Suou and July, and her parents end up on it, but who else? Have all contractors and dolls gone to this new earth, away from mankind? Is that why Yin/Izanami was able to cause contractors to commit suicide? Then: Does Hei kill Yin? She mentions there is still time to kill her, and we see him carrying her limp body...??? Thanks for any answers |

I JUST FINISHED IT AND WAS LIKE 0_0 ....MINDFUCK !! holyshit, just when i thought DTB couldn't screw with my head anymore, its pulls off a complete SICK ending ! i loved it though. Fitting for DTB cause i think it has a mysterious aura and the ending kept it......well, rather magnified it a thousand fold and slapped it in our face but still, 10/10 for me.... p.s the good thing abt a vague ending is that it's re-watch value increases. p.p.s i love it when they blame everything on the US :P |

ReiLuvsChii said: THIS NEVER EXISTED. I finally realize what that off feeling I had about the series was. It seems like it was written as a fanfiction of sorts. I felt so disappointed in the ending because all of Suou's character development went away in the end. Come on, she had some development: She went from random middle-school girl to Hei's permanent magical slapping target, and then back! I cried at the end not because Yin died/whoeverknows, but because the character development crawled into a hole and died a lonely death in the middle of nowhere. It had so much potential to do something, too. This series would have been an 8/10 for the awesome BGM and action scenes, but the ending... no. Just no. I will now pretend as if the memories of this series were all just fabrications and continue on with my daily life. |
| WoW I've seen some stupid comments in this thread. You guys must be retarted if you don't get the ending. Watch the last episode one more time PLS Btw, to clarify some things, in case u guys need help, here's some info : 1. Suou and July are Dead in the Real World, They're alive in a alternate world tho ( illusion/copy created by Shion) 2. Hei is still alive because his star is still shining ( which means his powers are back) 3. Yin is unclear whether she's dead or not. ( Personally, I think She's alive) 4. IF We ever see a third season, Amber is back for sure. Yes , there are many questions regarding Hell's gate // Heaven's Gate And The NEW Gate so just wait for a fuckin' third season!!! |

| lolwut the hell kind of ending was that? Not really what I was hoping for in this sequel. Suou was a good main character and amusing to watch at times but I don't like how she got all the spotlight. I spent most of the series feeling bad for Hei without even knowing what exactly happened between him and Yin. Yin who was a major force in this barely got any screen time, which was a big disappointment for me since she was my favorite character in season 1. July on the other hand I liked, he was the Yin of this season for me. The interactions between him and Suou were very nice. The scene where he rejects the magician guy and then hugs Suou was my favorite. All and all, it was entertaining, though the ending could have been better. |

But he hardly got any screen time and wen he did he was drinking half the time. and i hate how they took his contractor abilities away. i didnt like suou wat so ever she was annoying as hell. and i love yin but i dont think she is dead since there were two of her at the end. and on top of that most likely they're gonna have a s4 of darker than black, cause everybody is on the run now and they're most likely to bringing hei back to kick some ass |
 |
| Maybe when it's dubbed I'll understand it better. |
 |
| I think I understood most of what happened...though there seems to be some things open for a possible new season. I'm looking forward to watching the prequel ovas for this. |
