So, do the dolls in Darker Than Black and the concept of the Dolls in Dollhouse seem vaguely similar? The whole tabula rasa idea with memories implanted onto the blank slate?

The whole plot was really ambiguous until the very end. I was just about to give up for I was getting weary of the clumsily progressing meaningless events since the first episode. However now I can say that this episode really got me interested to watch more.

So she was a doll the whole time.
And Li is kickass.

Hm... at about 14 minutes and 12 seoncds in(flashback of Chiaki's parents getting murdered) doesn't the guy on the background look like Hei... while the girl attacking looks like Pai?

hehe FMA is on a totally different level indeed..
but still I like this anime till now. It has an atmosphere of its own and i find myself really into it till now. Although I didn't like this episode as the first one, so I'll give a 4/5.
Didn't like the conclusion with her being a Doll and all, but loved Hei's answer that she did live nevertheless.

Chiaki's story was quite tragic. Her obsession with the contracters eventually led into her doom. Even though the one we got to know turned out to be a doll I really felt sad about her death since she seemed so sympathetic when talking with Hei. I have to admit that both her and Hei were able to deceive me quite successfully regarding their true identity.

Indeed a good episode. Too many questions without answers, though. It's good that the girl turned out to be doll, 'cause I didn't like her at all, and even less I wanted her to become some kind of main or even supporting character.
The animation is a bit too fancy and shiny for me at some parts, idk if I'll get used to it.

Great episode, this show is promising. Next episode will introduce a new (soon to be killed, perhaps?) character.

Now I've seen everything, complete fold out cloaks that can be carried in your pocket.
Decent episode.
The doll of Chiaki jumping out to protect him was a bit cliched.

Other than that, this series doesn't seem too bad.

Better than the first episode.
The hell? Black guy biteing a flower.
He betrayed that girl cool! It will be boring if he keep on saving her.
Thought Hei will be dead, but he tricked them.

Interesting second episode clears up some of the character mess that was in the first episode, seems this anime will focus on separated cases or something similar... A good start though I like it so far the main protagonist seems to have an interesting personality as well the two others (dude that smokes and girl with white hair) seem rather interesting as well and what's up with that talking cat?

Nice second episode lets see what's next!

Definitely a more interesting episode than the first. At first I felt bad for the girl because she was betrayed, but then apparently she's just a programmed doll. The fight was also exciting to watch. A jacket that becomes bulletproof only when Hei wears it? Awesome.

Holy shit, that was crazy!

Sucks that the woman was just a doll, though I loved how everything played out! I also liked how Hei said she WAS a live, that's why he didn't kill her from the beginning. He waited until her memories fully faded away.

I hope that Yin girl gets more screen time. She's kinda cute.

OK, guys, I was wondering about one thing. At ~21:25 when the police pay a visit to Hei, the policewoman figures out that Hei is a foreigner after one sentence from him. How did she do that? Did he have a foreign accent or some really bad grammar?

BTW, if you watched the dubbed version, you wouldn't notice this subtlety since they gloss over the fact by translating their lines differently.

Solid episode. I had a feeling Li was a contractor but didn't expect him to be the one who killed Louis. The battle scene was cool. I think I'm going to really enjoy this series.
