Loved the OP song :D

Great action again, and the plot thickens quite abit. What happened to Yin?!?! ;_;
She seems to be connected to the fragments, which would make it plausible why Hei is searching for them as frantically as he is. Her connection to them is also foreshadowed by her scene in the OP. In any case, I'm dying to know what that's all about.
And.. That WAS Mao's voice urging Suou to escape, right?


New contractors are awesome, especially August 7 and Mina. Also, yay for Misaki's first appearance.

OP.


While I personally really like it, many are probably going to complain that it's too upbeat and that it doesn't fit the series though. Oh, I forgot to mention, ending animation changed aswell.

As for the raw, it's not out yet. Watched it on TV.

TV) cool...Thanks for OP

well...seems like the main character isn`t Hei this season O_o though he`s more suitable to be called "darker than black")
well, too early to judge...need all 12 eps to do that
*hopes there`ll be more of Hei...even he need to cut his hair XD*

Mhhh... looks interesting, but I want Hei's old look |:
I haven't seen the whole second season but I hope for more Hei and Yin ;O;
Even I think there will be more Suo, I miss the old season where everything was just about Hei... it was kickass.

I like the song and such, but I have to admit that was my initial reaction. This season seems rather different than what we've seen before, though. I dunno. I've only seen the first episode, as I'm going to wait for the subs for the second.

I preferred the first OP's. :/

I liked the first OP song, but the visuals in the OP2(s2) were awesome.
Suou has now become my favourite character! yay. + to list.
The preview> Tanya is gunna work for the bad people, and lure Suou out maybe, with the help of Nika. Poor Nika being deceived once again.....
Tanya resembles Amber though... AND I LOVED AMBER>!

Hei's new look kinda look hobo- and he needs to shave!

Overall, loved episode 2... !

Incredible episode! Hazuki's powers are incredible! She can teleport herself and also throw objects/make objects into some sort of light saber like jedis? That is incredible but I am confused if her payment is to kiss others on the lips or do that with alcohol then spit the alcohol out Guess now I know with the subs it's her that does not like that guy Shizume and is why she took alcohol for bad taste maybe she likes girls? So glad that Mao is back and is most likely in flying squirrel. The other Shizume (not sure because of no subs) (now I am sure) has the power to take anything around him and put it on himself? O_O Incredible and fantastic power. Too bad they erased Sascha's memories that she did not recognize Suou , that was unfair. There is something up with Yin, she disappeared but not sure how nor how to bring her back even if it is possible. August 07 is gone? O_O another big surprise because of his powers he could have survived (I took a look a second time at this and it looked as if he was just stunned and about to be killed by Hei but Suou wanted him not to do that). Surprised he can absorb things and send back at others than make things appear suddenly to use like a shotgun.

um, everything I want to say? XD

YES, OP is KICKESS. Stereopony <3 After Gundam00 2nd season's OP2, stereopony manages another awesome OP! But yes, quite different from first season, but different isn't necessarily bad...we'll see!

YIN!! NO!!! Like, one of my fav char!! Explain, now!

So, July-kun truly is alone now. Why kill off April ;_; That August 7 dude died pretty fast...or did he? 8)

Bunch of new chars and I like them all, which is a good sign

Looks like this is about Suou mainly, with a bit of Hei on the side? :S

Hahaha. I miss the old Hei but I like this Heibo too, it shows how much he changed and now he needs to drink heavily to forget bad memories! (about what happened to Yin? :S)

I want next ep, now!

The OP is brilliant.

Song is easily the best this season so far, with very few left to air.

The animation has a slow pace, but is done quite well aswell. I have a feeling there'll be a v2 with new animation later on.

Haven't seen the ep yet, but I'm sure it'll be great.

I have to admit the OP is brilliant but wished it was more up beat like the first season. Suou's big sniper gun impressed me.

Thanks for the info about Yin but I still do not understand how Yin situation is like this in the first place. I think the star at the end might be Hei but then why would Hei be still alive? August 07 looked only stunned and not dead. After watching it a second time it looks like it but not sure yet.
BTW anyone care to explain me under the spoiler what they used against Hei in this part? Some mines with some stun shield?

Great episode

Assuming Hei is gonna lose his powers, he's still gonna kick-ass. After all, he got the title "black reaper" even before he became a contractor. yeah I also get a feeling that Yin is dead; Yin was the only friend that survived the assault on hells gate a few years ago, and now (assuming she's dead) she's gone. He totally lost it (poor guy)

lol'd @ molesting hobo hei oh and I can't wait for Suou to start using that huge sniper at op :D

Good episode,Yin is pretty much dead and/or her consciousness is in some unreacheable place right now.Liked the OP too,Hei walking away compared to him walking towards the screen in the 1st DtB OP was a nice touch.
Next ep...poor Nika,in the best scenario he's being used.In the worst one he is being used and killed moments later.

When the star disappeared that's what i thought also. That number was his star. Right?
And something happened to our Yin. I would be depressed also. Now i understand why Hei is like that.

Anyway the episode was awesome and it looks like Darker than Black will be really strong. Kind of makes you sad knowing there won't be 26 episodes.

I liked the previous episode better, but this one was good too. Suou is OK but the rest of the new characters are just... meh, not really interesting, so far no one to like, hate or care about. I hope this will change in the future, and I hope for more Hei in the coming episodes, even though his new look is a bit blah...
As for the plot - so far so good.

and last but not least - Misaki! <3

Good episode. This might even be better than the first season. I love those power struggles between secret organizations. The contractors involved also have interesting powers, though the golem guy is kind of lame.
I was a bit disappointed in the OP song. I expected some heavy beats like in the first season. This pretty normal song doesn't really fit my image of DtB.

Actually Hai never was a true contractor, he doesn't have a payment. If I remember correctly from last season his powers come from his merging with his sister.

Exactly what i was thinking, the opening is way to poppy and it definitely doesn't seem to fit the series.

Episode two was amazing and I'm loving the feel of season two so far other than the opening of course, but that's what fast forward is for. I'm still in shock that it's only going to be 12 eps. However I always say I like my series short and sweet unless it's got meat. This series definitely has some meat, but if it's done really well short could be epic. I doubt it though, my bet is on a cliffhanger ending and a season three.

I hope they don't do that. Also after seeing it again, is Hei lying about the professor to that guy from the CIA? Hei said that the professor was already dead but it looked Hei killed him. Why would he lie? Suous poster thing was brilliant! "The worst lowlife on Earth is on the run for taking my sister's chastity and her savings" Talk about something. Russian names: Kozlov, interesting add ons. I suppose they were about to erase Nika's memory those guys. Hazuki must have it though with her payment.
Have real bad feeling for next episode about Tanya and Nika Lobanov. They might die and more character might come in but I like their innocence. This will suck when it happens. The battles of Hei against Hazuki and August 07 were great like season 1. That is a good thing at least.

I thought its very clearly suggested that Shion killed his own father.

ps:he also gave his sister his jacket so that everyone will be after suou while he runs away quietly.
