| A rather slow episode, didn't see too much action. At least we got to know more about Mao... Also did anyone else notice the Pizza Hut? It seems Pizza Hut has been showing up in a lot of anime these days like Code Geass |

| I don't think it was that bad, I liked it. Looking forward to the next bit, should be interesting. |

| I didn't care too much for these past 2 eps, but there was some funny moments with the Investigator heh The only redeeming parts, really. Next 2 part episodes look like there might be some backstory regarding Kirihara; been interested in knowing more about her too :d |
リスト 。。 |
| I thought the last two were extremely cool, especially since I think Mao is awesome. Even more awesome now that we have some background info on him. Possession is rad. And I think he and Hei are a more...evolved type of contractor? I mean, it's obvious they both show emotion, and have personalities, something contractor's are supposed to have given up in exchange for their powers. Eh, it's confusing. And there's an elf in episode 9 >_>; |
 |
| I lol'd SO hard at the Pizza Hut. I almost cried I laughed so hard. Pizza Hut must have a fetish for whatever timeslot Geass had and DtB now has. Can't wait to see schoolgirl-Kirihara, rofl. |

| Yay finally avaible to watch this, since my computer apparently don't want to view mkv videos anymore. It was a pretty decent episode again, nothing really special happened. Next week seemed a bit interesting though, looking forward to it =) |
| Best part about this episode was when Mao ran into the bridge. Omg, couldn't stop laughing. :D |
Xinil said: Best part about this episode was when Mao ran into the bridge. Omg, couldn't stop laughing. :D Awwww... poor Mao... O_o but yeah... we were laughing our heads off on that one... I'm hoping we're finished with this silly PI, though... not real pleased with that character... |
Chelle said: I'm hoping we're finished with this silly PI, though... not real pleased with that character... I concur. Although the neko girl wasn't too bad. |
Check out how a pimp blings.  |
| Didn't like this arc so much. It was funny to see Mao get abused. I wonder if we'll see more of the private eye and his flat-chested, cosplaying assistant... |
   |
| Lame? Boring? This was hilarious. It's good once in awhile to throw in some humor in these kinds of dark anime seris. mild_even said: I wonder if we'll see more of the private eye and his flat-chested, cosplaying assistant... I hope so. Maybe the assistant will become a Hei stalker. I don't blame her if she does. He's hot. O_O |
 |
| I didn't think it was lame, it kinda got me back into Darker than Black. I was contemplating dropping it since the development of the characters was slow. |
| That was kind of pointless.... 2 episodes about BO =_=" And at that serious-ish part near the end they were all like... "maybe he just wanted to smell the sock" That arc was messed up @_@ |

     Sig WILL change soon~ |
| Alright, this was a weird episode. Maybe he just wanted to smell...a sock? O.o They were being purty serious about that, but I though it was funny. xDD Aw, I actually like the assistant girl. Come on, who WOULDN'T want to stalk Hei? <3 I don't like the investigator much, or the widow. My general thoughts after this ep were: "i should go put on some deoderent..." Which is probably not what they were going for. Lol. |
| this episode i think better than the last one i was really disapointed from the other one but this one was a bit more interasting tho the other episodes were much better and i hope that so will be the new one's. |
 |
| I liked this arc. Not so much for the humour, but more for some hints that the old bastard might have been the contractor whom Hei killed in this episode. Smelling, revenge on his former workers (who might have killed him to take over the company) and the fact that their is no other reason for the contractor to be introduced and kileld in this arc. |
 |
| What would you do if a creepy maid woman had a crush on you? |
     |
| I liked this episode, even though it felt like filler. His secretary is OK! |
 |
| Lame ending to a lame story. Next one seems interesting. Looking forward to it. |
 |
| the arc. yeah it was alright. mainly liked the character development on mao. rofl at mao running into the bridge. XD |
| By the way when the widow came to the previos wife's house she saw the skeleton of the owner of the house. But the detective said that she has died six months ago. The body can't be decomposed to bones. She might see only the dead body, not skeleton. |

The body can't be decomposed to bones. She might see only the dead body, not skeleton. Yeah, that's what I thought. The ending seemed like it implied that Hei doesn't have dreams... Or maybe it's just me. Nice character development on Mao, otherwise nothing much happened. I'm still waiting for Hei to epicly kick ass so I have a reason other than his uber hotness to add him to my favourites list xP |

| After the first three very epic stories, this one felt really... weird? It was funny though, especially when Mao Bird crashed into the bridge. XD I kept expecting that the contractor would have something to do with the whole widow case? Was there a connection that I just missed? Anyways, kind of an okay diversion story I guess. I really wonder if the possessor contractor entered the body of the ugly old dude that Hei works for at the end there... That would be pretty epic if he did. |

There even were body fluids under and around the limbs (yuck). Really liked the arc, the amount of humour was a little surprising, but refreshing, and the episodes didn't seem fillerish at all. I loved that creepy maid. |
Faust721 said: Lame ending to a lame story . agree, it was a boring episode and a very slow one |
| Poor Mao. Lookin' forward next episode! |
 |
| Lol...loved the part when that creepy maid gave the detective that umbrella...I guess she isn't all that suspicious. |
| kinda boring compared to the first few episodes...but it wasn't that bad anyway looking forward to the next few episodes |
 |
| This arc was strange, refreshing but strange nevertheless. I hope this wasn't just a filler and will be of more importance later. |
| kind of a slow arc. i hope its foreshadowing to a later episode. |
 |
| Lol, I wouldn't want to smell a sock as a remuneration. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

Smelling, revenge on his former workers (who might have killed him to take over the company) and the fact that their is no other reason for the contractor to be introduced and kileld in this arc. Revisiting this episode after so much time made me remember that I had a similar thought when I first saw it. Was the dead CEO really the contractor seeking revenge for some plot against his employees and board trustees? After all he was obsessed with smell and that sock may have belonged to his old body....or even his first wife's. After all it would explain why Hei was undercover at the Widow's house just in case said contractor went to see her or something (although Contractors are said to be without the emotional part of the brain and that wouldn't be a very rational move) Yes, I'm not alone! Lol, I was talking to my brother about this after we watched it and he was acting like I was crazy :s The hints were admittedly subtle, but my reasoning's pretty much the same: 1) The body-thief had strong connections to the perfume company, and at the beginning of episode 7 mentions that he remembers his victim him killing him, and there is a potential the old guy was murdered by the people in his company (I can't really remember at the moment if they say the cause of death explicitly though). 2) The body-thief takes those perfumes from each of the victims- the old guy was a collector of them, and these would have been especially rare since they're supposed to have components from beyond the gate. It's also very likely the old guy's remuneration/obeisance was either smelling things (The wife's description sounded as if the old dude was pretty obsessive over it, much like the contractors are with their obeisances) or simply the collecting of the perfumes. 3) Sniffing the sock- it's stated it wasn't his remuneration, so it'd be a very strange thing to do, unless you're a crazy dude obsessed with smells. Now, who's sock it is could be debatable, personally I think it's the first wife's since he loved her scent and what not, but unfortunately I couldn't find any direct hints toward that, like if the body was missing one of the socks or some such. 4) There would have to have been a significant connection between that mansion and the body-thief for Hei to have been working there- I'm very doubtful it was just coincidence. 5) Kind of ties into 4, but from a directing standpoint it'd be very strange to have two nearly completely unrelated events with the slightest of interaction between one another (The jacket mix-up) in the same arc. Anyways, I think there was a lot more to this case than was shown on-screen, and I personally found this arc to be one of my favorites because of it. It left only a few hints and left it up to the viewers to put it all together, but then again, I could be just over-analyzing the non-existent, lol. |

| A young woman gets a rich old man to divorce his old wife and marry her, but becomes bitter because he thinks she smells bad, unlike the first wife. Later, this woman performs a trivial act of spite against the first wife's corpse. Sure am glad that took 45 minutes to play out. Even the cat apologized at the end. |

| Great episode, that stupid private detectives makes me rofl so much. And I love how he insults Kiko every time, I think he actually likes her since he had that bunny girl thing in his coat. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

LOL I thought this arc was great but this post was hilarious. Really cool showcase of powers here with Mao and the sock guy switching back and forth. |
| so will we get to see mr athletes foot be around again? |
| This arc in itself was a bit funny and interesting for me. However, since the prior arcs were emotional, had action, and info on the contractors and their world in general, I was ready for another drama/action arc and then got this funny, quirky, random one. Still enjoyed it, but I want the next one to be more dramatic or something. |
