This was a good ending to the whole Yin affair. I dislike Huang just a little less now since he stuck his neck out for Yin.

Looking forward to the next episode with the return of the MI6 members and the blonde girl that showed up once again this episode.

Woah someone actually subbing it now. Now I can't torture people about being 3 eps ahead.

This ep was good, i liked that entire arc. Next few looks like they're going to be pretty nice as well. I liked the direction they took with this episode though. Slowly developing characters and giving a story line.

I liked this arc as well. I'm really loving Yin. She is a cool character. I liked how Hei was sticking out for Yin. The next arc looks fun, looking forward to it.

its seems they were waiting to sub 14 and released them 2 at a time. Subbing varies alot, Claymore subs come out the day after while Guardian of the Sacred Spirit (Serei no Moribito) will come out the day before the next one. Darker than Black is aired on Thursdays so don't expect any subs for 15 until at least Friday if not Saturday 2 weeks from now.

Anyways, I liked the moonlight metaphor. Also with her blindness coupled with her past tragedies made for a very well made emotion returning to the emotionless scene. Had she been able to see she would have known that it wasn't the moon's rays shining down on her.

15 looks promising, maybe we'll get to figure out who that girl is. I believe she's the same one who holds Hei's head during the OP.

Though I liked these Yin story columes, I thought it could have had more potential.

Hopefully the series will regain some of the momentum it had in the earlier episodes. I feel its getting a little bit off track.

This episode was a little predicatable - I mean, of course Huang was going to somehow be affected by her and not kill her and of course she and Hei would have some little bonding moment. But, still, I liked it. :) I had thought in the beginning that Yin would play a bigger role in the series, so I'm glad we're finally getting to see more of her.

And Huang, too. I didn't expect him to be kind of adversarial with Mao and Hei, as he turned out to be. Or maybe he's just a big softie. Awww.

The conversation between the contractors in the car was hilarious.
"I don't really swallow things, just put them in my mouth and spit them out."
"Oh, so no different than when you were human?"

Everyone up to this point watched the RAW anyway, momo.

Anyway, pretty sad episode but it was great. Hei always suprises me, and the Detective and Kiko are indeed great ^^. I love the details they show, especially on the cars. There's even going to be an RX-8 in the next episode :o . The Laptop Kiko used had Avast! Antivirus installed, all that kinda stuff is awesome.

Looking forward to more.

I heard something about the guy and saw a few screenshots showing anon post on 4chan, seemed to be the same guy. If it was then I'd never get subs from man like him. But it's true, I haven't seen it.

You sure it's the same person? Anyone can post anonymous on 4chan. The vast majority of people who post there don't bother to use a user name.

Yeah I know that, that's one of the 1235486545 reasons I usually don't go to that site. Guess it was wrong from me to assume this is the case and I humbly aplogize.:D

But in my opinion sudo do the best job on subbing dtB.

Very good episode. Kiko is just like me... we fall asleep after we do heavy drinking! Man, what a bad matchup for the lady against Hei. I'm amazed that he could recover that quickly after defribulating himself. And lucky for him, Huang was there as a a sniper. I'm so glad Yin didn't die. I was pretty tense.

More Amber (C.C. to some folks) as well! And more Pizza Hut... yuck.

And the faces that everyone has when they're electricuted... those are pretty funny... I'm probably weird for thinking that though >.<

Is it just me or is Pizza Hut becoming part of a regular occurring pattern in anime now a days? Did Japan recently get Pizza Hut over seas? Before you know it all anime's will ditch bento boxes and hit Pizza hut. Naruto will drop ramen and go for a cheesy deep-dish. XD

Great end to the arc!

Loved the character development/backstory, especially for Izak and Bertha, the Contractors from the FSB. It made the their demise in the 'moonlight' really beautiful and sad.

But man, why do the people, in this verse, keep saying Contractors/Dolls have no feelings etc? We're seeing more and more that this isn't the case. Damn them for treating Contractors/Dolls like dispensable puppets!!!!! :<

Loved this ep. Glad to see Hei expose his softer side :'3 Yin was cute too. The detective duo were fun, though I find them kind of irritating. Oh well.

Yep, me too.
Her smile at the end was heartbreaking ;__;
Hopefully, we'll see some more of that blonde girl next episode.

Aww, I wish Yin had a LEETLE more character developmen, as in, changing her outlook about the world or something. The whole unemotional thing is driving me crazy; is she a doll or isn't she?

You can't call it "product placement" per se but if that were Pizza Hut's logo, that product placement would have done it's job.

Good episode. Wonder how they go around picking dolls. How the hell did she end up that way...

Edit:
Just fired up episode 15 and there it is: PIZZA HUT. Must be intentional after all.
