| Once agian another ep where some questions have been answered but it just leaves me asking more. Form the preview it does look like it's moving back onto the main plot and gearing up into the last few eps. I really liked seeing the two different remunerations this episode. Aging (opposite of Amber), and human emotions. So maybe Hei's remuneration is similarly abstract (if he still has one). |

| A good episode indeed. Since we're near the end, i expect great things as we focus onto the main plot. |
 |
| Why did she have to die!? |
ashura said: awww that was 1 sad ep :S alot of romance these days in DTB >.< only mao is left out of it ssss |
  Dibs on Ishida! |
| No Kirihara in this episode. :( *cries* I want more Hei x Kirihara! Anyway, 19 & 20 were kinda blah. Decent, but nothing great. |
| mao is great, he should have some more balls though but still =) |
| Well they kind of have Mao's balls in a vice. If it wasnt for the computer they have hooked to him, the animals wouldnt be able to hold his brain. So they literally have his mind at their mercy. |

Get either K-Lite codec pack or CCCP codec pack, then use Media Player Classic or VLC. I recomend CCCP + MPC. I also recomend getting the raws and useing the subs provided in .ass by anon. |

| Hi, I'm not allowed to download a codec that will play .mvk files and i have no idea how you mix a raw and a .ass file. I'm currently stuck at episode 11 for downloading, so if anyone knows where I can download episode 11 in a .avi file please tell me. Thankyou =] p.s. please post websites because I have trouble finding the releases if you just state a subbers name (Sorry for being such a n00b) |
 |
| ok i got the cccp and mpc, thanks so much for your help! but now i need to find the subs .ass but where??? to get the raws is easy but i just can't find a place to download the subtitles. btw i tried watching sudo fansub but the frames are very slow , i can see the subtitles and i have the audio but the frames go very slow |

They're up to 18. |

| Thankyou TheWestExit. I've been on that site before but I could never find episode 11 for some reason. It was probably 'cause I'm such a n00b =P |
|
| Great episode. I trust Huang a bit more now since he's shown that he isn't utterly brainwashed by the Syndicate, rather, that he was willing to betray them. Sort of. I'm itching to meet the other contractors that make up Evening Primrose. |
 |
| Hmmm... I havent seen 21 yet. I will cry if I have to wait for funimation to put it out in english. |
| *cry* sad sad sad TT_TT But who wants to bet that Huang's gonna die from alcohol over-intake?? or w/e?? xD And right now... Mao really seems like a pussy to me -_-".... all the other contractors seemed more... emotional [if that's possible...] to me.. Mao's just kinda left out T_T |

| I didn't like Huang, but now I feel sorry for this bastard... But at lleast not all happines he had with Shihoko was a lie. Some remunerations can really be suprising. About this guy- why boiled eggs? o.O |
  The best shape for an angel! ;) |
| I lol'd at the boiled eggs too xD Anyways this was a sad episode. Romantic, and also gory >< Ugh! |
| A good episode indeed. Since we're near the end, i expect great things as we focus onto the main plot. |

| u guys had to remember when Mao said he was connected to the network, they could cut him off anytime. |
| That scene in the middle with the montage of all the different contacters was amazing. |
Zepwich said: That scene in the middle with the montage of all the different contacters was amazing. I agree. :) But dang, Huang went to one of my most hated characters to Well-I-kinda-like-him-now characters. Sucks that Shihoko died; I was hoping that they'd actually get away. :( |
Gin-iro said: I agree. :) I was actually thinking that you could take that scene do a little bit of re-editing (but keeping the original voice over) and it would be a perfect trailer. |
| expected that she will die somehow .. |
     |
| I can't think of another example of throwing yourself in front of a truck as a romantic gesture. ^^ I wonder if that will suffice to protect Huang though. |

| I like how the theme of contractors being people was melded into this story arc. Turns out there was more to Huang this whole time, and sheds a bit more light on this organization they all work for. I didn't get why they wanted to kill the Prophet though. Did they ever give a reason for it? |

| Poor Huang. |
 |
| I pretty much knew she was gonna die but I still cried like a bitch anyway... |
Silverhammer said: I can't think of another example of throwing yourself in front of a truck as a romantic gesture. ^^ XD agree :))) |
 |
| I almost thought they were actually going to get away. I want Misaki to be involved in more stuff...I feel like we don't see her enough. |
| waaa i cried at the ending, how it could finish this way!!? TT-TT hwang you had to be happy with her T-T |
 |
| Getting old as you keep using powers. How that would suck. :| |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Great psychology in that anime. It was so wonderfull that Shihoko sacrificed herself to let Huang live, and how Hei wanted to save both their lives. It's an example that Contractors actually HAVE feelings. I personally loved the talh between Hei and Alma. |
| I kinda knew that shioko was going to die... a love story inside this type of genre and you just know it won't end good. |
 |
| Probably my favorite episode besides six. |
| Great ep. Preetty sad but liked the depth to Gus' (:3) past. I felt they could've added a bit more to the end though. Somewhat sudden. |
| iunno about you guys, but it seemed to obvious that she was gonna die anyway. TheWestExit said: I really liked seeing the two different remunerations this episode.

So maybe Hei's remuneration is similarly abstract (if he still has one). it making more sense now, the contract doesnt always have to be physical, it can also be mental and such. |
     |
| Well, she did make a rational decision in the end by commiting suicide to prevent Huang from getting targeted by the Syndicate. But it is clear now that contractors do have feelings which really isn't that surprising, but at least Hei finally acknowlegdes it. There's no doubt that the cult leader has influenced his opion on this matter. |

This episode wasn't much good, but the conversation between Arma and Hei was interesting one at least. I can't wait for the plot to come. Amber... |
  |
| Nice episode, I was thinking how strange it would be if Huang actually left with the girl. Next arc seems to have quite some old characters back in the game, now I want to know more about Amber. |
I almost never read discussions after I made my post, if you want to reply PM me or post on my profile page. |

| A very insightful arc on Huang's history. This Syndicate really is huge, you can't really trust anyone... It's no wonder Huang's always so cautious and afraid. I gained a lot of new found respect for him. Though Shihoki's death was pretty sad, it was the one and only way Huang could be saved. At least she came to the conclusion that even as a Contractor, she could truly care about another, and be cared for herself. Much like Hei himself has always been, the conversation he had with the 'Obaba' was excellent and really reflected this. Though, now I wonder and fear if Hei really does have a hidden Renumeration. They didn't show us if he killed her or not either, I hope we get confirmation, or perhaps the Syndicate not going after them is the confirmation itself. Also, the infiltration scene was awesome! Hei, Mao and Huang charging in with gas masks, grenades and who knows what chemicals lol. It was cool seeing the "air pressure" guy back off and let Hei do his thing as well. Was that Wei in the preview? That guy will never learn. BK-201 is a name he'll wish he'd forgotten, I can foresee this. Only 5 more to go! |
 |
| Even though I never cared much for Huang, it was sad to see him lose someone he loves like that. |
