It's honestly baffling to me how this anime has a score of 7.45 as of writing this. Don't let the rating fool you though, it's due to people not having watched gaiden first. (2010 DTB OVA)

✎ Story 7 ✎
Weak point of season two, and it's not even that bad. The problem with the story is that it doesn't really answer a lot of the questions from season 1. It's also no longer following an episodic format. The plot could work as a standalone series, and Hei's redemption arc was really rewarding.

✿ Art 9 ✿
Unique characters with good animation. -1 for reusing some of the ability ... scenes.

♪ Sound 10 ♪
IMO the strong point of Darker than Black. Even though I missed the jazz from season one, the up beat beep bop fight music was interesting enough to make up for it. The way they use music to create emotions is godlike.

☯︎ Character 8 ☯︎
The two main characters had some really good character development, and overall felt realistic given the circumstances. Aside from that there wasn't really any development in the other ones. A lot of mysterious and interesting characters.

🗿 Enjoyment 8 🗿
Tbh, dropped this anime after 4 episodes first time watching it. However after watching DTB Kuro no Keiyakusha Gaiden, a 4 episode OVA filling the gap between the two seasons, it all made sense.

★ Overall 8.4 ★
It's a good anime, if only it had third season to answer all of our questions *pensive*. I personally think having a season long arc instead of an episodic format was a nice change.

Anyways, who's idea was it to use the iMovie "mystery" sound 😭😭
