Sure they should be. I noticed them too. It was great.Originally Posted by Archangel
Rock-fellow checking her out for the entire season while thinking he was a guy was hilarious. Notice that he said he'll take care of her until hair starts to grow.
That, fellow gotwooters, is a pedophile.
The cliffhanger scene did an alright job. I can't remember the last time Hei had a surprised look on his face like that (though he usually wears a mask on missions).
If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
I kinda missed the rest of the scene od noticing the shorts as well...
Anyway... killing Suou's father just like that felt a little meh
I felt somewhat cheated when the rock contractor turned out to be alive
How the hell did that happen? A superficial bullet wound to the middle of the forehead??
Her bullet did take out the piece of rock near his eye without damaging the eye itself. There was even a slit (hence weakness?) there because of the eyeslit.
If you were then to assume that structural integrity of the surrounding area was adversely effected by the eyepiece damage, then it would be fair to say that a shot to the head would do more than simply take the armour off.
The degree of structural integrity compromise would reflect thd amount of damage he took.
I believe this is the first time Suou's remuneration wasn't a crane, but a star.

Who cares about all that crap? Main thing is Hei vs the contractor!
It was careless of Hei to get surprised by blade girl's opening attack, but then again, I can't blame him since the last time they met she was unfocused and he was able to take her out easily. I guess this will be a fight with both of them at their peak physically. It is too bad Hei does not have his powers.
Peace.

The finale turned out to be another "what the hell was that all about" one. I'm not even going to begin pointing out what holes need to be filled, since you couldn't get through this episode without tripping all over them anyway.
Unlike the first series, this had an overarching story the entire time, but ended up being quite...lackluster, so to speak. The significance of the whole Izanami meets Izanagi thing ended up being really ambiguous, while the Shion side of things seemed to just be the creation of a new Earth for Suou.
Overall it wasn't bad (action and production quality were quite good), but it wasn't the Darker than Black sequel I was hoping for.
The OVAs however...bring them on.

I found myself rather disappointed about the insignificance of all the events prior to this. Doing a whole Copy Earth is a cop out but what bothered me more is where it exists. Opposite the real Earth in orbit around the sun? Judging from the telescope that Suou was looking through, they have real stars unlike the old Earth. Orion was pretty easy to recognize. Eventually the Copy Earth will find Old Earth.
Everything just gets wiped clean, and the only real development in the whole series was Misaki, Mao, and Golgo 13 switching sides as America sweeps in (yay more anti-Americanism!) to become the new Syndicate.
They opted to leave out everything that happens with Hei and Yin.
There were some bright moments. Hazuki getting her revenge on the pervert was nice, and it really made sense that he was the one to needlessly torture Youko when he put her through the questionably lethal ME Squeezer (since it is usually used on dead bodies). I also really liked Mao freaking out when he discovered he was on Misaki's head all of a sudden.
While I certainly enjoyed this series, and allowed for plenty of good speculation, it did not really end up as fulfilling or have a nice climax like the first series did. That and I hate Reset Endings. Always have, always will.
Err so you are saying Shion copied everyone on Earth!? And that room that had all the memories were all the memories of all the living creatures on this planet and that after Shion created copies of everyone on the new Earth...they all got their memories there?
Yes. That is exactly what appeared to have happened.
Memory erasing/brainwashing probably exists in our own Contractor-less world already, just that we don't know about it.
As for why care about keeping it a secret?
a) so as to not freak out the general public
b) so murders can be passed off as accidents.

Wtf did i just watch? I got flashbacks from evangelion's finale...
Like many others it's not that i disliked this second season but that i was expecting much more seeing how fantastic the first one was
I wouldn't call this a reset ending though, not entirely anyway. And i guess that if the blurays bring enough money to the pot there are still a few sequel possibilities out of this mess...
eh?.......
That sums it all. But unlike the above posters, who never like anything, I did like the whole series
The above poster can kiss my ass <3
And like i said i did overall enjoy the series, i was simply expecting more of it. What i can clearly say i disliked was this ending, i hate presumptuous finales that don't make a lick of sense
Agreed. It's not that the series was bad, or even that the ending was bad, it was just disappointing. I expected a few questions answered, and instead they gave us answers to questions that were never asked.
It tried to be a clever ending, and it failed at that. I never really felt like this series had a climax, not in the same way that Amber's War did in the first. The tension just wasn't there.
The last scene with Misaki made up for whatever the rest of the series lacked.
Yeah because... she showed up. Who needs finales to make sense when Misaki shows up
My thoughts exactly.
I really dont understand what the heck happened. Alternate reality?!
