| From ANN: ANN: There's a big shift between seasons of Darker than Black. I find that people have reacted very strongly—either positive or negative—to the shift. I wanted to ask what the thinking was behind the big tone and story changes between Darker than Black 1 and 2? Okumura : One thing that came up was "why make something the same?" Why make something similar in the continuation? Let's do something different. In the first season, there were quite a few things that could be difficult to understand. So kind of a change of tone would be good, maybe the protagonist in the first one was a bit too much of the rough, working guy. So why don't we put something like a little cute girl at the center of season 2, just something different. Another reason for this is that for audiences who got to know Darker than Black from season 2 first, we wanted to make something that would make them interested in watching season 1. You know, they hadn't seen season 1 anyway, so why not learn about it by watching season 2 with this new protagonist? http://www.animenewsnetwork.cc/feature/2017-08-09/interview-tensai-okamura/.119921 |

| Strange when you have something that works and gets enough attention to gain a sequel to want to change it from what made it popular. Watching season 2 is a struggle for me. |
