Awesome. Yay for high-res subs.

Just watched the first episode and it looked great, sweet art and I also like the modern feel it has to it. That Porsche looked great lol, interior and exterior :D. The animation looks well done as well.

Great show, can't wait to see more of it. Also I gotta get my hands on that OP song!

i absolutely loved this episode! can't wait for next week's.
loved how there was almost never a slow moment, lee seems to be an awesome character so far.

Darker than Black is one of the few series of this season that I like since the first episode. The story seems really interesting.

I usually don't watch Anime during it's release, so now I am a bit annoyed that I have to wait until I can watch the next one!
It really perked my interest! I can't wait to watch the whole world unravel (you know what I mean?).
I'm glad I decided that I should watch it!
5/5!

Agreed with Cyruz and Zanmato... damn, Porche-girl's glasses were cool too. ^.^ OP and ED were terrific, my only complaint is that this episode felt entirely too short! I'm impatient for the next one. :-p

Decided to try it out since a few friend recommended it. But I have to say I was disappointed since it sounded so great =/ I didn't find all that much intresting things happen in this episode ;x

Seems like it's gonna be good, though the first episode wasn't really enough to tell. Then again, not like there's a possibility of it being bad... Kanno + BONES = win.

I thought it was really good. Certainly lived up to all my expectations.

Many people were expecting it to be a non-stop action kind of thing, so obviously they were dissapointed when it didn't turn out like that. Can't blame when there are series descriptions like the one Wikipedia gives.

ANYWAY, awesome episode, brilliant OP - love Abingdon Boys School, Hei is way badass and I can't wait to see the second episode (I gather from the preview that we find out his contract).

The only thing I was dissapointed with was showing of characters. Mao and Huang were barely seen (Mao moreso, helping that girl escape from the Contractors, and again on the roof in the beginning - Justa flash, but still). I don't even think I remember Huang speaking. Yin didn't get many lines aswell.

But that's another reason to look forward to future episodes, I guess.

Finally got around to watching it! lol

Definitely have to echo what's already been said - really enjoyed the first episode and I'm looking forward to the rest of the season. I can't decide if I want to read up on it and learn more about the story or if I just want to watch it unfold. :)

Wow.

Um, that was a really fantastic and badassed first episode. Seriously. Normally I watch a first episode of something and go "meh. it's okay. let's see if it gets any better." This is the first time I've ever reallyreallyreallyreally loved the first episode of anything. :D

Couldn't help wincing when the Louis was breaking his own fingers though :/

I've had this for a while now. What made me finally watch it was finding out the music is done by Abingdon Boys School, An Cafe, Rie Fu and High and Mighty Color. What a great combination of awesomeness!!!

And I wasnt disappointed. Show's looking good too!

I got a weird question... why does Hei leave the water running when he first enters his apartment?? It doesn't make sense to me... does anybody know why? Or maybe it doesn't really mean anything?

The art is a bit too dull for my taste but the story seems interesting so far.
I was surprised that even the sky was fake. It's actually sad if you think about it that things turn out like this when the government wants to protect its citizens to such an degree.
