| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was rather interesting episode about the old man playing the violin. I particularly liked his flashback of his past.=>  I did not particularly understand why would he caught blood at the end.....was it pills or his own health.....? |

The point of the episode was that he was a spy as well as a musician. He failed, and killed himself at the end. |
| Russian this time? HIMEKA's ED was good. |

| Loved the second episode very much! Now we know the main characters better. And I can say that their Russian (I'm from Russia myself) is far better than Mandarin from the previous episode =) |
| Since I cant at all read japanese, its hard to track anime with japanese subtitles, but this episode was rather on the slower side, didnt get my attention. will wait for [rumbel] though and only then will rate it. on a side note, yukina is beautiful :) |

| Well, I think it's quite hard to follow a series in a language one doesn't understand and it becomes virtually impossible when it relies on listening/reading as much, if not more, as watching. I thought the episode was quite compelling, but it started out a bit slow and I found Fuuran to be a bit annoying and cliché as the sqeaky side character...if she's not developed beyond that I would be a bit dissappointed. The story this time was typicall spy-stuff...it was almost like reading a 1950's novel. So I assume they will follow the uncovering of the secret agenda of the Japanese military unit that Yukina's brother seems to have been involved in and Sakurai seems to have some personal goal involving the secret powers of the group. I still wonder how exactly the clock and the powers are connected...the opening hints to a deeper conncetion I think |

| The subs are taking way longer than usual. :( |
| Sorry for spamming this thread up but... where the hell are subs? This is taking way too long! /end rant. *leaves before someone screams at me to go sub it myself if I want subs so badly* |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |

| None sub group care about handicaped darker than black |
 |
| We are just two episodes in. Saying that it is handicaped <whatever anime> is too soon, especially since the plot here has yet to start. |
 |
| I actually loved it, that's the only reason i posted here. On the other hand, I prefer to say it's retared and be surprised later |
|
| So....are subs out or what? :( Or do the sub groups want to see us b'awww for fun. |

I don't know any group that does Chinese subs. Simply find [DmxF][动漫先锋字幕组][闪光的夜袭][02] on google. DmxF does a lot of projects by the way. You can try their site (need to register): http://www.dmxf.com/ Chinese subs are truly the FASTEST. They often get out before some of the raws. So you can always consider that alternative if the English ones are slow. |

| Finally, the sub is out. I like the op. I 'm thinking that this season is turning out to be pretty damn decent if not great. |
    |
| I was almost starting to lose hope as to whether or not subs would ever come out.. Luckily, I didn't lose hope just yet : > Oh right, MUCC lol xD Telepathy. Is convenient. Somewhat interested in whoever it is who's connected to Aoi, who died in the past. What's more, anime + violins are usually a horrible combination, as are they still. Oh right, HIMEKA~ : 3 Anyway, them interesting powers are still interesting, kthnxbai |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| The episode was quite good however I have to check out a lot of things to fully understand the settings...still I'm a little confused, my bad. I loved the ED song, Himeka always amaze me, it's so touching I almost cried...what's wrong with me? :P Next time maybe we got to know a little more about Yukina's brother, I wanna see it already~ |
 |
| The russian was great. Cool episode but a little slow for my tastes. |
 |
szugioh said: I 'm thinking that this season is turning out to be pretty damn decent if not great. Totally. -I'm still not getting how watch dude's power exactly works, all I know is that it looks cool. And it's interesting that they were able to cover three of the four agents' backstories in one episode (though I think we'll most likely see more). Teleportation is awesome. -Why is anything with a violin in a non-music always involve something bad happening? |
 |
| Finally, subs! So the association that Firo Aoi belongs to recruits people with powers? Kind of interesting, hope we get an explanation also about how they get their powers. Their Russian is much better than their Mandarin. The music was also good. Curious about Yukina's brother now. Needs more explanation but it's interesting... 4/5 |
 |
| Urgh... everytime the episode mentioned the Kwantung Army, my insides squirm (my grandmother's family is from Northeastern China, and they suffered a lot under the Kwantung Army's rule). Other than that, this was a pretty slow but decent episode. I'm loving the ending song. |
Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| This was good. I expected a bit more action though... |
 |
| A secret code in the music. Unbelievable. Well, whatever, I wasn't planning to take the show seriously in the first place. I'm glad they're using that awesome song for the previews. |
| About damn time, subbers. =_= Anyway, not a bad episode, but it felt kind of... um... uninteresting, for want of a better word. Also, does anyone else see this becoming a Cowboy Bebop style of show? |
Also, does anyone else see this becoming a Cowboy Bebop style of show? This one has a greater plot it seems. The episode showed that the girl's brother is an important part of the story and that the next episode will continue on it, tough it will probably have its own mini-story as well. |

I wouldn't say greater, but more focus on it than being completely episodic. (Bar the backstory about Julia and Vicious, but hey.) |
| Finally subs XD, loved the op, the Russian was pulled off really well. |
| Great episode, felt bad for what happened to the musician. Nice to see some backstories to the characters, now if they only could explain more about the powers (would not want it to end up like DtB where the subject is only touched upon and left hanging in the air....) |
| Huh. It was genuinely good episode. How about that. |
|
| Very enjoyable episode. I liked the small flashbacks from all the characters all the music stuff was nice too. OP and ED animation are nothing special, but I like the musics. |

hikky said: I found this episode dreadfully unengaging... I understand how you feel, this show seems to be quite complex and the themes, background and characters aren't properly introduced for now, which make it really confusing and difficult to watch. At the same time, I also feel there's something more to it and there will definitely be some good developments, so that's why I'm still watching it. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| The violinist was actually voice-acted by a real Russian, Aleksej Rachubo, that's why it was good :-p Aoi's Russian, on the other hand... hahahaa... at least Daisuke Namikawa did it better than Mandarin. |
| I wonder why most of the sub groups are so late with this. I'm really liking this series. Spies with powers + 1920 = awesome :) |

It's not 100% self-explanatory, but it's hardly alienating. As for the characters, they're being developed as it goes along, much like Darker Than Black. As of episode 3, the only major character we don't have any real info on is Natsume. I really can't see how you're so lost here. |
| Awesome opening, and I like the use of violins. |

| Woohoo, subs are out! Thanks, subbers :D I've come to the conclusion that I love both the OP and the ED. Anyway, I'm liking this show so far. The music in this episode was beautiful x3 szugioh said: I 'm thinking that this season is turning out to be pretty damn decent if not great. I know o.o |

| What the hell did I just watch? I'm really confused. Someone care to explain? |

Japanese James Bonds that are the X-Men who are in tumultuous Shanghai speaking crappy Mandarin (but excellent Russian) trying to stop a Jewish violinist from giving away government secrets with the power of music. That should have done it. :P |
