| And did you guys notice something. Hei kisses at least one broad each season!? that player XD |
     |
| 1- he's alive 2 -he's got his powers back 3 -there's gonna be a new season obviously I'm fucking happy. |
  |
| AHHH! i hated it =.= it made not alot of sence, and yin died and is now a boy? and what happened to hei? T_T AND MAO'S WITH MISUKI?! and july died/reincarnated? ah. i want to erase it out of my memories. season 1 was better than this, 1000x better! now i want to see the OVA's more than ever! T_T |
HiddenDweller said: The power of the awakened Yin is to pull out memories. Shion created a second earth, and the deal he created with Yin was that he will be sent there as well. She didn't kill anyone, she rather sent them to a new world, without gates and a happy life. That was Shion's dream. Yin destroyed the meteor core so that Suou's memories can pass to the second earth. The death of Yin was probably the trigger needed for life on the new world to start, and that's why Hei killed her. He wanted to do it himself (for a reason that will probably be shown in the prequel OVAs), and that's why he stopped Suou. I see.. Now I get it. I love July and Suou in this episode. They made me cry. It was a great ending for Suou, July and the others. I wish Hei and Yin will be alright though. I'm happy with this: I love July in this season.  |
| uuh...ok season 2 ends exactly like season 1 give or take some weird sh!t that had no reason to be there (like Suou...who the hell came up with that annoying character?) Let's see why: showdown at the Gate core and imminent destruction of the world...check Hei used his power at the very last minute to stop the destruction mechanism...check Hei's previous love interest vanishes into another dimension so he can go on...check Kirihara witnesses the weird sh!t happening and lives on to deliver a cryptic "tomorrow is another day" remark...check All in all, I'm more confused than disappointed here. This season should have been about Hei and Yin running away from the Syndicate assassins. Instead we get a show that focuses on all the wrong things.S1 was great and I really cared about what happened. S2 failed in that without actually being a bad anime. And oh, Yin *is* alive because this is the Gate and all wishes come true. See? The upside of lame-ass open-ended episodes. :p |

Yukari_Hiwada said: Thanks for the awesome info. This makes total sense. Atleast we can be sure of season 3 even if it comes out after a million yrs.stuopidget from AnimeSuki mentioned this about the person who sucked souls at the end: Izanami and Izanagi fused to form that "new" being, which basically can suck the soul of everyone (John Smith was one of them); besides physical appearances, I believe this new being to be completely different from Yin or Shion. I think it is the disaster that was predicted by Amber in the Mitaka documents, because it is a walking, living death entity. If going by mythology, this would be カグツチ, who killed Izanami/Yin when giving birth, but here Izanagi/Shion died instead; カグツチ also marks the end of creation and marks beginning of death, which fits well with what is shown. I think it really makes sense. Still dont get the birth thing though. Yin did die even shion . Basically no one could decipher Ambers message. |

| Shion wants to see the moon ٩(๏_๏)۶ And what'd they do to Yin? ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／ I lol every time I see Hazuki's remuneration btw ⊂( ﾟヮﾟ)⊃ Wat? Shizume killed Youko? ಠ_ಠ Yin! (ﾟ⊿ﾟ) Woah, it's not.. The moon, but .. Another Earth? (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮 Shion looks completely out of it ┐(-｡ｰ')┌ Yin! ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ Lol the Magician's back ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ Althought that was a pretty short visit ¯(°_o)/¯ And now, Izanagi met Izanami. ٩(๏_๏)۶ Woah Shion grew old ಠ_ಠ Yin! ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ Suou! What are you trying to do!? (＃ﾟДﾟ) The 'Core' broke ┐（￣ー￣）┌ Too bad for her ◕ ◡ ◕ No, get away from Hei, stupid Suou! ヽ(ｏ`皿′ｏ)ﾉ Oh well, a lie before death's ojay I guess ಠ_ಠ All that's left is Hei and Yin~ But.. Such a thing.. щ(ﾟДﾟщ) And wth is up with Hei's star? ٩(̾●̮̮̃̾•̃̾)۶ ... WHAT!? What the eff is this shit? (￣Д￣) Suou, her dad, and her mom, alive again? What the heck were Bones thinking? ٩(͡๏̯͡๏)۶ Oh and Hazuki won ʘ‿ʘ Yin! （‐＾▽＾‐） But with short hair? ಠ_ಠ But.. Wth is up with this ending? ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ They destroyed the whole series ｡･ﾟ･(ﾉД`)･ﾟ･｡ I just hope the OVA's can give DtB back it's former glory （´・ω・｀） Can't even rate this higher than 7 thanks to this ending, down from 9 (¬_¬) Now then.. OVA's.. Do Not Fail! (屮ﾟДﾟ)屮 If they deliver a good complement, the rating might get a little higher, like.. 8 or something, I'm afraid it won't be able to reach up to 9, even less 10 D: And even if it's a very slim chance, I sure want a season 3 to follow up on this one ＼| ￣ヘ￣|／ |

| This season was ok. 9/10 from me Cya next season. |

| Pop a couple of Rupies and this makes sense. Great series but lacked the spark that made S1 sparkle. 7/10 |
HiddenDweller said: The season is great and I don't get your WTFs about it. Watch the subs. The power of the awakened Yin is to pull out memories. Not only memories but life it self I would say. HiddenDweller said: Shion created a second earth, and the deal he created with Yin was that he will be sent there as well. She didn't kill anyone, she rather sent them to a new world, without gates and a happy life. That was Shion's dream. Yin destroyed the meteor core so that Suou's memories can pass to the second earth. Now why would Suou's memories be stuck in a meteor? The only way to do a copy of earth is where my theory stands: multiple copies of Shion to use up power after power until he would die then use another copy. HiddenDweller said: Yeah, Hei wanted to get something off that Amber said....he probably knew all this...Amber was with him at the end of season 1The death of Yin was probably the trigger needed for life on the new world to start, and that's why Hei killed her. He wanted to do it himself (for a reason that will probably be shown in the prequel OVAs), and that's why he stopped Suou. Linalee-Stratos said: HiddenDweller said: Shion created a second earth, and the deal he created with Yin was that he will be sent there as well.

He wanted to do it himself (for a reason that will probably be shown in the prequel OVAs), and that's why he stopped Suou. Linalee-Stratos said: Wow this makes total sense. Logically it makes no sense if someone loves that person. Hei would have to live with Yin in the new world and the old world is nothing but being destroyed. francismeunier said: tokki said: Impossible, Shion would never be able to do that unless copy after copy of shion is made then used up.Did Shion create a NEW EARTH or something? Basically replicated everyone and their copies with new memories in the new word? Linalee-Stratos said: If it did not look like Yin killed Shion then did he grow old like his vitality was absorbed?Its not impossible because it didnt look like Yin killed Shion. "death of Yin" *he he he* , this is just funny because they cant kill Yin . Yin cannot die.Yin cant die . Ofcourse Yin cant die. Yin is not dead. Yin is alive. Yin.......... So everyone gets a happy ending except Yin and Hei . After knowing this am i supposed to keep on living. f*** After knowing Yin was killed by Hei how am I supposed to have things logically/emotionally digested as someone that loves someone kills them because of x reason that was necessary. Yukari_Hiwada said: I see.. Now I get it. I love July and Suou in this episode. They made me cry. It was a great ending for Suou, July and the others. I wish Hei and Yin will be alright though. stuopidget said: from AnimeSuki mentioned this about the person who sucked souls at the end: So some people say it sucks memories and other say souls. Then it's both? stuopidget said: Izanami and Izanagi fused to form that "new" being, which basically can suck the soul of everyone (John Smith was one of them); besides physical appearances, They fused? How did they do that? Logically only DNA mutation could have done it. stuopidget said: Now that makes more sense. I believe this new being to be completely different from Yin or Shion. I think it is the disaster that was predicted by Amber in the Mitaka documents, because it is a walking, living death entity. stuopidget said: Not only does it fit with this show but a recent look at Japanese news says that it is even a problem of their society. I am getting mass news from Japan from French sources and it points out to a lot of things in anime let's just say. Logically the birth decline. If going by mythology, this would be カグツチ, who killed Izanami/Yin when giving birth, but here Izanagi/Shion died instead; カグツチ also marks the end of creation and marks beginning of death, which fits well with what is shown. traen said: So, ETA to season three where Amber comes back from the future or that alternate dimension and finally hooks up with Hei? That would be interesting to see. traen said: July and Suou seem to be dead and on the copy world. (And apparently November as well. Nice pic from 2chan.) November is hard to believe. He never died by the hands of Yin at all. How in the world did all the humans get there unless each of them were contractors. traen said: Oreille is probably from the future, given her strange get-up, car, and overall knowledge of events. She might be but it would be interesting to see the proof. Can those twin dolls be also from the future? Dolls might be hard to make as twins....advace genetic engineering? traen said: Misaki suddenly turned hot, and what she says kind of proves that the message from Amber was about the future and probably from the future as well--that's what's hinted, right? That I agree with and Misaki sure looks hotter with her new clothing. traen said: Yin's deal with Shion was probably for that copy-body in white that we see; the Black Yin is (presumed) dead from the Izanami/Izanagi event, as well as Shion, either from the force of copying a new world or from the encounter itself. That can be logically possible but then are the other Yins similar in memories to that black Yin? traen said: What's left from that final encounter between the two is the male Yin that eats souls. No real proof that Hei has his powers again, but season 3 would be awfully boring if he didn't so that's probably true as well. Hei must have had his powers back with his star shinning a lot more than usual. traen said: But lol, where the fuck is Bai? For that matter, where's everybody we saw at that final gate flash at the end of season 1? An alternate dimension beyond the fake sky? Honestly, season needed more Amber. Entertaining, though, 8/10. Honestly and logically a lot of people if they were saved would mean that Yin would have to use Hei's memories to access copy information to copy those people because Hei encountered them. traen said: Time for Hei to become what you say indeed. EDIT: Wait a sec. If that really was November, chances are Amber and the rest of the dead folks we saw at the Gate in S1 end are in the new world as well. FUCK. Time for Hei to become an astronaut or planewalker. You cannot deny Spock's logic...it is universal! |

|
| I'm glad they left it open at the ending... makes the possibility of another season the much more. |
| Lots of questions unanswered resulting in possible sequel.... check Close to zero character development... check Story and characters as thick as a4 paper... check Bones failing yet again with anything beside audio/visuals.... check Overall, nice no-brainer series 7/10 |
"There is a road in the hearts of all of us, hidden and seldom traveled, which leads to an unknown, secret place." |
| Well an overall happy ending with enough of an open ended ending that it leaves the next season a possiblity =], but why the two yins at the end =O? I also wonder about who the boy at the end is. But I guess all this or some of it at least will be answered next season if there is one. |
KingDeadKira said: They did not ruin it? Let's see.....=>2 earths? Multiple Yins? Suou being dead but not really? A flying car like in Back To The Future? Shion being used and used?

| I don't know... First of all, I had to read some comments here to understand what was going on: I hate series that don't give you enough hints but just pop out some stupid deus ex machina and voila. But this happened in the first season too (although at a different degree), so I expected it. What bothered me the most was the feel you get from the series: it's totally different from the first season! We get some new characters, but none of them is "spiritually tense" as ANY of the contractors from the first season. They just took all the characters who didn't die from the first season, added some random cardboard characters and a plot made of twists only. And don't tell me that the new characters were good: they were uninteresting and with almost no depth. Where's the noir feel that made DtB so moving, so good? It's not that bad per se: it's bad as a sequel of DtB. This feels like a spin-off: the feel is wrong, the setting is awkward, the plot seems badly sewed and all the new characters die. I hope the continuum will settle a bit with the OVAs. Until then, this is a 7/10, because as I stated it's not that bad, still it's far away from its prequel. |
| Although many questions still remain unanswered, I think this Ending is greater than what I had expected. I was afraid like hell that Hei would die, thank god it doesn't happen! And this Ending isn't so tragic either (at least the main characters are still alive and kicking, whether they are illusions or copies or whatever)... ... ... ... ... I take my words back. I want a Season 3 right now. WTF has happened to Hei and Yin? BONES, I know you have done a great job, thank you very much. But you know what, this SS is way too short and it doesn't make me feel satisfied one bit. I want more!!! T_T |
 |
| Shion copied the planet ... Shion copied yin.. That copy is a boy and still taking contractors soul or whatever... Misaki became stylish syndicate member (why now?)... This syndicate is different and i didnt get what the hell they're doing... In the new world Shion is a boring happy ordinary girl (hate her much more now)... July is...yeah yeah he must be happy.good kid... New gate is opened (where?middle east?) bla bla bla..Ok i accept them even though i didnt understand how the hell all these happened..but just at least show what happened to Hei and Yin.. The thing that made most disgusted in whole series is Misaki's "I know he's alive bla bla.." crap about Hei They didnt answer anything at all =_= |

| That was terrible ending. It`s like the whole thing was to prepare us for season 3, or worse - like a longer ark then the 2 eps ones from the season 1. I`m not sure that I want a continuation - it can go only down :? |
| I wont accept this annoying loli story, Pinker than Pink: Ryuusei no Gemini with Hei as side character as a sequel to Darker than Black. As a stand-alone title it deserves 5/10 for massive plotholes, but for what the authors have done to awesome action-adventure title with deep characters I give it 2/10. (Call, me a troll or whatever you like, this title is the biggest dissapointment I've ever had in anime) |

Ximinez said: I wont accept this annoying loli story, Pinker than Pink: Ryuusei no Gemini So, whats so bad about pink? :) |
[right] |
| July hugged Suou! ...and that's about the only thing that's completely clear for me xD So: Hei lied to Suou about being together forever and had a nice lolicon moment with her. Shion basically created an alternate Earth, on which July, Suou and her family still live, but there's no Hei nor Shion. Genma killed Youko because he sided with CIA against Kirihara and the rest. Hazuki paid him back in a Missed Moment of Awesome fight, which was not shown to us. Kirihara is still a virgin and the creepy kid killing CIA dudes at the end is what? Yin and Shion's lovechild? Lol. 1st season > Gemini, easily. Although I enjoyed my Magician randomly coming back. (I knew he's not totally dead) Also, with the Meteor breaking, and BK-201 star being back, Hei's contractor abilities are also back right? |
