| Only 12? That sucks... |
 |
| Yeah, only 12 episodes? That's a bummer. |
| huh..what?..what? whattttt????? |
 |
| Just 12 episodes?!? awww.... |
| i was so hoping for another 25 epi season. |
| FUCK YES! |
 |
| しまった、そうのかい？ |
 |
| 12 only!? and extra episodes on DVD/Blu-ray only!? this sucks~ ¬¬ |
 |
| This is very disappointing news.... |
| Eeeh only 12? ;___; |
 |
| Well, at least now we know. As much of a let down as this is, when you think about it, the first show is technically 13 episodes anyway since the two part story arcs combined round out at an hour, so... But hey, it's better then nothing, and with FMA Brotherhood not doing so well apperently I don't think they have a whole lot of money to spare. |
 |
| That's such a shame, I was expecting a 25 episode series again. Oh well, a smaller amount of Darker than Black is better than no Darker than Black ♥ |
  |
| Only 12?? I want 25 eps again :( |
 |
| 12 is indeed a disappointing number in this case. |

| 12?! DTB, with its storyline, can't possibly be the same with that few episodes. Oh well, I guess I should stop complaining and wait and see what happens. |
 Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol. |
| Maybe it'll have a frantic pace instead, making it even more awesome. |
| That's a lot of DVD-only episodes, though I guess it makes sense if they would be a distraction to the main storyline. Twelve episodes better mean no fillers. |

| I guess this means Gai Kurasawa will be on DVD episodes only. What a drag. |
| Damn my guess was off by 1 episode... I thought there would be 13 ... |

| Well this is disappointing but I mean it makes sense, instead of having two episode arc there just going to run through a continuous story? Well if the pace is faster I suppose that could be better though it could also been done very poorly as well so I guess we'll just have to wait and see, not much longer anyway. |
| Just 12 episode is dissapointing.. even 25 episode im still not get enough for it.. |
| I am angry about the small episode count, but I am really excited about these DVD only eps. |
| Although I'm disappointed we only get to see Hei and co. for 12 episodes, I'm sure the production team knows what they're doing. :) I won't complain. It probably wouldn't have turned out well if it was any longer. Baccano! was only 13 eps (not counting the 3 DVD-only eps) and I absolutely adored that series. I'll just think of this season as one long arc because that's essentially what it is. As for the 4 extra episodes, will those be an animation of the currently running manga? It seems like they will be. Either way, I'll look forward to those too. |

| I doubt there will be any filler this time. I'm hoping for something incredibly epic this time around. |
| 12 episodes tv show + 4 OVA = 16 I think that's a fair amount :) |

x0utmyheart said: PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO it pretty much shows that hei/yin had a "relationship" or something along the lines.... http://www.d-black.net/gallary/pv02.html ALSO, can anyone help me download it, please and thank you? http://www.fansub.tv/ go there Previwe was aaaawesome!! But it made me a little sad..poor Yin..Hei with short hair and without beard is the best. I think it's better being short than being unnecessarilly long and boring.If they answer the questions left in the first season than it's okay.. |
 |
| good to see 4 more eps to help fill the story |
adamantine said: Twelve episodes better mean no fillers. quite agree, but with this 4 episode becoming an OVA i guess dtb will be no longer a great success as the first again |
Romeodeaths said: 12 episodes tv show + 4 OVA = 16 I think that's a fair amount :) +1 I don't care if it is Hei X Yin filler <3 |
 |
| No wonder why there seems to be a gap between the first season and the current season, the creators have already decided to make some ova. |
 |
| ugh Hei x Yin -_- There was absolutely nothing indicating in the first season that the had even the slightest romantic feelings for each other...and now there's all this. I bet BONES is only doing this because it's a popular pairing...Amber x Hei ftw |
| I am liking the OVA so far but why couldn't they have done this inbetween S1 and S2? It would have made everything so much more enjoyable - plus I think it would have created a lot of anticipation for S2 and gotten them more viewers thus more money. I am really not liking what BONES is doing but I guess everyone fucks up sometimes. The plot is another thing entirely.. One last thing to bitch about before I go.. why is it series like this are always short? (S1 25ep, S2 12ep, come on.. S2 isn't even half of S1!) yet there are pretty crappy Shounen out there that are easily 100+ episodes? The obvious reason is that it doesn't have shitty writing so there is only so much you can expect from the writers, but I mean.. still.. makes me sad. |
