That way you don't get too confused and understand the basics of contractors & stuff :p |
how is amber able to have feelings for hei even though she is a contractor ?

She may have also had those feelings for Hei before she became a contractor, as they never did mention how any of the characters really met up with each other. At least, not to my knowledge.

In a way, it's a rational decision to love someone like Hei. You find the strongest, most capable mate to breed successful offspring, and besides, it's nice to have someone like Hei on your side, period. |

Yeah, maybe we would never see Li kun again, but season one its very important to know Hei, his motivations, and a lot of facts that build him as a character. I think that yes, you can start watching season 2 witout watch season one, but you can miss some important things and you will miss one amazing anime with great characters, music and animation.

But it's that person's choice to do whatever they want so we should leave it to them to do so. Just trying to be reasonable :] |

Well if you don't watch the first season you won't understand the relationships between the MI6, Japan's intelligence, and the CIA, the background information about contractors, the various powers and prices of the contractors, or even what the main plot of the second season is. It's like saying you can just jump in with the 5th Harry Potter book, technically doable but it's gonna be miserable not knowing ANYTHING.

You shouldn't watch the second season prior to the first. First of all, you may not be up to speed and on par with everything being said, taking some amusement you would've gotten in the show had you watched the first season. And even if one is able to trudge through that, there remains the fact that the second season seems to be taking the show in a different light than the first. By the looks of it, Hei has already been portrayed as the antagonist in the first episode as well as an emotionless contractor in the second. Both of which are not the case.

The question here is "Can you watch this with out watching/finishing the first season?", and in large part is addressed by people who lost interest half way, at the start or didn't like the theme of the first season... can they watch it with out the burden of S1? I say yes... do the problems you mentioned apply to them, nope. Quote:

The attitude of you people to spoilers and apparent chronological order is hypocritical honestly. You don't like spoilers because its apparently always more fun to watch it or find it out later but recommend everyone goes and watch S1 as a must, even though this one is more of a side story. Quote:
Also, I wouldn't call the first season a burden. It had episodic "Contractor of the week" theme with 3 key episodes thrown in to hint to the ending and some cheap links here and there. You then had the filler arcs with no conclusion - who did fatsinger and poet boy work for in the end? - and cheesy filler characters like the detective and gangster. I would say S1 had potential and did nothing with it; lets face it Hei and co. played more the role of the weird 3rd party rather then the protagonist(s). |
