Hm, I was going to stay up to watch the latest of this, but after reading the various impressions on this episode... I think I'm not in so much of a hurry to watch it after all.
Spoiler for unfounded opinion:
But let us only make judgements after seeing the actual thing... me, though, I'm going to sleep first.

Just out of curiosity has anyone here heard the fact that the series is going to adapted into a manga wich will be published in Monthly Asuka (a magazine that has a majority of mangas wich are based off of, or are spinoffs of animes i.e Neon Genisis, Code Geass, CowboyBeBop)? If the manga series were adapted by Yūji Iwahara the series orginal charcter designer (who himself has published a number of short enthralling mystery/sci-fi mangas similar to darker than black) i would defentily read it. i would suggest reading his largest series 'King of thorns' first if you are intrested here is a link to it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibara_no_%C5%8C.
I also recomend his new series Nekton while not as dark as his other works and it is more similar to his slightly cutesy first work 'Chikyu Misaki' it still think it's a great read. One thing i love about this series and what attracted me to it in the first place is his charcter designs wich are consitant to his orginal designs as you could see the Darker than black charcters apearing in his mangas. |

Therefore the two stories were intricately intertwined.

Episode 9 was alright.
Genga quality slipped here and there, the Chinese were painfully stereotypical and the plot was predictable, but had lots of laughs. Let's just say that it was worse than your usual BONES episode, but not that bad. The plot goes like this. Spoiler for episode 9:
The story is laughably predictable, but seeing Hei blush was funny. Overall, it was a mediocre episode, but it wasn't at boring as the last two. |

I thought 6 wasn't really that well executed and at times turned too melodramatic... 7-8 had actual good animation, real noir yet laid-back mood and probably even the OST was cooler in it. 1-2 were nicely low-key and dark yet not really "let's be gritty and shocking" like 3-6.

Wow eps 9 was pretty good, I don't know why you would say it's just ok. The quality was top notch too. The arc is pretty interesting and I can't wait for the next eps. One thing I can't seem to figure out is if this arc takes place before or after Misaki met Hei in eps 2.
BTW, the eps 7-8 were crap. |

I think 7 and 8 was more about Mao and some insight into the contractor powers. If a contractor loosing his body can mean that they no longer need to remunerate, does that mean they regain their humanity too?
I can understand why Mao still works for the Syndicate even if he did, since he is tied into their network. I suppose he could find a dolphin or whale to hop into if he did want to break away.
