I dunno about all that; this series may have a somewhat dark mood, but with the here-to-stay humor elements in DtB, I wouldn't count on dark endings. There are series-es a lot darker than this that end nicely.

Really? You see in DtB there wasn't a single happy ending in any arcs and perhaps not even in the ending. Problems are solved but always at a great cost. Currently it's the same with the second season.
We don't even know if Hei has romantical feelings for Yin...heck even he doesn't know it. And we even less know if she's going to survive. Most probably not as everyone Hei wanted to kill died in the end even if he changed his opinion. |

Plus in Bones' history, we've never gotten any sad/dark endings; on the contrary, they have a history of giving us happy endings. I don't see a perfect ending for DtB of course (or they may give us one after all), but a "Hei and Yin survive and live on together, and Suou lives on too" ending is well within Bones' track record.

Anyways, my point is that there isn't a point in everybody calling death flags and bad endings; I've seen darker than DtB turn out very well (V Gundam is another series that comes to mind), so let's not call the score halfway before the game is over.

No grammar mistakes. The ones he wanted to kill he killed(or at least died) even if later he changed his opinion about it and didn't want to do it. Good example is Amber. He hated her more than the closing hours of his favourite eating place.
But later he forgave her and even wanted her to stay... And DtB wasn't famous for the romantic conclusions. Actually even with secondary characters I only remember one(the yakuza and the doll) who got a somehow happy ending. But well I have nothing against it. Afterall the Yin in the second season seems to became more interesting and have some character. (still the Yin-squee's are similary unjustified as Felli's...what the heck is awesome in the emotionless white-haired "lolies"?) |

Okay then, missing commas.

Amber didn't die some tragic, "Hei Cries all day" death, but rather died peacefully, having made peace with him. She smiled all the way to the end. That's the kind of ending that Bones has a history of making for the good guy main characters. Quote:

Well, actually it was true only from Hei's side. He had countless characters having a crush on him and having his moments with them. Also it had romantic subtheme in some of the arcs too...
But well romance wasn't the main point of the story and it isn't going to be there too. Perhaps one or two pairings might happen...but not surely. |

That's why I surprised even myself for adoring Yin because I don't normally fall for moe characters!

But she was just that. Hell, she still don't have any kind of character yet. She's as good as a plot device for now...though cute maskot is similar in the role.
Perhaps the DVD extras might change my opinion, but Yin didn't shown anything other than her affection to Hei. But we'll see. I bet Yin is now like Bai's replacement for him. |

For Yin lovers such as myself, I will always look back to the scenes where (I think) Yin's character shone and this reinforces my adoration of her and so on and so forth. Unsurprisingly, this would not be the case for the non-Yin lovers. For them these instances would be nothing but trivial, meaningless or as you mentioned the other time, cliche thus equally reinforcing that belief. So uh, I suppose if you keep asking "Why Yin? Why the huge number of following?" I don't think anything constructive about Yin will change your mind except if you choose to do so yourself. I'm guilty for doing this myself, but it's far easier to find fault rather than the other way around. In other words, "we choose what we want to see".
