Nice stuff for Volume 5. Does the Extra OST have some music that the regular one doesn't have?

[darktruth]

Yeah it does. It's actually the OST for the Gaiden OVAs but contains music that didn't make the official OST for Ryuusei no Gemini as well. The one example I can think of off the top of my head is the music played in episode 4 where Hei is getting Suou to do some sort of belly dance to improve her fighting technique.

Does anyone know if they are planning to make any dakimakuras from this series? I would love a Suou one if they ever will...

Received volume 7 limited edition DVD today. There's footage of the special event held in Tokyo back in April on this DVD running for 79 minutes. Haven't checked out what the special event is yet but will do it later tonight. (It was the special event where raffle tickets were placed in the first press volumes 1 & 2 of the series where they randomly drawed out a number for a lucky winner to attend)

Looks like were getting season 2 licensed, but with a unappreciative cost.

So I just watched the special event and it was an event where the seiyuus for Hei, Yin, Suou, Genma, August 7th, Mao & Mina appeared on stage together for various segments. They talked about each seiyuu's favourite scene, photos of the locations depicted in the anime, had short stories acted out on stage, August 7th interviewing them and a live music performance of the Gaiden OVAs ending theme "Darker Than Black".

There were 3 short stories acted out on stage where they just used their voices to act out the scenes while reading from a script.

Spoiler for Short Story 1:

The first involved Hei, Suou and Mao where Mao is telling Suou about his days as a cat and a human. He reminisces about a heavily pregnant woman he met in Ikebukuro but suddenly stops telling about it because it might cause some trouble despite Suou wanting to know more, so he decides to change the subject asking Hei if dinner is ready when Hei tells him he just ate dinner.

Suou tells him he's gonna get fat if he keeps eating but Mao tells her he can keep eating since Hei's cooking is delicious. Suou gets jealous saying her cooking isn't that bad to which Hei asks "are you serious?". She then says her cooking is from the heart and Hei reminds her that contractors have no heart. Mao then says he used to be a cat being all nostalgic and Suou gets surprised by this. She asks him when did he become a squirrel but Mao begins to hesitate, Hei also wants to know since he doesn't know when Mao transferred his mind into a squirrel's body.

Suou suddenly remembers that Mao is the squirrel that flew into her bathtub and grabbed onto her chest in episode 1. Hei asks Mao if that's true but he ask them to give him a break. She tells Mao he's a pervert and he is shocked. He asks Hei to help him out but Hei is stunned saying he has not heard this before. Mao continues to proclaim his innocence but realises they're just staring at him.

Spoiler for Short Story 2:

Genma is mumbling to his usual self wanting to meet "honey/kawaii-chan" when Mina walks in and asks what he ate for lunch. Genma suspects that Mina's remuneration must be coming up asking if she has to kiss him to which Mina angrily tells him not to call it that. He gets cocky saying how many times she's kissed him and Mina says it's because of her remuneration that she does it otherwise who would wanna kiss him.

Meanwhile, August 7th appears but the other two pay no attention to him and continue to argue until he shouts "LADIES & GENTLEMAN!' and telling Genma how long has he not been aware of his presence. Mina asks Genma why August 7th seems like a colleague of his deciding that he must also be another pervert but August 7th makes it clear that he has no relationship with either of the two saying he's just a magician and has something he wants them to hear.

Mina asks what does he know but August 7th just mumbles something random and Genma makes comment that makes Mina to draw out her sword and attack August 7th, nearly cutting Genma instead. He tells her to watch where she's attacking but she says "shut up pervert! Get out of my way! I'm gonna look for him" August 7th sees that she wants to fight but says now is not the time and performs a disappearing act.

After he is gone, Genma remembers what he and Mina were talking about earlier and sees that Mina's remuneration is starting up. He asks her to give him a break but she says she can't help it since she was reckless and used her powers against August 7th, she tells him she'll kill him if he tells anyone even a little bit about this before giving him a kiss and gagging right after.

Spoiler for Short Story 3:

Yin's split personality truly comes alive in this one lol.

Yin: "Hei"
Hei: "Yin? Are you awake? Everything's alright. I'll be here."
Yin: "Hei, I don't want to be separated from you"
Hei: "We'll be together. Always."
Yin: "Liar"
Hei: "I'm not lying."
Yin: *in an angry bitchy voice* "Then what the hell is your relationship with that red-headed girl?"
Hei: *shocked* "Yin? What are you talking about?"
Yin: "Answer me!"
Hei: "Suou is just following me to get information"
Yin" "That sure doesn't look like it to me...
Hei: "What?-"
Yin: "-also, what is this talk of you being with her forever?!"
Hei: "T-that is...how did you know about that?"
Yin: "Don't think I don't know anything!"
Hei: "Yin?!"
Yin: *reverting back to normal gentle voice* "What's wrong Hei?"
Hei: "Seems like you were someone else before"
Yin: "Did I say something?"
Hei: "You don't remember?"
Yin: "I don't know"
Hei: "It's okay, don't worry about it"
Yin: "Hei"

Yin: *back to the angry bitchy voice* "By the way, what do you think about that detective girl Hei?"
Hei: "How did you hear about that?"
Yin: "Who cares, just answer me!"
Hei: "What's wrong with you Yin? Are you feeling tired?"
Yin: "Are you dodging the question?"
Hei: "Uh-I just happen to always bump into her in the middle of something"
Yin: "Didn't both of you ate lunch together and gaze at each other for a long time?
Hei: "How do you even know about all these?"
Yin: "I have a very long doll network"
Hei: "Well we certainly did go and eat together and hang out in the city at night but you're talking about season 1!"
Yin: "Is that so?"
Hei: "Yin, you don't have to worry about anything, believe me!"
Yin: *reverting back to gentle voice* "What did I just say before? Hei?"
Hei: "You don't remember again?"
Yin: "Did I say something again?"
Hei: "It's okay if you don't remember"
Yin: "Why?"
Hei: "It's alright, don't worry about it. No, please forget everything"
Yin: "Okay"
Hei: "It's okay, I'll protect you. I won't ever leave you alone"
Yin: "Hei"

And they DO have a Mao plushi in his squirrel form! Too bad it seems like it was only a special gift to Ikuya Sawaki for his role as Mao. I wish they actually did sell plushies of both his cat and squirrel form as official merchandise then I would definitely buy it.
