With Darker than Black, this becomes a lot more visible, because they are a lot closer in proximity.
Darker then BLACK is part of English literature now? Rationally speaking its in their interest not to tie in too close to S1 since less viewers or confused viewers equals less profit; and they do have sufficient freedom in the context presented thus far to avoid all but a few details. Shakespeare had his philosophical reasons to do what he did, they have theirs money crouching ones. Of course we're human here so you can ditch logic and believe bones is some messiah company in it out of philosophical reasons, if you want.
