Actually I'm not really the observant type myself, but I guess a class on Literary Criticism hammered into my head the need to look for subtle nuances in whatever it is I'm reading or watching. Hmm, think of the bullet points I compiled as simply added information, yes? It's more useful in that way, I think.
As for Darker than Black's future, in the end we'll just have to see. It's not something one can view via a New Critic's lens... Maybe a Post-Structuralist take would be better for it given the execution of its themes (especially in the second season's abandonment of the Serial structure).

Kinda reminds me of Clannad After Story. I didn't like it then and i don't like it now. Though I have to admit it's nice seeing a happy ending for Suou just like it was for the Okazaki family. Just out of curiosity, Suou's father said something about Shion's clones having a minor difference to the original. Did he ever tell us because I can't remember. Would it apply to the copy world?

We got trolled by BONES. and a serious note though ending can be understood,its just the details that are left out,just like S1.There better be a S3 or something after a cliffhanger like that. Overall its pretty good,although i like S1 better just for the fact that its a little easier to understand. Now for the DTB OVA's.Oh yeah the hazuki/Hei fight + kiss was super awesome/hot.

7 out of 10 from me. Overall, the series was satisfying, but it lacked the spark that was had from season 1. There's a lot of things that are skipped out or just plain difficult to understand because of its vagueness. 12 eps were too few for the whole picture to be presented. Nevertheless, I can't say this was bad at all. There was a fair amount of character development with a few good surprises here and there. July's change especially struck me, and I hope if they make a season 3, he and Suou meet again.

Been holding off on watching the last ep so I finally got around to it. Still need to sit on this one.
On the one hand, it does an okay job as a standalone series - Suou's purpose was explained and she met the end of her journey. On the other hand, DtB as a whole it doesn't do any justice. It's a shame since they did an excellent job with the setting - a world with gates, contractors, "a hero without a name" that chose to save both humans and contractors, and finally one who's seen the future of said world. It sucks that they're axing it when the manga ends and the OVA is released. On a side note, I'm guessing what Misaki "gave up" was Hei. Dammit, BONES. This was Xam'd all over again, wasn't it? |

AAAA!!!! I don't know what is happening in this ending.....
I really hope that Yin, Hei, and Mao can do their old job like in the first season again.... Maybe that won't be happen.... I like how Suou and July live in a new world... but I don't like how Hei and Yin ended like that (just dissapeared cluelessly) |

The final episode was beautiful. I know that it is a strange idea that one contractor created or rather copied the whole world and the one thing different about it is that there are no gates at all - and I admit that I wonder where in the solar system it's supposed to be, because another earth in our solar system would bring chaos and destruction - but I don't care as long as the ending is as romantic, tragic and beautiful as the one I witnessed. I was confused for about a second and then I just witnessed that beautiful thought and I totally liked it and I still like it.

I dunno, the ending may indicate that, but I'd prefer to believe she's not dead. Because I'd prefer to believe that the staff and director wouldn't be so dang cruel to Hei. >.>
He loses Pai, then Amber, then Yin, then Suou, and then loses Yin again? That's subzero cold, man.
