Darker Than Black II OAD - Discuss your expectation, speculation, etc..

[hei]

Well... I don't know whether we can call it justice or greed. Anyway, after revealing the trailer, it's said that the pre-order of vol 2 was surged.

I have a feeling that ODA should have been S2 and vice versa.

[blewin]

A 3min trailer is pretty long! The opening battle scene is awesome. It's exactly like what Haladflire65 said, giving off that S1 vibe that is missing in S2. Also great to see development in the relationship between Hei and Yin. (Misaki, you don't stand a chance!) Yin sounds more like a normal girl... gee, like a girl in love actually.

Ah finally, THIS looks like the DtB I enjoyed before.

I miss the goofy faces people make when Hei shocked them.

[Faerie]

Mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, I'm glad to see clean Hei, and I like the season 1 feel of the trailer. I'm also interested in the Amber-lookalike.
Even though I did not particularly care for her, she was interesting, so hopefully the Amber-lookalike will be too, in one way or the other

On the other hand, I'm personally not interested in Yin, so that is a plotline I'm not looking forward to. I'm hoping it won't take center-stage.

[Divaa]

The Yin and Hei peck made me squee with excitement.


But this looks like a good add-on.

I miss Amber, poor girl vaporized as a fetus, waste of good meat.

It is safe to say that Yin and Hei plot line IS going to take center stage for the OAD. Unforunate but definitely true, that's what it's for.

For season 2 it might or might not, with the amount of episodes left it might be overshadowed by the Suou/Shion storyline, or it might be connected and fused togehter.

Yea, I'm afraid so... shame, really. If it was at least a minor plotline that would be fine. I don't know why, it just doesn't sound interesting to me. So my hope is on the Amber-lookalike, with a bit of luck, she will be at least half as interesting as the original and have at least some sort of role.
I miss plots about interesting contractors/dolls Like Havoc.. or July. Or even the one that was with the gangster-kid

It's here! Seen on a Japanese streaming site. And it should please all of us, whether we liked season two or not. As someone who did like season two, I loved ep1 of the OVA.

Spoiler for OVA ep1 summary:

Start with the attack in the factory/refinery, during which Hei offs a bunch of Organization guys. Hei and Yin in Okinawa on a "honeymoon trip" during which they sleep in separate beds. Hei jumpy and alert for danger. Yin her apparently affect-less self, but clearly wanting to be close to him, grabbing his shirt-tail, his hand, following him when he said not to because it was dangerous, lying awake in her bed seeming to want to go to him. He always seems to be a bit angry and going ahead. She orders a huge dinner for them, because she knows how he eats, but he is afraid of attracting attention in the almost deserted resort. Still, he eats, and she even nibbles a piece of cucumber. He holds her in that evening scene, saying he will never leave her alone, and she says: "Liar."

A new hotel guest arrives, a woman who looks like Amber, but isn't. Hei is talking to her and Yin feels jealous. A Genji-like scene in which Yin's observation ghost half-chokes the woman when she is sitting on her room's balcony having a drink (liquid). She does turn out to be a contractor, and she and her henchmen kidnap Yin. Hei is cornered by the woman contractor, whose ability is to turn a contractor against themselves. Hei is able to rescue her because Yin herself turns the woman contractor's hand against herself, making her shoot herself rather than Hei (the beginning of Izanami's power). Hei, embracing her, says: "Don't leave me alone." And she holds him. The end.

Doesn't sound as exciting as I had hoped.

It's just a 1st episode... And I think it's great, it will be definitely much more exciting than 2nd season Cause it can't be worst

I just can't wait

Well, yeah. I have to see it for myself before I form an opinion.

That's pretty biased.

Yeah I know... I can't help it... I'm so disappointed after 2nd season, that I think everything would be better than that...
Especially when it's something about Hei - dark ripper + Yin, not hobo one + another loli...

I really think, heh, I hope so, I won't be disappointed. And for now, after watching next preview of OVA, when I can see action, Hei kicking asses, new contractors and Yin talking a lot ! It must be good!... ...at least ?
I know I have to wait to rate it, but my first impression is really good...

[Manji Midou]

sooo....any speculation as to who....

Spoiler:

the kid who seemed to get pissed at seeing Yin embrace Hei at the end?

Spoiler for OAD:

At first I thought he was a Doll but then seeing him get pissed tells me otherwise...

Well, that was pretty awesome. I definately prefer this over S2... It had pretty good action scenes, especially the beginning, and the music placement was pretty well-done. I liked it alot.

And so that Amber look-alike was actually a shapeshifter dude who has other Contracter powers like illusions and not dying after shooting himself in the head? And that dog with the woman's voice, she almost seems like the boss of things to me... Maybe another Contractor?

Whew. So many new characters and possibilities...

P.S. I loved the Hei x Yin scenes... Including the meal at the hotel

Spoiler for OAD:

That kid is definitely a doll... 1. He says Hei is coming 2. for what the hell would they have a kid in team ? Being a doll is only reason for him to be there...
And don't u remember ? Dolls are "evaluating" is some way, Amber said that...
If Yin can love, can feel, can be jealous, can act on her own, why other dolls can't ? And for me that kid was jealous

And that black dog... I think it's that woman from 2nd episode, u can see her in a preview, she is contractor...
But I don't understand one thing...
what the hell happened with Ambers look-alike body ? first we can see her dead, that dog is talking something to her body, and then we can see a young man (who looks like her x_X), holding flower, which she used to smell ? Was she that guy or what ?!

Btw. great episode, I really love that ^^ can't wait for the next ep...

[Vanehei]

Great episode!!! i love it... and we can see the trailer for the next ova in the official site... yin is getting bad ass...kowaii

[Shinji103]

[orion]

Spoiler:

Most likely the young man at the end is the true form of the Amber lookalike, and he managed to pull off a last minute illusion of his Amber form shooting himself.
