What actually happened in Darker Than Black, again? I just remember

Did other shit happen? Because I didn't notice?

>>121825787
There was dialogue on occasion

There was a clone of CC from Code Geass and a lovely oneesan-type police woman and some lesbian who was evil? or died? or something

>>121825787
There was a killer robot driving instructor who travels back in time for some reason. His best friend was a talking pie.

Guys, this was a song that played during Darker Than Black. It's really cool. Like, I'd put it above some Bebop tracks.

What the fuck was going on while it played?

Yin was best girl, but then she became worst girl, and then she was best girl again.

>>121826298
Then she became the antichrist.

>>121825787
the first arc was good
rest was meh


season 2 could have used better character motivation
like Suo getting powers from the meteor fragment because it was her wish to be an emotionless contractor
but maintaining her humanity to explain why she still has feelings

I'm just glad it didn't become a super edgy gore-fest

There was some plot about Hei's sister, the South American gate, the contractors who work MI6 trying to stop rogue contractors...but I all remember clearly is Hei being a badass and the episodes where the yakuza thug fell for the Doll.

Guys BONES just announced their original anime to be some idol moeshit. No DTB. Aniplex took us for fools.

>>121827076
>He wanted a second season
Let's not push out luck. A second season might be awful

>>121827076
Actually we are still in the running. Their new anime is an adaptation of a rhythm game so I don't think it counts as an original.

She also had to rewing time countless times to save Hei when he was still at South America.

He went from electic batman to time travel assisted batman.

Hei died countless times when he was still fighting with his sister.
Ember used her powers to save him everytime. She was only going back 12/24 hours before the time of his death so it didn't cost her much.
They were also lovers iirc, so he used to trust her, a lot.
He hated her because she didn't/couldn't use her power to save his Imouto.

Also, because she's a manipulative bitch.


>>121829193

There is no pleasure in Hei's life, only suffering.

>>121829684
wut?
Hei hate her because he sees her as a traitor. They all worked for the syndicate before she said "fuck it"(time travel shenanigans probably involved) and founded Evening Primrose.

The true question is : why did she go out of her way to save him so many times?

Hei didn't know that, he was looking for her from the beginning of S1.

That fat opera singer was stuffing her fat face with cigarettes even though she said it doesn't have to be cigarettes specifically.
It could've been the same with Havoc, blood of children and if not available then any blood will do just so she doesn't go completely insane.

Also Suous' magical salior moon transformation... no words describe my hatred towards it...

Oh, and btw Hei basically wasn't a Contractor... he had powers from his sister, but his character was the same as from before the fusion.

>>121835987
Pretty sure it is? If you never used your facial muscles for things like smiling and laughing your entire life, don't expect to be able to do it right on the first try.

I know a neet who has the creepiest laugh and smile, and he only spent like 2 and 3 years without social interaction.
Yeah that neet is me

>>121832518
Suou died when meteors fell. Suous brother awakened as a contractor with the power to make duplicates of things. Suou is a duplicate of the original Suou for the sole reason of testing if the clone could remain in existent for extended periods using the meteor fragment (necklace thing) as an anchor for her mind.

By the end of S1 Yin is shown having evolved into a state higher than a doll, and Izanami manifests in her.

By the end of S2 the organization is essentially wrecked with USA USA taking over, Shion makes a deal with Izanami and creates a duplicate world without the contractor fuckery in it. He also creates a duplicate of Yin which Izanami moves into so Hei can claim his waifu back without having to deal with Izanami.

>Soul Eater NOT!

He didn't have one since he wasn't a real contractor so to speak. It was his sister who was the real BK-201, I'm not sure what her renumeration was, wasn't it sleeping or something?
I remember watching this for the first time and thinking that Hei's renumeration was eating since he was eating so much.
By the way, that trap at the beginning of the second season that "stole" Hei's power, it killed his sister didn't it?

>>121837241

>>121837920
>Suffice to say the ending left me a bit confused.
Not only You.

For example who the fuck is this male Yin copy?
In the end we see 2 female Yins, black and white.
We can say that the white one, the one Hei carries, is the normal Yin. But who is this black Yin? Is it the same one that wakes up as a male Yin with short hair? Why is it male? Is this the 'small difference' about which Shion was talking about? Copy changes gender? Why then other copies did not change gender? And finally is Yin alive? If not season 2 did not happen.

Probably will have to wait until Spring/Summer for the announcement. /a/ will go fucking nuts, everyone will criticize the coming of a new season but we'll all fucking watch it anyways.

>>121843031

Really? I bet a lot of people will go "It can't be worse than the second season" and hype levels will go up.

>>121843031
>hurr durr why are they skipping S2

Yeah.. can't wait...

DtB S2 was a wild ride, but not the good kind.

The very beginning was weird, but intriguing.
Then it nosedives into intense cringing with that horrible dreadlocks ultrafaggot. Worst character in the series, bar none.
Then he gets left behind and the show finally becomes great again.
Then the worst ending I've ever seen in any medium happens and the entire season is retroactively burned to the ground.

Chinese batman usually had the edge in their encounters. He lost in their last encounter but he did manage to wrap his hook thingies around her so if he had his powers at the time he would've probably zapped her beautiful firm ass.

Yeah he did

I remember her having the power to phase/teleport at their first encounter, she should be able to get out of his hook thingy.

But then at the same time, at their last encounter he could have zapped her when she tied him up with her hook

Guess you always should bet on chinese batman

Just who the fuck is this bitch?

She single-handedly ruined season 2.

Don't think too much, it's better that way.

>>121849627
I don't remember her at all.

>>121849728
Nobody does.

But she drove nearly every aspect of the plot.

Yeah, by far the dumbest ability. She even could spawn only 5 bullets.
The only advantage of this would be the fact that she would not have to carry it around. But what kind of fucked up power would that be?

People thinking that Aniplex has some plans, plus BONES shows usually not selling unlike DtB.
