Technically speaking, he _is_ dead after episode 23 as well.

But what the fuck Owen, I expected better of you.

XD But I guess I'll let it linger in my mind first, then rewatch later. How I wish the DtB season2 rumor would come true too! @issa-sa: oh don't be mistaken, Hei tops my list too!! XD But Nov.11 was just so... suave and sexay~ :P But eh, the s2 rumor got dispelled?! D: noooo! I'll remain hopeful... oh please let the rumors be true. @hazy: haha, I feel like rewatching DtB now, actually! XD But I guess I’ll let it linger in my mind first, then rewatch later.

I'm surprisingly a sucker for groups of random powers, it's what got me interested in the likes of Fushigi Yuugi -srsly XD- and even *gasps* Bleach for a while. I'm surprised I don't watch more shounen anime...) Not perhaps the deepest of reasons, but yea loved the show as it is :up: I WAS disappointed when the rumours for a 2nd season got dispelled though, would've loved more episodes! I can see how some people may feel that the show could've done a better job of explaining things or that it was just being cryptic for the sake of being cryptic (people like Owen will obviously disagree), but if some would rather rewatch the show to gain a deeper understanding of what may or may not have lied under the surface of things that's great too. Still, regardless of whether or not it be 'necessary' I do believe a 2nd season wouldn't bring the series down a notch at all (unlike say, for a series like Da Capo. Oh, TOO LATE) and hence is still VERY welcome us of fans :halo: P.S. November 11's swell and all, but still prefer Hei - or should I say his over-eating alter-ego Lee? - maybe cos I'm a glutton as well :P Darker than Black definitely thrilled and entertained me as a series, plus I loved the atmosphere of mystery and the contract and remuneration system (Poetry and boiled eggs 4tw!

For me, DtB and Moribito were the best series in the Spring '07 season (with Oofuri and Love*Com next on the list). Glad to hear you're enjoying DtB! Even until now, I'm still noticing some little details that help me understand the story better every time I re-watch it (3 times and counting xD). There was a rumor before about a season 2... it got "leaked" along with the FMA s2. The FMA part turned out to be true, oh how I wish the DtB s2 rumor would also be true!

A rewatch would be good, even though I already did that for the last 5 episodes or so to catch exactly what was being implied. Though Owen's episodics have been making me rethink as well.

I too thought the ones with Pinky and the PI were filler-like, but if you take a closer look at it, you'll see that it doesn't stray away from the intended theme of the series. A rewatch would be good, you can see what you missed out on that way! :D Pretty much along the same lines, ‘the last arc didn’t tie the loose ends of the series’, or that ‘it would’ve been better if the series length was cut in half’, ‘I stopped caring for it after the first half’, etc. I owe it to not seeing the message behind the other episodes, hence people’s labelling of some episodes as ‘filler’.

I don't follow many blogs/forums, so all I know is that the last two episodes ended up raising more questions than answering them. I personally loved the show, though I did kinda skim through pretty much all the bits that felt like filler (primarily those scenes involving the PI and pink). Hm...tempted to rewatch DtB now as well...mainly to pass my free time waiting for more Cross Game ;] Forgive me for my ignorance, but what were the “cries of disappointment”?
