…or Out of the Dark, whatever works.

Very nice!

While I really enjoyed the anime, I never had a tight bond with it. Though I must admit, the character designs were a major plus to the series. I really dig that style

The potential is undeniable.

@Kiri: now that I think about it, I’ve never seen much anime sequels in my life… goes to show how few shows I really watched I think you’ve clearly shown why it’s not good to approach the 2nd season with the “desire to see the ‘answers’ mindset”, because, for all we know, the first season never really was about the said “plot”. And seeking answers to something the series never really set out on answering in the first place would be…
@KayDat: Yeah, let’s have faith in them BONES! The details are pretty murky at this point, hopefully more info will come out in the coming months
@ghostlightning: I understand where you’re coming from… I’ve been recommending Darker than Black to my friends, and all I really have to say about it is that it’s fascinating, the whole “world” is soo rich and awesome that it draws you in, the characters are so complex, etc. Despite giving it a 10 and proclaiming how awesome it is, it’s not the kind of anime that makes me go shout on top of the world “WATCH THIS OR YOU’LL REGRET THIS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LYF!!”.

While I find it sad that you didn’t enjoy watching Darker than Black, I can’t say if it’ll be worth all the trouble rewatching it just for the sake of seeing what you missed out on (I’d totally do that for Cross Game). but yeah, in the end, all I can say is, watch it in your own time, when it “calls” you out
@Owen: LOL, and when will that happen? Yoko Kanno might be dead by then

Not seeing the whole point of a series will always lead to disappointments, and while I do want people to see Darker than Black in another light, only a rare few would be so masochist as to rewatch it and see it in another light, and ultimately affirm and accept that they were stupid for not getting it lol.

@hazy: with the whole “depth” and unexplored regions of the world they showed us in the first season, I’m pretty sure they can show us a lot more. I’m prepared to know more about the world, and once again realize how much I don’t know about it. That’s how it works in DtB, right?

We’re free to wish for more Nov.11!!
@A Day Without Me: how could you forget about one of the greatest DtB fagn Owen! My relationship with DtB isn’t all that clear, I found it epic, storytelling and character-development-wise, but it’s not as close to my heart as other animes I’ve seen. I suggest you rewatch and see it in another light though, considering that you did like it but ended up disappointed because of certain plotholes (which I believe could be filled-in by seeing things from another POV)

But, anyway, we all know it was my MAD SKILLZ that got this thing a sequel, clearly – I decreed on Monday that it needed a sequel, and them BAM! Wednesday we had a confirmed sequel! Clearly, I = epic.

I wonder if it’d pick up from the finale. I hope we’d finally get to know more about contractors and dolls. I wish Kirihara would be a bit more kicka$$ this time around. I wish Nov 11 would miraculously come back (I’m probably pushing it, but it’s a nice wish, no?). And more Hei, of course.

Oh, and I am going to be laughing at the fandumb so hard should they not get the “answers” they want in the second season and become frustrated, because a lot of DtB fans are idiots. TENSAI OKAMURA HIMSELF SAID IT WAS A HUMAN DRAMA, PEOPLE, GET OVER IT. It was never about the details behind the world, and to think so is like playing a nukige for the story.

But really I don’t know what I need to change or if I’m that interested in changing just to watch this. I guess I’ll know when the time comes.
