Darker than BLACK - Ryuusei no Gemini

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

Uh, it already started? Which group subs it? I've long been waiting for this :D

Does it follow the events from the manga, or the 1st season? Because I only ever got 2 chapters of the manga, not more.

Watched the ep yesterday and it seems to have that same mix of slice of life, action and philosophy coupled with a certain je ne sais quoi that I loved in the first season.

[spoiler]I wouldn't have thought that they'd kill off April as soon as the second episode. IMHO she was always an enjoyable character. And Hei seems kinda dark in the preview, as he did at the start of the first season (later on he got much more... human)[/spoiler]

Also, with all the black cats in the episode, I really, really, hope they will bring back Mao. Mao was awesome.

Darker then black is one the most interseting anime I have ever seen cause it always keeps you asking "why?" :evil:

ya i like stories that make you think, or wonder what the big picture is, or really just any nice mystery.

What the fuck?
It's the second time DtB has a no-explanation-whatsoever ending.
I demand more violence. And a third season.

i was ok with the ending of the first season, this ending just seemed...lacking.

from rewatching the first season i noticed that when kirihara was narrating in the first episode she stated it was their "first meeting with bk201" so they may have a large overarcing story. (or shameless money seeking sequals)
