Hei, what did they do to you? Five episodes down, now. There is only 12, this time. Twenty-six in the first... I don't know why they would cut it down that much. I guess they didn't need the time to explain the setting and didn't want to pony up money for a show that isn't all that popular.
It's terrible to see Hei so heartbroken. To see him slap a child and watch her have to grow up into a Contractor. This show!!!! When people think anime is for kids it really upsets me because of shows like this one. Watching a girl have her first period and not know what it is, then a few hours later say 'I'm a woman now' isn't something you see a lot on television. It's treated like a joke. There are a lot of nuances to Darker Than Black.
He's the same as Phoenix Wright, now. Seeing Wright go from that blue suit and fresh face to a hobo alcoholic really was affecting. The same to see Hei go from someone who eats an impossible amount and never touched alcohol to someone who drinks straight from the bottle in every scene. He was right, in that last line to Misaki. AAh, so painful. Is she going to see him again? I can sympathize with a woman who chases an unavailable man instead of settling, because she sees his heart and can't let it go. It's not like they're going to get married! I really don't know what kind of ending is coming.
I'm surprised that character M and N were used like that but all I can do is respect the writers for moving the story forward instead of being sentimental. I'm hugely sentimental!! Hei, Hei, I just wanted you to have a happy ending.
OKAY time to watch more. Yes I will be writing more entries like this all day ha ha ha...
