[J] Darker Than Black
I've been watching season 1 of DARKER THAN BLACK. I like the show, but I don't love it (like I did GUN X SWORD, which I watched this summer). I will not watch season 2. (Though I did accidentally watch like the first 1.5 episodes of it... kinda telling that I still don't care, right?)
I think one of the indications that my interest in it isn't strong enough is the fact I don't have a favorite character. I mean, I like Yin and Mao, but I don't love either of them. Now, I haven't had a character I loved in a long time (didn't happen in GUN X SWORD, either), but I'd at least have something the characters did that I loved (like Van's condiment habit). Nothing Hei or any of them do is "lovable" to me.
In terms of world building and character growth/concept... All of that is tight. If it sucked, I couldn't watch it. The questions that are the mystery of what is going on/happened at Brazil are well done. However, since I don't love the characters, I don't care about the answers. Even when the bomb was dropped, regarding what they were trying to do. "Oh, that sucks for them, I guess," was my reply.
Anyways, I have 4 episodes to go to finish season 1. I'll likely finish it up by the end of the week. Then, I'll likely play video games for a bit...
What will I watch next? Well, I'll be watching a K-Drama with my BFF (somehow, I left COFFEE PRINCE unwatched this long). I never finished watching IKEMEN DESU NE (J-Drama), so maybe that. Or I might watch TO THE BEAUTIFUL YOU (K-drama). Or, if I can find a short run anime (approx 13 episodes), I might go with that. I don't know. And I don't know when I'll watch it (like I said, video game love coming next).
