    Too bad there are only 4 of them >_>

    They hardly make up for the huge disappointment that the second season turned out to be

    At the beginning of this episode I was wondering if Yin really did sound like a different person, or whether I just wasn't used to her talking so much in one episode. Turns out my first suspicions were right.

    I've always wondered too at whether there'd be a contractor who has to strip for her remuneration. Gravity's pretty hax, just like the last gravity user we saw.

    -------------------------------
    edit:
    That first dream sequence could well be just a dream, but I'm thinking it could also be what happened back in Hell's Gate. In the final episode of season 1, Amber touched Hei's chest with the meteor fragment, and we were transported to to that yellowy world where dead people speak. From Hei's perspective, when that ended, Yin reached out to him to drag him back to her world.

    But what about from Yin's perspective? Could it be that time froze all around her (as it does when Amber uses her power), which stopped the Saturn Ring from firing, but at the same time, the meteor's power actually transported Hei and Amber into some alternate reality, blasting Yin in a shower of Gate-positive particles, and forcing her mutation?

    -----------------------

    Alter Yin is both really sexy and creepy at the same time. I'm looking forward to both aspects escalating next time

    BSS - DtB Gaiden 03










    -----------------

    Loved the new Yin getup, but otherwise found this episode weaker (or less enjoyable) than the previous ones.

    So now, rather than anticipating the last Gaiden episode, I'm more itching to see a Third season to this, if only to see where they're going with all this "change the world" business.

    But there seems to be no third season, or at least that is what the director said.

    That sucks then. They go and introduce a whole lot of new material that gave more questions than answers, and decide to leave it? I honestly can't remember what happened to Hei at the end of Gemini, but that only indicates how baffling and inconclusive it was.

    Whatever, season 1 was great but the only reason why we're enjoying these OVAs so much is because of how incredibly confusing and unsatisfying the second season really was.

    I say let it die and move on

    Yeah. Darker than Black didn't feel the same anymore after the second season. I haven't felt since that I'd want to see more of DtB, although I'm watching this Gaiden. But even this doesn't really feel as good as it should because I know inevitably this will lead to Gemini.

    Perfectly watchable subs.

    God-Speed Subs - DtB Gaiden 04

    --------------------






    If you busted braincells trying to figure out what it all means still (like me), randomc's insight may shine some light into it. I might actually watch Gemini again after this, or at the very least the final episode of it.

    Now that everything finally makes sense, I don't see the need for a third season.

    Just watched and finished it. It was pretty good, although the 2nd season left me a bit...wanting I suppose.

    Just finished watching the Gemini 12 episode series. Overall I really liked it, but as a series ending season I was disappointed. In all loved the story it told, but the context of it finishing the series ruins it a bit for me, particularly with Hei's subplot being pretty much secondary to everything else.

    I actually really enjoyed the ending of the arc, with the Earth copy with Suou living there, particularly in the aftermath of her talking with Shion about the present he gave her with aquarium memory, which she mistakenly thought it was what he wanted. So he pretty much sacrificed himself to give Suou something you might call a real normal life.

    Oh well, really hope that at some point we get to see a bit more of this universe. Also disappointed that the action scenes in the last episode occurred off screen. They were going to be very good ones.

    Going to watch the OVA later.
