					<description>Hei was drinking in the episode before he lost his powers and BK201 is stillhis star.  I think Hei's powers got sucked into Suou's necklace which  might also be the meteor core that he is searching for.  Everything Hei is doing is connected to finding his sister.  Darker Than Black is still a great anime.  </description>

					<description>IIRC Hei was known as the black reaper even BEFORE he got his powers, so it's not really that surprising that he can take on contractors as he is now.

As with most people, I prefer the first season, but I still enjoy watching it. A lot.

I hope that we would get some answers to the questions left at the end of season 1, which I think should be the point of making a second season in the first place. </description>

					<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;She’s now level-headed, she stopped angsting and stopped being a brat.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I really don't buy the fact that she 'redeemed' herself by becoming a contractor, that all of her previous personality flaws and annoying teenage angst just evaporated with her transformation. In my opinion, it's a lot worse now that's she supposed to be calm, cool and collected, or mature if you will. She just goes through all the phases of being bratty (&quot;I hate you.&quot;, trying to save up money and run away, please slap my face to balance out the pain, etc) without a blank stare.

Eh, as for trying to appreciate S2...I'm trying and it's just not working.</description>

					<description>ppl shrink: I do believe you're the only one getting pissed at anything here, we (who like S2) aren't bashing you (people who dislike S2). Just trying to change your perception a little so that you can appreciate S2, after all, we all liked S1. If you want to continue hating it with such passion, that's just your loss</description>

					<description>I was always under the impression that hei's powers got transfered to the girl.  When he lost his powers lighting went towards the girl.  His power is actually matter manipulation, so creating something like a rifle isn't far-fetched.  I doubt it would manifest the same way in all of them.

Oh, and deosn't anyone find it cool that hei can take on contractors without his powers?  In a fight to the death, with his powers, hei could take on any of the current contracters (we have info on).  None of them have the combat skills of the exploding blood guy.  They rely on their powers to much.

Exluding the blade girl, but he didn't even use his powers against her.

					<description>ppl shrink: It's certainly not bad that you have a different opinion, but I thought that you'd like to know that Suou completely changed character after episode 3 at which she became a contractor. She's now level-headed, she stopped angsting and stopped being a brat. Just my 2 cents. ;)</description>

I'm quite surprised of the severity of the bashes on this show.. i haven't found anything that annoying yet in this show.. Just look at the point.. If you were in the place of Suou, what would you do? All the talk of this annoying brat bulshit is quite a pain in the ass... People talk like they can act cool when they're in place of the characters they're bashing.. Man am i pissed...</description>

					<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The upswing of the arc, he is probably going to grow to really care about suou, probably learning some life lessons along the way, maybe getting his powers back just as he learns to accept life without them. Something along those lines.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

It might be screenwriting 101, but that's exactly what I don't want from DtB2. I miss season one. That's really all I can say...I don't even know how to put into words what makes me dislike Gemini so damn much.</description>

					<description>Oh, that's what I meant! The episode directors handling this past episodes are known for their ecchi animes, thanks for the clarification. I read that bit a few days ago, my memories are a bit vague. But I distinctly remember that those who handled season 1 will be back to manage the second half. I was particularly glad to hear that.</description>

					<description>BKNY: where exactly did you read that the directors changed? The main director still is the same, and the episode directors so far are either carried over from the first season, or worked on other great series without an emphasis on fanservice. </description>

					<description>I love season 1 for what it is, a slice of life arc based drama that escalates with subtlety to a grand finale. Every episode made sense, they had a story to tell and time wasn't wasted on empty fan service like this one. As evidence of the popularity of Darker than Black 1, it works. 

I don't mind too much the loss of Hei's power, I know he can adjust being the black reaper and all, but I do greatly mind how Bones had almost completely ruined the good impression we had of Hei, the rugged look and mistreatment of Suou I can stomach(barely) but the not so subtle hints of perversion was a big no no. I had read somewhere that the director for this season was changed to someone who used to direct ecchi animes and I can clearly see the influence. The recent episode wasn't too bad mainly because the original script writer wasn't changed just the directors, they're still enjoyable but they would have been a lot better without the moe. Fortunately, I also heard that the original director will be back for the second half of this season so I'm expecting that the second half will be more to my liking.

Come to think of it, this episode might be the beginning of that turning point. Seeing that Hei has finally eaten something, did not hurt Suou and Suou in turn had man it up and kill that bird are good signs of improvement. </description>

					<description>wow, can't believe I used to think that everyone liked the show. For me, DTB2 fits nicely with the first season. Yes, things change, people change for better or worse. I think this point makes the show more realistic and unpredictable.</description>
