「The Black Cat Doesn`t Have a Dream of the Star…」
The second season of Darker Than Black starts with the introduction of two new characters. Two years ago in Siberia, twins named Suou and Shion stared up at the night sky watching the meteor shower with their father until a huge meteorite crashed onto them. Shion turned into a Contractor due to that.
At first, when I heard that we were going to have new main characters instead of focusing on Hei, I didn’t really like it. The first season had the same concept. Where in each arc we would have different main characters and Hei was somehow connected into their lives. After season one, I would have rather liked a second season with Hei as the lead. Without Hei as the lead, we don’t get as much of a connection to him. I did really liked the first season of Darker Than Black, but Hei seemed to be very distant to me. It was more like they were talking about the Contractors in general than being specific about Hei. That was one of the things that bothered me for Darker Than Black. I hope Hei gets more of a meaning in this season.
Two years later in Vladivostok, April from MI6 meets up with the new agent August 7 a.k.a. Magician in a bar. August 7 tells her that the FSB will be doing a house search because of some leaked information.
Seeing April all alone, makes me miss the antics of November 11. He made everything seem so suave. This magician guys looks interesting. Well, that’s actually because of his nickname. Looking to see what magic tricks he performs in this season.
Now in the present with Suou. She is taking pictures outside in the snow and happens to stumble upon a confessing scene between her friends, Tanya and Nika. She gets it all on camera.
LOL how red their faces were was hilarious. Anyway, I really like the voice actor who is doing Suou. Kana Hanazawa’s other works include Nadeko Sengoku from Bakemonogatari and Zange from Kannagi.
Then we get to see what Suou’s life is like.
Didn’t really interest me much. I’m going to be skipping some parts of the first episode in this post.
Hei appears finally! After the FSB came and tried to get Shion because he’s a contractor, April and Suou run away but they end up meeting with FSB agent Goran. He is also a contractor who is able to run at fast speeds. April manages to defeat him, but then gets tangled with wires around her neck. She tries to save herself but ends up dying while Suou stands their in shock as the mask drops revealing BK201.
Could the music be more annoying when Hei appears? Too bad that Kanno Yoko, the person who did the music for the first season, isn’t doing it for the second. All the music in the episode didn’t really fit much like in the first season.
The moment I’ve been waiting for throughout this first episode has finally arrived. I couldn’t be more happy Let’s have more Hei screentime in the next episode, please!
Let’s end this post with Hei drinking! Hei needs a haircut and shave fast!!
