| Yeah, Shinsen tends to be have a looser, freer translation style. It gives you more English friendly subs, but it can have the possibility of sounding odd if you can understand some of the Japanese. It also makes it harder to pick up words and phrases. Of course, it's a personal opinion and I can definitely see people not wanting more literal, harder to read subs. |

| Strange what surprised me about Hei isn't that he eats for 10 people (which by the way are bound to cost a hell of alot of money for him) nor his powers... what I'm most surprised with is that he has that coat of his in his backpocket!?!? I want me one of those if it can fit in my backpocket then ohh yeah |

oh mans... Studio BONES AND Yoko Kanno?!?!?! So far after 3 episodes I'm fairly intrigued about the premise behind the Darker than Black universe and of course loving the animation quality courtesy of studio BONES and the musical talent of Yoko Kanno. _________________ [img:460:60:e14c938338]http://images.minitokyo.net:8001/sigs/kidder.gif[/img:e14c938338] |

I suspect it's the power to manipulate electricity. 1) Remember when the guy was running away in the canal , he only needed to step slowly into the water. 2)He unlocked a mechanised lock. 3) He was able to light up the amusement park.

i like how they managed to squeeze in some throwbacks to your more stereotypical shounen protagonists in hei. his apparent affinity for food parallels the large appetites of others like goku, luffy and gon. i think they're playing this trait off as his payment thing for using his contractor powers. and his public image shares in common the almost childlike innocence of other shounen heros as well. _________________

the subs doesn't really matter for me, i just dl whichever one comes out first or it says it's a better quality. haha. ahh!! i really like this! Ep. 5 got to give us the reason for his actions! We're getting to the story of it all and it's not all that random! _________________ Nankurunaisa |

| Episode 7 was ok. Am I the only one that is starting to be disappointed in this show? I expected much more after being blown away with the first episode. |

Really? I liked ep7 very much, I like the detective and the girl. Their characters are kind of out of place for this show, but I like it nevertheless. I hope they stay around for future episodes.
Also, I wasn't very impressed with the first episode of this show. I think you were over-hyped about this show, and that tends to disappoint people. _________________ [IMG:258:200]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v435/ypark/sigs/3fsn.png[/img] |

okay so we already established hei's ability but what is the payment for it? is it his unnatural appetite? Above all i'm more interested in his part in the war that Havoc mentioned and what that war is about. no doubt the bad guys stem from there _________________ ALL HAIL LELOUCH

| i thought episode 7 was hilarious. the beginning was funny. then it builds up towards a slight suspense and then the ending was.. cliffhanger-ish. i dont think this anime is bad at all |

| I'm enjoying this anime alot. It has the potential to be a good anime aimed at a slightly oder audience. The lighter touch in 7-8 was lots of fun and a nice break from the darker more serious elements that dominated the first 6 episodes. |
