There was a Darker than BLACK 2 - officially titled Darker than BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini - commercial that aired with today’s episode of Basquash. As you can see above, it starts with a quick montage of stuff that happened in the final episode of the first series, including Hei’s line about how there is no longer any man named Li. Then comes the interesting part of the commercial,

the much wilder looking Hei. It’s not a lot to go on (there are magazine spoilers that reveal more), but it’s exciting to me all the same, and I’m looking forward to the series. The fact that the commercial aired during Basquash today means that it’ll most likely be taking over that MBS timeslot come October, the same Thursday timeslot that the first series had.


- Thanks to Omni for the Update

Don't worry She's there, according to ANN:

The story continues two years later and follows the main characters Hiei and Yin on the run as they encounter a Russian-Japanese girl named Suō Pavlichenko.

According to Omni:

This one reveales that the new girl is named Suou and that the initial setting will be Vladivostok, Russia. Assuming they go with a normal promotion strategy, there’s probably two more commercials in store before the premiere of the show, at least one of which will feature the new OP or ED.

- personally I thought it was 15sec trailer I've seen before but it's not, as seen above So Yeah, it's ALL new footage. Looks great

CM 3

Trailer - http://video.yahoo.c...009450/15622690
(15s commercial for the new Darker than BLACK: Ryuusei no Gemini series aired after this weeks' episode of Basquash)

This one focuses on the new girl Suou talking about the stars and has a nice piano piece in the background, but it’s again stuff that was already shown in the longer promo video that’s available on the official site.


..Well Here's Some Infor that i Have Collected So Far:

Synopsis:

Spoiler

Two year after the events of the original series, Hei and Yin are on the run after betraying the Syndicate. After leaving Japan, Hei encounters Suou Pavlichenko, a 13 year old Eurasian girl who becomes embroiled in the war and politics of the various factions and Contractors vying for power. Meanwhile, Hell's Gate remains standing in Tokyo, after Hei's efforts to stop the Saturn Ring anti-Gate particle weapon from activating.

Although Contractors are safe from the danger of having their existences erased, this does not prevent new and old Contractors from abusing their powers. As Misaki Kirihara and her team in the Public Security Bureau deal with the increasing Contractor cases, she also has to keep the Syndicate at bay, who has major positions in the Japanese police and intelligence bureaus around the world. The storyline setting primarily takes place in both Japan and Russia.

A Full Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMAD7bG4MMA...player_embedded

- As you can see, the new protagonist. Suou/Shion Pavlichenko, is a girl. Her twin brother gains contractor powers after losing his right eye in an accident with a falling metor fragment. His renumeration is being confined to a wheelchair and details on his power(s) have not been released.




Hei is a hippy. It' very obvious. The carnival mask and mullet proves it. Contrary to other opinions, I think the new hair style actually suits him. It has been confirmed that Hei will be styling a shorter haircut and wear glasses later in the show.




Suou Pavlichenko. She is so much cuter without the constant panicky shrilly voice, it amazes me. By the way, she is holding a sniping rifle in the first screenshot. Maybe she won't be a useless side character after all:)




Suou's contractor twin brother. Since they are twins, I suspect his last name is also Pavlichenko. Why is he happy when he only has one eye?




Side Character. Check!!




Scientist Character. Check!!


+Plus here are Some More Characters:







^ Her name Translates: Leaf Moon Water Nothing.




Big round eyes. Cuddly furry creature. Roadkill!!




No need to fear, Yin and Hei are here!! (Or to be precise there are in Russia)




We rarely see Hei actually smile in the series, yet here he is, smiling in his sleep. What could he be dreaming about?




What I'm afraid of:

1. This will become another Code Geass R2 (though I'm a bit more optimistic Cuz it's the same staff as last season, Unlike Code Geass R2)


2. Too much fan service or Stupid Japanese anime jokes (because the new characters designs do hint at fanservice and and stupid anime jokes..)


+Plus:

Darker than Black: Shikkoku no Hana is a Manga that takes place 1 year after the first series. It is more of a single case arc shot story than a full blown Manga.

I don't expect it go beyond a few chapters, since the anime will be coming out in October.

i think is going to be darker than black : the apprentice i assume.
