I loved Darker than Black season 1 but season 2 is really awful. It has been awhile since I watched it so I don't remember too much but Hei takes a young girl under his wing and more or less trains her as a child soldier, taking on the role of the verbally abusive drill sergeant/mentor. All of his endearing qualities are completely gone. There's a complete dearth of likeable characters and really bad pacing issues. I recommend skipping Season 2 because there isn't an ounce of any of the good stuff from season 1 in it.

oof that sounds awful. The whole reason Hei's character works so well is cause he also has the sweetboy traits. y'can't just throw out half of a character. I'll probably avoid season 2 after all, ty
