Darker.than.Black.the.Sequel.

One of the things I did while on leave last week was just to sit back and catch up on some anime series. The one that didn't have time to watch previously was the sequel to Darker than Black, named Gemini of the Meteor (Ryƫsei no Gemini). Shorter than the first season, the sequel has only 12 episodes - but it was as good as the first. I was thinking of a good and short way to describe how the story picks up from the last...but I think the following from anime-access does it better than what I was able to come up with :)
Two years have passed since Hei and Yin escaped the Syndicate after the events of the first season. Making their way to Russia, Hei encounters a young girl named Suou Pavlichenko, whose family is gradually pulled into the war between contractors and various intelligence factions. Meanwhile, Misaki Kirihara has quit her position in Foreign Affairs to begin her own investigations into Hei, the Contractors and the Syndicate.
The opening for Gemini of the Meteor by Stereopony is catchy - called (Tsukiakari no Michishirube lit. means Moonlight Signpost) and one that I have downloaded for the collection. It was hard finding a version on Youtube that Sony hasn't already blocked out the audio - or removed completely. However, I did manage to find a version of the opening from the anime (let's see how long before this gets blocked as well) and also of the full MV by Stereopony. If you haven't watched this anime yet, go check it out :)
