I think it's probably slightly less mature, but a little bit more hypothetical. Thanks for the Praise Cece, as of this moment your wish is my command and I just blogged about episodes 3 and 4.

I think they are very mature and I enjoy them a lot. I hope you write a post on episodes 3 and 4 because I'm really interested to hear what you think. Hey I really like reading reading you reviews.

So much to respond too. I'll try not to spoil too much from episode three, as I'll probably write a 3-4 post later this week. Suou is a different character. Although she's standard for the industry she's a completely different type for DTB. Most of the characters in the first season had incredibly large regrets and the way we explored each episode literally lead to us digging up that regret and finally coming to terms with it. We explored the dark world of the contractors instead of growing up with them. Suou is us growing up with them. My creative writing instructor a few years ago told me that all stories can be boiled down to young boy/girl grows up or new guy/gal comes to town. The original DTB was definitely new guy comes to town and this one is definitely young girl grows up. That doesn't mean there wasn't character development (we all know there was), but I would address the soulless comment with the general image of contractors as those without emotions. Through the first season we explore this idea and come to realize that contractors haven't really lost their emotions they are just more in control of them then normal people (Wei=revenge, Amber=love, Bai=love, Havoc=regret). I can understand there need to get away from this trend as they have already explored it and would only be trying to live off past glories. Of course my entire post was about Yin http://yinnopiano.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif She's one of my favorite characters after all. The Mao question is answered in Ep 3 so no comment. I was surprised by April's death myself. She was in all of the previews and it just kind of blew my mind that Hei killed her at the end of the first episode. I think most of all though it sent a clear message to the fans that they were not going to pander to them. By killing April they showed that they were willing to sacrifice ratings for good writing. Do I feel sorry for July, yes I feel sorry for July. For once we get to look at a Doll who opened up to his comrades in the first season lose both of them before his eyes. (ep 3 spoiler sentence) Now he's a new member of the Hei team. Urgh, it's killing me not to write about a few of Hei's last lines in Ep 3 now that I'm actually writing this. I might just write a post anyways. Great comment! So much to respond too.
