That's what I thought when I saw the bag from Comiket!

EDIT:
Or was it TAF?

You forgot Lebih Gelap Daripada Hitam.

lebih hitam dari Samy Vellu bontot kuali

Ok, I just saw the first eps and came away very impressed. Nice animation, interesting story, excellent music for OP and ED and a main char who's not a total loser but a not-that-innocent-player.

the animation looks hentai.

Bet the animator are ex-hentai artist.

wait.. didn't once you said you don't watch hentais? and now your the hentai expert?

From the 1st epsiode, it sure looks promising.

what was this anime all about any summary??

I watched it very nice, so when is the second coming? About some wall the built to protect the city called Hells gato.

His husband is.

Together they share many things.

bump up the thread!
no 1 watch it edi?

count me in! now till episode 6 already..love the storyline...jaz that u'll feel a bit dissapointed seeing more n more gurls character died(havoc and lady in red(never saw it coming!)...but still..the storyline is SUPERB!

I still dont get it.
How does Contractor do a pact/contract?
And how the hell they know their own obeisences (they were told so/reflex/etc)?

From watching the series, it's totally random and something subconscious. Chopping lettuces, burning rubbish, smoking, drinking alcohol, dogearring books. Maybe there's a contractor that needs to fap!

I love the ending theme >_< I'm always listening to it in my computer, PDA and even handphone ^o^

I'm the opposite, been addicted to HOWLING since the single released, listening to it close to 8 hours a day...

Different people have different taste i guess

I like that idea of yours

and what the main character must do after using his power?
eating lot of food?

this anime ROCKS! I started watching it a few days ago. So damn gritty and violent

either that, or none.
i remember somewhere in the anime someone mention him being special/different contractor compared to others

I like this anime title. It is like so RACIST hahaha

I'm sure it refers to the horror theme and not meant to imply anything inappropriate.

Though ppl who are sensitive can be offended by anything slightly suggestive. Personally I like my kopi-O

Will be my next anime on the cards to replace my Deathnote thirst

Yup this anime is nice...been following it.

EP 13 rocks, it's about Yin's background

Did they drop this project?? Coz it's licensed

finish watching ep12.....
man...really like this anime ..
how come anime like this won't get hot in this forom = =

I got a sexual orgasm when li-kun breaks havoc's finger.

am I sick?

Hmm, at the end of episode 12 the CC look-alike (green haired girl in the intro) appears. I thought that was Hei's sister in from the intro but I guess I was wrong. I like where this is going. Very much.

where you all get the Avi version? I only have up to 10 then the rest all .mkv which I cannot view

and why you can;t view it? MKV is just a container like AVI, just different. Go install K-Lite Mega Codec pack or CCCP

currently you guys watch it from which fansubbers?? There's 1 that I get is not in english subtitle... So i have to delete it T_T

I tried those codecs before but it doesn't work for me. How?

Get Zoomplayer and open mkv files with it. It supports mkv out of the box so you don't need codecs.

You got the problem like the picture will hang abit like that?? I only get this problem... and even worst... with other subtitles... not english at all..

Can anyone recommend a fansub?? is [sudo] okay?

Sudo is the only one left subbing DTB. SHS announced that they dropped the series. I was left with no choice but to watch the RAW of 11 and 12. Watched 13 too but with subs from somebody else.

good question indeed.

they may have purposely hide this until later in the series. which i think is good.

one thing i dont understand, those who failed to become contractors, they turn into dolls?

this series is starting to get into me.

i just finish watching 15th episode. nice story, like watching 'Alias' but more to gathering information about 'Hell's Gate', feel like 'Heroes' a bit but every ability has a price to pays, and excellent graphic.

I think he does. thats why he was refer as 'glutton'

keiyakusha - contractor, having to used their ability they have to pays it with certain price or remuneration, such as humming a song, drink children's blood, write a poem, putting the shoes backward and so on.

they also lost their emotion, or maybe lost their sense of humanity that's why they become cruel when killing.

sudo annonymous both are good subbers

Yeah. I am still watching. lol. Its cool ^^.

will watch this animu later XD

downloaded until episode 20.. not bad...

finish watching ep21....can't wait for the ep22 !!

Ep 21??Is it RAW?I only watch till ep 20.
There is another group subbing DTB.The group is called syndicate.
Why did SHS dropped this series?

like the episode where he help this guy and a doll to escape, very touching...
almost cry...

Syndicate I have my suspicions that some of the members are from SHS cause of the subtitle fonts they used. I watch either Sudo's or Syndicate's sub whichever releases first. I try not to touch Anon's UNLESS I have no other choice.

shinsen-sub drop it, why?????????????

Subbed release for this anime is so slowwww...
It's one of the better animes I've watched but it's a chore waiting
for it to be subbed.
Damn!

Licensed.

just finish watching final epsd of this anime...sub by bss...

i am not really understand the ending.
wat amber trying to do...wat happen to heaven gates...wat happen to bai...seriusly....i cant understand anythg...

the only thing i can understand, li-kun choose both....human n contractor should try to live together...ces....

sound like trinity blood now...ahahha...

No.. its ez to say.. Amber use all her power to reverse time again before the Saturn Gate start to turn and that cost her life as she ady a child ady... plus add in the power from the meteor fragment..

And Hei destroy the Saturn gate and nullify the whole place with his special electricity that the prof say its even alter the molecule of a thing so no choice but to admit they lost ady.

Bai is dead.. and Hei actually a human.. but before Bai die in the past... she enters Hei body hence hei got her power..

Nice ending but got lotsa unsolved case.. music and fighting animation is top notch.. Erm.. Not sure as i dl from misc sub.. So if you want i can seed for u.

ic ic...
which meant amber renumeration is each time she use her power, she bcome younger? then to the point where she didnt exist anymore?

then, y heaven gate disappear back then? wat did amber n bai do till it dissapear b4?

yeah, i admit the ending is nice...but just a lil bit confuse...haha..i oso dl from misc fansub...cos sm of them drop it as its being license...hurm...yeagh, lots of unsolved case...the origin of the gate is still unknown...

hopefully got 2nd season...

This post has been edited by death_nite: Oct 1 2007, 05:48 AM

i heard about this anime b4. thaks LKS. i'll put it in my anime DL list

He didnt know his sister is dead?...

Yeah many questions are left hanging... or maybe I'm just not paying enough attention.

What the f**k are Heaven's or Hell's Gate?
How did the contractors appear in the first place? Did BK-201 cause the
propagation of contractors?
What are dolls?
Etc, etc...

A very good anime nonetheless!

This post has been edited by -Panadol-: Oct 1 2007, 10:02 AM

finish watching last ep....
can't understand a shit lol...
awesome anime i must say

heaven gates is the one located in south america...

hell gates is the one located in japan...

the round shape things...they call it as gate....

contractor...they born as normal baby....by the time they grew up, their power will b awaken...but, they will lose their feeling. they think rational. no emotional feeling.

but, it seems amber not like dat lar. as if she got emotional feeling too...

dolls, hurm....u try wiki...got a lot of answers for dat...

I just started this show until episode 4. Really awesome. Seems the contractors all have OCD.

The art and episode format reminds me of Ghost Hunt.

Finished this series yesterday. There are too many points not clarified, leaving me thinking there'll be another season.

I find it very tedious/getting boring to watch over 4 episodes per sitting. Perhaps the anime didn't do the same job as the original manga (if there's one).

there is manga... but i still not sure who 1st released...

the manga begining is different with anime... but there is a quote that explain who contractors are... those who have awaken their power n bla bla bla...

LOL-ed at episode 22. Truly a "Kucing Pun Boleh" moment.

Finally finished this series. Very sad.

loli Amber is ftw.

Half way...

Good animation...but....Why cant Japaneses say things straight??

It feels like Ergo Proxy to me!!!!

wah, the series gets damn sad till the end. I was damn shocked at episode 20

Well, if you havent watch full metal alchemist , you shouldnt try it in the future

Its 100 times sadder, you might cry

This anime can and should be longer with so much of potential to expand the story. Surprisingly it's quite underrated here.

The elites here prefer slice of bread anime with yuri/loli undertones like Lucky Star and Minami-ke whereas the others like over 9000 shows like naruto and bleach.

Sadly i am not one of those, i prefer "story style " to " slice of life" anime.

To me, plot and story is the most important matter , of course , i wont despite other type of anime as well. Unless its terrible in human sense....

too bad then...

Its not underrated, just people here dont know how to enjoy it

I love this anime to bits, but I don't quite get the whole point though Same goes with Wolf's Rain which is also by the same studio - complicated yet it captures my attention, but in the end I still asked the same question: "So... what's the anime trying to say again?"

You see...



Don't quite get them.

The only BONES anime I watched and understood was Ouran. LOL

Having said that, I love all BONES animes though. Their plot and story style totally pawn most animes I've watched (not like I watched a lot anyway). Even though out of the 3, I didn't quite get 2.

Hei was given a choice ala Evangelion. Choose the humans, let the beam fire and all Contractors on earth will disappear. He's not a Contractor so he won't be affected and continue living amongst humans. Choose the Contractors, intervene with the gate particle beam to cause the same effect as the Gate of Heaven, where the whole of Japan will disappear from the world and as hinted by Amber it actually still will exist in another dimension.

Hei ended up choosing the "worse" choice which is to choose both Contractors and Humans. So everything is status quo. Japan is still around and so are the Contractors. Everything that Pandora worked for is for naught, same as for Amber. Your question on what is achieved? Probably nothing for now. Probably tells us that being human, our decisions and thoughts aren't so rational, calculating and cold, like a Contractor, and at the same time, do not be "too human" that you fear and ocstrasize others who are different from you.

I haven't watched Wolf's Rain so can't help you with that.

Thank you wolfx! That made a lot of sense, lol. I didn't quite get the essence like you did. Thanks for pointing that out.

i am totally agreed with you bro.

I'm glad it made sense to you because this is just my personal interpretation. Feel free to re-watch and make your own conclusions.
IMHO this kinda ending is not as screwed up as some anime that leaves you guessing. This one kinda gives u all the answers already but its more for you to get the ending. For example Rahxephon i feel was kinda screwed up and there's alot of conflicting theories about it. For DTB though, its either you get it or you don't.

I like Eureka 7 too and though I was happy with the overall ending, I wasn't very happy on what they did to Eureka and Renton. They deserved better than

I Finish the whole thing just now

VERY GOOD!!!!!!

This anime to me is a classic!!!

But.....still dont understand the meaning of the ending.....

I think they copy Evagelion....
Same thing , he drag into nothingness , then suddenly everybody comes out from no where , then talking some crap , then smile at him , then

END!!!

Anyone watched the OVA?

Extra DVD ep always work like that
they will never affect the original PLOT

Heard the rumor about the final episode is ep26, but was been duped..

Not so many fans out here in malaysia,everyone prefer one piece and naruto...I like this style of anime though...

It's pretty good. Amazing character development, not so much on the actual mystery but the show even makes character like Huang lovable.

On the topic of Malaysians, prolly not just naruto/one piece. There's also a whole bunch of people into ecchi/fanservice anime.
