Darker than Black, Gemini of the Meteor

I haven't really had the chance to keep up with many anime series in the last little while, but the two that I have been watching on a weekly basis are Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Darker than Black, Gemini of the Meteor.

So far, in the past two episodes, we've found a new main character, Suou, whose brother turned into a contractor after a near-death incident when younger. We're still in the haze as to exactly whats happening but suffice it to say that events involving the Meteor Core (some necklace Suou wears and retreived from her brother).

We see our first glimpses of a much more tortured Hei, who we suspect first to be an antagonist/non-main character, but by the end of the second episode, it's clear that he's going to be one of the focus points of the second season as well.

Overall, I am getting the feeling that the episodes this time will follow a coherent plotline, something that in my opinion is an upgrade from before. Season 1 tended to be isolated stories from episode to episode that were just linked by a minor background story that only emerged once in a while. It seems much more like the season is going to be focusing on one major storyline as of now, but I guess we will have to see!

PS- Misaki is back!
