Quick notes on Darker Than Black, episodes 1-12 and 26.

The Close Encounters communication-music keeps showing up in these last two episodes. This is even more distracting than the fact that the default Creepy Music involves the first few notes in Chrono Trigger's 600 AD theme.

(I have nothing else to say yet because Hulu panicked in the last fifteen minutes of 12, and I haven't finished it yet.)

I accidentally watched episode 26 first, and had no idea that it had been the last episode, rather than the first, until I scrolled down to find episode 2. (Hulu, you are really not set up for watching shows that have finished their run.) I've noticed that as long as you watch the to-be-continued episode sets together, so far, you could watch this show in any order without it making any less sense. It's completely temporally unhooked. Which might explain why, in episodes 9 and 10, Saito and Kirihara seem to have no recollection of having met Li in episode 2.

That's the one :'D Ahhh Li's infamous collarbones.

Oh, if you currently aren't already, I highly recommend watching the English dub.
