[edit] Characters section
I don't think taking all the text for the main characters from List of Darker than Black characters is such a hot idea. Making sure they're constantly consistant with eachother as they each progress toward their own goals will be too much hassle. If anybody really wants them on here, then lets come up with a general couple of sentences for each that describes who they are and their roles. Leave the guts of their character for the page that's dedicated to them. -Biokinetica 07:49, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Split again?
Should we split the page again to Darker than Black media? The front page is getting longer by the looks of it.--Hanaichi 12:08, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- I think that DtB terminology should have a separate article; it'll look much cleaner with only that change. --Iriseyes 14:26, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- There isn't enough 'terminology' to warrant a seperate article. Besides, this article would probably do best if it stayed focused on the series itself, rather than DVD sales. This is the typical convention of animé articles, and this one doesn't have the kind of content-overload like Code Geass that warrants seperate universe and technology articles. However, I do think a media article makes sense. -Biokinetica 03:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Remuneration vs Obeisance
Which is a better term to use? I know most people use remuneration because Syndicate and Sudo have been using it, but I do think obeisance is better. Remuneration means payment as in a salary, while obeisance is an act of submission. Neither is perfect but a contract doesn't honor the contractor...anyway, any thoughts? --Iriseyes 14:30, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way...why is the show called Darker than Blakc? Doesn't Kuro no Keiyakusha mean "Black Contractor?" --Iriseyes 00:00, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Kuro no Keiyakusha is more like a subtitle; just like Code Geass - Hangyaku no Lelouch. - 29dupe 08:56, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- Why not just have a small section that explains that there is are two words which describe them, then when people read it we can stick with one and readers who are familiar with the other will be satisfied that it is explained. Serton 17:18, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

- Whether or not obeisance is an act of submission is irrelevant, as 'submitting' is never outlined as the reason for the payment in the first place. On the other hand, a "salary" does not have to be monetary, it just happens to be the preferred method of compensation because of it's universality. A price paid for the rendering of services does not have to be monetary, it just most often is, and wiki's article on remuneration agrees. Remuneration in Darker than Black is quite literally, a price paid for the use of supernatural abilities. The ability/power = service; drinking the blood of children = price. -Biokinetica 01:05, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Story
The story/synopsis I see keeps getting changed every week I check this page haha... It doesn't seem consistent, and I've seen better versions get edited out before someone else reverts it.. Any ideas?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by GinLime (talk • contribs) 07:45, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Manga Source
There seem to be 3 volumes out already of the Manga, Darker Than Black. Anyway, the manga is being translated on One Manga.com, can this source be used? If not, remove this part. Ge4ce 17:45, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] About the manga itself
The first volume starts way different then the anime, the story's summary so far: (From volume 2)
A year ago, Kana's (Kana Sinou) father was supposedly killed in a mass murder. But one day, Kana's memory and her true feelings about his death are revealed when someone who looks just like her father passes her group on the street. This convinces her that her father survived the mass murder. Her search for her father leads to contractors (Krang), and especially a contracter named Hei. Ge4ce 17:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] 29 hour clock?
Could somebody explain why the air times are listed with times that exceed the largest possible time, 23:59? As an example: "Thursdays 25:25 ~ 25:55"
Clearly, there is no 25th hour in the day...

- Japanese people are weird. They'll write things like "March 14, 25:25" instead of "March 15, 1:25".—Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？ (talk • contribs) 04:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

- Well, saying something like Thursday night when you actually mean very early Friday morning isn't too uncommon, but we normally wouldn't use that in any sort of formal writing. --00:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Darker movie?
I can't seem to find anything for a Darker than Black movie, can anybody confirm it? If not, please remove it.--86.108.51.21 (talk) 19:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
