The Boss
"The <a href="http://www.d-black.net/">official website for the Darker Than Black: Ryūsei no Gemini </a>television anime series has opened with a 15-second promotional video. The series premieres in Japan this October as the sequel to Tensai Okamura and BONES' original Darker than BLACK science-fiction adventure series from 2007. The story continues two years later and follows the main characters Hiei and Yin on the run as they encounter a Russian-Japanese girl named Suō Pavlichenko.

Original character designer Yuji Iwahara, anime character designer and chief animation director Takahiro Komori, and most of the main staff return, although Yasushi Ishii (Hellsing) is now listed as the musical composer instead of Yoko Kanno. A wallpaper for personal computers had been posted in three sizes."

The series is available from Manga in the UK.

Still wasn't aware that Darker then BLACK had a sequel series, it looks a little intresting from that glimspe, i'm just waiting for the manga ent discs to have a watch of the first season.
 
Great. The first series was flawed and it took a lot of flac due to over-hyped expectations, but I still enjoyed it a lot. The serious tone of the first half and general style of it were refreshingly offbeat. The fact it never fufilled it's potential always made me think it would benefit from a continutation.

It's also cool to hear Yasushi Ishii is composing - the original Hellsing had a kick ass soundtrack, so if that can be replicated here all the better.
