gg's interview with Sam P, an anime translator
I happened to stumble over an interview or two that gg (a fansub group) conducted with a translator called Sam P, who works with Crunchyroll among other places. So here's three links: the background, the answers from Sam P, and then an additional chat later. Reading the whole thing has been interesting and has certainly given me things to think about.
(This is somewhat belated, as I seem to be much better at writing down little notes about entries that I want to write than I am at actually, you know, writing them.)

About Darker Than Black - Gemini of the Meteor
I quite enjoyed the original Darker Than Black, ending and all, but I'm still not sure what I think about the second DTB series because I still haven't made up my mind about the ending. I'm pretty sure that the creators intend for the ending to be considered a good one, but I can't decide whether it's a good ending or actually a disturbing and creepy one.
Apart from that, I liked it and it's a good series. It's more straightforward and less wandering than the first one, but that's because the first one was longer and was taking an indirect way to introduce us to all of the characters and their world. The second series just threw us into the main plot right away.
(I have avoided looking silly about several things in Gemini through the simple means of not writing them down here at the time, unlike what I did with Kampfer. Possibly this spoils the fun.)
