    Every time I watch this, I want to add another star. It's a shame it stops at 10. There's so many layers of genius on this, I don't know where to start. The characters are so varied, yet I can identify with each of them. As different from our world as this one is, it's crazily so similar, and the reasons why are so brilliant and logical. For instance, if we lost our ability to see the stars, how many normal people would actually care? It's cutting, how deep that simple point hits.The only bad part for this entire series is how quickly it ends. This needs 10 seasons, and it gets 2.5. I just keep rewatching instead of going to something of lesser quality. Help.

    I like the uniqueness of the story of this anime. This anime is full of mystery but in some aspect I feel bored because of some boring conversation in some episode. The animation of this anime is good because they used some HD graphics on it. But the color and the style of the anime is like old school.The plot of this anime is kinda creepy. not totally creepy. It gives me creeps because of my excite on what's next.. In episode 2-5 I ask to myself that what is a doll or contractor. they didn't deeply explain some unknown words in the anime so that some of the audience gets confuse.I recommend this anime if you are looking some psychological, mystery and paranormal anime.

    The story takes place two years after darker than black. The feeling is no longer the same. After finishing the first series, people would want to check the sequel out. I would recommend watching the four ova's first before watching the sequel. For those of you who haven't seen Ryusei no Gemini and loved the original and its main character, i have some bad news for all of you out there. As much as it looks that Hei is the main character, he is actually not. This series does involve Hei and completely explains the gap that has been left in the original and the ova's,however, Hei is only the supporting character. The story is actually about this Russian girl who is the copy of her brother. Her brother is a contractor since birth and has the ability to make things out of nothing. Somehow that involves making copies of anything. Due to certain events getting unfolded, She ends up traveling with Hei,who is searching for Yin,toward Tokyo to find her brother who is secretly creating another world in which his sister can live in. That is practically the importance of the series.But like i said. It does explain a lot more and ends the series in a happy tone. 6.5 out of 10 and no more sequels please :)

    When I started watching this series on Funimation's YouTube Channel I wasn't sure if I'd like it or not but by the time I'd watched half a dozen episodes I was hooked, indeed I liked it enough to buy the series on DVD; at no point while watching the remaining episodes did I regret my purchase.The world of 'Darker than Black' is different to our own; two meteorites have struck Earth, one in South America and the other in Tokyo. Around the impact sites two areas knows as Heaven's Gate and Hell's Gate appeared. Fives years previously something happened in South America and Heaven's Gate disappeared along with the surrounding land; people are worried that the same will happen in Tokyo. The Gates aren't the only strange things; some people have become 'contractors', people with strange powers who kill each other and other people. There is however a price to pay, each time a contractor uses his power he must pay a price; one must smoke despite hating cigarettes, another must eat and one must break a finger. The story follows one of these; a Chinese student called Hei, he is part of an organisation called the Syndicate. He was somehow involved in the Heaven's Gate incident and the authorities fear that something similar will happen in Tokyo.There is an interesting array of characters besides Hei; he frequently works with Yin, an enigmatic and apparently emotionless girl; Huang, the human member of the team and Mao who is trapped in the body of a cat. As well as the Syndicate there is a policewoman who is investigating the contractors and a group from MI6 whose motives are unknown at first. The series is not as dark as the series suggests but it is a lot of fun; combining mystery, action and a touch of humour in an entertaining way. The animation looks good with good character designs and flowing movement. While it isn't too violent there is some which is quite bloody making it unsuitable for younger viewers although I doubt it would appeal to them anyway.
