That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Boring

This anime is amazing. Darker than black is a neo-noir esque, action-packed thriller about a world where super beings exist, known as "contractors," and the many organizations they belong too, some notably being the CIA, MI6 and Japanese government. The first few episodes don't immediately draw you in, however the tension and plot builds up slowly to introduce the setting. Sometimes it can get confusing, and I had to pause to google terminology due to the fact that not everything is explained fully. However, the animation is clean & simple and the soundtrack is jazzy. What I enjoyed the most about this series is how interesting the main character is. Hei is a powerful contractor working for a secret organization. His daytime identity is Li Shengshun, a Chinese exchange student. What's interesting about him is that although he is extremely bad-ass, he is also has an emotional side unlike most contractors and can make mistakes. He's not super-powered like some anime protagonists. This anime is not completely centered on Hei, but more on the different organizations and groups and how they interact. Which also gives him an air of mystery, as we do not know what he is doing. Overall, the anime is great, dark in tone and has a great plot. It's set of characters are very three dimensional (it's nice to have female characters that have actual personalities for once). The story doesn't focus on romance nor sexuality, but more on awesome fighting scenes and its mysterious plot. 10/10

I ran across this by chance and was immediately hooked. Its starts out slowly developing the characters, plot and slowly introducing backgroundThis is an adequate amount of action, humor and a bit of childishness, which may be possibly Japanese culture humor?In any case, the choreography of the fight scenes, the character development, the background, the pretense each characters flaws, etc are spot on in my opinion.I won't go into much detail in regards to the series, suffice to say there is a good deal of fighting, dying and blood letting. The premise is that some cataclysmic event caused the whole scenario to start....present day Japan is the timeline basically..Humans-Contractors-Dolls, those are the three classes of society, whilst the first class, humans, is not supposed to really know the contractors and dolls exist. I suggest buying all the series, getting a lot of popcorn..and watch them all back to back,then wonder why in the heck did they not make more episodes???

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 :)

I came across this anime accidentally, I do not watch a lot of anime, in fact I rarely find an anime that I can truly say I enjoyed immensely, but Darker than Black is definitely an exception to this.I will admit after the first episode I wasn't completely convinced. It was vague and left me feeling a little jilted, but I found out the series runs in a two episode story arc, so of course I was confused. I watched the second and was intrigued. I had to know what happened next. I kept watching and I was left with the same feeling of anticipation. The good kind of anticipation when you know something really satisfying is going to happen. Not only is the story great but the art and animation is fabulous. Very clean and smooth, the movements are fluid and fight scenes are very enjoyable to watch. The character designs are unique, even characters that look similar are distinct. The characters' designs are not the only good thing about them, they are also dynamic with their own personalities and almost every character is likable. I have to say it was actually the style of art that prompted me to watch this show, and it was a great decision on my part. Although the ending may seem vague and leave questions unanswered, don't worry, the is a sequel on the way. Overall, there is no lack of good things in this show. It is hard to describe which is something I find a good quality.
