Starting with some seemed separated stories but turn out to be a piece in the chain. The story line of contractor is really extraordinary when it deals with the basic problem of humanity, the equality and rationality of human race. Everything has a price indeed, and would we be able to sacrifice some people for the sake of all others, that is the true fact, and conclude with the most benevolent decision from the people who is thought to be a devil.I have never watched such a good series before, to the point that I have to go up here and write a review about it. So excellent that it leaves me the sad feeling for months to go. Wonderful. I truly hope to see it again for a season 3 or something like thatThe music, people might think it is not so good but in fact contain the main philosophy of the whole anime that we need to watch until the very end to understand its true meaning, really momentum at first when I got the idea behind.

The anime's story is interesting and unique, the animation is great as well.Unfortunately the protagonists remain somewhat flat and uninspiring, the beginning of the show feels very "rushed" and confusing. The audience is just tossed into this world without pretty much any explanation until later episodes about what "Hell's Gate" actually is or even looks like which was kinda annoying to be honest.Instead of providing the really interesting elements or focusing more on the supernatural powers and happenings the creators decided to add quite a few boring filler episodes with a totally irrelevant side story and boring characters towards the later midsection of the show as well. Those felt totally unnecessary and almost made me stop watching the show since it felt like such a waste of time at that point.Overall I didn't hate the show and watched it all the way through but quite frankly: I would probably not recommend it to anyone over other great shows that are in the same genre but just more superior in the way of story telling and action.5/10

This anime series has a brilliant premise, interesting characters, great animation, music and sound effects, engaging action scenes and well written dialogue. It would seem that those would constitute a great anime show. Well, Darker than Black is good but it could have been a lot better, if one thing wasn't missing: Character development. With the exception of episode 13 and 14 (the best ones, in my opinion) where we see a subtle, yet clear enlightenment of the side character Yin, there is very little character development in this series. The great titles like Death Note, Elfen Lied, Time of Eve or even the lighthearted Black Lagoon, always feature an emotional arc of one or more characters. They learn, they react, they change their attitude or moral stance because of the circumstances. We root for the characters, we empathise with them and we get closure when their character arc completes. This is missing in Darker than Black. The main character is conflicted but his attitude and behaviour stays almost constant throughout.If not for the above, this would have been an outstanding series. As it is, it's still worth watching, but don't expect the thoughtful and emotional involvement that the best anime give.

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 :)
