There aren't a lot of supernatural spy anime that I know of, so when I say a preview for this show, I was skeptical. But if you watch the first episode you will see how awesome Darker than Black is. It takes place in Japan, introducing a mild-mannered foreign exchange student named Li, but it turns out, Li is not some wimpy student. Li is Hei or better known as the Black Reaper in the underworld for his skills with blades and electricity. Now, the people who have supernatural powers in this show are called contractors. They can use their powers, but at a cost of performing some task that is similar to an OCD compulsion. They tend to get pretty antsy if they don't perform their set compulsion after using their powers.

That aside, the storyline follows Hei as he works with his team in Japan to follow-through on their assigned missions while learning about an impending threat from a new organization comprised of contractors. It also goes in depth into each character's motivations while not getting too bogged down in the details so that there's no action at all. There's pretty much some degree of fighting in most episodes along with plot twists and slowly discovering more about out main protagonist, Hei who remains shrouded in mystery for most of the series until bits and pieces are unveiled slowly.

This anime is a must see for anyone wanting a plot that's not too hard too keep up with, but still has many surprise elements that you won't get bored with it. ^_^

Hei, Huang, Yin, and Mao make this a great show

Two gates have appeared on opposite sides of the world. With them comes the rise of people with supernatural, called "Contractors". Hei is one of best, with the ability to generate electricity. The series follows Hei and his team as they carry out missions assigned to them. And Hei also has his own motives, to find someone that he has lost years ago...

One of the more memorable animes that I have seen, the storyline is action-packed and the fighting never ceases to be boring. In fact, they get better as you keep watching. The plot is well-written, and the music is great to listen to. The characters are very well developed; you literally get to know who they are and how they act.

All in all, this series is a great watch. You will not be disappointed with this show has to offer.

Hei, The Black Reaper

The story goes like this:
The world has changed. It is vastly different than the world we know today. A select few of the human race have been given specials powers. However, in return these "contractors" lose their soul, their feelings, their humanity. In combination with their special gifts, they are the ideal assassins. They always do the logical thing, and always do what benefits them.

Amongst the many contractors that walk the earth, one strikes fear into the heart of masses: the Black Reaper. Together with his human companion and his Doll, the Black Reaper is under the control of the Syndicate, a mysterious organization that manifest itself into every thing.



As the story unfolds, the answers slowly come out and the plot thickens and its just plot twist after plot twist. Hei, or the Black Reaper, meets many interesting human and contractors a like, each with their own stories.

The story is fantastic as it is complex. The action just never ends and the battles are never dull. Animation/artwork is nothing special, but the character development and the plot twists are really what sets this anime apart.If you enjoy, high octane, action-packed animes, then you will love Darker Than Black.

As always, check out my pages for more reviews!!

Hellow Everyone~!
It's time for another one of my anime reviews.
This review is for Darker Than Black.

I really really liked this anime! The main character looks dull. (Duller than any of the other anime characters on the series I've noticed)
But once he puts one his cloak and mask he become.... a super cool and dangerous phantom of the night~! Man, what I wouldn't to have a guy like that!!!! lol back to the story. OK! Well and the rest of the anime is about his prosecute
** Spoiler Alert!!! click to hide or show**
I thought it was so funny that he meets so many outrageous people! That's one of my fave parts!

Over all I rate it as EXCELLENT!

So if your looking for a good phantom of darkness type character with issues, this is a good anime for you!
