pros
+ unique with its own charm
+ deep and unique characters
+ humour flows well with the story
cons
- anti-climactic end
- didn't realise its full potential, e.g. lacks a proper foundation
- substories have that "monster of the week" feel

conclusion: may remind fans a little much of cowboy bebop here or there, but it's an own anime and a decent one at that. the plot is okay, with good length and pacing, but takes a while to get going and seems somewhat disconnected (lacks proper explanations, e.g.; and the sub-arcs kind of have that (read more)

Overall, a good anime and worth watching. I felt, though, that this series didn't reach it's potential in terms of the plot and the end was anti-climax. That said, the anime is certainly unique and has it's own charm, whilst the characters have depth and the humour seemed quite to flow.

Firstly, allow me to say that I liked the second season of this series more than the first because the second series was more coherent and was more distinct from other series. In a nut shell, Darker than Black is Cowboy Bebop except that the rag tag team of bounty hunters is now a cell that works for a syndicate on Earth. The music is extremely similar (duh right? both were done by Yoko Kanno), the fight scenes and animation style are similar, both shows lacked a coherent story line and instead focussed on new bounties or missions every episode, (read more)

Darker than black's ok, the storyline is great but what is lacking is a proper foundation for it. with phenomena like "Hell's Gate" , the false sky and the contractors' relation to the stars remaining unexplained throughout the series, the initiated and the unintiated alike may find themselves utterly lost at times.

Animation is top notch tho, as is the dialogue. But so much more could have been done with the storyline.

Guys, if you want a great anime, do not hesitate. Watch this anime. The fist season is great and I liked the main character that is Hei. I've finished watch this anime the previous month and I did not think that this anime was this awesome. Great Story.
