KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

tailieuduocb 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.

Nadim Gebrael This is probably one of my favorite shows. HEI IS A BEAST OF A CHARACTER. He is constantly switching personalities from that of a silly exchange student to the serious contractor he is which is so easily depicted by his eyes whenever he is done pretending to be happy they drain from all life and it really just makes you wanna curl up into a ball and do nothing forever. If you are looking for a show to really just give you an existential crisis then Darker than Black is your show. CHARACTER ATTACHMENT IS CRAZY. It is so deep as well as very smart and emotionally draining. After watching it for the first time I proceeded to show it to my sister who watched it in one day and was left with no idea what to do with life. This series is so dark (the title is very fitting) with the creator having no conscious which is what makes it so good. You will also find a huge attachment to the characters that remain constant and even those that are temporary. Only thing I wish was different was that there was more to watch, really an amazing show.

Jim Fess The first few episodes are a bit, wtf is going on but it does explain more in depth after several episodes. This show is basically about emotionless people with abilities that have to pay a price to use those abilities and vary greatly person to person. This show is a sorta dark show, i guess compared to what everyone these days thinks of a "normal" anime then yeah it is dark, but to me I've seen much darker lol. There is lots of blood, action, and excitement. My only complaint with season 1 was the last episode(26). I believe it was an OVA but none the less it just didn't match the series at all, for example episode 1-25 is pure logical thinking, no emotion to killing a person for what ever reason they have to kill them. In episode 26(it also takes place before episode 25 id say 23-24)the group of contractors(basically assassins) are all OMG BUDDY YOU CAN'T KILL THAT PERSON YOU COULD GET HURT!?! Its far to dangerous, don't do that, Oh my goodness thank god your OK. It basically just changes there personalities 100% of what they've been for 25 episodes and doesn't make cents lol Other wise season 1 was very good.Now onto season 2, right off the bat i'd say its far less dark, theirs still tons of violence and blood but unlike in season 1 there is a lot of hesitant killing or mercy for the opponents which doesn't really match up with season 1 but it's still very good overall. When i was a little over half i felt i liked season 1 better but after i got finished(includes the 4 OVA episodes, this basically wraps up a ton of questions and explains the gist of season 2) i definitely like season 2 a little bit better. Overall review: 4.5/5 Why not a 5/5, well there are some serious questions that could have been given at least a vague detail.(like payments, and what happens when there not made. Or how they even know what there payments are). There are plenty other questions but this is just one example. I also think there is plenty of room for a 3rd season, because with all the things they left blank theirs more then enough room to do another season possibly two, i really hope they do i wouldn't mind at all! But don't misinterpret what i said about blanks, the series ends very good with a lot of questions but not enough that it makes the show not make cents or bad in anyway.The show is worth the watch :)

kalotaable Darker Than Black is not an average anime. It has something special in it, the story, the characters, the music, the moral, and those feels. I have seen many anime over the years but, this ranks above every one of them. It is supernatural but it stay so close to reality that you get lost in it some how. "Every step is taken at a price, regardless of feelings it has to be paid."It echos in my ears and make me reconsider my actions. Being an anime it describes all the emotions inside a person, what he has to do in order to make the right decision. It is truly remarkable. The dialogs are so meaningful that they make you think about thing. I will always remember what Hei said "If you pretend to feel a certain way, The feeling can become genuine all by mistake." If you want to watch an anime, then i would definitely recommend you this. Darker Than Black?????? YES!!!! Evey life has something darker than black.
