Darker than Black

Darker than Black was an ok series. It tried to do many things, but didn't really excel in any of them. The result was an incoherent story that didn't get much attention until the last few episodes. At that time it was hasted and it just went nowhere. The series had much more potential.

I wrote a review here

The OVA is nothing more than a side story. It's pretty good as a stand alone episode.
 
Darker than Black had potential, but didn't deliver in the end.

It had good action scenes, but the plot went very messy in the middle, I'm guessing due to the creator running off with the script

I liked a few of the characters, but all in all, the show could have done better with some better writing. I won't remeraber this one in a few years.
 
I've never watched the anime, but me and my friend Meggy really love the manga. ^^ lol, yeah, even though the anime was out, I decided to go with the manga.. XD
 
I watched Darker than Black during the summer and its now one of my favorite anime. I do think there were some parts that were a lil bad/weird, but the other parts of the show make up for it greatly. Thats just my opinion though
 
I watched the first 3 episodes on Funi's site, and it rocked. I bought the 1st DVD and it is good so far.
I've heard both OPs and I like the first one better.
A good show right now
 
God this anime is awesome. I finished watching it two days ago. I really like gory, slightly mature anime. My favourite character is Hei (he is so hot >.>) and Kirihara Misaki.
I must say though....the ending could have been better.
 
I haven`t made it through the whole season yet,
and reading the negitive feedback has got me a little worried now. o.O
I really love the animation though, and so far I really like it.
 
That's a good and quick way of summing it all up. I thought the series started off well but then it started to fall apart. It was good just to see the concept and hopefully another series will do something similar but with better execution.
