In Tokyo, an impenetrable field known as "Hell's Gate" appeared ten years ago. At the same time, psychics who wield paranormal powers at the cost of their conscience also emerged. Hei is one of the most powerful of these psychic agents, and along with his blind associate, Yin, works for one of the many rival agencies vying to unlock the mysteries of Hell's Gate. The 2nd installment to the Darker than Black series. This follows Suo after her house has caught fire and she crosses paths with the previous protagonist Hei. He is searching for a lost friend and takes pity upon Suo and allows her to tag along with him. Together they start to unveil Suo's past and her relationship with her family. As they dig deeper, they discover that somehow what Hei was searching for ties in with Suo. They soon learn a dark secret that changes everything. I ran across this by chance and was immediately hooked. Its starts out slowly developing the characters, plot and slowly introducing background<br/><br/>This is an adequate amount of action, humor and a bit of childishness, which may be possibly Japanese culture humor?<br/><br/>In any case, the choreography of the fight scenes, the character development, the background, the pretense each characters flaws, etc are spot on in my opinion.<br/><br/>I won't go into much detail in regards to the series, suffice to say there is a good deal of fighting, dying and blood letting. <br/><br/>The premise is that some cataclysmic event caused the whole scenario to start….present day Japan is the timeline basically..<br/><br/>Humans-Contractors-Dolls, those are the three classes of society, whilst the first class, humans, is not supposed to really know the contractors and dolls exist. I suggest buying all the series, getting a lot of popcorn..and watch them all back to back,then wonder why in the heck did they not make more episodes??? 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.
