The story Darker than Black delivers well on its own premise. A sense of attachment that gives the already sorrow setting a rugged feel to it. The characters fit nicely in the surroundings where the four members accent each others characteristics graciously. The world itself gives you the feeling that its balanced which is in complete contrast with the main character who does not feel balanced at al. Which in turn keeps you interested in what he is doing notifying you why you should pay attention to him. The visuals of the show are good if not great. Ive never felt that something is out of place or does not work in how the world is moving. The differences in characteristics when the characters show their true colours feels genuine and gives them a bit more natural feel. A decent amount of background visuals while something is happening in the focus area also makes the world feel real and accents what is happening in the foreground. The characters individual stories and quirks makes the show worth the watch. Each character has his/her motives and reasons why they move and act. When a character makes a choice or move eventually youll understand why or what it is they did. It feels as though there was put a lot of care into the reasoning of a character. Not just for the main character but also every other character in the world. Except there are a few characters where they felt a bit out of place because of their eccentricities. But that can easily be explained by saying I dont know enough about the world to understand any and every character that walks around. If you have been able to read the whole review Ill leave you with a gift. There are multiple ways to watch a show you can enjoy the story the visuals the characters. But when you see the whole picture that the author is trying to portray it gets its own personal meaning. Something only you may be able to understand. Or not. All in all a good watch. I give this show/anime a 84 out of 100. I would even go so far as to say that I would watch it again if enough time has passed and no other anime can keep my interest.
