If you watched Darker then Black one then is pretty obvious that you like convulted story with no real explanations, but a great presentation that allows mystery to linger. This is the kind of show Darker than Black is, and it seems like with the second season it has neither change, nor do I care for it to change.
Let’s first start of with the story. The first episode introduce new set of characters who are twins name Suou and Shion Pavlichenko. (sounds russian) Both of them are on a trip with their father in the woods, when suddenly the stars fall and hit them, and in turn changing Shion to a contractor. The story gets more complicated from there, but it seems like a throwback to the first series way of presentation, even if it is new characters; I’m perfectly fine with that. I thought overall it had a mix of light lightheartedness in the beginning to off set the later serious tone like in the first season episode 1.I hardly want to spoil some surprises in store you viewers so I’ll leave it at that.
The animation quality is pretty much off the roof, round the bend, and then some in the action areas and tense moments of the show. Everyother scenes would be nitpicking, but if there are bad things I have to note them nonetheless. Many scenes involving minor characters at times seems like a medium quality presentation, but transition to high quality, which really throws you off at times. Is better to be bad in one area for awhile, because a transition like that you see a drastic change in the character design. Still is minor characters, which would be mean to say they show up a lot, because they don’t. Is a feast of the eyes. The music they choose is on cue, and the sound of every action seems on point, not like cheap anime having no sound in many many areas. (Kempfer to name one) If you just like eye candy then watch it with no hesistation.
Verdict-Darker Than Black never seem destined for a sequel, but it got one, and is a true successor so far. Pick it up for your own good.
