a5c7b9f00b In Tokyo, an impenetrable field known&quot;Hell&#39;s Gate&quot; 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&#39;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&#39;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. The story takes place two years after darker than black. The feeling is no longer the same. After finishing the first series, people would want to check the sequel out. I would recommend watching the four ova&#39;s first before watching the sequel. For those of you who haven&#39;t seen Ryusei no Gemini and loved the original and its main character, i have some bad news for all of you out there. As muchit looks that Hei is the main character, he is actually not. This series does involve Hei and completely explains the gap that has been left in the original and the ova&#39;s,however, Hei is only the supporting character. The story is actually about this Russian girl who is the copy of her brother. Her brother is a contractor since birth and has the ability to make things out of nothing. Somehow that involves making copies of anything. Due to certain events getting unfolded, She ends up traveling with Hei,who is searching for Yin,toward Tokyo to find her brother who is secretly creating another world in which his sister can live in. That is practically the importance of the series.But like i said. It does explain a lot more and ends the series in a happy tone. 6.5 out of 10 and no more sequels please :) I&#39;d give a 8.5 if I could. This anime has one of the most cool characters I&#39;ve seen in anime, Hei. The dude&#39;s attitude carries this show, but that&#39;s not to distract from the other characters. All of the main four, even the girl who rarely says a thing (I really enjoyed the episode focused on her) are a blast.<br/><br/>The series is done in hour long vignettes, something not normally done in anime… and it takes the creators a little bit to get used to it. The first 7 or so episodes of this show were average and forgettable, but give DTB time and it finds it&#39;s place. Keep in mind, the beginning episodes are still necessary viewing for the mood and background it sets. <br/><br/>So is the beginning rough? Yes. 7.9 worthy? Hell no! <br/><br/>I know many a anime viewer suchmyself who see&#39;s a score under a eight and thinks the show is a pass, but listen up. DTB IS NOT A PASS. This shows has everything to love in a anime and the ending WILL leave you satisfied. <br/><br/>I love these characters, I feel the thought in the writing, it is complex and has a philosophical message. This one moment near the end delivers some of the best symbolism I&#39;ve seen. Truly this show is a powerhouse; a world in it&#39;s own. Even characters who come in for a few episodes have a grand purpose in the study of Hei. <br/><br/>Do not miss this show, it will have a impact on you and entrance you in pure coolness. <br/><br/>8.5/10
