Darker than Black

Ten years ago, a mysterious and impenetrable field known as "Hell's Gate" appeared in Tokyo. This spawned the manifestation of psychics, some bound by contracts and others, simply dolls or even in between. Each "Contractor" has unique powers and is just as mysterious as the gate itself. With the appearance of Hell's Gate and these Contractors, all the stars faded and were replaced by stars that represent each Contractor. When a star is born, a Contractor appears.

Hei, the main character of "Darker than Black," is one of the most powerful Contractors, and like several others, works to uncover the mysteries that occurred 10 years ago. "Darker than Black" is vivid and has great potential. Like "Speed Grapher" and "Solty Rei," for example, this series could be something big, lest it doesn't fall short half way through the series. I am six episodes in, and it could still go either way, but so far, I'm liking what I see. Any BONES production is worth your time and "Darker than Black" is no exception.
