Review of Darker Than Black

What really won me over in this anime is the main protagonist, Hei. I would go that far and say that he is one of my favourite protagonists of all the anime I've seen. I've read reviews of people describing him as a flat character, but in my opinion he's a very complex and mysterious being, that you really want to learn more about. The show follows the same logic with Cowboy Bebop and doesn't give you much information about him or the other cast members, but chooses a few specific episodes to reveal more about them and their past. You might feel confused cause you're gonna be keep in the dark for the most part, but I guarantee you will enjoy the episodes either way. A bonus of this show is the music. There are a few tracks that I'm certain will hit you in the feels and get stuck into your head for days.. It's a show that I can easily say that I want to rewatch, so something right must have been done on that part.

For me, the drawback of the show was that I didn't get enough. I felt there was so much story that could have been told and left unsaid.. Also the second season, while good, paled in comparison with the first one. It had a different vibe and the protagonist became a supporting character, which was disappointing for me, cause I was really attached to his character and I was expecting for the sequel to be mainly focused on him again. Still we get development on his character, but personally I wouldn't mind if the series stopped at the first season. It doesn't feel incomplete and it can stand as show on its own.
