This is the bridge between Kuro no Keiyakusha (Season 1) and Ryuusei no Gemini (Season 2). For those who watched both seasons THIS IS A MUST! In these 4 episodes they will explain the holes in Ryuusei no Gemini.
(Will update as season ends)
Story: 9/10
These 4 episodes explains about the gap in the 2 years between season 1 and season 2. Like before of DtB, the story is well executed and polished. It is based on the character development between Hei and Yin. Also answers many of the questions that were brought in season 2.
Art: 9/10
Amazing, I would say it is better than both seasons. As this is the 3rd season of DtB, all I seen is improvements in art.
Sound: 8/10
They bring back some of the old and created some of the new. It is crisp, fresh, and rewarding. You are going to enjoy the new sounds and music as well as some of the old.
Character: 9/10
Even though these 4 episodes revolve around 2 people, they developed Hei and Yin even FURTHER. Many development is explained that where questioned in season 2 like " What happened between Hei and Yin".
IT ALL ANWSERED HERE!
The characters are vibrant and round, We understand them and feel their pain and emotions clearly. Like the other 2 seasons, it does not fail to convey their emotions clearly.
Enjoyment: 10/10
There has never been a dull moment in these 4 episodes. Every episode we would stand, worry, and maybe even cry. We never stopped watching and always wondering what will happen further. Surprises always move the plot and the typical story has been rewritten.
Overall: 9/10
If you watched Kuro no Keiyakusha (Season 1) and Ryuusei no Gemini (Season 2), THIS IS A MUST! It will explain the holes and fulfill the answers that are desired. You will cry, you will laugh, and you will shout. This is what true emotions conveyed in Anime is about!

Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha Gaiden is set in the time between Darker than Black: Kuro no Keiyakusha and Darker than Black: Gemini of the Meteor. A Must Watch for all the Darker than Black fans out there! and also not to mention for all the Hei x Yin fans like me.
The story is awesome... as always. It explains everything that left us hanging during the course of the second season, it also explains as to why Hei is desperate in finding Yin.
The art is fantastic, the art for the characters fit their personality as well as the art for the various actions.
The sound is brilliant.. Darker than Black's OST never disappoints me.
I really enjoyed this. Of all the series in Darker than Black, the one I really enjoyed the most is this one. read more

Both have very similar storylines .The protagonists are escaping from an establishment .Builds a base for the series to progress .High on action and emotions.

At first, both these animes have a similar drama component: in order to do their duty main characters have to kill their loved ones, however in Ga-Rei Zero drama is payed more atention to and is more deep than in DTB. Both these series deal with organisations exterminating threats to the mankind (ghosts in GRZ case and contractors in DTB case). Sure thing there are mystical powers and supernatural abilities included. Also, you will feel painfully sorry for main characters whichever you watch.
In case you watched DTB only because of action and fights, it's unlikely you will like GRZ. There is action (actually, half of the series is swordsfighting), but it is drenched with main character's emotions and incertitude . But if you have nothing against adversaries trying to resolve an agonizing dilemma of fighting against their ex-friends, you will definetely enjoy it.
