Well, if I had to explain my take on Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini, I would have to be this:... watching the series felt weird...
The story, was interesting... different and new... But its got its holes...
Art, sound and animations were amazing. Definitely one of the best I've ever seen in any anime ever made... Truly astounding. Oh and I loved the opening, just so you know...
Characters were pretty good, but they don't explain themselves well... Why was Hei a drunkard? Does it fit his character? What was Suou's drive to do the actions he did?
Really... Everything was perfect... But not refined...
...
and everything had major holes including the story... which hurt my enjoyment...
WEAKNESS
Here, I'll tell you guys what this story is missing. This sequel lacks what Deathnote and Liar Game specialize in: Explanations. You always know how L figured out how to single out Kira from all other people. "He's Japanese? Yeah, this is because Kira's first kill was a Japanese person and he killed Lind L. Taylor when shown on a broadcast in Kantou."
This is missing in this pretty dark and serious anime...
It seems like it wants to be fast paced without the boring explanations, which was a good intention, but overdone... Hei's motive was too vague.... Suou's motives were too vague.. the ending was COMPLETELY VAGUE and well... I didn't really get much enjoyment from going "WHAT THE FRICK IS GOING ON HERE?!?!?!"
Okay... so Shion made a second planet earth? Did only Suou and July move over there? What happens to Kirihara now? How is Yin doing? What was the point of those two twin dolls?
If you can answer all my questions, send me an explanation for the whole show... cuz that is the only thing driving me away from the experience...
