It really bugs me when a very good story is ruined for various reasons. Unfortunately Kurokami has the same problem. It had a really interesting main-concept but the plot got butchered right after te second episode. This happenns because with such a complexity that a thing like doppeliners has the story could have countless twists and turns but instead of that the writters seemed like they wanted to get everything the easiest way possible. So we have a very complicated plot that could be amazing made into a really mediocre story. I believe this was mainly because of the huge changes that the writters of the anime made in comparison with the manga. I haven't read the manga but i know that Keita is an adult in there and not a high school kid. Also -SPOILER ALERT- in the second episode we see Kuro replacing Keita's heart whne in the anime she replaced his hand. So as you could have probably understood the differences play a HUGE role in what the anime is going to be like. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with that but the writters didn't manage to correspond to such a complicated story and the major changes that they did with the result the plot to be full of plot holes. As for the art well Sunrise is a good studio (it made Code Geass) but in this anime they didn't put as much effort as with their other works. Some repetitive scenes like when Kuro and Keita synchroed annoyed me pretty much.
The openings and the endings were good but nothing really special. There were a couple of good OST's though. What about the characters? Well Keita is a patient of ''the Yuki Amano syndrome'' (that means that he starts off being a complete pussy). I liked that because it was more realistic and I was expecting a huge development. The development came eventually but it was so rushed and mediocre that it really disappointed me. Same goes with Kuro and almost every character of the anime especially the villains who they seemed to me really flat ad with not very powerful motives. Overall this anime was a huge disappointment to me. I couldn't enjoyed it and I certainly couldn't bring myself too love it. Seriously guys if you don't want a very good story to be butchered rigth in front of your eyes stay away from this anime.
