That’s as far as the synopsis goes on MAL, but it goes a bit farther than that. Devil’s Line is a police drama, romance, action series following Anzai, a half vampire detective. Vampires have dark circles around their eyes, have more sensitive senses and physical abilities, and transform into a monster with blood red eyes, sharp claws, and huge fangs at the sight or smell of blood. Once a vampire gets exposed to human blood, they tend to get addicted and look for more. You may ask a question about Anzai, is it a vampire that is also a detective, or a detective that hunts vampires. The answer is, it's both. Anzai is a vampire investigating vampires. He is part of a government organization that specializes in tracking down various devil threats. Devil are the common name for vampires in the world. One night, Anzai is tracking down a devil serial rapist and murderer. Anzai finds him and stalks him for a while, until the murderer meets with a girl that fits his M.O., Tsukasa. Anzai then intervenes and fights the murderer in front of her, introducing Tsukasa to the world of devils and Anzai.
The rest of the anime consists of the relationship of Anzai and Tsukasa, Devil human relations, and an organizations working to eradicate all devils. Tsukasa and Anzai’s relationship is the most like twilight. Complete with Anzai stalking Tsukasa, Anzai almost raping Tsukasa, Anzai saving Tsukasa from being raped, and Tsukasa liking him back despite all of that. Although, a devil human relationship is dangerous, because a simple cut can trigger a devil to kill their partner. But Anzai and Tsukasa make it work. So as you can see, the romance aspect of Devil’s Line is not very good. I find the devil human relations more interesting. As stated before Anzai is a devil detective, so he has first hand experience with what the devils struggle with on a daily and when they come in contact with blood. The general populous don’t know about devils. If I say anything more it would be major spoilers. But how the world reacts to the appearance of devil's is the most interesting part of this show.
Unfortunately, aside from the stalking that takes place, the cast is stupid. They make stupid decisions and conclusions are very predictable. Information that should be known by doing any amount of experimentation is treated as a brand new thing revealed to the cast. Anyway I can’t recommend for the love story, which the anime focuses on a lot, but for the world. It's also an edgy mess, if that isn't clear from the vampires. The art isn’t very good, but there are times where the animation really shines. The music is not worth mentioning. Characters are retarded and don’t make good decisions, but that's to be expected from this type of show. I give this show a 4 out of 10. This has been PixEFit’s spoiler free, but not really review on Devil’s Line.
