I watched a few episodes of Darker than Black
just now, but it’s really not my thing. Firstly I’m not into series that take themselves very seriously, especially when they’re so slow and take forever to build up. Secondly the main character’s dullard act is a little too convincing. Just watching him bored the crap out of me. Thirdly the two arcs I watched weren’t very interesting, simply because there was no reason for me to care. Certainly it’s all building up to some grand storyline that will help figure out what Hell’s Gate is, etc etc, but at this point in time it’s just a bunch of whiners and vicious psychopaths beating the crap out of each other.
I asked myself “Give me one good reason why I’m watching this crap” and came up with zilch, so th.at’s was the end of Darker than Black for me. I won’t go so far as to call it completely horrible, though, since a lot of people enjoyed it. If you like conspiracies and mysteries and that sort of thing, you’ll probably get something out of this.
I think I need something either more light-hearted or more straightforward next time
