He is the subject of much admiration as well as loathing from DoD fans, and he deserves every bit of both. Muraki gets his own paragraph since no couple of sentences could possibly do him justice. This is mostly because they seem a bit out of place (being two cutesy little talking birds in an otherwise human cast). The Gushoshin twins are the only characters that could really be considered annoying. They don't really add that much to the anime, but they don't detract from it either. Watari and Tatsumi are minor characters who had significantly larger roles in the manga. Hisoka has a little bit of an attitude problem at first, but once it becomes apparent where he is coming from, you can't help but sympathize with the guy. Tsuzuki is a real sweety despite being a little bit dense and childlike at times. Tsuzuki and Hisoka are the protagonists of our story. The series consists mostly of fairly mediocre characters, yet it has what I consider to be one of the greatest villains in anime history. Even though it isn't really a fighting anime, the action sequences should be awesome enough to please those who would otherwise be bored with the drama. The art and music are also absolutely beautiful! Descendants of Darkness has a superb soundtrack which is well worth downloading or even buying! Aside from the characters being beautiful, the monsters and magic are also magnificently rendered. While some of the humor and silliness are there, the anime takes on a more serious tone, capitalizing more on the angst, mystery, and supernatural element of the story.

In fact, I find it to be an improvement over the manga.

Fans of the manga might also be disappointed that a lot of the manga's characters are either left out or shovedĭespite these unfortunate circumstances, I think that the anime more than does the manga justice. Since the anime leaves off where the manga caries on (the manga isn't finished either), the ending doesn't really offer a true conclusion and a lot of questions are left unanswered. Three episodes comprise each of the first three arcs while the last four episodes focus on the fourth. It follows four major story arcs of the manga.

Note: This review has been updated to be consistent with my changing views on anime.ĭescendants of Darkness is based on the manga of the same name.
