Editorial Reviews

A new and deadly breed of covert agent walks the streets. Known as Contractors, these assassins and spies wield bizarre supernatural powers to carry out the dirty work of others. One among these operatives is more mysterious than the rest – The masked killer BK201, the Black Reaper.

The rogue finds himself mired in a clash between many factions, on a battleground where faith and love can bring out the worst in a soul. The fate of his kind hangs in the balance, and the final act of war is being prepared. The Black Reaper will have to face the fact that his most hated rival could be his only hope.

This review is from: Darker Than Black: Volume Five (DVD)

This is the 5th DVD in the "Darker Than Black" series. Since this DVD contains episodes 19 - 22, I recommend starting on Darker Than Black: Volume One as there is a lot of backstory not explained in these episodes.

These are actually 2, two part episodes that continue to develop Hei (AKA: BK201, The Black Reaper) and the rest of his team (especially Yin, the "Doll"). We also start to see some more insights into "The Syndicate" (the group Hei works for) and the shadowy Pandora organization.

There is a lot more plot development in these two chapters and great action. As before, the animation ranges between very good to very bad.

Recommended! The next DVD can be ordered Darker Than Black: Volume 6
