This series, for those who haven't seen it before, is, like the Korean manga-type series it's based on, a mind-blowing experience, and one which has yet to fail capturing the minds of those to whom I have exposed it. At once a reality-bending series, as well as a heart-rending soap, and a kick-ass actioner, this series throws you into the private hell of a small group of people: Kuro, a humanoid Tera Guardian from The Pure Place- a floating Laputa-like island where the balance of the lives of earthlings is kept; Keita, a young loner who shies away from other people, since some who know him end up dead; Punipuni, Kuro's Doberman Pinscher pup, who provides tension/comic relief, and a sounding board for the audience; Akane, a jaw-dropping beauty, and childhood friend of Keita, who suffers for the boy she loves. They form the core of the action. But I invite you to check out the series, and its precedent comic, Black God. A captivating experience for those with a love of ethereal tales of mystical significance, character assassination, and bad chicks with hard fighting moves!

Kurokami does not fail in its endeavor to be a show to remember, great and fun story with some great points and outlook on certain ideas. I recommend this series for anyone who is killing to have a great time and enjoy a show truly worth remembering! I know It's one series i will never forget and rank it up there with my top 5!

If you're not going to take the trouble to dub an American-released anime series into English, why waste time distributing it in the States at all? Most U.S. anime fans would be delighted to buy this series and others, but are waiting for the English dub. We want to be able to watch the beautiful animation and not have to miss all that by having to read subtitles. Anime companies are ruining their own markets by releasing Japanese language series which won't be bought by the majority of anime fans in the States. Do us all a favor and dub them into English so your product will be purchased many times over than what it is now.
