Darker than Black: Shikkoku no Hana

After rewatching DtB and Gaiden the last few days, and being horribly disappointed with how Gaiden ended and the overall terrible plot line it has, I was super excited to find this. I was prepared to be in a semi-depressed slump at how badly the series finishes up, especially as I had no interest in rewatching the mess that is season 2. But after finding this and reading the reviews I decided to give it a shot. So, so glad I did. This was an excellent way to finish my experience with Darker than Black. Great story, fun new characters, small horror sub-genre, and provided closureeven if the ending was a little open-ended. The art is good, the action scenes are easy to follow, the characters are well done, the story is definitely enjoyable, and the plot was interesting. There is some... typical anime over dramatization at the end, which definitely loses a point from me. Buuut easily overlooked with how well done everything else was. And there's some nice interactions between Hei and Yin if you care about that. All in all, a great read. Definitely considering this the real "epilogue" to how season 1 ended.
