Movie Reviews of Darker Than Black: Volume Four
Movie Review: Continues To Be Very Good! Recommended!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the 4th DVD in the "Darker Than Black" series. Since this DVD contains epoisodes 15-18, I recommend starting on Darker Than Black: Volume One as there is a lot of backstory not explained in these episodes.
Unlike the first two DVDs, which had 5 episodes each, this one (and Vol 3) only has 4 episodes (two 2-part chapters) and includes some "extras" that I didn't find very interesting.
There is a lot more plot development in these two chapters and somewhat less action.
The first chapter brings back MI6 agents (including November 11) who are working on solving a string of bombings. This one moved fairly fast and also showed us a bit more of Hei's background.
The second chapter was focused around another "Doll" and a group of gangsters. Yin continues to act out of the "Doll" mode as well. We also get to see Hei develope his social skills.
The theme music at the both begining and ending has changed (I liked the old ones better), as well as the opening animation (which looks very cool).
As before, the animation ranges between very good to very bad.
Recommended! The next DVD can be ordered Darker Than Black: Volume Five
Summary of Darker Than Black: Volume Four
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.He may not be responsible for the bombings plaguing Tokyo, but blame is tough to assign with so many clandestine agencies vying to control all that Hell?s Gate could offer. The list of suspects shrinks considerably when a Contractor from the Black Reaper?s past reappears. A new faction is waging war. Their motives are hidden, but their tactics are incredibly bold.
