It's Darker than Black lol, seriously, 90% of anime happens during night and anime is drawn in such a way, even if something happens in all white room, it still has strange shades and dark climate. Sometimes I couldn't even notice what happens in the dark. Darkness is definitely the most important part of this show. Some cheesy romance put into the dark, should be the light in the tunnel, well, this part can be a little silly, but overall a nice idea. Additionally some nice plot twists made it above average watch, I really liked Ishimaru character. You should try it, there is big chance you will be positively surprised.

This vampire romance anime is strange. That does not mean it is a bad show. The plot was very interesting, even exciting, however I felt that the concept was somewhat blunt. Main characters. A sexually opressed vampire detective, a caring girl and another, cool and collected, vampire. They were likeable, though the last two characters could have been better developed. Other characters mainly include honest or corrupt police. One of its strong points was its unpredictability: sometimes it was uncertain a character was even going to survive an episode. The vibe was almost dystopian, made possible by a dull, GTA IV-like colour palette. Animation was not good but expectable from a small, relatively new studio like Platinumvision, and it kinda contributes to the dark atmosphere. The ending was a cliffhanger, so I hope a future season can help to conclude the story.
Overall, a new and interesting, if unrefined, vampire romance anime. Check it out if you like that genre.

I don't understand why this has such a low rating. It's a great quick watch, maybe more for the girls, but still, it was fast and entertaining. A lot of things remained unexplained. I hope we get a second season. I think the story in itself was not superficial at all, just a bit rushed because of a low budget maybe.

A pretty romantic tale of Vampires and humans playing detective?
Now don't get me wrong, I enjoyed this one, but somewhere along the way it just got a little boring!! The first half was pretty good in terms of romance and exposition. However, in the latter half it just kinda got slow and delved pretty deep into the "demon" character's struggle to coexist with humanity, and learning how to control "blood lust".
An interesting series overall, I give it that, however, the setting just kind of didn't do it for me! The romance aspect was decent though. I recommenced this to romance fans who want something different, however do go into this expecting much.

This one flew by. 12 episodes was not enough. But, they packed a lot into those 12 episodes.
This series really shows how ugly people can be. Also how amazing. It captures the fear that people grasp onto with the unknown. This was really not what I was expecting out of the series. It definitely hits a more romantic note than expected.
This is probably one of the better series that I've seen in 2018. I'll be looking forward to more anime from this team, this was great.
Very worth the watch.

A darker sort of a love story.
It was a first for me to see vampires of this kind which seem to be a mix of vampires and demons or whatever else has these huge unsexy fangs. The name "devils" is fitting. I liked the character design which looks kind of fragile, genderless and beautiful.
The story was very interesting though and the end of it left me with some questions. I hope these will be answered in the coming OAD. The overall dark atmosphere was sometimes a bit oppressing but it ended hopeful.
I enjoyed watching this series and am hoping for more.
