Late to the Party--Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini

It's been a while since I watched the original Darker Than Black, but it left quite an impression on me. While the ending didn't answer all of the questions that I had about the characters and their world, it was still a great ride with equal parts action, mystery and sci-fi. I was excited when I heard that there was a second season but then disappointed when general consensus around the internet seemed to be that it didn't live up to expectations. But once the Funimation stream went up, I decided to take a chance and see if my fuzzy memory of the first season might make me more amiable to this sequel.

Late to the Party--HeatGuy J

Hey all! In an attempt to bring more content to my blog, I've decided to start going through my rather extensive backlist of anime and review the shows as I finish them. I've decided to call these posts "Late to the Party," since the stuff on my backlist ranges from shows that aired last season that I simply didn't have time for to stuff that aired years ago that friends insist that I must check out. There isn't going to be any kind of schedule to this, since unlike currently airing shows where I can make time each week for a number of singular episodes, the backlist shows are what I watch when I get some spare time, which changes from week to week. Regardless, I hope that you enjoy reading my thoughts on these shows. And what better way to kick this off than to talk about this great example of the buddy cop genre (with androids!), HeatGuy J?
