it was ok. lots of violence and blood.=D
it is not your usual good VS evil show. well, that plot doesn't seem to go away.
it took place in Japan on 2012(?) , Taiwan or China(OVA)and somewhere in Europe(season 2).
new character concepts(for me) were:
Contractors are killing machines. hahaha. they used to be human beings but when the Gates(Heaven & Hell) appeared, these beings came into life. their work usually involves assassination and the like. they think rationally but have no emotions. they have a unique set of abilities but once they use it, they need to remunerate(or pay). their remuneration is also unique. some smoke cigarettes or sleep, read or eat a LOT. if this was Full Metal Alchemist, it will be known as equivalent trade. if they don't remunerate, they melt! i don't really know what will happen if they don't pay up. more or less, they die. Contractors don't dream. how sad:(
Dolls on the other hand look a lot like humans but are not. they are usually used for their observation spirits. they can track down anyone through their observation spirits depending on their medium. the medium of the police departments' doll is electricity, so that means they can track you as long as there is electricity nearby. another example is Yin's medium, hers i water while July's medium is glass. Dolls also have no emotions but their are special ones that evolve and gain some of human emotions.
Moratoriums are beings that are half-way in becoming a contractor. they have special abilities that don't need remuneration. downside is: they can't control their powers and goes in berserk mode when using them. Beware!
Regressors are Contractors who have lost their powers.
after the Gates appeared, the world lost the stars. so what the government did (or PANDORA or whoever did it) they fabricated a falls stars. each star corresponds to 1 Contractor. in our time, we will be in awe if ever we see a single shooting star and be amazed if we'll be able to see meteor showers but in their setting it will be a sad one. if you see a shooting star, that means a Contractor just died. much more if you witness a meteor shower.:(
Season 1 has 25 episodes while Season 2 has only 12 episodes. it has a 4 part OAV. the OAV happened in between season 1 and 2. if you watch season 2 before the OAV, you will get a little confused but if you watch the OAV before season 2, there will be less thrill and twists. so, which is which?hehe
there are a few twist and turns here and there. lots of flying limbs and blood there too. shooting stars and talking cats.XD
the animation was average. i like animations close to Blood+ or Kuroshitsuji.-_- the OST was ok too.(love Rie Fu's Tsuki Akari)
i will not be spoiling the storyline here. so go watch it yourself.>=p
