I've just watched the first four episodes of Bones new anime series Darker Than Black. I'm hopeful. Bones has made some really classic anime series like RahXephon, Scrapped Princess and Fullmetal Alchemist. Unfortunately did their last big series, Eureka Seven, turn out to be a disappointment. But so far is Darker Than Black a very pleasant experience. It's mysterious and dark. I like the way much anime reuse and explore old themes and ideas. It gives the best of them a weird familiar feeling. In Darker Than Black I can find themes that reminds me of both FLCL, Boogiepop Phantom, Ergo Proxy and many others. Let's hope this series turns out better than Eureka Seven.
