Honing in on the appeal of this show can be tricky, as the story doesn't lay its cards on the table in a very expedient manner, so to speak. RELATED: The Best Anime Like Psycho-Pass "The Contract - Is It Worth The Price?" Darker Than Black can't go unmentioned along with the likes of Soul Eater, Sword of the Stranger, or Fullmetal Alchemist. While the series has never been seen as a huge mainstream success, it's one that repeatedly comes up when discussing anime from the 2000s, when Bones was cranking out classics. In this world, a mysterious phenomenon caused the sky to be replaced with a fake sky, where each star represents a person on earth who has become a contractor, and when a star falls, it means that one of them has died. Released in the spring of 2007, Darker Than Black tells the story of Hei, AKA BK201, a "contractor," which is another word for someone with superpowers. Superpowers and anime go hand in hand, and few shows go harder with their superpowers than My Hero Academia, where the majority of the world population have powers or "quirks." However, long before Studio Bones hit big with My Hero, they made another anime all about superpowers, with noir aesthetics and a vigilante protagonist, called Darker Than Black.
