DGP'S Anime Review: Yami no Matsuei

Also known as: Descendants of darkness
Created by: Yoko Matsushita
Basic Summary:

Asato Tsuzuki is a shinigami with 70 years' worth of experience. He has the power to call upon twelve mythical creatures that aid him in battle. He works with other shinigami in order to help unrested souls; and all shinigami must have a partner. Sadly Tsuzuki does not have one but that is all about to change when he mets his new partner Hisoka; and later on in the story mets his antagonist Muraki. (Who has a odd obsessing with Tsuzuki's body XD) So the story follows Tsuzuki on his many cases and his developing relationships with his new partner and enemy.

My Review:
Ummmm Huh? XD You know this going to be a good ride when you left wondering what the hell just happened.. And at last this is what happened to me when I sat back to watch this anime. Well, perhaps I was raising it up to much, I had heard of this anime and because of the many yaoi vids it's meantioned in, was thinking how great a yaoi series this much be.. Well it does have many of yaoi "scenes" per say but not really yaoi. That was no big deal, I Love animes without yaoi so I sat and watched.
....I didn't like it all that much. The animation was great, the characters well done(May I meantion how insane Muraki is..But why do I love him so?!) but the plot seemed fast. Ya, I know this anime was only thirteen episodes long but I have watch anime this long before and never felt rushed. Alot of the time I was left in confusing about what was going in the episode until it was all explained at the end. Also through out the episode I was left bored and waiting for the yaoi to happen XD So Ya i Didn't like it. The plot of death gods protecting lost souls, rape scenes(Yes RAPE scenes), and a "everybody wants him uke" (Cough Tsuzuki cough) didn't work out well. I really think it would have worked better with more episodes to grow it out. Like one think it was really quick (Like what one episode?) that we learn Hisoka's past? I mean really. The could have waited till we got to know the character before stuffing his past down your mouths. (sigh) They were many things I didn't like, for one some characters were given only small parts and we never really got to know them..and it was really hard remembering names.. Way to many long names XD All in all I would have liked more glasses-guy scenes.. WHAT IS HIS NAME? XD
I being really hard on this anime aren't I XD? But I tell you two things I like about Muraki (He was creepy but oh so cool..XD) and Tsuzuki. I loved the relation between these two and also I was left wondering what the hell Muraki was.. He most likey not human XD
So all in all I didn't like this anime very much D: I did like Muraki and the yaoi Scenes but that's about it. But I say that maybe someone out there can get something out of it. I heard there was going to be a second season.. Maybe I'll check it out.

Rating: 3 Muraki's evil smiles out of ten
