DVD Reviews of Descendants of Darkness - Devil's Song
DVD Review: One Last Poke In The Eye
Summary: 5 Stars
Hidden away in the Ministry of Hades are the Guardians of Death. Their task is to protect spirits on their way to the afterworld and to do in a few demons along the way. Tsuzuki is the star agent although his demeanor is a bit offhand for the seriousness of his task. This bothers his new partner Hisoka more than anyone else, and the intent of this set of episodes is to dispel some of Tzuzuki's apparent self-centeredness.
A violinist's deal with a demon results in his death and the looming death of his daughter, but an unexpected cornea transplant shifts the contract to Hijiri, a young violin student who was facing blindness. Tsuzuki and Hisoka come to the rescue, but Sagatanas is no ordinary demon, and Tzuzuki nearly becomes a victim instead of a hero.
The action is pretty furious, and there's some slick magic to add to the fun. In addition to the story's action, the relationships of the characters are well developed and provide a strong secondary theme. This is a complex story, one that takes all three episodes to develop.
As I mentioned in my review of the first DVD, this is an unabashedly bishonen series. I'm assuming that, if you are reading this review you have already seen the first volume and are past any initial reaction, but the intensity level is higher is this story arc than before. Which means that this series may hit your discomfort zone if you are a high testosterone viewer. But it is a superb example of the genre, well drawn and choreographed and, for all their effeminate veneer, the characters are genuinely interesting, as well as attractive. If you are looking for a bishonen series to start with this is a good beginning.
