DVD Reviews of Descendants of Darkness - Tarot Curse (Vol. 3)

DVD Review: Sneaky and awesome
Summary: 4 Stars

Poker and gambling are commonly seen in this arc. As is the use of tarot cards. They are often seen on murder victims. There's a different meaning for each one and Tsuzuki and Hisoka have to investigate this in great detail.
Tsuzuki seems to be good at poker -- that is until Muraki arrives later on. In episode 7 part b, Muraki greets Tsuzuki with a bunch of roses with the name Red Queens and Tsuzuki obviously blushes by this gesture. Well think about it. Wouldn't you blush if Muraki did that to you? I sure as hell would ^^;; There is another good scene involving Tsuzuki, Hisoka and Muraki but I will prevent myself from mentioning it to avoid spoilers. You just have to see this arc for yourself. I suppose if you really like Muraki (I mentioned this in my review for the first volume) then you may enjoy the twists and turns this arc will give you, plus you get to see Muraki look good in a tuxedo - at least I think it is a tux ^^;;.

This arc is pretty much about murder mysteries. Almost gives you a Poirot appeal. You'll be left very surprised with who the culprits are. Throughout the episodes, you are easily deceived by what takes place. Like I said there are some surprises and twists lurking among each scene and around the characters. The King of Swords Arc is great. Not only do you see the characters dress well in tuxedos but there is some drama and slight tender loving care (not merely male x male implied but between Tsubaki and Hisoka -- quite sweet actually).

Going on about other features on the DVD well there is a fun facts video. What this is episode 7 in dubbed only version and speech bubbles, as well as a Puppy Tsuzuki (^.^) pop up on the screen to tell you some small facts about Japanese culture as well as Seiyuu information (Japanese and American, that is). As the name states it is fun but unless you're really not in the mood to listen to the dubbed voices then the video may not be as enjoyable. Still, there's no harm in watching it once and that's it, especially if you want to learn some facts.
