-Synopsis-

In Tokyo, an impenetrable field known as “Hell’s Gate” appeared ten years ago. At the same time, psychics who wield paranormal powers at the cost of their conscience also emerged. Hei is one of the most powerful of these psychic agents, and along with his blind associate, Yin, works for one of the many rival agencies vying to unlock the mysteries of Hell’s Gate.

Sounds kind of boring to me. When I watched this anime, I stopped after the 3rd episode and then after a while, picked it up again and kinda started to like it.

-Review and Spoiler Ahead!-

Curiosity got the better of me! ▼

In my opinion, it has a good storyline, it has the details, background, character abilities, life and death situations. However, the show becomes complicated after every episode. This anime is about a world that is similar to ours with the exception that it has gone through a drastic transformation where one day, out of the blue, a wall or barrier called “Hell’s Gate” appeared that separates the people inside and the unknown, outside. In the city walls, there are people that were given special abilities, these special abilities were given to them not by their own choice. It’s just given.

These people with these special abilities are called “Contractors” and after using their powers, they have to replenish themselves by doing different stuff. Each person has a different ability, and with each different ability, comes with a different way of replenishing themselves. It could either be through smoking, consuming alcohol, eating massively, or even eating cigarettes and then omitting it out from the mouth. Apparently Contractors have no emotions, thus they have no qualms when they are to kill others.

The drawing style is okay, a little dull but I guess it can be said as fit for the storyline. Because Contractors are also human, you can’t really know who is or who isn’t until the episodes suddenly reveals the Contractor. There isn’t much background coverage at the beginning but it slowly unfolds as the story goes on in the next few episodes.

Personally, I found this anime going a bit slow for me. However, I can’t say I don’t like it because I do like it but not to the extent of wanting to watch it a second time. Once is enough for me.
