  Descendants of Darkness GN 1 - Review - Anime News Network
The main conceit of Descendants of Darkness--that the land of the dead is run by an organization similar to a police department--has great potential for blending the genres of crime/mystery drama with horror and the supernatural.
Since this is only the beginning of Descendants of Darkness, there's always the hope that the manga improves as it plunges further into the story.
Ultimately, Descendants of Darkness is lacking in some departments, but with a little brushing up, it could become an adventurous and possibly even romantic tour into the land of the dead.

 Collection Anime: Descendants of Darkness DVD Collection - $32.99   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Fans who are used to thе fansubs may find Hisoka's voice a little disconcerting to listen to at first (the American editors realize thаt by the age of sixteen a boy's voice hаs broken), as it is voiced by a young man rather than the rich contralto of thе woman who originally voiced the character.
There are sоmе dark moments, and it can be a bit bloody, but thе strong bond between the characters mакеs it all worthwhile.

 Animefringe: July 2005 - Reviews - Descendants of Darkness OST: Crimson Moon
Descendants of Darkness is one of my favorite anime series, and listening to the music just reminded me again of why I love this tale of tragic supernatural shonen-ai so much.
The aim of any soundtrack is to create and/or enhance the mood, to the point where music becomes a character itself, able to stand alone and still be enjoyable.
The opening and ending songs of Descendants of Darkness are included at the end of this collection.

With it’s flair of pretty boys and supernatural powers, it was a real hit with them with the manga and apparently a fairly faithful anime adaptation, though the manga continues to run past the completion of the anime.
Descendants of Darkness opens with a fair amount of information for the viewer to take in, setting up the premise nicely within the first ninety seconds.
After a bit of playful chastising by his coworkers, he’s assigned to deal with a case in Nagasaki where they think some sort of vampire is killing people and that he’ll actually get a new partner to help him.

 ++ Anime Otaku Fridge :::: Yami no Matsuei / Descendants of Darkness ++
After death, the souls of the deceased must be judged in order to be sent to their place for reward or punishment.
For me, leaving a viewer with a hanging ending is too much of a crime like what Angel Sanctuary did -- leaving viewers on our own to just follow-up the rest of the story in the manga.
Because the very theme of Yami no Matsuei enthralls you into a world of bishounen, so dark and seductive, it could be argued that the hanging ending attunes to the 'mystery.' Either that, or future plans for an OAV.

Together they must solve mysteries and unravel the plans of the enigmatic Muraki, who seems to be controlling both of their destinies.

Having a show that’s fairly free of women is always interesting to see, since they come up with different ways of covering that “gap” of the romantic angle that always ends up there.
With the dark brooding nature of much of this, it works very well and has a good atmosphere, though not quite as dark as the first volume was.
Fans of this show and this genre will be pleased overall with this release, though there are enough minor things that one would wish CPM would have stopped doing by now that can distract.

 Akadot - Descendants of Darkness   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
On a scale of mild to hot, Descendants of Darkness only has a mild flavor of boys love.
It is not a Yaoi manga (as one of the characters notes offhandedly when Tsuzuki contemplates a good night kiss with his male shinigami partner), but it does leave room to wonder.
The subject of death and the afterlife explored from a unique institutional angle, and the sophisticated artwork are all aspects that make Descendants of Darkness something worth taking a look at.
