Does possessing a group of human beings of certain qualities differ from the rest make them inferior to other human beings? Does he give this right to other people by exploiting or persecuting them and trying to exterminate them?

What drives people to always exclude and oppress others who differ from them in qualities they acquired without their will? Is it their behavior that is why this group of supernatural powers wants to exterminate humans and consider themselves a higher and better race and must dominate the place and enslave ordinary people? Is this a natural reaction?

Anime presents us with a variety of human sentiments, whether ordinary or supernatural. There are those who want to exterminate everyone who is different and hide them from the eyes of people. In contrast, those who are different try either to live far away in peace or to meet violence with stronger and stronger violence.

Story

Ten years before the start of events in the anime, a mysterious phenomenon occurred in South America called the "Heaven's Gate". Shortly afterwards, another phenomenon occurred in Tokyo and the "Hell's Gate" opened and caused the sky to change and change and to destroy the earth. These two phenomena caused stars to disappear from the sky and were replaced by false stars. On the ground appeared people with supernatural powers called "Contractors Contractors," each with a certain supernatural power and corresponding star in the sky interacting with his movement and interaction. stars.

But these supernatural powers have a high price. Every one of them, when using his own supernatural power, has to pay the price by means of an act of will. These acts range from violent and harmful to harm the person himself by breaking his fingers, for example, Any type of flowers matched.
These supernatural beings have been kept secret from ordinary people, hired and exploited by the intelligence services and organizations in different countries as professional killers because they commit cold-blooded murders or spies for secret information or valuables.

After the war called "Heaven's War," the United States is losing its dominant position to the supernatural powers of a mysterious organization called Soshiki / The Syndicate. This organization is engaged in a secret war by a group of "contractors," one of whom is the young Chinese "Hei" Many of the assassinations in Tokyo for people with supernatural powers with his team.

“Contractors are not human. They’re killing machines, dressed in human skin. In order to keep their risks to a minimum, they make sure to kill all witnesses. They’re liars and betrayers.”

The episodes of the anime seem separate to us at first, and the team is engaged in separate issues. "Every two episodes of a case other than the last three episodes of the first season was a single related issue." But in the background of the issues and events, the story was slowly woven into us and the information was gradually presented to us. Facts and information in the first or second episode, but we have to see several episodes in the beginning to understand what is happening and what is the disaster that happened in the past and what binds all of these and the goal of each organization and team. During all this, they made us follow anime by making things and events enjoyable without any boredom.

The following episodes of the first season are characterized by a single event or event with quick events and a clearer reflection of the "she" and "yen" feelings.

Finally, the second season, which is characterized by fast and successive events, and one related story was interesting with the development of a great development in the character of the heroes, especially He "Hei" and other groups of characters, and the entry of new players from intelligence agencies from other countries of the scene, with a surprise element related to a new person He reveals us in the last episodes of the season.

Characters

“The biggest difference between humans and contractors is their mental make-up – what you might call rational judgement.”

There are many different "main and secondary" characters in this anime, each of which has its own characteristics.

"He / Lee is the main character, well presented, he is one of the contractors, but he showed us two characters. He shows us a regular university student who lives normally and his feelings are normal and changing. When he wears his mask to do his job as a professional killer, But we note from the beginning that this is just a mask and that it is distinguished from other "contractors" of the supernatural powers that he kept Adamite contrary, which made others alienated from this and did not know the reason for that only at the end of the first season of anime.

His team also includes a variety of characters, we have "Huang Huang," the former policeman hating superpowers but forced to deal with them and lead the team and give them orders from the organization, and "Yin Yin" frozen girl feelings that act as a mediator between the team members, Mao Mao " Participated in the operations, all of them were distinguished by different personalities and have well written backgrounds and kept us enjoying the show.

In addition to many other characters, both enemies and allies of the team, each possessed certain qualities and had certain stories in his past or present that motivated him to pursue a certain goal, whether to reach the "Gate of Hell" or join a certain organization.

The development of these characters, whether in the first season or later in the second season, was interesting and exciting. Seeing characters who are supposed to be cold or programmed on a specific program begins by showing different feelings, such as caring for their friends and thinking about friendship or love away from cold-blooded killing. Sometimes he is nice and sometimes puts them in comedic positions.

Drawing and moving

Anime fees are very good as usual studio "Bones", and each character we find her own drawing, do not resemble two characters here and even if we notice some resemblance between some of the characters must be a certain characteristic distinguish them from other color of hair or his hair or eye color. Animation also came beautiful and sophisticated, especially in the fighting footage.

Music

The music pieces are very good in the first season, and in the UEFA and the second season were distinctive, the pieces came to us varied between quiet, sad, thin or enthusiastic accompaniment to the scenes of fighting.

The beginning and end songs for the two seasons also came pretty and I particularly liked the start song for the second season

finally

You will like this anime if you were a fan of superheroes and action series. For me, I enjoyed watching and watching the evolution of personalities and their varied and dramatic and comedy situations in it, but what bothered me is the scenes of violence and bloodyness that some may see ordinary and others may not like them.
