Story 8/10
I'm not going to write much about story, because it's synopsis is easy to find. Story revolves around Ibuki Keita, school boy, who lost his mother when he was very young.Then he decided to alienate himself from the people. Of course after a certain point in the story he is going to change, but nevermind that.
Overall story is enjoyable, but much worse than in it's manga counterpart.And it's biggest flaw is ending,but i'm going to return to this topic later.
Art 10/10
Kurokami biggest advantage is surely art style.
Background is detailed, characters are well designed. Fight scenes are mind blowing - ... it's short anime, but battle scenes can be compared to long running and well recieved series, like DB,Bleach or Naruto. Choreography is simply amazing.
Sound 8/10
Voice acting was done well, with some small exceptions (I'm talking about you Keita). Music is great, rock fits well to this battle shounen and reminds me a little of Persona series.
Characters 8/10
Keita character was changed heavily in comparission to hes manga counterpart and it made him unlikable. Akane was reminding me of Orihime from Bleach series and almost made me to throw up and drop whole series. On the other hand Kuro is one of the coolest heroines in the manga/anime industry ever.
Overall 5/10
Why score is so low? Because of ENDING which left me feeling empty and depressed.*SPOILER* Keita turned out to be a big jerk, Orihime ver.0.9 was alive and happy,Kuro got screwed and whole effort to save her was in vain(in my opinion of course)*/SPOILER*
I'm hoping for reebot of the series, maybe Kurokami Brotherhood ;).
But for now i'm not goind to reccomend this anime - it's whole potential was wasted by last 3 episodes.

After watching some anime series i noticed that most of them are losing their's original concept after 20/50/200 episodes.
And i really don't like this inconsistency.

But in [C:]'s case i'm feeling like it's original concept was dropped after 5/6'th! episode.
Still, it is a great show, with nice music, beautiful art style and great characters.
Unfortunately, ending somehow ruined whole point of watching it.
Why?
It's incomplete.I presume that this show was meant to have more seasons and in it's current state ending is a bit depressing.
But continuation will probably never happen, DVD sales were low.

Still it's one of better shows aired in 2011 and it's worth giving ... a shot.
And who knows? Maybe they will release another season after a couple of years.
