The cast of this 10-part TV series expands as more villains, "Flickers," and mutants, including Nakahara, whose cutesy design and manner clash with the overall gothic tone, join Kyosuke Date and the hard-bitten Shiro. In "Beyond the Human Realm," Kyosuke discovers he may not be the child of the parents who raised him, but the mutant offspring of scientist Tsubaki Tokisaka and the sinister director of the hospital, Dr. Richard Vincent. Kyosuke discusses these questions while battling enemies in both his human and monster forms. Director Akiyuki Shinbo throws in computer graphics, weird camera angles, dream sequences, monochromatic images, negative frames, crucifixes, and still artwork, but the story remains so minimal and the exposition so fragmented that each episode of Soultaker feels like more and more about less and less. Rated 16 Up: Graphic violence, grotesque imagery, brief nudity, profanity, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

Episode 3 from the first DVD made me feel like this series was going to go somewhere. Unfortunately, this second DVD does not live up to that premise. The name of "Soul Crusher" was just too similar to the main character's "code name." And the explanation of where Kyosuke comes from was extremely too coincidental for my tastes.Strangely enough though, I want to keep watching this series. The animation and colors create a darker mood than this viewer is used to from other animes. That's the difference that I enjoy. And I do want to find out where Runa is and if the mother is a "good" or "bad" person. How will she be dealt with? Although there are some negative aspects to this anime, I think you'll probably want to watch more after you've traveled this far.
