Jordan: I've just started watching this in the English dub, and it's very entertaining. Although I'd assume that the original story predated it, it's amusing to me that it uses Contractors as a term just like Darker Than Black, and the main characters all were voice actors for the English dub of that show- especially interesting is Kazuma, who seems like a pretty "light" anti-hero, but whose voice actor was the psychotic Wei in Darker Than Black.
By the way, is there some kind of Japanese mythology origin for the word being translated as Contractor?
