Just came across what I THOUGHT was the first episodes of a manga show.
What I got was called
Descendants of Darkness - The devils trill (part 1&2)
The series deals with the afterlife, lingering spirits, and an agency of sorts that makes sure all is as it should be...from what I gather...
When I started to watch it, it said that this was only a story ark of sorts, and in fact part 1 of the two parts I had, was actually episode 3 of the actual series?

I have researched a little but all I can find is info on the comic it was based on...So, has anyone seen this series (if not, I recommend following along and checking it out) and are you able to tell me what episode 1&2 were actually called?

Thanks for any info in advance.

I found it all on youtube so I'm gonna give it a try. Can't be worse that Bleach is at the moment.

Yeah I've noticed this series on the SciFi channel also, though I tend to stay away from SFchannel anime because I have my own sources of good anime allready. Didn't know that it was based off of a manga but I guess almost all anime series are.
