I will start with the Anime "Darker Than Black", as it is the origin of my profil picture and username. It might not be the most popular Anime, but it is definitly worth to watch. It is from 2007 but its still very good and you should watch it if you have not watched it yet.

Genre: Action, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Super Power

Episodes: 26 (2 Seasons)

Short Summary:

It is about an assassins with special supernatural abilities, who kills other assassins who got other abilities.

Long Summary:

It has been 10 years since Heaven's Gate appeared in South America and Hell's Gate appeared in Japan, replacing the once familiar night sky with an fake skyscape. Their purposes unknown, these Gates are spaces in which the laws of physics are ignored. With the appearance of the Gates emerged "Contractors", who are granted supernatural abilities. These individuals are known to murder in cold blood. Their incredible abilities, however, are gained at the cost of their humanity; Various nations and organizations around the world train and utilize Contractors as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable objects and information.

Following the disastrous Heaven's War, the United States lost its dominant position as a superpower to a mysterious organization named the Syndicate.
The story revolves around a Chinese contractor codenamed "Hei" (thats the guy in picture). He undertakes various espionage and assassination missions in Tokyo under the direction of the aforementioned Syndicate. It eventually reveals a plan of the Syndicate to erase the existence of contractors, and a resistance put up by contractors from the Syndicate itself and various espionage agencies.

I would not say it is the best Anime I ever watched, but it is definitly in my personal top ten list. The first season is a way better than the second one, but the second season completes the strory.
