Ди.Грэй-мен Online

Genre: Adventure, Comedy, Drama, Fantasy, Historical, Horror, Shounen, Supernatural This is one the best animations i have ever watched. It has everything from storyline, to characters, and fighting scenes. The plot is in England at the end of the 19th century, where the Earl of Millennium is trying to destroy the human race by using Akumas (demons) to take over a human body...sounds like a very cliché' idea at the beginning but the story has a lot more to it than fighting. It will take sometime for this animation to become as popular as naruto, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, and so on... But should be great fun to watch. P.s Becareful, very addicting.

I know it's still very early to give a definite opinion of the show, but I think it has the potential of being quite good. (as I write this D. Gray-Man has a grand total of 7 episodes that have been aired)

And just so it's perfectly clear, this contains SPOILERS....

D. Gray-Man is based on a manga by Katsura Hoshino about Allen Walker, who is an Exorcist. He joins the Balck Order , whose mission is to fight the Millennium Earl and his Akuma, which are souls that have been modified into weapons. The Earl's plan is to rid the world of humans. To do this, he joins forces with the Noah's, who are direct descendants of Noah, and are gifted with special powers. But the Exorcists aren't unarmed. The Exorcists were chosen to wield Innocence, a mysterious material that can destroy Akuma. With both sides possessing such power, the war to save humankind has begun, for the second time. (the first being the Great Flood which Noah and his family survived) Allen soon joins forces with Linali Lee, Kanda Yuu, and Lavi, as well as others who join in the fight.

Sorry for the bad review, I'm not much good at these things.

However, I highly recommend this show! It will be interesting to find out if it follows the storyline of the manga, or develops its own story, and a different plot. As far as the animation is concerned, it is very nice. Its dark colors give it a moody feel that is very reminiscent of the manga. A great cast of voice actors was assembled as well.

If you haven't seen it, you should go watch it!

The story was just brilliant. It's very interesting and full of twists. Some of the episodes made me cry (especially episode 56). The last episode was kind of weak for me just because it was left with an open ending. The artwork was so beautiful. The places shown in the anime were just awesome (although some of the places don't look the same in the real world). Most of he characters were so sexy (Allen, Lavi, Tyki, Bak...well I may sit here all day listing them...I'm sure you don't need that). The Earl was so revolting that I was sure I'll have nightmares after watching the anime. In addition to being sexy, the characters were actually very well developed, too. Their growth during the episodes was just amazing. I loved Allen's character...and his appetite was just unbelievable o.O The music fitted the anime so perfectly. It was really creepy sometimes. Some of the pieces were really beautiful and peaceful. "Snow kiss" and "Doubt & trust" were my favorite songs among the openings and the endings. Despite the length of the anime (for me 103 episodes are a little bit too much) it was really easy for me to finish it...and I didn't even want the end to come so soon. I highly recommend you checking it out. I'm sure you won't be disappointed :)

This is one of the greatest animes I have ever seen and I have seen a lot it beat Naruto the story is great it is just so amazing!! It is far anyone it is so good at getting you in the mood for it after you watch one episode you just have to keep watching more and more you just can never stop watching it I would recommend it to anyone. The way they make the demons or akuma look is perfect they make them very creepy and it always fits the mood of the show it can always make you into the story. All of the characters work so well with each other and they all have their own unique personality that makes you like some and hate some which works so well. This is just a great shows you will ever see you must watch it.

If you're debating whether or not to watch this then think no further! THIS SERIES WILL BLOW YOUR MIND. TOO BITS. I am not kidding. That said, though I personally prefer the manga to the anime just cause the anime doesn't 100% follow the manga. Even so, I've seen a lot of anime and I can say so for sure that this is a whole new level of epic from the rest. I just wish this series had the recognition that it deserves. Its really heart breaking to see that it's only rated 7.9 out of 10?! DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE RATING! IT MEANS NOTHING! IT DOES NOT Disappoint! HONEST. I would let you in on all the details of the cliffhangers to the plot twists and mind farts but that would turn out to be spoilers so I'm not even going to start on it altogether for the sake of those who haven't read that far into the manga yet or only watched the 103 episodes of the anime. BUT LET ME TELL YOU. THIS ANIME IS A MASTERPIECE. IT IS LEGEND. GENIUS. A WORK OF ART. This is coming from someone who has completed the Anime and is up-to-date with the manga so I know what I'm talking about LOL. NOW STOP READING AND GO PLAY D.GRAY-MAN~ GO ON~ <3 *Winks*

*Also, sorry if this review sucks, I just wanted to help this get back up somehow... even though I suck at them ^ - ^;

*May contain spoilers*

D Gray Man has a very engaging and somewhat creepy premise that kept me watching it. The manga is not finished and it probably never will be. The same can be said for the anime. Allen Walker is a young exorcist that joins up with a team of other exorcists to stop the Millennium Earl from destroying the world. The show promises so much. It gives us mysteries to be solved, fights with high stakes, and it promises us a great ending. Unfortunately it is just kind of ends and leaves the viewers with nothing. You can read the manga, but it also drags on and on adding more layers that will not be uncovered.

There are some filler episodes in this show. One of the filler episodes is decent and the rest are horrible. I would rather they just titled them "Unfunny Filler" and then I could just skip them. The show has some good characters that I definitely liked and then it has awful characters like Miranda. Overall I like the idea of the show and some of the characters, but the execution of it could have been much better.

Note: The show is called D. Gray Man because it was the original name of the main character until Katsura Hoshino decided that she wanted to change his name to Allen Walker. This isn't reveled in the series. I looked it up.

The plot: Allen Walker is a 15-year-old exorcist. He makes friends with people involved in the program (Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda, Krory etc.) and Allen has a dark past. He fights Akuma aka demons, which are created by the Millennium Earl who makes humans into demons after buying their souls from a loved one. Earl has friends who are with the Noah Clan and they all battle the Dark Order of Scientists, Finders, and Exorcists, including the leading character, so to destroy the world and create a new one.

On one hand I find this show to be one of the most aggravating of its genre. Bad guys are way too overpowered; flicking their fingers and destroying everything and everyone in their path and then laughing at the puny attempts of everyone else. WAY too many villains laugh and smile. It gets redundant and less meaningful. There's a demon that can control gravity. Gravity! Another one literally flicks its finger and nearly kills the main character. That's too overpowered for my taste. The show often falls out of the scope of fantasy and crosses the line of "that couldn't happen" a number of times. And the story drags with almost as much filler as Dragon Ball. I don't need a backstory about a character that's clearly going to die in five seconds. I don't need a backstory of another character you're clearly introducing just to kill off and then milk me for emotions. Get to the main plot! Oh, and that doesn't happen. There are 103 episodes right now, and the show doesn't end. Rather it's an ongoing series and no new episodes are in development yet.

On the other hand D. Gray Man is a compelling tale, with well developed characters, and sometimes extremely funny moments. Yet the humor is several times out of place. A character will die one second and the next second another character will throw out an immature/completely-inappropriate joke and it comes off as tacky. Even with its flaws, I would go out of my way to see more episodes. Plus, I've seen hundreds of animes and this is on my top anime list...see for yourself: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls077558036/

No spoilers - Only the first two seasons of this anime have been dubbed in English by Funimation, an excellent organization that does quality work bringing anime to American audiences, but sadly, those two seasons of the four that were produced by Dentsu and TV Tokyo, are nowhere near as well done as the last two.

The first two seasons, which this review addresses, loosely follow the manga, but include extras and filler that don't have the clarity or maturity of the source material. These extras may come from other peripheral publications that this reviewer hasn't seen, but they bog down and trivialize the story almost to the point of making it boring. I've now seen all the anime and read the available manga (which continues the story long past what has been animated) and the shortcomings of the first two seasons of the anime are GLARING.

D. Gray-Man, seasons 1 & 2, are worth watching if only for the wonderful dubbing work that Funimation does, but their only real purpose is to set up the situations, characters and storyline for the third and fourth seasons. It's a shame that Funimation has not bought the rights to these subsequent seasons, partly because of a lack of enthusiasm for the first two (which is, IMHO, warranted) but also because Dentsu is asking (so I am told) a great deal for the rights to the later seasons, because if the first seasons of DGM had followed the manga as closely as the third and fourth seasons have, I believe it would have been a smash hit.

I find the first seasons watchable, but only once. While I'll go back time and again to watch episodes from the third and fourth seasons, the only episodes from the first two that I can watch again are the ones that most closely follow a chapter in the manga. The fillers bore me silly.

This series is worth a watch, but if you want to do the world a favor, add your voice to the people asking Funimation to buy the rights to and dub the later seasons. I call the first two seasons of this series a 7, but the last two are 12's!
