D Gray Man

Plot (From Wikipedia):
Set during the end of a fictional nineteenth century on Earth, D.Gray-man mostly centers around 15-year-old Allen Walker. In his childhood Allen was abandoned by his parents due to a 'deformed' left arm and was adopted by a travelling clown called Mana Walker. At some moment Mana died and Allen was approached by a person named Millennium Earl, who offered to revive Mana. The Earl revives him but Mana reappears as a machine called an akuma (アクマ, lit. demon?) that is ordered by the Millennium Earl to kill him and take on his skin, as akuma do. During that moment Allen is gifted with the ability to control his left hand and turn it into an anti-akuma weapon because of a substance called Innocence is embedded in it and against his will, kills Mana. Before Mana dies, he curses Allen's left eye, which later gives him the ability to see the souls of akuma. After that Allen discovers that the Millennium Earl tries to trick those who have lost loved ones to turn their dead souls into akuma and decides to train himself in order to stop him. Soon after this he becomes the apprentice of general Cross, an Exorcist of the Black Order, a secretive organization which aims to stop the plan set in motion by the Millennium Earl and to save the souls trapped as akuma. However, the Earl has raised an army of akuma, created by taking advantage of grief over one's misfortune, and summons the direct descendants of Noah himself, the Noah Clan, to aid him in his second attempt. Because of the akuma's ability to wear a human's skin, they are nearly undetectable by any human. Allen proves to be a powerful asset as his 'cursed' left eye is able to detect the trapped souls within an akuma. Other Exorcist commonly assisting him are Yu Kanda, Lenalee Lee, and Lavi.

My Thoughts:
I watched this series just recently so I wanted to blog about it before I forget. LOL. Old age I tell ya. Anyway, D Gray Man kind of reminded me of Scryed. Definitely different plots but the arm thingy just brought me back to Scryed, which I enjoyed.

Some of the characters here are definitely not your typical "pretty" characters. Some were definitely ugly and weird looking. At first it was kind of a turn off especially Millennium Earl but you get used to it. The story was definitely great but my gripe is the end. I just did not like the end at all. It was either they got lazy or they were setting the series up for another season. I just hope it is the latter because I thought this was a pretty good one. There were some off moments in the animation but I can easily overlook that if they story draws me in which it did.

I give this a 5 out 5. Definitely worth adding to your collection.
