D.Gray-man

Losing a loved one is so painful that one may sometimes wish to be able to resurrect them—a weakness that the enigmatic Millennium Earl exploits. To make his mechanical weapons known as "Akuma," he uses the souls of the dead that are called back. Once a soul is placed in an Akuma, it is trapped forever, and the only way to save them is to exorcise them from their vessel using the Anti-Akuma weapon, "Innocence."

After spending three years as the disciple of General Cross, Allen Walker is sent to the Black Order—an organization comprised of those willing to fight Akuma and the Millennium Earl—to become an official Exorcist. With an arm as his Innocence and a cursed eye that can see the suffering souls within an Akuma, it's up to Allen and his fellow Exorcists to stop the Millennium Earl's ultimate plot: one that can lead to the destruction of the world.

"D.Gray-man" is a captivating blend of dark fantasy and action, centered around Allen Walker, a young exorcist marked by a cursed eye. His journey unfolds against the backdrop of battling Akuma, soulless creatures crafted by the malevolent Millennium Earl.

The anime boasts visually striking animation, especially during its intense battle sequences, complemented by unique and memorable character designs. Each character, from allies to adversaries, enriches the story with depth and intrigue.

What sets "D.Gray-man" apart is its exploration of themes like friendship, sacrifice, and resilience, resonating deeply through the bonds among the exorcists.

In summary, "D.Gray-man" is essential viewing for fans of supernatural action. Its blend of humor, ... drama, and stunning visuals ensures an engaging experience throughout. If you're drawn to an anime that balances thrilling action with heartfelt storytelling, "D.Gray-man" delivers on all fronts.

Mixed Feelings

This anime was literally impossible to watch, it had me for the first 5 episodes, even without watching i loved the aesthetics and that early 2000s feels, but when i did started watching the show i felt that most of the episodes were there to be there, no progression plot wise just episodic with unnecessary comedic scenes and typical “baka” moments that made me want to yeet myself while watching it, the characters i may say some were interesting others extremely uninteresting, almost non of them caught my attention and their backstory were rather cliche or also pretty boring.
The akumas are ugly looking all are ... the same, not even an ugly but interesting design, just plain “what is that”
The openings are amazing, the animation decent.
I would have loved this anime if i watched it back when i was younger,

Oh my god, if it wasn't for this being part of my childhood, I wouldn't have bothered finishing it, I think I would've legit dropped it.

The first 5-10 episodes or so were hype, I really like the vibe and what it's trying to tell and show us, but oh my god, the following episodes after that up until episode 50ish were some endless rollercoaster filler ride. I was watching, right? and then thought to myself "When will the story start picking up?" because every episode is just the same formula, they go to a new place, new side characters get introduced and ooohhh suddenly there's ... akuma in this town and then end of the episode. Soooo BORING! although every now and then, new exorcists get introduced, but still... you didn't need to drag the shit out of this because it got repetitive over time, and then when i finally got to around episode 60, finally! the story started moving and it got a little bit interesting. I don't think i even remember the first 50 episodes of this show, i think i can even recite to you the 2nd half scene by scene because that's where the real shit starts to happen. This anime could've been shortened if you cut out the fluffy parts.

Again, the story... HYPE! but it had some flaws. What i also didn't like is that, it's trying so hard to be comedy, like wtf? Light comedy would've been fine, but it's really trying to imitate that goofiness that you see in one piece, but it just doesn't check out to me at all, because of the contrast of the story being dark and cruel. Also, how can you take this seriously when the show itself doesn't take itself seriously too, because it kept inserting funny moments in serious scenes, even the enemy doesn't feel scary and intimidating at all because of how comedic they are at times.

The characters, most of them didn't even catch my attention at all, no one is interesting because there's not much character exploration that happened at all, so it's hard for me to get invested in any of these characters. I think the only character that really piqued my interest was Marshall Tiedoll, i found him quite interesting, he has some emotional sides to him and his power is so badass. Lavi was that one character that i kept remembering in my head since my childhood because i find his powers amazing, but watching this now, i don't even know what to say and he kept using the same attack as well, we see his hammer having a lot of magic circles, but he still uses the same fire attack, like come on.

The animation really shows how old this anime, it's not that bad, it is pretty decent, so if you're looking for amazing sakuga, you won't find it here. The character designs are lit, it's very gothic, the way the world in here was drawn feels pretty same, they made every country look pretty much the same, except for asian countries and maybe some other well known western ones.
