D.Gray-man Well I gotta say this was one hell of a series. I started watching it thinking it was 1 of those so-so animes to pass time, but as I got into it, and its story, which btw is very much like BLEACH, it was pretty cool. Art work and designs were great, and action sequences, were good, though I could give some suggestions :P. Comedy and drama were top notch (every 9 episodes was 1 filler comedy episode). So Ive gotten to episode 55, where the story suddenly picks up, after 10 or so fillers, and Im dying to see the next one. Personally, I'd rate this as a buy, cause I know people will like it. An excellent anime. Last updated Wednesday, October 31 2007. Created Wednesday, October 31 2007.

D.Gray-man at ep 68. when watching this series it's important to keep in mind that it's a shounen. the story isn't really complicated, and it starts off pretty okay. things (like plot and pacing) are starting to disintegrate in later episodes with mostly filler making for boring episodes. humor is funny but at times can be REALLY grating, but drama is pretty okay. magic and fighting are nothing too impressive. character design and artwork is pretty amazing. some contrived side plots and awkward execution but not too bad. so, there are plenty of things wrong with it, but not too bad a series. UPDATE: these latest episodes are really starting to bring it. the angst is rolling in and the battles are getting more epic. OP and ED is pretty awesome. TBC.
