D.Gray-man

This anime is one of those that starts slowly but gets better and better

It's a new concept but very simple and boring. Maybe it was supposed to be more mysterious and ended flat. I'm only on episode 12 but it hasn't grabbed my attention. Maybe it's cause I've seen much better and well thought out anime's with better plots and background music so it's not fair. Speaking of the music I hope it improves cause it's background music reminds me of black and white movies where it's very over dramatic like Dracula black and white rebveal. Very boring and doesn't add to scenes at all and is annoying. Imagine a romantic scene where two folks are making eye contact and it's love at first sight but you hear heavy metal. Doesn't feel right. Anyways back to the main story, the attempts at comedy also fall flat and the action is half decent. Additionally the typical anime second is played out too much. Anime second is where a fight is occurring and they have a conversation that lasts forever during a fight and everybody stops fighting to allow the enemy to do worse things. I literally hate when a fight occurs and people just stand, talk, watch, do nothing to help. I understand suspending reality but jeez there's a limit to that and it becomes ridiculous. I don't think I can co time watching it since my patience is at its limit cause I keep expecting something to grab my attention and curiosity. Action alone is worthless without a good story and characters. Most if not all the characters are bland in my opinion. Even the villains just annoy me instead of thinking oh wow impressive and complex it's just worthless talk and inaction and the obviously overpowered bad guys and underpowered good guys who struggle for no real reasons other than not acting when they can and talking when they shouldn't. Lastly I'll say this review is in line with a grown person's viewpoint and not a kid or teen who may be entertained with this anime. The writing may be for a younger viewer who won't care about how bland or boring these characters are to an older crowd and they will appreciate the childish comedy and type of writing.

After a promising start, the plot has become more and more confusing as if it doesn't know where to end. Nice graphics department and characters. It could have been much more but in the end the series was cut short by the hiccup continuation of the manga that literally ended the plot.

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 ^ - ^;

I love this show, it has even got me to start reading the manga. This show presents an amazing story with character development and growths that aren't ridiculous. Further more it doesn't rely on the sexualisation of females for popularity, even the Noah for lust isnt. I like this because it shows the characters individually and doesn't rely on their bodies for them to be captivating. My only complaint is Lulubell attacks arc, I hate it personally and juts isnt that good all round. But other than that this show is a master piece and has received amazing treatment.
