Discuss the manga/anime of D. Gray Man (DGM). Remember to warn others in your post of spoilers if you post any!
For those who do not know about D. Gray Man:
(From Wikipedia (which has an accurate summary))
'Set during the end of a nineteenth century on a fictional Earth, D.Gray-man mostly centers around 15-year-old Allen Walker, who is gifted with the ability to control a weaponized form of a divine substance from ages past, called Innocence, and becomes an Exorcist of the Black Order. This secretive organization aims to stop the plan set in motion by the Millennium Earl to destroy all life on Earth, thus 'cleansing' it. But the Earl has raised an army of Akuma, created by taking advantage of grief over a loved one's death, and summoned the direct descendants of Noah himself, the 13-strong Noah family, 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 Akuma. But soon, this battle nearly turns into a race to collect the 109 Innocence fragments, scattered since the Great Flood of Noah, as the search to find the most powerful Innocence, the 'Great Heart', ensues.'
The storyline seems simple enough, but explaining it in your own words is a difficult task (there's so much going on at once!).
Currently has 93 episodes (as of July 23, 2008) and 167 manga chapters.
I myself would recommend this anime/manga for anyone into action and/or comedy anime/manga because it delivers both the perfect amount of each. Plus the ocassion giant robot of awesome-craziness :3
So...DISCUSS! x3
