D.Gray-man [ Anime/Manga]
Plot:
[adapted 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 man called Mana Walker. At some moment Mana died and Allen tried to revive him with the help of a person called Millennium Earl. Allen revives him but Mana reappears as a creature called Akuma that is ordered by the Millennium Earl to kill him. During that moment Allen is gifted with the ability to control a weaponized form of a divine substance from ages past, called Innocence and accidentally kills Mana. Before Mana dies, he curses Allen's left eye, which later gives him the ability to see Akuma's souls. After that Allen discovers that the Millennium Earl turns to trick those who have lost loved ones to turn their deads' souls into Akuma and decides to train himself in order to stop him. Soon he becomes an Exorcist from the Black Order, a secretive organization which aims to stop the plan set in motion by the Millennium Earl and try to seal all the Akuma. However, the Earl has raised an army of Akuma, created by taking advantage of grief over a loved one's death, and summons the direct descendants of Noah himself, the 13-strong 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 Akuma.

what Leanne got to say:
Considering that I did not follow this anime from the beginning when it premiere on ART CENTRAL [ now okto]
I was glad that I finally watched it when it was shown to episode 28,
a bit late but all was worth it . Better late than never isn't it?
I gradually started loving it , several episode and chapters was considerably hilarious ,
but it was the love that all exorcist have that drawn me to the anime and finally later the manga
there were equally amount of laughter and seriousness in the anime and manga,
although pre-warned , the first episode might be a little to be exact , boring
but if u still continue , laughter will come in ur way.
whether is it manga or anime , although I STRONGLY recommend watching the anime first then manga..
- but it is your own preferences.
I love the parts when Komui go a little bit crazy , or when kanda starts using his mugen and kill something,
also when the responsibility part kicks in.
If u like battle scenes, this might be the anime for u .
