Note: The show is called D. Gray Man because it was the original name of the main character until Katsura Hoshino decided that she wanted to change his name to Allen Walker. This isn't reveled in the series. I looked it up.
The plot: Allen Walker is a 15-year-old exorcist. He makes friends with people involved in the program (Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda, Krory etc.) and Allen has a dark past. He fights Akuma aka demons, which are created by the Millennium Earl who makes humans into demons after buying their souls from a loved one. Earl has friends who are with the Noah Clan and they all battle the Dark Order of Scientists, Finders, and Exorcists, including the leading character, so to destroy the world and create a new one.
On one hand I find this show to be one of the most aggravating of its genre. Bad guys are way too overpowered; flicking their fingers and destroying everything and everyone in their path and then laughing at the puny attempts of everyone else. WAY too many villains laugh and smile. It gets redundant and less meaningful. There's a demon that can control gravity. Gravity! Another one literally flicks its finger and nearly kills the main character. That's too overpowered for my taste. The show often falls out of the scope of fantasy and crosses the line of "that couldn't happen" a number of times. And the story drags with almost as much filler as Dragon Ball. I don't need a backstory about a character that's clearly going to die in five seconds. I don't need a backstory of another character you're clearly introducing just to kill off and then milk me for emotions. Get to the main plot! Oh, and that doesn't happen. There are 103 episodes right now, and the show doesn't end. Rather it's an ongoing series and no new episodes are in development yet.
On the other hand D. Gray Man is a compelling tale, with well developed characters, and sometimes extremely funny moments. Yet the humor is several times out of place. A character will die one second and the next second another character will throw out an immature/completely-inappropriate joke and it comes off as tacky. Even with its flaws, I would go out of my way to see more episodes. Plus, I've seen hundreds of animes and this is on my top anime list...see for yourself: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls077558036/
