D.Gray-Man

The story of D.Gray-man takes place on a fictional Earth at the end of the 19th century. The plot centers around Allen Walker, a young British boy, who is a member of The Black Order, a secretive organization whose members are known as Exorcists. The Orders primary mission is to stop The Millennium Earl, an ancient demonic sorcerer, who intends to 'cleanse' the world by destroying all life.

Exorcists are specially chosen humans who are gifted with the ability to control and use Innocence, a divine substance created in ages past to combat the Earl. According to the Order's history, at the end of The Great Flood, 109 fragments of Innocence were scattered around the world. Once an Innocence fragment is matched to its compatible user, it can become a weapon or tool for the user to wield in the battle against the Earl.

The Earl also utilizes an army of demonic creatures called Akuma to do his bidding. Akuma are created by taking advantage of someone's grief over the death of a loved one. The Earl tricks individuals into bringing their loved one back to life through a skeletal 'doll', only to have that doll kill them and turn them into an Akuma with the soul of the dead loved one trapped inside. Akuma are able to evolve and with each new level grow more intelligent, powerful, and sadistic. Since Akuma can impersonate humans to blend in, Exorcists are rountinely assigned to track down and eliminate them.

Lol.The Akuma is quite interesting.

How Akuma is born: E.g. A boy's mother is dead,the boy can't accept the fact that his mother is gone.The Earl comes to the boy and says that he can call his mother's soul back,but he need the boy's connection.The Earl shows a skeleton on a frame and then the boy will shout for his mother.The soul is trapped inside the skeleton.The skeleton then kill the boy because it has become an Akuma,in other words, Earl's toy.

More about Akuma: Akuma is cut off from freedom for eternity. All it feels is sadness. There is no way to safe the soul except to destroy.

Hahas.I was laughing at the part where the skeleton came to life because it was shouting "How dare you turn me into an Akuma!" when the real character is like so gentle and kind.And the skeleton has tears flowing. Later it was explained that the Akuma is not crying because of hatred,they are crying for their love ones,as in saying "Why can't you be stronger!"

I just realise yesterday that D.Gray-Man is aired is ArtsCentral....Hahas.I shall go and watch my Epi 8 now ;D Ciaos!
