D.Gray-man

[BTime]

DGray Man has just hit episode 21, and I've been watching it throughout. The animation has been decent, bit it does tend to drag a bit.

Episode 21 brings something interesting, so I hope it can pull itself up from the bootstraps. I really it want to become something to I want to watch rather than something I download to kill time. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think it's the pacing that's just poor. Elements of plot have been put into place, but not enough to really make me care. Yet.

I keep watching this, and watching this, why the hell am I watching this?

The show almost always seems on the verge of becoming interesting.. But never gets there.

Maybe I can stomach it seeing as it's at least more entertaining than Naruto filler.

It took over 50+ episodes and it finally looks like the show might be taking an interesting turn. I'd like to help you with this Sothis, but my feelings about this show are pretty jumbled. On one hand the characters [Excorsists/Noah] are fairly interesting, but I absolutely hate most of the artwork for the Akuma. Character progression has been next to nothing. I can't even say that I love to hate this show. It's more like I want to grab it by the scruff of the next and give it a good shake.

The past couple of episodes (just finished watching #57) show promise, but I'm not going to get my hopes up. Nothing up till now has warranted a reprieve. Dooom! Doooooom!!

I agree. The akuma really do look rediculous for the most part, and the slapstic comedy elements really do make this anime feel very unbalanced. I'm not averse to comedy elements in dark anime, but they shouldn't undermine the general mood of the show. So far I've given it 3 stars based on my viewing so far, mostly for the great, victorian gothic animation and the bits of the show that conform in mood to the settings. Otherwise it's just a typical shounen with cliche characters.
