Status: Anime - Complete (103 episodes) Manga - Ongoing
Premise: At the turn of the 20th century there exists an organization responsible for the preservation of the human race from a grave threat known as the Millennium Earl, they are known as The Black Order. The Earl, praying on human weakness, offers to resurrect peoples loved ones allowing them to say fair-well before having them murdered by those they sought to bring back and being transformed into Acuma; evil daemon like creatures that thrive on the pain and fear of those they kill. The Order, using a mythical "god given" substance called Innocence battle against them to put these tormented souls to rest. We follow a young boy named Allan Walker as he develops as an "Exorcist" (Innocence user) and what secrets his humble past contains.
Thoughts: This title is an excellent blend of humor and serious story telling which makes me enjoy it all the more. To be completely honest the main plot doesn't really take off until relatively late in the series and truly reaches its stride in the manga, but it is a truly enjoyable ride the entire way through.
Prose: Another amazing setting to sink your teeth into, along with characters that are both noble and funny. Good music, good animation, a truly solid production.
Cons: Contains "Filler" that has absolutely no bearing on the plot, enjoyable yes, but if you hear the name "Comlin" you can basically skip the episode without missing anything.
-Notes: The story continues in the manga seamlessly where it left off in the anime, only problem being that the manga is a monthly release schedule so you have some time to kill between entries.
9/10 ( I wish it would hurry up and publish faster!)
