# Where to Watch D.Gray-man

**D.Gray-man streams on Crunchyroll and Hulu, and it's a gothic shonen adventure that pairs monster-hunting action with a genuinely eerie atmosphere. Its cursed hero, grotesque enemies, and slow-building war against a smiling architect of grief give it a distinct, moody identity. If you want a long-running battle series with real personality, it's worth the trip.**

You can stream it on Crunchyroll or Hulu, so most viewers are covered by a subscription they already have. It's a lengthy series, so it rewards settling in for the long haul.

## Synopsis

In a shadowy version of the 19th century, Allen Walker joins a secret order of Exorcists who destroy the Akuma: machine-souled horrors forged by a being called the Millennium Earl from the anguish of the grieving. Allen is uniquely equipped for the job, carrying a cursed eye that sees the tormented souls trapped inside these creatures and a weaponized arm powered by a divine force known as Innocence. Alongside his fellow Exorcists, he races to unravel and stop the Earl's plan before it consumes the world.
