Sorry to hear that.

Yay indeed!

Also, I saw the first 4 episodes of D. Gray Man. I gotta say, it wasn't a bad show at all. It was pretty entertaining. However, it doesn't really seem to have any originality... a "hook" so to speak. I mean, I've seen anime where a naive kid with an unusual amount of potential ability, a mysterious past, a strange, transforming arm, a curse, and even more mysterious and morally ambiguous allies works for a mysterious organization and has to fight evil monsters in order to save the world. Granted, not all of those traits are from any one anime (though I think you can pretty much sum it up with Bleach, Naruto, FMA, and maybe Chrno Crusade if necessary) but it's just the fact that I've seen it all before. This anime doesn't seem to have anything new to offer me (unless there's something later on that changes the whole perspective of the anime).

Also, have you given the Heroes Novels a look yet?
