@TKMike; I know that full well. That is not the problem. The woman head came with the 3rd exorcists to the HQ and is explaining their arrival. Kanda was at the scene when those 3rd exorcists came so why would he suddenly be at the Asian branch? Does he have a clone now? It's true that he went to the Asian branch shortly after their arrival but as the anime presented it, it made it look like as if he went to the Asian branch during their arrival. It may seem trivial but to me the story feels too "jumpy" this way. Like Fai said, there is quite a lack of transitional scenes in between.


Well I've already explained why it isn't true with the "lack of transitional" part and I think I made my point clearly enough. Urs seems to fall at the same category, hence u could read my post when I replied to Fai if u want to know what my opinion is about these "lack of transition" && "pacing is bad". I would suggest agree to disagree if u still disagree with me after reading it.

I won't force my own opinion on someone and I think I explained it enough for people to understand where I'm coming from. Hence it's up to them to decide if they think it makes sense or not.


I noticed your reply to Fai after I replied myself. And while I don't agree with you, it's good in a way if it doesn't bother you.

Well glad I'm falling into the "it's good in a way" category. I try to be objective as possible for that matter or u would see me being annoyed about every similiar situations like the Komui in his office with Bak for example.

So I started this anime like 3 days ago after finishing D.Grayman. By the first episode, I was already disliking the voices and the little things they changed for example lenalee's voice and Crown clowns color. Although, by the time I got to the 4th episode, I got very interested into it. More Noah's? Demi-Akuma? This story got really interesting. I really hope it goes farther than 13 episodes

OMG. All those Noahs. <3 It's a Noah family reunion. Noah family represent! Wisely Kamelot <3 Too many fucking hearts but I love him. He's my second favorite Noah.

I miss Toshiyuki Morikawa as Tyki Mikk's VA, especially when he was in his human form.

Poor Takusa. Bye.

For someone who hasn't been reading the manga, it just doesn't makes any sense. It's like you started watching a movie in the middle of it and you got no one explaining the previous scenes...
Have you watched the original D. Gray-man anime? It would make things much easier if you did. I haven't read the manga either, but since I watched the original D. Gray-man anime years ago, I just think there're too much information in one episode and it's a bit rushed, but I have no trouble with the understanding part. Perhaps you can read some wiki pages to get more background information.


yes, I have watched the anime. And actually a few days before starting the Hallow series I rewatched some episodes. It's just like you said too much information. And I have read some wiki pages. I'll just endure it.

alright... wtf

This episode was all over the place. Nothing really fit.. the pacing is just ridiculous.
Obviously all the characters have new VA's (which is just horrible.. I miss their old voices).. and the animation has been pretty shit so far.

I've waited years for THIS? Damn.. I loved D.Gray-man, but this is just disappointing so far.
What a damn shame.

Things I love about this episode:
-the dream scene is pretty good
-14th scene
-Lenalee scene
-Tyki and Road scene (both sound pretty good, although Road only a line)
-Allen and Marie training
-Fou (she sounds almost the same as prequel)
-Noah appearance
-Allen seeing the soul of Akuma consumed
-Tyki attack Tokusa scene
-Sheryl attack Tokusa scene(he sounds amazing)
-Wisely attack Kanda scene(he sounds pretty good so far)
-Art is pretty good for most of the time compare to last 2 episode

Things I'm ok for this episode:
-Some of the Noah conversation was cut but mostly still on point. The anime mostly simplify the conversation. The manga explanation on the Noah was a bit more complicated IMO.
-The Earl voice(while some part sound strange, but I think I know why it use those sound and tone, probably next episode might get use to it)
-Bak voice(while obvious different, but the VA did a good job in maintaining the same Bak sound feel IMO)
-Some transition scene issue like others has mentioned but at least not too bad
-Some good action

Things I'm sad:
-There skip one of the scene


Overall, I enjoy the episode and looking forward to the next episode. From the preview, starting next episode should have a normal pacing. There should be less rearranging and cutting.

I only skipped through manga so I don't really care but pace of this episode felt very rushed. It just kept jumping from one thing to another and I could care less about anyone here...

Am I meant to care for this new character group? Cause I don't, I know nothing about them.


I had no real problem so far but this episode was weak... And Tyki Mikk new voice so does not work! Where is my charming Noah?!

What else would you expect from a 13 episode series. Sadly, I was expecting it was going to fast paced like this because 13 episodes is not a lot of time to create a plot like that of the original D.Grayman. I just hope that it will be longer.

Like hoooollllyyy crap howard link was just the fucking BEST, like when the harry potter golden snitch was sleeping on his head. I don't think i've seen anything cooler, more amazing and beautiful in my entire life. And omg when he was fighting the demons in the desert i almost spilt my drink out of my howard link #1 fan cup I was that amazed. The sheer brilliance and magnificence of howard link knows no bounds. Like when howard link so compassionately saved that cute guy who got his arms cut off. I was so touched, @sarroush and i nearly cried, it was so sweet. Seriously, howard link is the saving grace of this show. God bless howard link man. Truly a fantastic MC and im so glad i picked up this anime. If you guys like this anime, you should watch the prequel right here seriously worth it for more howard link.

god bless again, howard link 4 lyfe.

Still have no idea wtf is going on in this show. My attention span for most of it is near 0 too since I barely remember anything from the first season. Oh well! At least we have Howard Link to swoon over, right? Huehue.

I should really watch that Howard Link exclusive prequel tho. I heard there were 13 different ones! You gotta let me in on these things bruh!

Introducing a new character =/= being immune to losing/death.

I always disliked the thought of people complaining about: "They introduce a character simply to kill it off." There's nothing wrong with that. It happens in real life too, especially during war. People u met, doesn't mean they will survive for 1 months.... Stop hyping people and u will soon know why they're in this arc. They've a purpose and that purpose isn't to show how awesome, amazing and badass they are like every typical action animes/mangas.

And with that episode, the good things starts. I enjoyed the episode even if it was a bit rushed (even though they adapted the chapters faithfully, I remember the manga having a better pace). Nice to see Bak Chang and For again.

But the Noahs were the highlight of the episode. I like the Earl's new voice, is very wacky, funny and menacing at the same time. Tyki and Road ones are fine. Wisely sounds okay, but weird in his comical parts, and Sheryl is fucking perfect (wanted to see the guy animated for years). Too bad their outfits are so JoJo like compared to the stylish suits they used in the early parts of the manga.

The introduction of the Third Exorcists and Alma Karma was well explained too. And, like the manga, the Third Exorcists being thrashed out by the Noahs was gold. Btw, I was surprised when the small Third Exorcist had a male voice (high pitched, but male), I though he was a girl when I read the manga.

Next episode, shit will escalate quickly.

Some bad animation at times, but meh, nothing that you can do. Road is still best girl<3. I'm used to the voice actors by now, and it really didn't bother me except for Lenalee the whole time.

All this "rushed" is getting tiring tbh. Though I could see how others feel when I say the same about Rewrite. If people thought this was going to be any different, then think again when it's only 13 episodes long (I still don't think it's rushed or even that much rushed.)

Personally, I can't see how it's rushed when the source material itself was basically the same... Unless you wanna call the source material rushed? The only thing the anime did wrong here was not saying "X Hours later" when it transitioned into the fighting scenes with all the Level 4 Akuma (Unless I missed this, but I don't think I did). Everything was pretty much on pace, minus the rearranging and some comedy left out in scenes. Even by these standards, I can't call this "Rushed." Clearly, you don't know what a Rushed anime is. There's great examples of these in the past 2 years.

Apparently he has, and even rates it a 10. It makes complete sense even if you haven't read the manga, so... Idk what he's going on about

Whoahoho said:
Ok so what is this Alma Karma thing anyways?

It'll be explained later. But if you want to know...


The new episode was great. you could always keep up and understand what was going on. I was just confused when they went from zero fights to that. It just escalated real quick. Like at one moment everything was lovey-dovey and sunshines and next you got the apocalypse coming at you. And it's kinda hard when you're used to 101 episodes and then go to 13.

HOLY **** this episode. Pure epic win win!!! Katsura Hoshino is genius. I loved every minute of this episode. I dont understand why this show is sooooo underrated :/
8.01??? Why not 10/10??

Third Exorcist?? damn! That reminds me of Bleach!! Exorcist=Shinigami and 3rd Exo=Quincy, wow.

Noah gathering!! oh My D:o
Reminds me of Jesus twelve apostle. Plagiarism, Katsura.

This is getting crazier each episode. D.Gray man is truly a masterpiece animu!!!

Those eyes. Whose are they?
Lenalee saw the face.
Tyki and Road.
Timothy will become Klaud's apprentice. Emilia.
Renny Epstain.
Goushi.
Half-akuma?
3rd exorcists?
They dead.
35 years?
Earl!
Noah!
Tryd. Joyd. Desires. Feedra. Mercyma. Road. Bondom. Lustol. Mightra.
Wisely.
The 3rds saved Allen.
Oh snap! He lost his arms!
Lulu.
Alma Karma.
They were found.
Oh shit!!!! Tokusa dead.
Kanda.
Dat ending.

Damn it. Emilia was only shown once. But at least she's in the building. I know I'll see her again. Happy to see Lulu again. You see that, episode started off with showing Lenalee legs to the side booty cheek, but they made Emilia wear pants under her dress and hid her pantsu. Stop the Lenalee favoritism.

Woah, slow down a bit... but guess that's asking for something that's not going to happen. They stuffed plenty in just a single episode, like something something about the third exorcists.. and then we got a football team worth of new characters.. the new Noah's. Now they're wrecking havoc like the usual.

Also have to say this loud.. Tyki's new voice is HORRIBLE. Doesn't even feel like the same character anymore.

watching this season right after rewatching the previous one and i don't get the 'rushed' feeling at all. perhaps since i'm not a manga reader and don't know what kind of pace it originally had. and because all the prev info is still fresh in my mind after the 1 season.. but i get that it's a lot to take for someone, who had a pause before seasons. especially for those who watched the first season when it was releasing (2006-2008) and this one only in 2016

so finally the Kanda arc is starting! i've been waiting for it since forever t.t
