Coming from the manga, which is awesome and you should read, the anime coming soon.

Plot Summary: Allen Walker is a young Exorcist who has a cursed eye that can see the suffering of the Akumas created by The Millenium Earl. He travels to England to the Headquarters of the Exorcists where his Master has sent him to meet with the other Exorcists. The battle with the Millenium Earl and the Noah Family vs. the Exorcists intensifies when some of the best Exorcists begin to get killed by hoards of Akuma. Japan takes center stage in this end of 19th Century plot in order to not let the entire human race be turned into Akumas and the Exorcists have the power of "Innocence" that was given to them by God on their side.

Ho... The setting sounds excellent indeed based on that description. Let's hope it won't be a short 12/13 episodes series like the ill trend has lately been so forcefully.

Just watched it. So far it's a good representation of the manga. But at the pace it's going (which is a good pace, I think?), I feel like it'll catch up real fast.

In any case, I have high hopes for this one. As long is it doesn't go to shit somewhere (which I doubt) I'll keep watching.

Wed, 10-04-2006, 03:48 AM

From what I remember the first episode was very loyal to the manga. I hope it keeps it up. Fairly good episode, but I really didn't like the early portion of D.Gray-Man manga, and this episode was no exception. It wasn't until I was a couple volumes in that the series started to get really good.

DDBen

Wed, 10-04-2006, 06:01 AM

Good first episode and it was quite loyal to the manga. It felt a bit rushed though. I want to say they cut a bit of it out but I haven't read those chapters in a very long time so its rather hard to say that and be anywhere near positive about it.

I'll definatly be keeping up with this series although it would be nice if a better group picks it up. SD wasn't bad at all in the subs but it could be done in better quality hopefully they get the ending timed for episode two instead of just the opening.

kAi

Wed, 10-04-2006, 09:33 AM

Hey guys! Just letting you know that D.Gray-man Episode 1 is out! Go grab it from the usual places!

This version is pretty much just a barebones release - we got it out because so many people were waiting for it, we had to get it out on air date, so there's no fancy karaoke (or an ending translation), but for you purists we'll have an updated version out within the week, and all future releases for D.Gray-man will have them. Do take note of the fact, though, that this release is completely translated and edited.

Enjoy!

This was posted on their website, so they'll do another release for this one, and continue to do it throughout.

Kraco

Wed, 10-04-2006, 12:11 PM

It looked like a decent show. I haven't read the source material so I have no preconceptions, but if this continues like this, perhaps with a good plot, it'll be a nice series. And it's always a plus it seemed to ruthlessly kill people as the scenario certainly required such measures.

kAi

Wed, 10-04-2006, 08:16 PM

Just finished watching and it seems to go well with the manga, a good first episode. Hopefully it will follow the manga closely and stop when they get to 26 episodes, I think that's all they could do with the amount of chapters that are out.

I would've liked that they didn't cover people with stars as they got infected or whatever by the Akuma, that was the one thing that turned me off the manga instantly. I just really can't take it seriously when they do that. It reminds me too much of magical girl anime villians.

The animation looks great though.

http://bt.shinsen-subs.org/[SHS-TW]_D.Gray-man_-_01_[DB146C6F].avi.torrent

Edit:

Quoting a post of mine from the Death Note thread:

Don't expect the TW version to be as good as they used to be. They are some random members who called themselves TW. Just about the only original member is the translator, most of the old members of TW don't want anything to do with this group releasing Death Note.

Heck, they are fucking up with the v2 changing official names. They are forum members, not the actual group.

This guys jointing with Shinsen don't even have the translator so they can't possibly call themselves TW, they are all forum members of TW not the staff themselves.

Other notes, they are using "demons" instead of "akuma"... the episode itself spells "akuma" out for the viewers.

Well, I don't like how the wrote "Lenalee" for her name, I wish they went with how they wrote it in the manga.

Well, it was another good episode.

Munsu

Thu, 10-12-2006, 03:49 AM

Actually, that's the more correct way... Her official name is Leenalee Lee, at least in the Japanese manga... I guess Lenalee is the next best thing. I think Viz made her name Linali, which is what the scanlations use, I would've liked that also instead.

So ends the arc that got me hooked to the manga. Glad to see it animated... but it's weird because I can't get used to Allan's arm animated like that. One oversized arm animated looks a lot goofier than a single drawn image.

reminisc

Thu, 11-02-2006, 12:49 PM

haha yeah i agree, the arms looks a bit weird at moments..is it supposed to be oversized? I hope he stops useing that form in the future, cause the gun looks so much better and probably a lot more efficient too!

Allan walker reminds me a lot of Ginko from mushishi, like not just the white hair but how one eye has a problem with it. Especially that scene where he just climbs up the cliff to the exorcist building thinggy, where he wears his suitcase like a backpack and has the coat..lol Ginkooooo!

Indeed. It was totally worthless. Well, at least it means this was probably the worst episode this series will have, as any lousier should be hard to come up with, so the next one should be better (even if the setting sounds quite recycled).

Yukimura

Edit: Allen has far too much trouble dealing with level 2 akumas. And now the girl appeared, one of those human form akumas that you could expect to be higher than level 2, or the level 2s wouldn't possibly be so willing to listen to her words. It looks like a direct confrontation wouldn't be an easy one for Allen (and Lenalee).

Hiwatari

Thu, 11-30-2006, 03:22 AM

actually for SD, if you know some Jap, their translation is not as accurate as Shinsen's that's all i can tell so far with some minimal japanese knowledge.

But for video quality and translation, Shinsen's one is definitely better. The only thing good about SD is that its fast like some others say. That's why i was hoping to see more comments from anyone who has downloaded the other groups for this same series and done some sort of comparison btwn them...

Thu, 12-14-2006, 03:57 AM

Not a terribly impressive episode all in all. I skipped parts of it as I got bored of watching the hag complain and moan how hard her life is. It was also pissing me off how Allen still had so much trouble dealing with a few akumas. Fortunately he got over that in the latter part of the episode.

But even more than that I didn't want to see the ages old cliche of "but you are a human! Humans can't be evil!". Oh yes. Criminals are a myth. Humans would never steal from another human. A murderer? Can't be a human. Nobody could imagine a human could kill another human, after all. Ally with akumas? Really? Seems like a small fish in the pond.

Get over it, Allen. Or let the katana dude be the main character...

Yukimura

Thu, 12-14-2006, 06:12 AM

Lol @ Kraco...Come now, in a show like this one the main character always has to assume that everyone is a good guy except the very specific group that is identified as the enemy, this problem just popped up in Busou Renkin as well.

I thought the ep was decent, though I'm much more of a Lenalee fan than an Allen fan so I don't hold him to any standards other than always winning. That being said...Lenalee's Laser Feet Tornado Kicks were pretty nice. Also Miranda's power was very interestingly implemented though it's effect was fairy predictable (like a lot of this show i'm noticing). If only she didn't have that garbage personality and stupid hair bun to go with her cool powers I might like her more. I can only hope the bun stays gone and now that she's been told she's not useless by people she starts to act like she has a spine.

I've still been keeping up. I've read the manga though so I can't really contribute any "first impressions" in here. I can say that the I enjoyed the Miranda arc when I first read it so it's nice to see it animated. Miranda happens to be one of my favorite minor characters, if such a category can exist :p

Yukimura

Thu, 12-21-2006, 12:40 AM

The Best Minor Characther category certainly exists minor charachter are what bring substance to most animes since so many main charachters are so cookie cutter these days/ Miranda is also one of my favorites in this series, especially now that her hair doesn't look so terrible.

this anime adaptation is very mediocre if you ask me. the manga is awesome, and something just seems to have gotten lost in the transition. this has made the entire D.Gray-Man anime experience downright disappointing for me, and if manga-readers aren't bumping and promoting the show, you can't expect it to gain any sort of popularity on a forum.

i can't tell if the shame is that the creators didn't do a good job adapting it for anime or if it's just the kind of story and cast of characters that you're better off leaving in purely written format... i think it's the former.

The manga for this was pretty good the main issue was it got licensed and that made finding the new chapters near impossible for a very long time killing any fanbase it had.

As for the anime all of the filler is REALLY getting painful. I've always hated Lenalee's brother and all of the episodes with him running around screaming her name are getting physically painful. 18 can be skipped without question but atleast the next arc is manga based.

I browsed some of the episodes and after they get the vampire everything seems like filler, up to episode 38 at least. Series seems to be 52 episode long, so unless they are planning to extend it or do a sequel, there's no chance on doing the manga material.

Board of Command

Yeah, pretty much everything has been filler since the Vampire guy, except for maybe 4 or 5 episodes.

I haven't touched the manga, but the series seems really slow and nothing has happened for a long time. I don't see how they can possibly end it without killing off one of the bad guys every episode.

Well If that post is True it makes the filler at least have a bit of purpose...
to leave more manga for the second season.

The Fillers are aggravating tho, seems to be the new reigning trend in anime....

I wish they would just pause the series when it gets too close to the manga. Why so many anime with filler lately? The only real reason I can think of is just how different Japanese TV is from US TV in its scheduling. Japanese TV has no re-runs, or fixed seasons (at least fixed seasons that I can find), so in order to keep their time slots, production houses just have to keep churning out sub par crap.

US TV has a standard structure: Fall new shows...holiday episodes, Sweeps weeks in February, May, July and November. Nielson Ratings sweeps define our television seasons.... which is good (gives shows a projected Break point) and bad (Big money corps' causing even the local and national news shows to sensationalize in order to compete). Maybe Japanese TV just needs some sort of justified break from a mechanic like Sweeps....but who knows. One thing is certain tho, Naruto, Bleach , D.Gray-man, and many others , would have been a lot better without the random 'cram it in' fillers.

Hopefully December (which is when D.Gray-man's second season is SUPPOSEDLY beginning) is a long enough time to let the manga get to the point that every episode could come from it; or in the very least they could at least follow it a bit closer without catching up before the season is done.

-------Edit--------
I have been trying to figure out what exactly they are trying to do with D.Gray-Man after diverging from the manga so much....

I though tit was to leave more room for the second season.... but after watching this episode I think I finally figured it out!

The production company..... the animators... the writers for the show...they are all sick of their jobs..so..they have decided to destroy what little fan base the show has left to make it so they do not have to create a second season!

BRAVO! a few more episodes like that and they will probably achieve their goal!

I think I am gonna go back to just sticking to the manga...

Series is now licenced by Funimation: http://www.funimation.com/dgrayman/

Shinsen has stopped subbing already and I'm just wondering if anyone has an opinion on the other groups doing this series as I always waited for Shinsens releases.

Order was the best until they stopped subbing at ep 60, now there's Yakuza-Onibaku, Yuuriisan, and Your-Mom.

I never trust Your-Mom, and I remember having a pretty lame experience with Yuurisan so I've been watching YakuOni. I haven't felt particularly bad about my choice.

Cool thanks, I checked out Yakuza-Onibaku's latest episode, it seemed fine except for the crazy small/pink font hope they change it :P

Thread revival!

Anyway, D.Gray-Man just ended abruptly at episode 103. Absolutely nothing was concluded. It ended just like how Inuyasha ended, for those who had the immense willpower to sit through all 167 episodes. The ending was terrible. It basically says, "Okay folks, enough anime. Go read the manga now."

Well from what I hear they are going to resume this eventually. Better than filler for god knows how many months.

this anime adaptation is very mediocre if you ask me. the manga is awesome, and something just seems to have gotten lost in the transition. this has made the entire D.Gray-Man anime experience downright disappointing for me, and if manga-readers aren't bumping and promoting the show, you can't expect it to gain any sort of popularity on a forum.

i can't tell if the shame is that the creators didn't do a good job adapting it for anime or if it's just the kind of story and cast of characters that you're better off leaving in purely written format... i think it's the former.

i agree. the anime seems to lack the touch of its counterpart manga. The pace was sort of slowed down in the anime version of DGM. Especially during the parts where they battled the Noah Clan in the ark and the Generals' battle with Lulubell. In the manga, you'll go "wow" after reading those chapters and you'll feel the adrenaline rush after it. Whereas in the anime, it's not really there. And this was when i read the manga AFTER the episodes were out.

Secondly, i think the background music of DGM has a part to play in it's expression of it's manga counterpart. If you compare it to Bleach, i think the background music in the anime version of DGM fails pretty badly and it didn't bring as much impact as it did with bleach. (watch Diamond Dust Rebellion for instance, bgms were good)

More the likely it will get either OVA's or another TV series. They are simply out of manga at this point and short of filler for at least a year there is no way to get ahead. The manga is only on chapter 174 and the anime covers upto around 160. They blow past a couple events as well with the epilogue they gave so it might be farther then that.

Honestly considering it made it to 103 episodes and the filler/bad episodes are all in the first 51 I can't imagine they don't want to continue this series as soon as they have enough material to do so. They certainly didn't have enough manga left for another 50+ episode season so I'm just assuming they decided to pull it until they do.

K sorry for the double post but i need to figure out a couple of things

More the likely it will get either OVA's or another TV series. They are simply out of manga at this point and short of filler for at least a year there is no way to get ahead. The manga is only on chapter 174 and the anime covers upto around 160. They blow past a couple events as well with the epilogue they gave so it might be farther then that.

They certainly didn't have enough manga left for another 50+ episode season so I'm just assuming they decided to pull it until they do.

Is there any indication they will do this or are you just assuming they will? I'm asking because the "Fin" in the end of episode 103 is freaking me out. Does it mean that the anime is over for good? Or is there still a chance they'll be back as an OVA or maybe another season?

Anyway, D.Gray-Man just ended abruptly at episode 103. Absolutely nothing was concluded. It ended just like how Inuyasha ended, for those who had the immense willpower to sit through all 167 episodes. The ending was terrible. It basically says, "Okay folks, enough anime. Go read the manga now."

That freaks me out too. What if this is exactly like Inuyasha? I never really got it why they didn't end that anime, i mean the manga just recently ended isn't that right? Wasn't that show popular?

Btw i disagree, the ending was the best they could do at that point and if they really are going to keep the anime going then this last episode sure left loads of question marks that are sure to keep the fans drooling until they release them.

It pisses me off that i only noticed this anime about a week after it ended, seriously why have i been loosing my time with bleach and naruto fillers??

Where'd BoC write that?

I stopped watching D.gray man right after the fillers, mainly because I wanted to marathon it later. I was as pissed as BoC at the Inuyasha ending. "She gets new shoes? WHAT THE FUCK? Where are half of the side characters and all those loose plotlines?" I then searched all over the Internet for word of a sequel. I got many hopeful replies that there would be one. That was four years ago, and still no word. I guess we can safely say that ship has sailed.

Both D.gray Man and Inuyasha are incredibly long series with unpopular fillers. And they couldn't be arsed making a fillerish ending (like Claymore), perhaps to leave the fans hoping that there might be a continuation maybe? Or encourage them to move to the manga. I've regained hope that Inuyasha MIGHT start back up, but only because the manga has officially ended, but my hope has risen from %0.0 to %0.2. That said, I'm dissapointed that the D.gray Man series ended rapidly, but not surprised.

I think I recall hearing from somewhere that the manga isn't doing that well in Japan either.

Archangel

Wikipedia disagrees

The manga series has become one of the best-sellers of Shueisha. During its second release week, the volume fifteen of the manga ranked as the second best seller comic in Japan. Most reviewers compared it to a typical shonen manga but praised that at some moments it became more original as well some of the characters have solid personalities.

That's weird, coulda sworn I read from a few responses on animesuki that it wasn't doing well. Oh well, guess second hand information usually isn't the best.

Wait what? Both Lenalee and Kagome got new shoes? lol???

I am very tempted to watch the rest of D.Gray Man now... I can't help it. I HAVE to see this train wreck!

"Level 4 demons are pwnzor and more powerful than the Noah clan." - I am not sure I will be able to handle not seeing this in the anime though!

"We still don't know who the Heart is." Would we have ever found out anyway? Seems like one of those mysteries that aren't really sprung at you until 500 episodes later, and usually highly anticlimactic anyway.

According to my aznv I stopped watching at 73. Better start downloading.

I probably only remember because it gave me rage. Instead of saying, "and we lived happily ever after," or "there were still many challenges ahead of us," Kagome was like "I got new shoes!" and they sprinted off somewhere. XD

NECRO BUMP!

More D.Gray-Man anime coming our way. Seems like it'll be a continuation, yet it'll have a new cast and what not, so not sure how that will work.

D.Gray-man manga creator Katsura Hoshino posted about the new anime adaptation of the manga on her Instagram account on Sunday. Part of the Instagram post reads:

Thanks to everyone who went to the D.Gray-man stage today. As was said in the announcement, a new series has been green-lit. Because the staff will be completely different, the story will be a continuation, but I think it will become a completely new D.Gray-man anime. Thank you for everyone who's supported me until now.
The official website of the upcoming TV anime series has not revealed whether the anime will be a sequel to the 103-episode series that aired in 2006-2008, or whether it will be a reboot.

The new anime, which will premiere in 2016, will feature a different cast. Ayumu Murase (Haikyu!!'s Shōyō Hinata, The irregular at magic high school's Shinkurō Kichōji) will play Allen Walker and Shinnosuke Tachibana (Kamisama Kiss' Tomoe, Overlord's Peroroncino) will play Howard Link.

I was a big fan of the manga for a time, then completely forgot about it. This at the very least has me jonesing to get back a it. I don't recall watching the anime though, or at least much of it, but it may something I'll give a shot once again. Kinda miss the series overall since I recall really enjoying it... but then forgotten.

Anyways, for anyone who cares... look forward for more D.Gray-Man, hopefully with less fillers.

Not sure how much will be animated since really, not many chapters have been released after the end of the original run.
