D.Gray-Man

[kAi]

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.

This is one I can't wait for, coming this year. Hopefully it's as good as the manga and keeps you wanting more.

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.

[reminisc]

lol yeah, it's really unsatisfying to have like a series where you get attached to the characters and then realise it's only 12 eps..then ur like gARhhh...dies....


but yah, the picture they have of it in anidb looks pretty nice...=)

Promo by SD:

[Kraco]

Well... That wasn't the most useful promo ever. Although I don't know how useful they are ever. All I can say is that graphics look pleasant, even if of totally traditional modern style.

[kAi]

Well, the trailer had nothing at all.
It's awesome that this is coming out next week!

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.

[Yukimura]

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.

[Uzumaki]

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

[Munsu]

Shinsen will continue releasing the series as only episodes 1-51 were licensed.

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."

[Archangel]

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.

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.

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?

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??

[Uzumaki]

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

[Archangel]

Holy crap but i just started watching this

Will this be like HxH and continue under an OVA later on?

I hope so.

For what i can tell this anime is fucking awesome.

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.

Yeah...

Level 4 demons are pwnzor and more powerful than the Noah clan.
Lenalee gets new shoes.
Allen Walker is the "14th," whoever the hell that is.
Tyki Mykk is alive and doing well.
Road Camelot is alive and doing well.
We still don't know who the Heart is.

SAY WHAT

[animus]

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.
