What you guys think about this new anime.
I don't really like the new artwork Lenalee isn't as hot anymore :(

And can someone explain to me who's 14th mana and how they are related to Allen.

Thanks

Allen's foster parent was a clown, it was him in his work attire.

Oh, for fuck's sake! Besides how ridiculous is the fact that one uses spoiler tags and the other doesn't, this forum is hardly the appropriate choice for this topic.
Go discuss your erectile disfunction towards anime characters somewhere else.

The description for the anime discussion section says that it is for general discussion not pertaining to a particular series, although it's not always enforced. That's what the forum discussion section is for when you are on a series page, so technically the OP posted in the wrong place. @TiaDee is right, even if he was kinda a dick about it.

I didn't care for the 1st two episodes. So I've dropped it. It's clear the series will be heavily rushed. So I try to avoid the disappointment when I watch, waiting to see scenes animated, only for them to be skipped, or not done well when they are included. Lavi's voice also isn't good. He sounded like he was 10, rather than 17 / 18.

However, even though I am not watching, I do still like to read and see what other people thought, and their praise or critiques on the episodes. So I don't HATE Hallow with a passion. Just didn't care for it these past 2 episodes. I wasn't a fan of the last anime either.

But from what I hear, Shounen manga aren't being adapted very well these days, and are either very rushed, or dragged out too much with filler. Hallow is doing the former. The previous anime did the latter. I hear about, but am not familiar with, Berserk, and some who have stated how evidently the anime adaptation has not been good at all.

Episode 3 was quite good, and extremely better than the 1st 2. At this pace, the next episodes won't be rushed

But I guess you don't care anymore

Yea i think ep 3 was awesome. But i really hate how they look and Allen's personality has changed..... Most importantly i don't understand why his Crown clown became so weak...

...Character development. Both Cross and Allen's character personality were later explained better in the manga but I doubt the anime would go that far

Is it me or does the pacing seem rather to fast. I tried to compare the previous episodes of the 2006 series. and found that it was slower, yes, However, the new series(hallow) is starting to rush. Im having a hard time getting to know the characters... or rather yet, the new characters. some part of me is asking them to slow down the pace so that we arnt getting blasted by with new characters that just come and then die without some dramatic information. its starting to just be "OH SHIT GUYS WE HAVE ONLY 13 TO MAKE EVERYONE LOVE US AGAIN. PACK EVERYTHING INTO THESE 13 EPISODES" thing.

Overall, im not bothered by the art, but rather the animation. also those music scores have started to not wow me like the jusdavi and road songs that where introduced in the 2006 series. However, there is more episodes to come, I really do hope there is another WOW score coming to put faith in the music once again like the 2006 series. Im already 4 episodes in and its starting to blow right past me. its getting hard to enjoy it, when its cramming alot of info down my throat.

I really do hope this series gets to continue. I know ill support it. but i do hope it starts to calm down again and start to pace instead of run right past me.

I actually really like D Gray Man hallow. The voices are growing on me and so are the designs. I also think that the 2 scenes were Nea takes over Allens body for a few seconds are amazing and superbly done!

YEAS IT'S AMAZING! But all of D Gray Man's openings have been good.

Also the author have changed the character designs alot since the begining so the anime producers are just doing what she has done. So it cant really be blamed on them.

As for the new designs Allen is alot more mature and cool looking but at the cost of how funny and adorable he used to be. That might change in the future but for now that's how it stands. Lenalee has changed ALOT! At the begining she was was meant to be hot and sexy but now it seems that she's trying to look cute instead. Dunno how i should feel on that but oh well.

As for the character designs i like: Road. Her new design is actually better then her previous one according to me. Kanda has keept his design pretty well and i like that. The HD kanda looks awesome.

A pretty good start, i think everyone were so hyped up that we all were expecting something out of this world when we heard of the hallow announcement. It's not bad but it's not perfect either.

Hallow isn't THAT, THAT terrible, but when you comes from the old serie that was REALLY slow, it's EXTREMELY noticeable. I personally like tis pacing better and my only complain would be the number of episodes, but yeah, the main problem is comparing it to the last serie because they're just like day and night regarding this. As a stand-alone Hallow would seem "very fast, but ok" but with the old serie before it just seems obvious.

I actually like it better this way since all of the main plot is still here. I think they will rush Alma Karma BIG TIME (which depending of HOW they rush might not be a bad thing) but until ep4, the plot is safe and at least I'm never bored during the eps compared to some eps of the first season.

And the serie will probably continue, even if it's just to advertise the manga, if it has enough support. I guess the current Hallow is also more of a test run so some things are understandable. They'll not do a long anime if it doesn't have any audience anymore. Of course it causes the problem of the current arcs not being the best they could have been for some people, it's sad but not THAT bad.

I never said it was bad, but there has been many moment they realy are over laping info to condense the plot for limited episode consumption. Even in ep 4 they talked of the other braches and they we see this character ive never seen yelling at someone... (First of all where the hell is kanada? Its as if the conversation they where having with the other brach just flew out the window and then somehow overlaped kanada. At first i thought kanada was interally monologuing, but nope... It was that other person yelling at the branch member. Confused the shit out of me.) ... If it is as you say "day and night" there should be a reintroduction of characters or the character plot is going to be a "who, what, why... Oh nvm he's dead anyway" scenerio. In retrospec many of the fans are just going to say " we already know who the chacter is cus we saw him in(other anime/manga)" which is a poor excuse if ppl are defending the " a new light" scenerio.

Even many moment i knew there should be 2-4 sec pauses in many of the scenes. These pauses would of helped in having veiwers catch up in the infomation or action being expressed. However, its starting to be a sequencal frame confusion where you go frome one scene to another without explaining what happened. At first they are chatting. Not even preparing for the next scene... Then BAM... Where fighting... And then this happens... And then that happens.... Etc.
Yes, many moment fullfiled these request. But the the ending of the episode comes and its like watching an anime series that is coming to the end of its season and its got to shove so much infomation into two episodes cus it doesnt know if its getting another season or it it should try to grasp more veiwers that have already left... Just for a unneeded cliffhanger(other anime series exampled).

Even the first episode of hallow was trying way to hard to introduce character. Notice the less character develop of(GOD I FORGOT HER NAME) the librarian exorcist. Even crow is sorta flying by the radar when it comes to air time of those guys. Ppl are already complaining about levi sounding like a child (even being what?17 years old). Allans still good... BUT thats because he's got alot of air time as the MC. Oh and poor lenalee........ Lol. Wish she got more time to(as of ep 4)

HOWEVER, i do want to see more of hallow. I do think, even though the manga is set in stone, the animation should put some pace to the story... (Not talking about that 1990 filler animation but editing and emphasis into MORE of their scenes. Would realy add more depth and drama to what this season is trying to convay.

Still hope it gets another season after this. Seems to be trying rather hard to get its fanbase back. regardless of that long ass haitus.
