| Do we know if this is a remake or a sequel yet? I'm interested in this, but if it's not a remake, I'm not sure if I will watch this one since I haven't seen the prior season and heard it's not that great. |
| It';s a sequel. It's just going to be different in terms of music, animation and voice actors. |
| Sequel, seems to pick up where the 2008 anime left off. Definitely give the original series a try, don't know what you've heard but it's far from terrible. |
| At long last... |

| *Waits for MAL anime mods to change the relations of the two D.Gray-Man entires~* From what I can gather, yes, a sequel. |
 |
| I think it's confirmed that it will be sequel so doesn't it concern anyone about the story (of course who read the manga). Don't really remember where the anime stopped but at some point the manga went kinda "not the right way" at least for me, not to mention the crazy continuation after "small" hiatus. |

I think previous anime stopped after which would be around chapter 157. That means we will probably get not sure about arc which is currntly going on. I belive manga comes back around 16th of january but no idea how long till arc is finished. |
 |
| It is a sequel. |
 |
| So we won't get the arc with cause i believe it will be after arc with And this arc was for me super confusing and i didn't like it. |

He (or 'it', whatever that thing is) first makes his appearance in Seed of Destruction Arc, and then in Searching for A.W. Arc. Both are directly after the events with Alma Karma. I doubt they will get animated, except for the Seed Of Destruction Arc, since it last only five chapters and would do a fine ending of the new series. |

True, though when I think about it A.W arc and previous one ale closely connected, so they could leave Seed of Destruction out. Either way it will be one hell of a cliffhanger. :P |
|
| Is Seed Of Destruction Arc ending Then it will be good ending. And it is probably Apocryphos and that's when the story went wrong way imo. |

| Yeah that's the one, but I think you should probably put that under spoiler. :P |
|
| Didn't put under spoiler cause thought that it's not such a big spoiler, but now think probably it is :) |

| I was so excited that i finally able to watch 1 of my fave anime of all time, and Yuu Kanda will also be the main char, but i guess i will be a bit disappointed for lavi and lenalee hasn't been confirm as the main and the seiyuu will be changing. ;( |

The next arcs will be about Allen and Kanda mainly. |

I also wonder if UVERworld will do the opening for this anime as well Yeah, during the invasion of the HQ arc she has the spotlight, so it's the time to other characters to shine. I hope another opening like Gekidou. UVERworld is great. |

| YES!!! I can see exorcist in action with their new Epic exorcist uniform!!!xD |

| I think a remake would have been better since it's been so long, and the manga doesn't move all that fast either. Especially because of a new staff and VAs? I'll be watching either way, though! <3 |
| I wish it was a remake, I want to see new animation with the new voices. I think it could work really well with a whole new cast and crew working on it. Plus with a new series we could get similar to FMA Brotherhood and skip on the fillers and get more intense fights and shit. Either way I'm fucking excited for it. |
| The manga continues, the anime continues...Couldn't ask for more, I'm so excited! I really, really hope they'll be faithful to the manga and not add a bunch of fillers or anything. It's also a little sad that we have some new VAs, but it's understandable that they would have to do that. |

| I'm so hyped for this! Question is: Will it follow the manga? I mean it's pretty sure it's a sequel, ok but that doesn't mean it's really going to follow the manga and I'm a bit scared it doesn't D: Someone has any information about that? |
| Well, it looks like they're going to animate the Alma arc at least, so I don't see why it wouldn't follow the manga? |
| She said "The story will be continued", she didn't say " It will start were it left off" I believe it will be a remake but the story will be continued just like HxH 2011, because she said it will be a completely new anime. |

WhiteFact said: She said "The story will be continued", she didn't say " It will start were it left off" She referred to it as a sequel at one point. Sequels don't retell the same story over again. It's a new anime in the sense the VA will be different. The soundtrack will be different. The art style is different, and will be closer to Hoshino's. So the story is not starting over with chapter 1. Now if they are gonna take a liberty with the order is questionable. But they aren't rebooting. |
| Okay, so I'm still confused: do I have to go watch the first series, or there will be no need because it will be retold anyway? With HxH, I went and watched the first series and it did me a bad favor because no so exciting when you know what will happen and I kept finding faults with the new series, and the best arc was better in the old series... it wasn't very pleasant, so I'd like to avoid repeating the experience, and if this series is not a pure continuation, I'd rather avoid watching the old series... |

This is a continuation. Not a remake. So, you can either watch the 1st 2006 anime. Or you can read the manga. Chapters 1-157, then watch the new anime. To quote myself, when someone asked about which they should do. I think the manga is better. The anime changed around events. Added in scenes that sometimes made no sense. Left out some things - either events, or parts of dialogue. According to fans of Kanda, an Exorcist, the anime made some errors to his character. Cross Marian being my favorite was also messed up in the anime adaptation, where they made him more despicable than his manga counterpart. And it's not the 1st anime adaptation I have seen to be different from the manga. Same thing happened with Elfen Lied and Blood+. The former was horrid, imo. The latter was still decent. So I would say start with the manga 1st. And read that. It's 221 chapters. But you could catch up very quickly. because chapters only get released every 3 months now. We just got chapter 221 this past week. So we won't have another chapter until late this Apr. Even some people who have read the manga decided to start over when it came back from hiatus. So I always advise - not just for DGM, but any manga that one start with that. Because it's the original material from the one who created it - the author + their editors. THEN go to the anime adaptations, because things will be different in those and can sometimes contradict the manga. So I advise keeping the anime and manga separated. Because they're not the same. So no. I don't advise starting with the anime, and finishing with the manga. |
Shounne said: I'm happy that they're going to make a sequel. I hope that they don't change the visuals & character designs. I want to watch it like I'm watching 2008 styled animes. I don't want to see the characters like Lenalee having big bouncy boobs, moe eyes, etc. It disrespects my point of view on anime. The character designs have changed somewhat. Seems they're possibly going to make it closer to how Hoshino designed the characters. Here's pix of Allen and Lavi from the new anime.  His hair is orange, like how Hoshino intended. The last anime, for some reason decided to make it burgundy. Same with Cross' hair. And Allen's scar is now read, instead of purple. Another pic of Allen from the new anime.  |

Its a reboot in terms of production. New VAs, etc., |
