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.

MAL has it under "Alternative version" for some reason, suggesting it's a remake, so it's difficult to say at this time.

Oh. Guess it really is a sequel, if the creator of D.Gray-man herself said it.

"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."

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.

You mean the Apocryphos? 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

Then it will be good ending. And it is probably Apocryphos and that's when the story went wrong way imo.

I had given up hope... And then... One christmas morning at 3:38 AM... I was browsing the internet and saw that the manga had been continued.
Then i saw that the anime had been continued.
Then i exploded. I have been checking forums for this since 2012. I guess miracles really do exist.

And now i realize that i have no irl frinds who watch anime that i can go cry on.

Lavi and Lenalee won't have a big role in this new anime if this is a sequel. The next arcs will be about Allen and Kanda mainly.

That okay since Lenalee was really important in the 4th season
I also wonder if UVERworld will do the opening for this anime as well

( I feel they Know D grey man the best in terms of music its just would't feel DGM with out them)

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.

A bit disappointed this isn't a remake. It will be confusing for new watchers. I plan to rewatch the series now since its a sequel :O And now I can convince my friends to watch it too :) Super happy D Gray Man got picked up again :'( I wonder if this means the creator is close to completion for the series. I hope so, wouldn't want another huge gap for the anime again.

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?

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.

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.

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.
