Great episode indeed. Everyone seems to be alive again + they've gained an arc of their own. Can't wait for the next one ;)

Pretty good. Allen knowing how to play just means that he must know the 14th or something.

Or I could be lying, since I read the manga. :D Or not.

Sigh, I hate how they did some impossible miracle to bring everyone back to life.. but of course they weren't going to knock off that many main characters, so meh. It was a really good ep anyways.

IYO

Actually, I think this is one of my favorite top episodes so far. I thought the whole deal with the piano was great, the music added an effect to the episode for me.

Nice ep, but sometimes Allen annoys me to no end, as far as he knows the people closest to him are dying but he sits around being emo, GAH!!!!

I dont like the way the earl laughs, its really annoying and the other thing that i must admit that i cant stand the voice of Cross for whatever reason,, anyways, pretty good episode for D-Gray, the battle between two arks starteeeeddd XD

Agree when the earl played the song it sounded stupid...
but somehow the whole feel of the song changed when Allen played it.
It touched my heart so much (plus MV of dead friends being revived helped).
It's a great way to end in arc indeed :)

It's somewhere around episode 57. Recall he had that dream of the 14th before he found himself at the Asian Branch.

I'm so happy that everyone's back. :]
But it took forever for something to actually happen. For someone that was fighting for his friends, Allen seemed like he was just taking his sweet time to walk around that room instead of walking over to the piano and playing it. D:
Whatever though. :D I'm just happy everyone's back.<3

The short at the end was really cute.

BEFORE I FORGET, I liked seeing Madame Lulubell at the end for a little bit there. :]
I don't think the Earl's song sounded stupid AT ALL, but I thought it was too pretty to portray a "I'm going to destroy the world" theme. o_o ((if that made any sense at all))

It's so weird, when the Earl was playing the piano piece I didn't care for it at all. I thought it was pretty boring and unimpressive. However, once Allen played practically the same piece of music towards the end it sounded so much different! Weird, huh?

I just read the manga of this chapter. And the anime left out alot of dialogue. Like when Cross was carrying lenalee and he was talking to allen through the radio. after allen tells them he's alright he goes " ... and arent your voices coming from the same place...? Master!! Please would you stop touching lenalee!" lol

even though its pointless I thought that was pretty funny. The anime should have left that in.

Errrr..... LAME ??

Of all the possibilities I had in my head for them to fix the arc, playing a melody on a piano wasn't one of them ?? Seriously... WTF , that was actually pretty retarded and lame... don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Kanda & rest are ok (although I kinda alrdy knew that, was too predictable) , but A PIANO...!!?? CMON....
It's been a cool arc, but this ending.... hmmmm...

Well, its one of the MOST unique ways to do it, which helped to emphasize both "Musicians" as they play important role in the story.

Instead of classical and lame "they were okay", "they escaped" or "we revive them", we got quite a masterful explanation and a VERY unique way to control the dimension ship

I have to agree with Fai. Even though the revival of the "dead" Exorcists was predictable, I didn't see it coming by means of a pretty piano song. O.o

All in all, I really liked this episode. :D The music and ending were beautiful, and even though the fightish thing between Allen and the Earl was short, I thought it was animated pretty well. Plus, Lavi came back. <3 (Except, come on Allen, did you HAVE to bring back Kanda? We don't need him... T_T)

Oh, and the omake was adorable. :D

That piano song was quite calming yet the situation was the complete opposite.

It was a good episode. I figured they had to bring back everyone otherwise we would have an Allen/Lenalee love story and their adventures with Cross the rest of the way. Kanda's backstory isn't complete yet either.

Maybe the same way the Noah cried when one of their comrades disappear as to Earl having his old ark disappear? Dunno.

Edit: looking back it's because of the 14th. Didn't pay attention or remember the first time -_-

whole episode was fine, everyone's alive again, yay (Yuu! <3)
but the music theme was kind of letdown. it was pretty, that for sure, but i expected more from the thing that's supposed to move Arc. and after reading manga i imagined it to be more~ epic? whatever. not calm, simple piano melody D:

Good episode overall. Seriously, the music was incredible and I loved the ending. But this is probably one of the very few times that Allen will ever bug me. I mean for goddamn sakes, just play the stupid piano! He was so damn hesitant and after he supposedly lost so many of his friends, he has the nerve to be all hesitant and shit? Dunno that just bugged me, but Allen is still an awesome character, the episode was still pretty freakin great, and I'm just happy that everything turned out okay.

Does anyone happen to have the score sheet for the song Allen plays in the ark? I'd really love to get my hands on it so I can try playing it at home~ ;D It was a great episode, and great song. D.gray rocks!

YAYYY!!! Miraculous revival complete x33

And that song is awesomesss ^w^ I spent ages watching them playing the piano and writing down all the notes I could so I can play it xD was very tricky xD And I don't even know if they've animated it so they play the right notes (though they made it look very right even if it wasn't x33)

Anyways: awakening of Tykki makes his whole power-up thing make sense and am glad Road is not dead because otherwise she would have been a relative pushover compared to all the other Noah when she's supposed to be the strongest :/ wouldn't have made sense xD

and geez. That was one hell of a useful score xD
