A bit like Kanda really, whos made considerably less appearance than the other 3 main characters in both manga and anime but has way more popularity than most of them. Maybe the filler epi about Daisya's past in the anime made him alot more popular than compared to the manga. What intrigues me the most is how Mana is in the list too:S I mean the dudes had like what, a total of maybe 10 second appearance time in the anime and manga and they are all flashbacks! Lastly Chapter 172 out Spoiler for chp 172:

I have to admit, a boob-grab is that very last thing I expected to see here
Another time skip... I really feel that the manga is trying to make room for the anime... But in any case, this has been quite an amusing chapter It's good that we're back to simple stories again, that way we could build up a new arc. Prediction? I say Allen and Kanda (And Marie and Link) would be joining in on the party P.S - Is it me, or has Tim gotten bigger again ?

The time skip's a good thing, the anime's been going at breakneck speed. But now it's back to innocence hunts? Guess the Earl decided to take the subtle route... Spoiler for chapter 172:

Spoiler for 172:
This chapter basically introduced a new innocence retrieving quest with Allen, Kanda, Marie(1st time see him joining to search for innocence/innocence user in this series) and Link, which makes me happy since it’s been a long while we see exorcist finding innocence/innocence user. This time, the case seems a bit strange as all of the thief the policemen caught were actually the wrong one, which makes the inspector almost crazy. This arc remind me of ghost of mateel arc(cause they first think that the doll was a ghost, which just give me a similar feeling). It also remind me of one of the Full Metal Alchemist anime arc where there’s a woman thief(forgot her name), the one that cheat Edward and Alphonse that she steal because she need to save the hospital, church….! I actually quite love Emilia and also the idea of Kanda and Emilia pairing. It was actually quite a funny chapter too with mixture of mystery in it. Allen and Kanda expression were priceless as always. Though its rare that both didn’t argue/fight in this chapter. I hope that Katsura Hoshino introduce a new noah/noahs in this arc which might make the arc interesting in some way-though that might not happen so soon, who knows until the time being. The only thing that’s strange is that why Katsura Hoshino create another time skip so soon after the 10 days later-around 3-4 chapters only. Again,same here Chaos, it give me a feeling that she wants the anime to fill in those time skip events, which is most probably innocence hunting/retrieving arc from the current exorcist. Another interesting chapter that I enjoy reading this week, looking forward for next week chapter. Some people might not like or can’t catch up for the fast proceeding story line but I basically love it and that’s one of main reasons why I love to read D.Gray Man manga. (Also love the anime) |

Very true. Actually all of the characters go through some subtle changes every time the order issues a new outfit,allen and kanda being the most obvious.If u compare the first few chapters with the latest ones, the difference is surprisingly big. To me the best phase was probably the Edo/ark arc.
Clearly it has! Exactly what has allen been feeding it lately eh.. it seems that tim tends to change size indefinitely throughout the series (remember the first time we saw it sitting on Cross' head it was HUGE!) would be interesting if we got to know why.. |

It's about the mangaka finding the style they are most comfortable in drawing. Many have changed their style over time (Kubo drawing shorter noses, Kishimoto drawing straighter lines *meaning getting Manga Studio*) Hoshino sensie is still trying to find her style (though the edo/ark era seemed where she started changing to this one, even though sometimes it seemed as if she handed in incomplete versions of her manga).

I'm intrigue at the first half of the chapter though.
Spoiler:
THat aside, this quote also says alot "It'll make General Cross' debt look like nothing." "I'll protect it with my life!" Lol, what are you talking about? It barely even started! Does look like it, but where did he pull out the extra outfit from ?

Ha, I had a good laugh this chapter
Just seeing Kanda standing there waiting for him I burst out in laughter of the oncoming beating that G was going to receive. Not once, but twice, even by Allen This G Phantom guy is definitely related to innocence, well I guess they will need to "Exorcise" Link now eh?

Never expect the recorder secret will reveal so soon. It was an interesting one. Allen is even cooler in this chapter. Now we’ll see the true Allen instead of Allen that wear the mask of Mana(act like Mana) in the future chapter. Allen wearing the mask of Mana is quite creepy though. Those policemen’s reaction is kind of slow IMO. This G’s ability is really mysterious. Wonder how it really works? Amazing chapter IMO, looking forward for next week’s chapter. |

Overall, that was no doubt one comical chapter
Spoiler for SUPER FLASHY ANTI-THIEF G KICK!:
Quote:
I think it meant that Allen was gradually losing his habitual imitation of Mana's character when Johnny suggested that Allen had stopped using polite speech ie he'd been following Mana's way of speaking like a gentleman to most people. A few ppl have mentioned it above already, but thought I'd just point it out anyway. Last edited by ffantasy24; 2008-09-20 at 08:07. |
