(L) D.Gray-man (Season 2)

[andrewsch5658]

I actually had something on my mind, thought I don't it'll ever happen and might be a pointless one, still, I gonna share it with u guys, feel free to give any opinion if u want, I won't might about it.

Spoiler for my thought:

Since the anime had finished, there're some people who actually dislike the first 50 episodes. Thought I think not much people complain about season 2, but there're still some scene been censored. So, while waiting for DGM 2(or seqeual or something like that), I actually think of something like DGMv.2(for the first series).

This DGMv.2 is kind of like a redo for the DGM 1st series. Since it took such a long episodes and some censorship(which might disappoint manga fan), I'm thinking that they can adapt all tha manga without censorship for the 1st series and take lesser amount of episodes as well as lesser anime-original(General Yeegar,Deesha,Suman). This might be foolish of me, but I think it'll be interesting especially for the front arc before the Suman case which they had censor or change. And don't misunderstand, I still love how they did for the 1st series, I just some wishful thought of seeing the completed adaptation of the series. They can still use back all the opening,ending and OST,as well as some of the episode that they had completely adapt from the manga, or some episode that can improve more.

so d grayman anime is already finished? I mean does episode 103 is already its end?

[Chaos2Frozen]

You know, I've just remembered to add to the list-

The Leaf of Revival Arc is not desirable, too predictable and straightforward for my taste... Strongly advise to skip.

The Millennium Swordman Arc is a good, respectable mystery story with an interesting twist at the end, strongly advised to watch.

People dislike the first 50 episodes because they have already had the mindset of "Fillers = Bad".

And the reason why the second season had little to no whiners, is because the first season had already weeded them out

The story is still continuing in the manga if that's what you're asking...

I thought a lot of the first 50... eh... 29 episodes were boring even if I had no idea which parts of it were filler and not. The only anime-original story I actually liked was Allen meeting General Yeegar, as it made his death have more of an impact. But the two filler-arcs between Miranda's arc and Krory's weren't really that good in my opinion. I just thought that the first "season" wasn't really that impressive, and it wasn't before I read the manga that I really managed to get into the story. But I'll still buy the DVDs once they come out, as there WERE some good parts in there too.

[Chaos2Frozen]

Really? For what it was meant to do- Introduction into this alternate ending of the 19th century- I thought it painted a very well done picture of this dark scenario.

I was immediately hooked after the 2nd episode and burned through all 90 chapters of the manga.

[Shiroth]

The hate people have against fillers is very over the top and pointless (like i've said a number of times). I mean just because it's not manga material, doesn't mean it's filler --- that's one factor that a lot of people seem to forget.

Anyway, i loved the first 50 episodes. I really didn't see anything wrong with then.

then what chapter is episode 103 in manga?

[Arabesque]

Around Chapter 158.

I thought that the first 50 episodes were really good at times, and I enjoyed most of them as they helped expand on things which weren't present in the manga.

[nixie]

This background music really struck me and I need help identifying its title. I think the first time I heard of it was in episode 51, min 12:12~12:40. And then in episode 52 min 8:40~9:15. I don't think it's in OST 1 or 2. I could be wrong though, so if someone can clarify that for me please. Sounds like it could be 'Men of the Sea' in OST 3, maybe.

I'm only at episode 65 now by the way. I've heard a lot of complaints of fillers in the show, but in all honesty I really couldn't tell which was filler which was not. Admittedly, there were a few bad episodes but the flow is always there, progress is still evident, and these extra incidents actually add more to character development as I see it. However, can't say I enjoyed the show much up to this point, it's so average in every aspect excluding the music.

No it's not on the first two soundtracks.

[FlareKnight]

I'll admit that I enjoyed the second half quite a bit more. But still were some good things in that first half of the series. Got introduced to the characters, saw some development, and overall had some good times. Obviously some stuff I probably would prefer they had not done, but pretty much what I'd say about any series. Just glad they really worked well with the material near the end.

The only episode's which I thought were mediocer were 31 and 32, other than that I loved the first 51 episodes (sometimes more so than the second half). They expanded on Suman Dark's back story, Daisya’s was made into a likable character (and stayed in the polls ever since <_<) Allen's time with Cross, Krory and his relationship with Ellade, and had really great Opening and Endings.

I agree with both Chaos2Frozen and Shiroth. I immediately loved it when saw the opening in the 1st episode+episode 1 atmosphere.

Thanks for the info there, Shiroth. Still, I thought it would have around 40 tracks.

True, sometimes I got that feeling too. Still, loved the series till the end. Hope there will be an announcement of when DGM 2(or something like that) will be.

[Blerghovic]

I think the music and VA in D.Gray-Man was brilliant. I can't pick out a single moment where I thought 'his voice sounded weird there' or 'that music doesn't fit at all'.

Have a point. Though after the Suman and Daisya stuff I feared any character information that got handed out . Felt like information was a signal that they were going to die any time. Of course fewer characters ended up dying than I expected. Did like episodes that gave some depth to other characters though.

I liked the Opening and Endings to a degree. Other than the point where most spoiled me badly about some things that would happen. Thus leading to me not even watching the last one until the final episode or so .

This past weekend came and went my local anime convention.

Although I only went for one day on Sunday, I have fun with my friend and purchased a lot of mangas that I eagerly wished to buy.

The main topic of this post is to comment that, although D.Gray-man has not of yet been broadcast in Mexico either through cable-TV or Animax, at my local convention I saw a few teens cosplaying as D.Gray-man characters.

A guy in a Lavi cosplay costume with all an eyepatch and with an elaborated hammer.

Another boy in an Allen cosplay costume with the scar and the white hair and with the claw (the first incarnation of the Innocence from season one) activated, and a made-up Timcampy sitting on his head.

An Earl cosplay costume including the sword, but the mask impersonating the Earl's face seemed to me more like a cardboard box.

The D.Gray-man cosplay costume that piqued my interest the most were of a couple of fourteen-year-old girls faithfully cosplaying the Noah Twins- Debit and Jasdero.

But, it sucks for me not having a camera, otherwise, I would have posted the pictures in my post.

Too bad, but I did not find or see other people cosplaying as Kanda, Tykki, Road, or Lenalee.

That is the part that really made me happy about the anime originals, they weren't just there to fill in time; they actually expanded on the story and gave the characters personalities. General Yeegar, Suman and Daisya all were more interesting and their fate was sadder than in the manga.

And yeah, while the music for the opening were good, the way they just spoilt everything from the opening was sort of annoying. I always wondered why they showed Tyki standing in a forest of bamboo with the Teez and showed that Road was A Noah right in the first opening not to mention showed Miranda in her Exorcist uniform. Whoops, just spoiled the entire half of the manga before the first episode began

It sounds like you had fun there I think that it must be really hard to cosplay as Tykki or Road, because of their hair it must be difficult. And I really wanted to see the Noah Twins pictures

It's true that the OP's did include spoiler material, but then again that pretty much happens with any show. The good thing about the situation here is that the scenes shown built up the anime only viewers into wanting to know more, making the show more enjoyable with added anticipation.

The fourth OP though, wow a lot spoilers we had there.

I guess, but they didn't to have to show things that weren't meant to be shown until about 50 episodes in advance .

But yeah, they didn't really take that much excitement from the actual events. Unlike the 4th one, as it spoiled everything in advance. Allen’s Innocence and the Generals were the biggest problem with that opening, not to mention the fact that they shoed everyone back at HQ.

[Chaos2Frozen]

It's not a spoiler if you don't know what it is... And if you know what it is, then it's not a spoiler to you either.



Every OP has spoilers yes, but if you don't know who Tykki is, who Road is, who Krory really is (I mean, who thought he was a bad guy base on the OP? I sure many people did) then you're not really spoiled are you?

You're simply intrigued.

The reason why you would be spoiled is when the people beside you go, "OMG SPOILER!!!".
