LOL Sento Isuzu VA will voice Lenalee. I like her voice as Julis in Gakusen Toshi Asterisk by the way. And Natsuki Hanae really everywhere now.

Damn, TMS doing 4 anime shows in one season. TMS has become based.
Yes, I'm really HYPE!!!

SUMMER is GOAT season.

PV looks hype with the new visuals. I really do wonder what'll the episode count be. My guess is that it'll be 24 episodes long.

Also TMS looking pretty packed this year. Last year it was J.C Staff, so it might be the year for TMS to shine.

C'mon man, I'm too hyped up at this point. Summer can't come soon enough.

Probably the most excited I've been for a new season in a long while.

Amanchu and D.Gray-man among many others to look forward to for summer

So what happened with the original VA, are they no longer working in the industry ? Either way,I'm glad that D.Gray-man is back, it's been a long while.
As for character designs, Kanda and Lavi look the same, however Allen is almost unrecognizable. Were it not for his face markings, I would not know it's him.

Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites.

Budget. It's the most probable reason from one look at the cast list. Half are upcoming/younger seiyuu and the other half haven't had much work. I can bet they cost nowhere near as much as the original cast who are mostly experienced big names tagged with higher fees.

The PV made me hyped, but on the other hand... the new cast is extremely dissapointing. I only like the seiyuus of Kanda (because it's the seiyuu of Caesar, and the voice will fit him), Wisely and the Earl. Lenalee's one is okay. The rest... I prefer not to talk about that.

I seriously hope the rest of the cast unrevealed will be better.

I like how the new official art made looks like if Lavi will be relevant this season xD

I can barley recognize maybe 2 or 3 voice actors of the new cast so I don't know what to expect.
I hope Allen's voice won't sound as annoying as Hinata's.I won't be able to take him seriously.

Wasn't expecting it in summer 2016 already. Nice news. Looking forward to it.
Staff seems fairly underwhelming at first glance though. Hope they 'll do well. Wisely's seiyuu seems fitting.(Lenalee will have Chamo's voice ? Oo )

Even though I would have loved to see they retain the original cast, I say give the new seiyuu a chance before jumping the guns! The PV looks absolutely phenomenal!

Disappointed in the choice of VA's. Not only unexperienced but also some who probably won't fit into that role (really can't see Hanae Natsuki as Lavi). Hopefully they'll convince me otherwise.

OH YES OH YES OH YES.

The animation quality is brilliant. The Character designs are closer to manga. The censorship is minimal.

And it will air so soon!

Now all that is left is to hear the OP song and to see if it matches up.

This summer is shaping up to be brilliant!

TMS is a big studio, just that they prefer their long-running franchises to making "standard" anime, but they start to make more of it lately.

I'm not a fan of the original anime, i've found it so boring i couldn't watch it till the end, still i'm curious to try this new version. Well i thought so but after seeing the cast and the staff crew i'm not so sure anymore. Lavi by Kaneki Ken's seiyuu, even if i really like him i don't think he fits here. Worst is the director of Cross Ange. I will have to confirm it after watching at least the first episode, but as it is now it seems to me that this won't be much better than the original stuff.

Yeah I'll get over the cast, that animation quality got me too ready. Designs look fantastic, especially Link and Tyki. Those Alma feels, I'm more convinced this will stop with Alma arc now, which is a good thing because we don't want it to catch up with the manga again.. Hallow is a great name btw.

Would it bee too much to ask for an Abingdon Boys School OP?

Gonna run for what? 2-cour? 'Cuz you know, not much manga content---

It's still nice tho. A bit more D.Gray-man to shut us up for a bit and then hope the manga continues regular publication again xD

tbh it's the new character design that makes me feel like watching this.

Back then I was surprised to see the manga cover and see how different the designs were.

Am I the only one that still feels like they are being taken for a ride? I can't fully believe they are finally continuing D.Gray Man....After all the trolls over the years.... Maybe Bleach still has a chance.

I was kind of hoping for some of the old cast to replay their role. So is this a sequel off of the original or are they just going do a HunterxHunter and start fresh. Either way it looks really good and super excited.

AS Hoshino herself put it:

Sequel in terms of storyline.
Reboot in terms of production and cast.
