An episode displaying Lavi's power, and Allen's internal struggle. Thanks to the advice of Cross Marian and Lavi, he becomes back to normal. Next episode seems to be an anime orignal (or filler as some may like to call it). Surprisingly Kanda is in it, a yay for Kanda fans otherwise he'll never appear but a bit odd how they said in this episode it would be a while before Allen ever saw Kanda again and he sees him straight away.

A more major deviation from the manga is that they healed Allen's eye in this episode too, so I'm wondering if they're gonna go and get him stabbed again in the filler. Since it's fairly important he doesn't go and get his eye healed so instantly.

hmmm, it seems odd to me. According to AniDB there will only be 52 episodes, if thats the case and they are not gonna follow the manga fully, what is the point of having fillers? especially right now when they still have quite a bit of manga material to use....

could they perhaps be taking the anime in its own unique direction? Like that of FMA?

From other forums it seems people claim the next episode is from the Reverse novels. I haven't actually read them so I didn't realize that. So I guess it wouldn't be considered a filler (or anime original). Still doesn't change the fact that they healed Allen's eye prematurely.

I do think they are gonna catch up to the manga if they go at their current pace. And it will be harder to insert anything new once the main arc starts. But the fillers will probably become dull from an anime watchers point of view if D. Gray-man is made up of nothing but monster of the week episodes. The "oh let's go on our next Akuma hunting mission" formula is gonna get old soon.

Going from a different direction like FMA could be possible. And like FMA has shown this wouldn't be a bad thing. As long as it isn't like Black Cat.

What seems odd to me is that, like you said, they could easily catch up to the manga with 52 episodes, so if they truly have 52 planned it makes me think that they want to take it in their own direction

:) well it will definatly be interesting to see what happens

Lenalee is awesome and cute =)

Ah, so the uniforms have a purpose. Interesting. A neat episode.

yeah, I liked this episode. I especially like how they pointed out that Allen is unique with his eye and therefore doesn't experience this innate fear and distrust that all of the other exorcists feel every moment. While I thought this series seemed pretty childish in the beginning, recent episodes have definitely made me think twice about the intended audience.

Although I still don't like that the main char is still so damned young... 15, WTF ?!

...off topic...

Doth my eyes deceive me?? Why no!!! It's the young and annoying (albeit loveable) Koreth, come to grace us with his presence!!! *in my best southern drawl* Why I do declare... Hell hath frozen over!! **snicker**

...off topic rant over...

I don't really disagree with u but remember FMA =P ed was 15 pretty much of the time

Love how the exorcist face/see human and Akuma. Glad Allen find his solution.:D Nice and beautiful ending.:) Timcanpy is always so cute.:) 5/5

Great ep, Lavi pwns!!! I'm not sure of the direction now though, cause they healed his eye already, idk. It sux for me too,cause I'm watching the dub, and having to wait for the next boxset to come out, like 3 more weeks T___T...Urahara Out!!

Just gotta say, I really Love Lavi's hammer : D that's the kinda handy thing you've always wanted since you were a kid, a hammer which is extendable and sizable : D

oO I never thought about those Exorcists unable to see the Akuma...

Very nice Episode ^^

Right! Hope, she recovers soon ^^

Damn, I love Lavi already *_*
But I love Allen more :p

Good episode. A lot more is learnt about Allen and Lavi.

Yup, he is
"No one can talk about the bookman but the bookman"
lol and it was a nice ending.

Now that was a fantastic episode, I thought. Allen's inner struggle was portrayed very well, and learning about Lavi was interesting and captivating. Nice character interaction going on too. I felt like the episode put a lot of things in perspective that were necessary for the audience to know... So yeah, I'm happy. :)

I think there's over a hundred now, so that would make like what, 4 or 5 seasons

I really like there uniforms, I think they look real cool
