| what a great ending!but its open one-_-,why all the great animes have open ending i hate it!anyway its looks like it dosnt gonna have new season and i really hope that Fai and i are totaly wrong! its too much great anime for getting end like that. |

Fai said: Reading your three facts, they make me believe you want this show to end completely..Three facts: 1. Shonen series NEVER do the breaks longer than two weeks. Its suicide as viewers mostly "forget" what the show was about. None of the shonen shows being at similar timeslots came back after "ending the broadcast". 2. Ratings are not that good. Going on the break would deliver a huge blow to the ratings when show comes back, so tv stations would not wish to blow up their own economies by bringing such show back on air. 3. None of the shows, who changed seasons would get FIN written in the end. NONE. FIN mostly means complete stop and is one of the more "hardcore" ways of implying its THE END. We can all believe what we want, and i believe that this show shall return in the future.They stopped down because of how close they are to catching up with the manga, that makes sense though if you ask me it looks as if they didn't want to end. That will is strong enough for them to carry on at a later date. |
| So it comes to an end. We won't be seeing this series around for a while. I do hope they will somehow resume this series in the future, because it just started to get interesting. It's also quite possible this is the last we'll see of the animated series of D.Gray-man. *crosses fingers and hopes for a continuation* |

That will is strong enough for them to carry on at a later date. Believe, me I DO NOT want this show to end, since its the only shonen genre tv show which is actually WORTH something. I am actually FURIOUS on how it all turned out. But I am being a realist here, good shows does not matter to the majority of viewers - they want shiny KABOOOM's, ecchi scenes every 2 seconds and let's not forget the stupid plot. The very fact that D.gray-man timeslot was given to bleach(which, s well as half dozen of other shows could disappear for all I care) shows that. Instead of watching a story about one man's "walk" through the dark history in the world where everyone can be enemy and his battle against his own darkness and the dark fat figure embodying everything that is dark, viewers would better watch a carbon-based dbz copy where orange haired Japanese boy(who is quite good looking) is fighting against dozens of shirtless evil bishonen, while saving girls whose boobs defy gravity and laws of physics themselves. Thats the sad little truth of TV. And will has no powers against the economic structure and the jungle, that is TV. Same happens in USA. Hell, one of more interesting tv shows, The 4400 was canceled due to the similar bullshit. And writers had a lot of resolve and will to continue. After no one accepted that they are continuing the show with books. its the dark dark world, where tv companies favor mindless fanservice instead of something good. It happens in entire world almost every second. Ideas getting scrapped for something "more acceptable by mainstream". And d.gray-man was placed in situation where production team just did not have from what to chose. I am hoping for OVAs tho... |

| Just finished watching the last epi. It was a nice way to end it i guess, kind of took the general's to help out like a freaking year late. Hope to see more though, of Noah, hope there is going to be a 2nd season, not satisfy !! |
 |
| Loved it especialy the Noah scene I hope they make a new series :( |
 |
| I loved the anime! But come on what kind of ending was that! I hate anime non-endings. I really hope there is going to be more in the form of a 2nd season... or least a movie. something.... pwease |
| Why? Why did they have to write "fin" at the end T_____________T They're stupid if they finish it for good now. The best part just started in manga >_< |
 |
| Well, good/fine episode, but it isn't an end... This makes me wanna read the manga. It's too early to give this show up, but they aren't gonna continue it in a million years :-/ Hoping for a short OVA or something... TO ANYONE: I would really appriciate it if someone would tell me where to start with the manga, meaning that it starts at the ending of this show. Why didn't we get a "sank you for watching this ridiculous low viewed serie" ? Well, good luck to ya all, and please msg me with the info about the manga. |

Chapter 155 is the end of Level 4 battle, when they start speeding thought he scenes of various future chapters. its better to start reading there. |

| I am glad they ended it here, if they had continued on and done more filler crap like you see in Bleach it would have just dragged the series through the mud and tarnished the bright spots it had. At least now it can always be picked up again at some future date and hopefully finished with nothing less that 100% canon manga content. |

And the manga needs time to breathe. |

| I'm glad they ended it here, too. To be honest I found the series mediocre... at best. I do feel sorry for all its fans, but seriously - I'd have dropped it soon if it hadn't ended here. I think I'll check out the manga instead, really. |
| When I said there will be a second season, it isn't out of wanting. I have no desire to see a second season. It's just that this show is marketable and thus I think there will be a second season. |

This show was too original to be marketable for mainstream viewers. ravenshope7 said: was the Noah next to Road the combined Jasdevi's human form? Cause I didn't see anyone else who they could be, and I could have sworn that they just barely escaped Blood Krory's grasp. Considering it was implied that there's 13 noahs (+ 14th), we haven't seen all of them. Possibly it was one of those we never have seen. |
|
| Dont think we'll see a second season for D.Gray-man, considering how it kind of felt like a proper ending, not like a ending of a story type of thing but more like a ending that drew people into the series. So am guessing this was a way to make people buy the manga and carry on the story. |
 |
| great series wish it didn't end |
 |
Yousuck0000 said: guys im freaking out i need more eps i want to now what happens next Cant we do something so that they continue the anime The illegal market outside of Japan does NOT matter in any way. You can go on blowing up planes if you want, but they won't care about it. We aren't "supposed" to watch it anyway :) |
|
| they really gave no indication that there will be an S2. but that doesnt mean they wont make one either. its kinda like how trinity blood ended....its like the battle still rages on...THE END! ultimately its another way of saying...you'll get an S2 or you wont, depends on which way the sun is shining. clearly there is a lot wide gaps at the end, the biggest of them being that they might be part of an experiment...hehe in a way going by what the earl and his kids said, the exorcists arent so different than akumas in that they get stronger the more akuma's they defeat, or when the nead to defeat a stronger one comes, and akumas get stronger by killing humans... it sa matter of who gets the strongest first. sounds to me like a setup. i bet road is still in love with allen wooooo! |
Fai said: Face it. We got Inuyasha-oed. I have to agree here; it's so disappointing to see such a great anime have such a horrible ending. In fact, the ending lowered my overall score for the show significantly. But, none the less it was a wonderful show, it just needed a proper definitive ending. |
| In the End, was it worth it? |
| ok, those scene, those "FIN" make me think: this is the very end of the anime; knowing that it will be replaced by Bleach makes me say: they could've go on with Allen&Co... Having the manga (much better!) makes me smile anyway, no big deal if the show really came to an end. For now just "thanks D. Gray Man!" |
 |
| I sure hope that theres going to be a S2. the ending kinda left it open... more than open actually, they took the whole wall out. Theres still too much that needs to be answered and things that still need to happen. Wasn't my favorite episode of all time but Crystal Innocence is interesting, sucks that it ended after we find out about it, I'll have to catch up to the manga sooner or later, just gotta find some free time. |

GreenStorm said: I think Fin is from the word finished so the word isn't finished also the series! Sorry, but you're slightly off. "Fin" is not short for "finished," but rather a foreign word with the same root. You see, fin is derived from the Latin "finis," and means "end" in both Spanish and French. The latter is particularly important because French words are used as literary terms. The word "finish" is simply an English derivative of that same Latin term. With that in mind, I kind of have to hold with those that think this really is the end. I don't want it to be, but they put in much more closure than I'd have expected if they were really planning for a new season. If it starts up again, I'll be pleasantly surprised, but I wouldn't count on it. |
| I want a second season. I'm really curious about the 14th and Mana. :/ Also, I want to see them in those new uniforms. They look REALLY good. <3 |
 |
| Ah I didn't expect to see their third outfit until much later, seeing how it wasn't that long ago that it appeared in the manga. The Millennium Earl looks bad ass now =O 8/10 here |
 |
| i really hope for a second season... i have enjoyed d.gray-man a lot and it sucks if it's ending here... let's just hope that they do continue the series in the future... i loved the new outfits |
 |
genxtrigun said: i really hope for a second season... i have enjoyed d.gray-man a lot and it sucks if it's ending here... let's just hope that they do continue the series in the future... i loved the new outfits Totally agree..In regards to the episode it was an 8.5/10 for me. Outfits look sugoi!! |
| Life is ephemeral..smile when you can and make the most of it ^^; Currently scribble for Cyten.co.uk |
| It was a great series, sad to see it end. I would love for a second season, but it doesn't seem likely. Could anyone tell me which chapter in the manga this episode is equivalent to? |
| Luckily I read the DGM manga, so this episode was easy to understand. If you haven't read the manga prior to watching this episode, you would not really get some parts. It's also quite apparent that they rushed the ending, beause the pace of the episode felt sorta misplaced and out of synch as well. I' am huppy that they showed the newest Exsorcist suit animated too, and that we got to see Lenaly in long hair once again in the anime. I do hope that they produce more DGM episodes in the future, because this anime was really epic to watch and it's one of my favorite anime that I'd seen. And thus I rate this last DGM episode at 5/5. |
| all I can say is: T-T Why Lavi? Why must you all leave me? DX |

| Many questions and few answers. End of Anime but not end of history. Similar situation occurred with InuYasha. But without doubt was a great episode for an excellent anime. Cross Ruler! :p It will have another season? Nobody knows! But the Mangá continues! ^^ |

| I'm happy with the way they ended it but I still can't believe they chose Bleach over D Gray man. After keeping up to date with Bleach manga I can safely say the show is only gonna get more worse. The fillers right now are more entertaining then the manga which is a bad sign. O well, nothing we can do I guess. |

| I felt like D.Gray-man could have done a lot better. Even though there were some parts I really enjoyed, it felt like the story derailed somehow. In the beginning when corpses were turned into Akuma and people who were slightly injured by them turned to ash; set a very nice tone to the series but, it was ruined when zillions of Akuma just started coming out of nowhere. Also didn't like when the power difference between a Level-1 & Level-3 Akuma became insignificant lol Anyway I still enjoyed the series, 7/10, but I'm also glad they decided to end it here, I think I'll continue reading the manga beyond the first chapter now^^, |
 |
| The episode itself was good, but I'm disappionted at the way they decided to end the anime. |
 |
| great ending. am hoping that there will be another season but even if there is none, i'm continuing with the manga. |
 |
UchihaItachi6660 said: Ummm, that "ending" was made of hardcore fail. I've lost most interest in the show, but I still hope there will be a second season that will improve on such a horrid ending. It was the usual "go read the manga" ED. I just don't see how sticking closely to manga scenes AND making it look like the ending can be considered a hardcore fail. |
|
| I loved everyone in their new uniform, but the ending was just crap. Yes, I do know what's going on because I'm 'sort of' following the manga, but for the people who never read the manga this must have been a huge WTF moment. :/ Why Japan gave this show low ratings is a big ? to me. They must enjoy watching crappy-ass shows like Naruto (no offense for the people who do like Naruto, I just think it's WAY too overrated). |
| definitely rushed ending but very good regardless. i really liked that last scene with allen in the desert looking upon a shadowy figure of the earl. that "fin" at the end most likely means that this series is sadly going to end like that.. especially since there were no previews or spoilers hinting for a season 2.. in example: "Can't wait to see you in season 2"/etc or something cornier. atleast we still have the manga! |
