From what I get, this is going to be a continuation of the 1st season.

I was so hyped for this. DGM started everything for me, and the manga restarting last July (just a day after my birthday) and airing the anime this year, again in July, had me so damn excited! But I saw the latest trailer, and then heard the VAs, and for both Allen made me cringe. Allen doesn't have blue eyes, he just doesn't!! Animation style is also quite different, but some of the other characters were made really well, especially Link and Tyki, Kanda too. Lenalee is okay, but Lavi's grin missed a curve or crookedness to it I've loved since I saw it in the first anime. The blurred shine in the hair kinda annoys me, but even with the different style, the animation looks promising. But Allen with Hinata's voice, ugh. I had hoped it wouldn't be like that, and even if it were, it wouldn't be so bad, but my mind really can't handle it. Kanda and Lavi came close to the originals, but with Allen, I kinda feel like Hinata is roleplaying or something, haha. I love Haikyuu!! and it's characters, but I don't think I'll be able to see Allen quite as well now with this voice. Allen and Hinata are so far from each other... I think I'll have to watch both DGM anime adaptations at the same time for therapy, haha! Other than the style change and the atrocious switching with the cast, I'm pretty hyped! D.Gray-Man for the win!

I was honestly devastated to hear that Lavi and Kanda will not be voiced by SuzuKen and Sakurai-sama...and I still am bummed about Lavi.
However, I felt like Kanda's new seiyuu totally suits his character and is almost similar to how Takahiro Sakurai voiced him so I'm happy about that at least~

But to accept Kaneki Ken's voice for Lavi is gonna take me some time... it's hard especially since Lavi is my ultimate favourite character and SuzuKen made him even more perfect with his voice...*sigh*

Time to move forward huh?

I don't see why they changed the cast buy kept the composer...whatever, just happy to see more D.Gray-man.

Reborn sequel next, pls.

Really hyped for this.
Edit: Personally I think the VAs did a good job at least in this video to match the voice acting to the old ones.

Much better than I expected (but still disappointed with Kanda's VA).

Actually Lavi sounds surprisingly good and fitting.Kanda feels odd.I might be biased because of Takahiro Sakurai

My biggest issue is Allen's VA...It's worse than I expected.I hoped he would not sound like Hinata from Haikyuu,but from that video it sounds exactly the same...

I'm going to implode from the excitement.

Takahiro Sakurai isn't voicing Kanda...WHAT!WHAT!WHAT!WHAT!WHAT! (robot intunation)
Watching the pv...WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE BRIGHT COLORS! THEY TOTALLY KILL THE SETTING

Wow nice Pv, the new characters design looks quite good aswell, pretty hyped.

Mar 28, 2016 7:22 AM by Lust_

I'll give it a chance but I'm quite disappointed with Kanda's VA. I don't think there's anyone better than Sakurai Takahiro for this character...

>Natsuki Hanae as Lavi
Literally wat. Wait, maybe they used him because that scene?

And July can't come faster, I need my weekly dose of Lenalee.

Cross Ange was great.

I'm glad someone enjoyed that travesty.

Maybe in the minority on MAL but a lot more people enjoyed it. I'll admit it's one of those series you either love or hate. The first couple of episodes are a bit rough but I thoroughly enjoyed it by the end.

With all these changes, I really wished this was a remake tbh...
I'm still pretty excited regardless, definitely my most anticipated show for the summer.

Mar 27, 2016 4:08 AM by KashKetchum

Yay. Still a bit annoyed at cast changes but what can you do. I'm sure this will still be amazing.
