D.Gray-man Hallow

Despite the recent Akuma attack, the members of the Black Order are in high spirits as they set about moving to a new base. Immediately upon his arrival, however, Allen Walker is suddenly called by the Central Agency and has his arm forcefully sealed by the Order. He is then led to a surprising meeting with his master, General Cross Marian, who reveals staggering secrets surrounding the enigmatic 14th Noah.

A phantom thief incident, the arrival of a mysterious group of Exorcists, the death of an important comrade, and an all-out battle against the Noah Family—just what does this mean for Allen, Yuu Kanda, and the rest of the Order? This is but the beginning of a series of strange, seemingly unconnected events that lead to something far greater.

This is the first time I'm writing a review, but I thought I'd have to for one of my favourite animes that I've watched. I'm not going to rush this review, but I'd like to keep it shorter than some of the other extremely long ones that I'm tired of reading.

Story: 8
The story is pretty good, as it accurately reflects part of the manga that make it such a masterpiece. But, I'm sad to say that the animation studio for Hallow has cut out some of the best parts of the manga that make it the beautiful and moving story it is. I would have ... given it a 7/10 for it's mediocre job of imitating the manga, but I just couldn't underneath respect for the manga.

Art: 8
The art is definitely a step much higher from the original D.Gray Man anime, as they have changed the art style to match the one in the manga. I think this was a really good choice, as my mind was blown to see Hallow with such a nice change of art styles. But they do make it inconsistent at some spots, which I understand as the studio couldn't have had much funds for Hallow. Still, I'd give it a 8 for the delightful change of art styles, even though the inconsistencies kind of threw me off at times.

Sound: 9
Pretty good- much better than the sound track used in the original anime. In all reality, I loved it the original's sound track, but it was used quite a lot of times- so the newer refresh of sound tracks was quite nice I also think the sound was moving and really helped set the tone of the anime to reach a place that was as far as it could to the manga. The OP was very good and refreshing too.

Character: 10
Hallow just didn't have the same quiet sadness and internal remorse that we feel for the manga, but every character's subtle yet definite development set this score extremely high. The characters, particularly Allen and Kanda, slowly unraveled themselves and made you really feel for them. Especially the Alma Karma arc, where his art was stunning and made my heart throb in ache.

Enjoyment: 9
The inconsistent art ruined it at times for me, but besides that I enjoyed it immensely- seeing the anime version of the masterpiece of the manga.

Overall: 9
Very good anime! Definitely should watch it!

Mixed Feelings

I kinda like this season, but there's also some reason not to like it.

The story picks up where season 1 left off, and it starts off with a fight right away and it's hype. In the beginning, it kinda took its time to set the season, but then it started falling off halfway because the pacing got really fast and then things started happening for the sake of moving the plot, then more characters got introduced and there are a lot more people involved now, the stakes are high which is pretty lit. One thing that is still here that made me annoy the fuck ... out of me during season one was the comedy, again it's okay if you do it when it's just the characters bantering and shit, but it annoys me when you do it during serious scenes, if else, then i can't take the story seriously. Then we had some plot twists happening which i really liked, that kinda got me interested in the story.

I really like the animation for this season, by like, i mean a lot, because there's a big step up in the animation, i mean this is years after season 1 was made and the technology for animating became a lot better, so wouldn't be weird if the animation was still the same as season 1? There's a slight difference in the character designs as well, i almost couldn't recognize lenalee because her design looks so much different than season 1. We got new types of monsters too.

In the beginning, i didn't really notice it until Bookman spoke and i was like "Wait... that's not your VA, that's jiraiya's VA" and then it suddenly unveiled the curtain for other characters and i started hearing the differences in their voices and i was like "Oh wait! New voice actors!?!?" but props to some of them because they kinda sound similar, so it wasn't really off putting that much.

Overall, this season was okay for me, because it's a full pack of action and twists and turns, but with just a bad pacing. I'm just happy because this is the tone and vibe that I was looking for in season 1.

This is just a complete disappointment.

I really loved the old anime. I loved the aesthetics, the creepy scenery, the overall dark tone, the seiyuu, the art style, the soundtrack and the pace. And a lot more.

That's why I was also really hyped up for Hallow... but that was just an extreme disappointment.

The pace and the art style are one of the worst things. I also don't like the color palette and the seiyuus that were chosen for Hallow. Why does Hallow look so cheerful and happy when it's the exact opposite?

The expression were horrible too. They looked fake and forced and most ... of them didn't even remotely look like they did in the manga. A profressional should know how to draw proper expressions.

I want to be happy that they did a sequel, but I can't. Not with something like this.

I love D. Gray-Man with my entire being, but Hallow felt like an insult towards D. Gray-Man and Hoshino herself. Allen was protrayed totally different in Hallow - I was very butthurt by that, since Allen is my absolute favorite.
Especially after the horrible poster I lost ALL my respect for this studio. This incident made even Hoshino upset. I'm sure some of you know what I'm referring to.

However, some shots (mostly scenery) in Hallow were good, only some though. It was very inconsistent and the anatomy was kind of weird.

I'm sorry if this review comes off as rude, but I can't bring myself to write any positive things of Hallow. There aren't many I can think of either. I'm sorry.
