| 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. |
 |
| ...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... |
Koreth said: Although I still don't like that the main char is still so damned young... 15, WTF ?! 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 |
| Protip: I don't really check the forums anymore, so if you want something, take it on my profile. Is it time for my long-awaited return to the forums? щ(ﾟДﾟщ) Nope™, probably not. |
| oO I never thought about those Exorcists unable to see the Akuma... Very nice Episode ^^ Lenalee is awesome and cute =) Right! Hope, she recovers soon ^^ |
| Damn, I love Lavi already *_* But I love Allen more :p |

  |
| 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. :) |

| Really, Lavi? Trying to catch the golden snitch like that? |
     |
| Quite a strong episode, it was nice to know how other exorcists see demons from their perspective. |
| Lavi ftw! |

 |
| The uniforms have meaning (they have to what else is it for fashon?) Well the episode was great and kind of well said. Allen's dubbed voice is HOT!!! (yes i know it's Todd) Lavi pretty cool powers can't wait to see more of his powers in DUB. I've seened the whole thing but worth wacthing again!!! |
 |
| I actually liked this episode. It changed the way I see the exorcists from these series a little d: |
| I love Lavi! He's so cute/ funny. |
| yay lavi! hese a cool guy im gald they put him in ,but i still like ganta and allen better |
 |
| Nice episode, great action and a nice sight on how other exorcists need to handle the demons! Lavi seems like quite a fun character his weapon is also quite nice! |
 |
| Lavi was badass. That damn hammer rocks! Loved this episode. |
 |
| I always thought Lavi is a kid in the opening, turns out he is crouching there :). Also why is he top main character? Isn't Allen the main main character? (I'm talking about how they are listed in the characters section of the anime, hmm). |
 |
| In a way, Allen has it easy with that eye of his. Somehow that hammer really suits Lavi's character, ha. |
90s J-rock was our aesthetic peak. |
| I never really thought about how scary it is for Exorcists to walk in public not knowing who's human and who's an akuma. Allen's really lucky he has his left eye. |
"May those who accept their fate be granted happiness." "May those who defy their fate be granted glory." |
| Pretty amazed. Reading a topic on a prominent mma forum and found a guy who sounds just like Yoshi when he's having a bad day....and his username is....EVILYOSHIDA (yes in caps). http://www.MixedMartialArts.com/thread/1964223/Misconceptions-About-Yamamoto-and-Gomi/?&page=1 Becomes clear by page 3 |
"The f**ker who goes round beating people to a pulp. He thinks it'll never happen to himself. But there's gonna be a day when the f**ker gets f**king beaten to a pulp too. But that day's f**king today and the guy doing the beating is a f**king c**t." - Sang-hoon, Breathless (2009)    |
| I actually had the same question as Allen when he was little about wearing flashy clothes that is obvious to people (or some people, looks like most ppl aren't aware of the existence of exorcists or Akuma). Turns out there was a reason for it. Recent episodes have been giving me a double take, I do like the depth it's going for. Like other people, it also never occurred to me the fear and necessary paranoia the other exorcists go through. Being an exorcist really isn't a joke, and it's no wonder only Allen seem to be shocked that a human could be on the side of the Millennium Earl and the Akuma. I guess getting his eye hurt was sort of a blessing in disguise, opening his eyes to what it really means to be an exorcist and furthering his resolve. Lavi was right, Allen is a child, and he's naive. Only naive people would think that there would be no humans that side with the Akuma. Loved Lavi's intro, he's so chill. Always need one of those upbeat guys around, and he's the best kind since while he's upbeat, he isn't an idiot either. Lavi's hammer Innocence is cool too, although it's quite destructive... At first I didn't feel like SuzuKen fit Lavi's image, but after a few minutes I think it's good. I can't say next season's Hanaecchi as Lavi will be any better though, lol. |
| It seems that Lavi will have a big role in the events in the coming times because, as it appeared, it seems to me somewhat strong and finally Allen's eye has returned to this very cool |
| Good episode. I'm really liking Lavi so far. |
  |
| The uniforms being lures are actually a pretty neat idea, though not good for the Exorcists' mental health |
 |
| Lavi's a certified likeable character, I can already feel. Not just talk but he has moves too, with that super flexible hammer of his. And quite an acceptable aspect towards Akuma as well, because unlike Allen these people have no way of knowing who's human and who's akuma, so better view everyone as latter. |
