| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well it looks like they've switched over to time stretching mode, this episode covered like 1 chapters of manga. Oh well, the new OP and ED were decent. |
  |
| seems that way noahs will fall one after another.. i see easy 10-12 episodes untill allen gets some action again. new op was great but ed is okish |

Typical shounen adaptation. Hopefully once all the exorcists meet their Noah counterpart, the battles will quicken a bit. |
| Not much to say about the actual episode...good enough. I really hope they don't drag any of the battles TOO long. I really like the new opening though. The ending's pretty good too. |
     |
| A decent episode, not overly exciting, not too boring. I'm glad to finally see Skinn Bolic's ability, and I'm glad to see an exorcist finally stand his ground solo against a noah. The noah's have been wiping the ground with exorcists until kanda showed up. |
 |
| the new opening is full of spoilers again but i thought it is great even though i prefer the previous opening theme. as for the ending, i like it better than the previous one, the tune's more catchy in my opinion. finally the real action begins! |
 |
| Doesn't feel like much happened, Skin sure is an odd one with his 1v1 preference =/. The new opening and ending were ok, I didn't get much of a thrill from either but I liked the ending song. Next ep looks like it'll be a close fight. |
 |
| This was a real turn-off for me, they changed the, perfectly good, song into, well, trash. Ending sucks too. About the timestretching-mode=> i totally agree, this sucks, Allen finally changed and all he got was one lousy fight(ish). On the bright side, Kanda gets pwnd :) |
| ~de Arimasu |
| imo, i thought the opening song was really good.. im a sucker for UVERworld and kanda is so jokes. hehe we get to see more of his fight next week ^_^ |
 |
| I love the animation in this episode, everyone was drawn so detailed ^^ And I loved the scene with Kanda casting Kaichuu Ichigen on Allen and the others. I was really looking forward to see it in the anime XD Oh yes, the new OP is great, I've seen it on tuesday already, couldn't wait for the translation. ^.^ |
 |
| I liked more the ending than the opening...But the opening was ok And the battle of Kanda begins...This episodes will be a little boring for me because I don't really like Kanda...oh well,I hope they don't drag it for too long. |
| at least the strech doesn't seem quite as long as in Shippuuden...yet xD |
 |
| I thought the new OP was pretty OK. I've never been big on the techno route for D. Gray-man OP's, and while the song isn't any "D-Technolife," it's not terrible... Plus, the new animation was pretty tight. I'd agree, the ED is much less obnoxious. It's never good when you become aware of the show dragging its feet DURING the episode. I initially got into D. Gray-man 'cause I thought it was going to be a contained story and not stretch out for all eternity (does anyone know if the end's in sight for the manga?). That being said, it was a pretty decent episode. The battle animation was done pretty well, and considering how sparse the battles have seemed lately, it's a nice change-up. Though the thought of watching 3-4 more duels with Noahs in the upcoming weeks is somewhat sullied by predictability. |
 |
| zomg Earl's is damn cool in the op,(that fatso) |
 |
| liked it...loved the new OP...is the pacing really that bad from the manga? i've only seen the anime so far... |
| the new OP isn't too bad. I mean, it's no Doubt & Trust but it'll do. Slow anime is slow |
 |
| ONE thing to say "We haven't seen anything yet!!!" |
 "A Legend is but a tale of a beautiful lie." |
| The new OP is pretty good, the ED is okay. (Better than the last one.) But I prefer the previous OP, personally. Joy. More Kanda eps on their way. (that was sarcasm.) I do not like him, and I'm looking forward to watching him get pwned by Skinn. :D Although he'll probably end up beating Skinn eventually. I have to admit, it'll be nice to see a Noah finally loose to an exorcist... Road seems to like Allen the best out of the exorcists. (taken a fancy to him, perhaps?) Or she likes torturing him best, but either way I'm going to use it to back up the crack pairing that is AllenRoad. xD |
| Wonder how long this fight is going to end up... |
 |
| ok, the convo b/w Skinn & Kanda was really boring & dumb (not really Kanda's fault though). I miss the previous OP :-( |
 |
| Wow Kanda was really hot in this one. Too bad that the Noah guy is still alive. Oh well the fight should end soon XD |
| Love the new opening and ending. Love it. Kanda vs Skin. The animation is pretty good as well. |
| I hate this episode, b/c last night I had the dream where I was going through the doors and my fellow exorcists were being swarmed by rats and stuff.. and then I ended up in Tyki's room (Gosh, wouldn't this have been a better dream for a fangirl to have? I detest Tyki) and after knowing I couldn't get out we proceed to do some... um.. really.. um.. .inappropriate things. Or at least he tried to. DX And I don't even like the guy... |
MAL Book Club join if you like reading  |
| I don't like new OP. At first I thought that Kanda was silly petty tyrant. But now I think that he is brilliant XD |
| So Road is the oldest....sooo I think Tyki's in trouble...lol Kanda and Lenalee have such a weird relationship Skinn looks like a gaint sea urchin lol XD |

| Wow... the new opening ...is so weird... I still can't tell if the Noahs are disobeying their Earl or this also part of his plans... And I don't get why is Lero still stucking with them... LOL at scary Kanda: "I said I'll handle him" and he actually attacked them  !!... Good to know that he at least listens to Lenalee...Saffy said: I hate this episode, b/c last night I had the dream where I was going through the doors and my fellow exorcists were being swarmed by rats and stuff.. and then I ended up in Tyki's room (Gosh, wouldn't this have been a better dream for a fangirl to have?

I konw you don't feel the same, but I would have LOVED to have a dream like that....Tyki's HOT... |
     |
| They seemed to drag the beginning of Kanda's battle out a bit... Didn't even really start. Wouldn't be surprised if the manga seems paced better than this, though I haven't read it myself so I don't know. Hope Kanda doesn't do anything too stupid. :| From the preview, it seems like he will... Decent new opening and ending themes. I like the band that does the opening theme, but somehow it just didn't seem to fit as well with D.Gray-man as all the previous ones did... *Shrugs* I still think the animation is very pretty. Actually, there was a point in the episode where Kanda looked so pretty I was almost irritated. (He's too pretty!) But actually, he looked pretty throughout the entire episode. (Way prettier than Lenalee... sadly... XD) But yeah. I love Kanda, though somehow I do wish we got to see more of Allen since he came back. Hasn't been that much focus on him... Hardly any. Well, always plenty of time left I suppose. |
| Hopefully it wont be too long till we get to see Allen fight again but its gonna be nice to see Kanda stand his ground alone against a Noah. |
 |
| Not much happened on this episode... and I actually disliked the new OP song, meh. Ah well, I hope it gets better. |
| A lot of talking, little fighting. Want to see a real duel. |
 |
| Kanda really stays a jerk, even though he's more powerful now and the next episode will be an epic fight he's still lacking in proper character development! The golden armor on that Noah was pretty interesting and fancy :p I do wonder if they'll actually make it to the top! The new OP & ED were pretty decent! |
 |
| Why is Kanda so fucking awesome?! Anwyays, I predict that Noah will fall before he can go one-on-one with any of the other exorcists. |
 |

| I like the new OP and ED. Golden armore vs. Kandas Mugen. Seems the next episode we will see a secret technique from Kanda. The fight is decent so far. Hmm would be interesting to know what Road said to Tyki. "You are....". >.< Looking forward to the next episodes. |
 |
| The new OP is good, wasn't expecting to hear UVERworld. I liked the ED too. First OP is still the best imo. I didn't realize Allen's hair is like Sasuke hair, or is that only when he has his Innocence activated? It doesn't really suit him. Yeah this episode was alright though. Don't care for Skin, he's kind of too much for an antagonist, like super annoying and loud. Ugh. Looking forward to his demise. Usually I'll just say defeat the antagonist, but no, I want Kanda to kill Skin. I'd rather never see him again after this fight. Also, it's surprising how Lenalee can kind of intimidate Kanda, sort of like a housewife can, lol. I sort of ship her with Allen, but I think Kanda and Lenalee would be cute. Not that it matters since this isn't romance lol. |
| New OP is great Lenalee is crying even in the OP though |
 |
| Very Good Episode |
| Oh man this new OP is god awful—easily the worst of the entire series. Putting that aside, I wonder if Marshal Cross will be making his appearance anytime soon… it's getting rather tiresome. |
| Finally we are getting a true Exorcist v Noah fight... of course not we have to wait until next episode. |
 |
| Yeah I still can't figure what's so cool about Kanda. Not really interested in him so episode did nothing for me plus the pacing felt atrocious. Not sold on new OP, last one was better. ED's decent though. |
