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.
