It’s just too bad that the band’s reunion comes on the heels of the franchise’s most significant developments, and this first episode wastes no time in emphasizing how wary the Black Order’s higher ups are now that it’s confirmed that Allen not only holds the Fourteenth’s implanted memories, but will likely be consumed to become his host as he resumes his attempt to kill the Earl with his own hands. Lenalee and Allen continue to be one of my favorite potential pairings, Allen and Cross continue to bicker with one another in a way only Master and abused Pupil can, Kanda’s still ribbing the former on his bean sprout status, and the rest of the cast generally fits in nicely in the ways we’ve come to expect. The dark atmosphere’s just as foreboding as it was previously, the musical compositions are similar stylistically (you’ll note how little Kanda’s Mugen theme has changed), and many of the character interactions remain unchanged.
Thankfully, they’re all things you’ll get used to by the time the episode’s done (or hopefully in the near future), and it’s important to note how not everything has changed in regards to the overall content. The fact that there’s been a long hiatus lowers the impact of these changes, but there’s a lot to get used to here in this new iteration, and it’s decision to resume almost immediately after the events of the original also makes it a bit difficult to get into the swing of things given all that’s happened in the series so far. Having now survived various publishing issues/switches, hiatuses, and creator sicknesses- D.Gray-man has finally returned, and the first thing to note is just how much has changed since then.Ī different backdrop comes on the heels of a newly built HQ, the cast returns with fancy new uniforms and new character designs, and a brand new voice cast takes the spot in lieu of the original. As a big fan of the original series, this was a franchise I was sad to see go (especially after we finally got to see the Generals in action), and one I hoped would return after everything sorted itself out. Seeing D.Gray-man again after nearly eight years-yeah, it’s kind of like that.
There’s a part of you that can’t really believe what’s going on, yet there they are in the flesh, right in front of you. There’s that feeling one gets when a chance meeting occurs and you reunite with someone you haven’t seen in a long time. OP: 「Key -bring it on, my Destiny-」 by Lenny code fiction
