DGM Hang Out Thread

[Jaymie]

Well, Anime take months and months of negotiation. Then there's directors and editors and cast members and contracts... Anime usually aren't even announced until there's promotional material available, and that's done pretty late in the stage. So a DGM sequel could definitely be in the works.

I'd love another 52-episode season, but I'm not sure if there's enough material. There would have to be a lot of filler, in any case, so maybe 26 episodes would be a better idea. They can end it after Allen leaves the Order. Cross's disappearance, the Timothy arc, the Alma Karma arc, and the Seed of Destruction arc could probably fill up 26 episodes.

The raw says "貧乏神がアニメ化". Binbougami-ga got an anime, not d.gray.

I translated the interview~

Ask Hoshino Katsura-sensei!

Q: Is there anything you pay special attention to when you draw a character?
"I draw while thinking very hard about that character."

Q: Are there any mangaka you admire and respect?
"Akimoto Osamu, Obata Takeshi and Tanaka Tatsuyuki."

Q: Is there a manga you read every month or week?
"Nothing in particular. I read whatever I'm interested in at the time."

Q: If you could collaborate with another manga, who would you want to work with?
"Akimoto Osamu."

Q: Which manga did you like when you were a child?
"Majin Boukentan Lamp Lamp." (T/N: official kanji: 魔神冒険譚 ランプ・ランプ)

Q: If you could become one of your characters, which one would you like to be?
"Demon Eye Wisely."

Q: Is there a character line you love?
"Whenever Krory says "Don't call me a vampire!" to Jasdevi."

Q: Is there a profession you would have liked to have aside from mangaka?
"A cafe/coffee lounge owner." (T/N: Just google pictures of 喫茶店.)

Q: Which scene is your favorite?
"The last scene between Lala and Guzol in the Mater Arc."

Q: Please tell us where you pay special attention to in your manga.
"It's a heavy story, so I take care not to forget about the characters themselves."

Q: The character's clothes are very cute. Do you design them yourselves?
"I do. But it's always a struggle because I'm bad at it."

Q: Is there a reason why Kanda has long hair?
"I wanted an exorcist that looked exactly opposite of Allen. That's why I gave Kanda long hair."

@0@ Thank you for translating so quickly! ♥

/screams and runs off into the sunset because of her Krory answer

Hehe, she'd be Wisely, hm? With what she knows about him that no one else does, I wonder what that could also mean... Or maybe she'd just like his power. >v>

And the Mater arc... ( / ; A ; )/ I suppose that explains why she remembered it and tied it in with Alma's end. ;w;

May I post this translation to Tumblr? I'll source the post to your post in this thread. ; v ; )/

[verduister]

^ Sure, go ahead.

[Niko_kun]

the question i wanted to read: "what is your sickness about?" :// poor Hoshino, hopefully shes getting better :3

[Mango-chan]

Hoshino's wrist is always messed up because she spends too much time fussing over the perfect outfit. *shot*

[Bloomerwedgies]

^LOL.
All those stripes take time! And of course she has to spend countless hours references vintage Fluevog and TUK catalogues for everybody's boots.

[Jaymie]

It's this time of month again... I'm staying cautiously optimistic about the next chapter.

Hoshino really needs to get out of the 'one volume per year' routine though. In a couple of days Viz will be caught up with Japan. That's an awesome thing for North American fans because DGM will probably have near-simultaneous releases from now on, but it's a clear sign that it isn't being published fast enough if the translators are faster than the author.

[Naomidee]

Cautiously optimistic is right! But then again, I'm already getting jitters and once they've gotten bad enough, I won't be able to hold my excitement back anymore. Cannot wait for some D.Gray-Man. My fix is so overdue that it's not even funny!

Is it just me, or does Hoshino seem totally and socially awkward?

[Jaymie]

Most mangaka are reclusive by nature, but Hoshino definitely takes it a step further. We didn't even know her gender until 2008. And in that one video of her drawing a picture of Allen and the Millennium Earl she went on a rapid fire apology spree after drawing Allen's pentacle upside down. If she were an Anime character, she would be the clumsy, shy girl who apologizes profusely all the time.

[yukilove21]

Basically, Hoshino is a major cutie pie.

Oooo, I'm getting really excited too! I can barely keep it to myself, ahaha!
