Anime DGM Theater Hang Out Thread

[Silverwolf442]

Sad about the VA change, mainly Cross for me. lol
But I am still excited for the anime. The new voices may be better. So I reserve disappointment until we actually get to hear the voices.

 

[kannazuki]

Allen, Kanda, and Lavi are like vocal doppelgangers:
(Allen tells Kanda to come out and S-M-I-L-E for the fans; Kanda tells him to shut up, Lavi says he's "scary as usual," and Kanda tells him not to call him by his first name.)

I liked the VAs haha the way he said Moyashi was cool

 

[fuff]

kanda new va sounds like the va of shizuo (drr!!)/kuroh yatogami (k)

 

[Coah]

Another little clip.

considering that from destruction of black order till the alma karma arc is only 42 chapters,unlike the original anime where they had 158 chapters to animate,it is possible that this new anime won't have many episodes,considering that the original anime had only 20 filler episodes (out of 103) and the canon episodes have a really quick pacing animating 2 or 3 chapters per episode,it is possible that hallow will have around 20 to 26 episodes,making it a 2 cour anime.in other words it would end/finish in either December 2016 or February 2017.it is also possible that they'll release OVAs.

Since it will probably be a 2 cour anime,it will either have:

A-1 opening and 2 endings
or
B-2 openings and 2 endings.

The latter is more probable.

I wonder if a third and hopefully good d.gray-man video game will be released.

 

[fuff]

since the manga is qauterly....does that mean they will end up showing fillers or end the anime short?

 

[susanoo13]

One option is as you say, cut it short. Anoher which as the least probable is since Hoshino said she already had the end in mind, is that she works with the dierctor for continuing the plot ahead of the manga. She did have more thn enough time to thinkabout everything and even though she didn't draw it all she might have written a script.

thats true i guess we can only wait and see. but still disspointed in the VA changes....for all of them...i still remember the original lol

Except DGM isn't anywhere near the end that can pull it off. Beside, she added "the ending I had in mind just drifted far and far away" so I don't think that line can be applied anymore

Not sure if this is the right thread, but I was wondering if anyone caught any parts worth translating/subbing?

I think the anime will cover up till vol 25 (just 1-2 chapters to fill it) and then end. It's a lot but I don't think she would spoil the manga letting her plans getting animated first. And I hope maybe after the manga is over, we can have a reboot like FMA: Brotherhood.

About the VAs, I'm happy with them. Loved the old ones but couldn't find any difference (till now) that was unpleasent for me.

 

[Silverwolf442]

The new anime style certainly makes the old one look wooden and dull. DGM Hallow definitely seems to have its game stepped up from the last anime, where it now has more vivid detail.

Using comparisons Old vs. New

Had had some different ones for Lenalee, and couldn't decide which showed better, so here's different shot combos for her.

 

[Sullyan]

I like all the designs less than Allen. (He has a baby face!) And Tikki design.
The voices are heard well, the voice of Lavi has surprised me positively and Kanda too. They are much like the previous voices.
I hope to encourage many episodes

 

[NonExisted]

Why Allen has blue eyes is still a mistery for me

I'm kinda glad that they keep his white eyelashes

Perhaps the animators were finished in light gray color palette?
He increased his resemblance to Sasha Nikolaevich.O_o
Although, I much prefer this form of 2016 than in 2006. Fresh! I'm so happy and excited!

Looking, I do prefer Allen in the 2006 version. But only because he looks a bit older. But the art work is still very nice. Tyki, thus far, looks the best I think.

Hopefully, they do well with Cross' design and voice. But may be toward the end of the year at best before I find out. Oh well. The anime should be nice. I am reluctant to watch the previous anime over again, as I didn't think it did the manga justice.

That's what I meant, he does not look 16 years old. You may want to highlight its sweetness is well appreciated for switching between Allen and Nea.
Edit: comparison Lavi? xD His hair has changed too xDD

Well Lavi always had orange hair, going on Hoshino's work. So seems the anime team corrected it. Same with Cross' hair. Both of them had light hair, to Orange hair in Hosgino's work. The anime took the liberty and decided to give them both dark red to burgundy hair. So we know Lavi's hair has been fixed.

TY SILVERWOLF for the 2006/2016 comparison pics!!

I still find it so amusing that manga style changes so often.
I also wonder if the animation is going to follow the manga style or just pick one style and be consistent to it.
Some of the scenes are so distinctive that I can't imagine it in a different style.

I think the PV showed some great adaptations though.
From PV:

Interestingly swapped Johnny for Lavi and Komui for Link on the boat. I guess Lavi really needed more screentime. I hope they don't cut out the "hey Allen, did you know you speak more casually now?" scene, because it affects the later scene:

I hope the DGM Hallow is willing to adapt the silly ridiculous expressions too and not be too stiff.
