I had watched D gray man back in middle school and loved the Allen character so much. Now after so many years suddenly I get the urge to rewatch it and its great! Then Hallow, its okay. But the manga… is so lame. Spoilers after this point: There’s a story that is told, then suddenly oh that never happened its just Allen’s false memory. Meanwhile its an integral part of the narrative because it explains the character design, his eye. The villain is Allen’s adoptive father like whatever. Allen is apparently a de-aged matrioska doll, something something bookman and thats how he got his white hair. Its an anime why does he need this absurd backstory to justify having white hair. Personality wise its making the characters feel like either husks or ridiculous compared to the 2006 anime. indeed the foundations for this story was laid out earlier, but seeing where the story went maybe it would be better if allen stayed a mystery and the open ending was final. i like a liar narrator in fiction when it’s done right but d gray man is just . I cant even be sad its not a popular anime anymore and has nt been for a long time. It does deserve the decline in popularity.
