Impressions:

The second episode features a synopsis of the world affairs regarding the three major powers, as well as the presence of the great energy collecting solar constructs. Thankfully, the three superpowers are already being differentiated, while Celestial Beings are slowly being defined. It seems like they plan on crushing the world so badly that, there would be no choice but to cease fighting. I’d like to hear about the Gundam Meisters’ motivation for joining such a reason—Setsuna’s reason doesn’t seem strong enough to put him in a mental position where he’s willing to commit such murders.

Impressions:

Some parts of this episode look amazing; both action and relatively still scenes had their moments. The filler arc has finally come to an end (I think, with the next episode being a transition episode), and naturally, everything goes back to the way they were at the start of the arc (with no new exorcists or anything). D.Gray-man should be getting a lot better now, and as I’ve said before, the manga is just awesome. I hope they somehow incorporate the large battle scene on the boat again (Linali needs to show off some of her more advanced powers). xD Looking forward to upcoming episodes!

Sorry for the lack of screenshots in my posts—I’ll be able to put more effort into blogging pretty soon, once I catch up on my work. Anyway, this episode, with its rather low quality, is surprisingly entertaining with its adventure elements. Seeing Ichigo, Ishida and Chad stumble from place to place, bickering and coming across various obstacles etc; a rather nice change from the usual Bleach. It’s unfortunate that they leave Nell’s appearance until last, which only lasts about a few seconds. Hopefully, the next episode will be able to exhibit a standard of quality higher than that of this week’s episode.
