D.Gray-man Hallow - Ep.2: Lonely Boy | Anime Reviews

D.Gray-man Hallow continues to pump out nothing but quality.

Holy crap, that was an intense episode.

If you watched last week’s episode of D.Gray-man Hallow, you’ll remember it ended on a particularly dark note. This week’s episode picks up right where that left off, with Allen discovering these events. Despite his initial stab at Allen and the Fourteenth being responsible, Director Rouvelier suspects that the Central Agency of the Black Order may be behind this, and returns to those headquarters after announcing the presence of the Fourteenth in Allen’s body.

Soon after, Allen, Kanda, Marie, and Link all head off on an operation to capture the mysterious Phantom Thief G, who is suspected of carrying Innocence. After multiple mishaps and stopping him from stealing an heirloom, the group tracks G to an orphanage and find that he’s really a boy named Timothy. From here, chaos breaks loose.

This episode is action-packed. From start to finish, we’ve got nothing but well animated and well choreographed fight scenes that really show off the stellar animation of this series. As well, the actors have stepped up their game and deliver some fantastic performances.

Plenty of plot exists in the episode as well, with a good amount of well-done humor to back it up. The trademark mixture of action, drama, comedy, and horror exists just as it always has in D.Gray-man, and this week’s episode of Hallow shows it off better than ever before.

I can’t really say much else about this week’s episode, but if you had any doubts about D.Gray-man Hallow before, it’s time to toss them out, because this episode shows off that this series is one worth sticking around for.

OVERALL RATING:
10/10
