The artist of D.Gray-Man is a great artist she was one of Obata's editors and she learned a lot from Obata (Obata is the artist who draw Death Note).

[@damjanmilenkovic5191]

Ok

[@artorhen]

Their styles and storytelling are super different though, she's definitely made it because she always had it in her rather than from his help.

[@nichopocho]

Hoshino wasn't Obata editor, she said that he is her favourite manga artist.

[@zinzolin14]

Wow that really explains a lot! You can see the inspiration in the artwork of DGM

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

This explains many artistic decisions.

[@strohhuttv8848]

I think the art of D.Gray-Man pushes the show a lot. I love the 19th century gothic and Christianity art style it has a lot of personality. Is unique and different in a good way.

[@cecily796]

[@Larindarr]

me too hehehe I think its because its the most realistic and relatable. The characters do struggle and face serious issues and we see them struggle and overcome.

I was very into DGM in high school and read it until Hoshino went on hiatus. I remember it being one of those series that really inspired me to draw

[@shenanigans8353]

Hoshino's art alone makes the three month wait for new chapters well worth it on the regular

[@violetlunablossom817]

Your DGM videos are always a delight! Her art evolution is honestly amazing and with each chapter, it only gets more beautiful.

[@Shivagaming7746]

it makes me soo happy that people still talks about D Grayman thank you

[@amalna2016]

DGM is one of my main art inspiration! honestly even in the beginning of the manga you could tell Hoshino did have a vision and knew exactly what she wanted to do. The art in the last few chapters is wonderful, but it still holds the same vision and aesthetic of the first few volumes which is amazing. Some of the series lose this "visual aesthetic" that was in the beginning of their story in favor of drawing something better/ amazing. btw thanks for giving this manga a spotlight!

[@adyLuna72]

God i love katsura hoshino and her evolution in art style for d gray man. Its been more than 10 yrs and i still love the series. Honestly im still very updated and i would wait to buy the volumes too cus of it

Nicole well no offense but back in those days anime wasn’t anywhere near as big as it is now. I wanna see DGM get some current clout.

[@unglue7835]

D.Gray-Man was one of the things that got me hooked with gothic concepts at so young 🥹 and really, Allen was my anime crush for such a long ass time. He’s so hot with his white hair and contrasting red scar.

[@Golden-uk7tp]

Just read the latest chapter, this manga is just different, the feels and the emotions in the characters are just awesome and well delivered, the story behind everyone of the characters is iconic and unique. It's really underrated and it's saddening to see that. I hope it gains more popularity, because this is literally a gem and better than many of the other famous mangas out there

[@Larindarr]

agree. All I see out there is overly violent aggressive shouting characters with rough designs and art. I dont like it one bit. This manga makes you pause feel and think.

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

I think of D Gray Man's art a lot as Square Enix designs. When D Gray starts the art reminds me of Kingdom Hearts, with more captivating designs, bigger eyes and a certain FMA vibe. But when the story tightens, a more Final Fantasy look mixed with Death Note and Angel Sanctuary enters the art is more detailed and darker even if the colors are FF is a very stylish art, it just didn't convince me to invest in the narrative because I have many to read. Good relaxing video with art upgrade.

[@Sirvaria]

Aaah thank you so much for this video, its something i didnt know i craved until now 💚 Its so amazing to see a piece of art/a series, or rather an artist, evolve like this. Especially for a long running series like dgm it feels like it grew up alongside me and vice versa. With some media it feels like you remember it with rose tinted glasses and when you actually see it again you're shocked that it doesnt look as good as you remember it. But with dgm its different, the newer chapters always look the way the older ones seem to look in my memories, yet i am constantly in awe how much the series changed. Not just in looks but also story and depth....

[@siginotmylastname3969]

I honestly think she must have had a journey of finding what works for her at least a little shaped by the hiatuses etc. Also because as a disabled person I find her art so good for representing different disabled people! It's there in Allen's Crown clown(he literally levels up by just going one armed with a weapon like...), Marie's blindness(where he's not a simple super hearing because disabled situation, he had a life before losing sight in adulthood that shapes his abilities and notably even gets drawn with non stereotypical eyes for a blind character sometimes), the strength Lenalee continues to show after losing so much mobility because of the limits of dark boots being reached, even casual shots of Johnny in a wheelchair as he's recovering. I love how she portrays disability throughout despite having no idea what her intentions or thoughts on these things are.

[@Larindarr]

[@Mysticalsnow9678]

This series absolutely needs an anime reboot. Bc of all the hiatuses and breaks, it would be extremely difficult for new viewers and audiences to pick up this story, especially after so much time between seasons. A reboot now, would definitely boost its popularity and would help garner a bigger audience. Not to mention that this series NEEDS to be redone, preferably by a better studio. We need a new slate, to reintroduce this series as an anime again, rather than trying to salvage what we have while missing important and impactful moments the anime chose to omit.
