Changing Artstyle

 Once more: Possible SPOILERS TO LATEST CHAPTER, you have been warned!

Hi everyone! I don't usually post here, just kinda stalk and comment lol.

But I wanted to bring up the latest GORGEOUS new chapter that came out recently!

Or so everyone says.

Don't get me wrong at all, I LOVE the art of D. Gray-man.

It's just that I was thinking I miss the old style,
like
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/60/13/
and here
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/61/02/

Very different from:
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/182/01/
and
http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/182/17/

Same Allen, same mangaka, totally different.

I'm not complaining, but I was wondering if people had thoughts. As for me, I think the newer style is much sharper, more bloodier, and my friend says it's much "cooler". But I miss the kinda simpler, hilarious, style of the earlier days. I like these http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/82/02/ and http://onemanga.com/D.Gray-Man/82/04/

 

Just making conversation. Thoughts? Discuss<3 :D

AH THAT'S THE WORD!
"Visual overload"

Yesssss, that's the word I was looking for?
You're right, the amount of detail recently, for me at least, is pretty darn impressive. It's like, wow! But at the same time... there's a feeling of "visual overload."

At first I thought, maybe there's more blood? Did the art get more gore-y? But that wasn't quite right. I guess it just got, heavier.

No complaints here, but thanks for sorting that out. :] I just couldn't put my finger on it..

It's like, "Wow, so much detail. *impressed*" and yet at the same time you have to think a little to see what's really going on.
"Visual overload"
Ty for the word. XD<3
