The latest news from Manga Entertainment, the biggest distributor of manga and anime in the UK, has announced that it will no longer be releasing D. Gray-Man anime due to various reasons. No, it is not because of lack of fans, or at least this was not stated in the message.
The main reason behind the decision is that Funimation hasn’t taken on the next half of the series (episodes 52 and above) and Manga Entertainment does not have any dubs available. Obviously, this is bad news for many of Hoshino-san’s fans in the UK and probably most of Europe.
Hopefully, both Funimation and Manga decide to acquire the rights for the second season of the anime since it’s pretty disappointing for the fans to have only half of the anime on their shelves.

You funny man
Dropping “D. Gray-man”?! Are they crazy?!
Jokes aside, I really hope that’s not because of bad sales.
Hugs for you, dear! Of course it’s not! I am sure they’ll think of something…maybe borrowing some fan subs?
THAT would be awkward
Bad sales. What else can it be?
Since they don’t do the dub themselves, it is more than convenient to not acquire it because of the lack of English voiceover. I can hardly believe this anime had sales problems.
Not seeing (it on TV) is believing…
Well…that’s one of the best shounen manga out there, so they’ll sort it out hopefully.
True enough.
