I really like the artistic decision that the animators made in this episode. There are several frames which clearly an attempt to present the episode in an experimental manner, something which I never thought I'll see from a Shounen series.

As a result, there's an immediate sense of familiarity the minute you watch a new episode. On the other hand, D.Gray-man is a lot harder to identify due to its lack of consistent art style.
