I'm glad to see the series incorporating this part of the story even if it's out of the correct order and with the addition of Lenalee and Toma. I just think that this is an important part of the series' background because not only it reveals Allen's past, but it also shows that there is more to the Earl of the Millennium than a standard villain character. I think at the end of the day, D.Gray-man is not so much about a battle between good and evil but rather a battle to prevent humanity's extermination. I think the reason that humanity and the Black Order sees the Earl as the 'bad guy' is simply because his existence threatens human's life. Animation-wise, this is a pretty solid episode with little to no bad drawing. I'm also glad that the brightness has been increased so I don't have to squint my eyes to see the action scenes that take place in the dark.
