Despite Hoshino’s comment about the new series being a continuation, the anime’s official website and Twitter have yet to make any confirmations about the news. Here is Hoshino’s full comment in Instagram:

Thanks to everyone who went to the D.Gray-man stage today. As was said in the announcement, a new series has been green-lit. Because the staff will be completely different, the story will be a continuation, but I think it will become a completely new D.Gray-man anime. Thank you for everyone who’s supported me until now.

The 2016 anime will contain a brand new cast than the previous 2006 anime, that will include:

  • Ayumu Murase (Rui Ninomiya from Gatchaman Crowds) will voice Allen Walker
  • Shinnosuke Tachibana (Shinichi Tamaki in Yamada-kun to 7-nin no Majo) voices Howard Link

The anime’s website has also revealed that TMS Entertainment (Yowamushi Pedal, Detective Conan) will return to animate the series.

The first promotional video has also been released at the event:
