High School DxD is becoming my favorite anime of the Winter 2012 season!! The fanservice is awesome, Rias-sempai is awesome and we’re going right into the harem route.
So well, in the end Issei died and was resurrected as a devil… nay, as Rias-sempai’s little brother… and slave. Honestly, the whole S&M undertones are totally erotic. A hot oneesama dominant type, Rias, and her otouto (yes, I’m jealous!!) and now Issei himself who may get (some day~) the chance to get his own harem of slaves (so by the transitive property, they’d also be Rias’ slaves!! Doujinshis please!)… This series is really something! So I hear all you need to do is to die, then you are resurrected as a devil under Rias-sempai, and the Gremory family, protection? Honestly, and all you need to do is die?? This sounds too easy to be true!

And she puts on her sexy underwear in front of her slave. Well, he's just an slave (plus otouto) in the end. Honestly, this anime is more than just oppai (and who hates oppai? nobody). It has a very erotic flair to it.
So to make it short, apparently Issei had a not very welcome power, but now that he’s an official member of the Gremory family, not only fallen angels, but angels sent by God himself may be targeting them. As could be expected, the Occult club is just a cover for what they really do, but in the end it may not be that different from a normal school club except for all the master-slave relationship stuff.

The loli resident of the Occult Club. And why is Issei imagining a member of the Occult Club wearing bloomers? Don't ask me, but that's the fetish~ sweet
As I already said, the fanservice is superb, especially Rias sempai who is shown naked half the episode, and her already trademark dark underwear… very fitting to a devil. Yeah, although now a nun appeared (just how many nuns are there in the 2D world?!), we can understand why being evil sounds so much more appealing than being good and following God’s path. I mean… Rias-sempai who, as a good devil, doesn’t seem too troubled by morals regarding sexuality. The potential here is enormous, but meanwhile Isseis’ first task as a devil just involved… talking about a certain Dragoso Ball series with an otaku. So otakus can make pacts with devils, something like your soul in exchange for getting a cute loli to cosplay? Where do I have to sign?
Anyway, as usual what I fear from dark series (dark even in the literal sense, a lot of night and scenes in dark places) is lack of light-hearted plot, but here we have fanservice, harem and otakus. Also Issei was able to fend off a fallen angel, but the good news is this time the fallen angel was a hot oneechan. If you are going to get killed, better be by a hot girl!

A wild nun appears! (Also, if we are to trust the hints given by Issei's alarm clock, she will become his imouto?)

The ED has some pretty sexy moves, but it's impossible to capture then with still images, and I'm too lazy to make a flash video out of it





I like the ED very much!
The moves looks dynamic and avant-garde
The ED pretty much shocked everyone. Totally amazing.
You can actually see the dude’s “cojones” when his mom opened the door. Just an observation.
Lol cojones xD
I guess I was just too busy looking at Reas-sempai’s oppai :3
Don’t let the horrible translation quality of the fansubs you seemed to base the review on mislead you. “Slave” is complete BS, it’s “Servant”. And Rias is about the kindest master you can think of.
I’m not being misled, I can understand Japanese, the word is 下僕 but I prefer the meaning of slave too in this context
“Slave” has a clearly denigrating connotation which is never justified by Rias’ behavior. Just the opposite, she’s calling him “ototo”. Heck, she’s even ASKING him if he’s fine with her calling him Issei.
*shrug*
Doesn’t fit at all in my book.
Denigrating? Well if you can’t see the erotic qualities of all the implied S&M-type relationship, then you may be troubled if you try to find any other meaning
Heh
Well… I assume you might not know the novel material, then. The relationship between Issei and Rias is very different to any meaning of “slave”. But okay, let’s wait and see.
As long the as the ending will be a harem end I can watch this.
It might. Issei is definitely gunning for one.
Even with the possibly-excessive highlight on the ecchi bits, the story’s pretty good too. Also, The VA’s they chose really suit the characters imo.
This show definitely defines: “boner approved”. the oppai look so delicious.
Can’t wait for next weeks episode.
you bet, bonerific. It’s more than just some healthy boobs. It’s erotic to the bone! To the boner! Lol
I think the “actual” harem won’t begin until episode 12 or 13. I’ve read until vol2 and there’s lots of action in two volumes enough to fill an entire season.
I have spoiled myself on the novel too, and i gotta say, if they do it right this show’s gonna be(stay) awesome! But i think the scenes i want to see will be in OVA format on the last BD’s lots of month from now… if i’m lucky.
BTW, Sergio you gotta read the novels! Even if you dont post summaries, i promise you it’s good, it goes harem all the way.
THAT ENDING! 0w0 I LOVE! <3
Now THIS is how you do an ecchi harem protagonist! Issei is winning me over in ways I can't explain. The guy knows what he is and wants, is completely unapologetic about it, manages to show a strong personality despite NOT having a tragic backstory and his dream makes many of us who can only dream to be in his circumstances shed tender tears for his happiness. ..for he embodies what most of us would want to do in his position.(and even if so probably won't) He makes the best of the what life he gives him and heck, unlike other harem leads: he's actually pretty grateful for his new life. i haven't been this taken by a a harem protag since Yosuga no Sora's Haru.
Es obvio de como sera esta serie al principio abra mucho mucho harem y alfinal se quedara con rias sempai esta mui obvio
“Harem Ou ni ore wa naru!” w> I watched it non-stop for almost an hour ~w~
This anime is something I will be looking forward to. Might as well be my Winter season fav. Gotta love the S&M play.
PS: Rias-sempai is mine!
You’re really a pervert aren’t you?
Maybe.But im still not as perverted as you are
Aren’t we all?
Amen.
