Nice episode. When I say High School DxD is my kind of thing, this is what I mean. Interesting but not annoying/pretentious plot, a succession of more serious episodes and light-hearted episodes, interesting (and totally hot) girls and romance.

So Koneko-chan (hell, I love these “I hate shameless people” girls!) pretty much made Issei understand where his true inner strength is: his perviness. Focus, imagine pervy things, and your powers will grow (apart from other things)! Coupled with his resolve not to be the underdog and protect everyone after pretty much confessing to Rias-sempai, and we are set for the finale.

Well, here it is. I had more or less figured out that an arranged marriage would lead to this type of plot development. To be honest, it’s not the development I’d prefer. Although this will surely bring Issei and Rias a lot closer –I’m sure they will win the Rating Game, and Issei will be the one to kick ass- I’m not all that comfortable when I have to hate someone in anime. But for good or evil this is what this otherwise really good series – I’m going to give the novels a try too! – has in store for us, so let’s look forward to that moment when Issei and Rias and everyone else will kick, extinguish, kill or whatever that Raizer guy. Apart from reeking of netorare, that guy is an asshole.
