----------------------------------------
Wow, Neko girl can carry so large thing! 10 days of training begins.

The guy is behind as usual. And his "concentration" / source of power is weird.

Another fanservice with girls taking onsen, and like neko girl says, he wants to watch girls' nudity for his power. lol~

So he got altimate skill from his skill that got help from borrowing of the sister's cloth.

The history of why rating game is born... so the 3 loyals were the many demon family alive. And Sister cannot read bible anymore.

The enemy (Phoenix) is strong, so sempai girl is trying to do the plan. She knows that he and her family pushed the game because they knew she would lose to get her married.

She's going to win from the power she got from her family and herself. She's also giving him the confidence because he understood that he's the weakest from the training, by letting him practice "boosting" the sacred gear (so got stronger from the training).

She's also feeling something from his confession.

Rating game next ep.?

I loled at Asia spasming out when reading the bible, FYI girl, you can't read that as a demon, the bible is evil and poison to demons.

I so want Issei's Mind Peeling ability, with my overactive libido, it would make cooking easier since I do peel onions and potatoes to use in my dishes. Issei using ecchi for power seems to work.

Onsen service was nice with Toujou in her entirety.

Toujou just outcarrying the guys lol

The rating game is going to be interesting, the historical overview of the game was nice.

Issei's attack is awesome and did a number on the mountain and part of the valley

Nice fanservice of the girls in the onsen, including Koneko.

Issei's power level was over 9000 when he finally let a blast go through.

Quite enjoyed this episode. Rias is developing a crush on Issei after his 'confession' to her. Asia as always was gorgeous. Great blast by Issei with the boosted gear's 'explosion' spell.

I got to admit that this episode was most inventive in its ecchi. They manage to associate food and body parts. Well lust and food do go together so it was kind of a given but what was not is how it played out. Comedically that is. Issei is just ROFL at how pathetic it’s amazing. People that bitch at him should laugh at how pathetic he really is. In fact so pathetic that STARGAZER gave unto to his rescue with sheer immense powers. Of course Issei is the one with BIG ’O’ beam that can vaporize anything in its path in this series. That’s too bad cause I don’t see him using it right for at least some time.

Got to admit in the following,

It was kind of yummy to see angles killing demons. While I admit in the following spoiler
I long to see a battle like that. I mean c’mon now Demons VS Demons gets boring after some time. We need White Angels around. This will be fun to see. Regardless Rias’s story was interesting since it had more details.

Now for the following,

OH YES! Plot moving and a dark one at that. Nice setup and atmosphere. You can almost taste the higher ups of hell in that part.

Suffice to say many Koneko fans got their fan service justice and among it other than the breasts must be close up V shots!

However let’s not forget to congratulate Issei in his development with Rias at the end, he was good emotionally expressing wise.

Finally who though Rias looked for a minute like Ichika from Ano Natsu de Matteru with her glasses? She looked like her just a little. I don’t know that is what I felt and wonder if someone did too.

Now I am waiting for Phenix VS Issei. GAMES ON! Fan service wise and character interactions along with revealings were fine in this episode no problem.

Guys, is it just me or was the timing of the seiyuu rather off at two occasions? The same happened in the last episode and I can't quite tell if it's due to Hadena subs or the episode itself...

Awesome episode by the way.

Seriously like this series! If the close-up titty shots were reduced, more people would enjoy it.
It's like "Freezing", the series wasn't bad but the over-use of ecchi scenes causes it to drop a point or two on a lot of people's lists.

Series never fails to impress me. It goes to show that having a show with lots of uncensored ecchi doesnt detract from it at all. I really enjoyed this as usual, nice to see some lovely Koneko service as well...she really is unbearably moe.

However I am never satisfied...

Nobody? It's quite obvious in the episode assuming I'm not the only one. :s

@ProBoner: The "I love you" version seems more likely from what I've heard in the episode.

Haha, I guess it's no surprise Issei excels with his power when he's thinking perverted thoughts. That's just like him!

In that case, the games shouldn't be much trouble for him since they're all girls and his special attack most definitely strips them of clothes.

I noticed that too. She ain't flaky like loads of other demon girls, I would say not soft like the MC girl in Omamori Himari.

Also Rias's breasts with SFX and the nipples design are hard to beat less you include hentai in all of that. TBH they make me as a male, not even wanting to know anything of demons on average, just begging to suck them, grab them and do loads of stuff with them. Suffice to say that a strong character with a strong attracting body for lust is indeed hard to come by in animes. Intensity wise. I am not even sure if I am the only ones like that.

LMAO, that is win. Seriously though, it's fucking hilarious how Issei gets stronger the more horny he is. ROFL. Perverts would be insanely strong if that happened to them. xD

Anyhow I enjoyed this episode a lot. That Rias and Issei moment was so nice. They sure make a good pair. :D But the fanservice again was a bit too much for me. Ah well, what am I gonna expect from an ecchi Anime. xD

Looking forward to the next episode, rating game let's go!

So, this is basically the problem with ALL shounen anime.

Why do they make the bad guys so damn powerful?

If the bad guys were on the same level or at least a bit more stronger, we wouldn't be bitching when they use Shounen Hax to beat them.

Now we find out that the Phoenix group is IMMORTAL...

LOL, OK....and since the "Good guys" ALWAYS WIN, there has to be some bullshit that will propel them to victory, and I'm guessing this bullshit will most likely be done by Issei who is the weakest and most idiotic member of the Gremory group.

YEP, this is why I can't take shounen seriously.

Thank God for Rias and all the Hot bishoujo in this anime, they are literally the only reason I watch.

This probably my favorite ecchi/harem anime of all time. It has at least a coherent story line, somewhat interesting characters and well attractive girls. Other previous ones like R-15 and Maken-ki are total crap compared to this one. Would be nice to have a 2nd season if this one ends well.

He's stereotyping every shounen he watches. Welp, can't blame a person whose username is after the epitome of Shounen Hax


You know, Issei should have think of something perverted after he boosted 12x. That might have blew the whole mountain.

No arguments there dude....Bleach IS the epitome of Shounen Hax.

However, it was also the VERY FIRST ANIME I WATCHED....and therefore it will always hold a special place for me.

LOL, the first girl you kiss is not going to be the Best or the prettiest.....but it's still special, I treat Bleach the same way.

Thankfully, I quickly learned that this type of anime was almost at the END of the "Food chain".

Truly a HORRIBLE way to tell a story by making shit up as you go along and then allowing the main character to win by the most illogical way possible.

I'm just glad this anime has so many hot bishoujo to distract me from paying attention the the ultra weak and uninteresting MC.

Sorry if I sound so cynical, but watching anime throughout all these years has made me into a huge critic.

I don't find bleach to be special either. Bleach is just as typical, if not more than this anime. Both ichigo and Issei "Increases their power" through hard work and perseverance. It's not all that interesting if you read or watch the same thing multiple times over. However, the "Increase in power" is what makes up a plot of a typical shounen anime; therefore makes it necessary.

For me, I like to see fans NOT focus on the "Power" but rather character and plot. An example would be Full metal Alchemist- most people don't watch it because of the main character's progress in power, but rather for the pure interest in everything that makes up a story.

I like to describe Highschool DXD was junk food anime - Very good to watch once, but you will get a stomach ache if you watch it over multiple times.

This series is pretty good. I mini-marathoned it(started today) to catch up. Its pretty good, though there is sometimes too much fanservice.

I'm getting freakin tired of watching Issei whine about how weak he is. Shut up bitch, we know that you're probaby gonna end up being one of the most powerful people on the show...

lol can't wait for the next episode!
