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

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!

Good episode.

I do like Rias, and Issei is super funny.. I just don't like them together. >_<''

Eh. It's obvious that's going to happen though, so I'll just prepare for it I suppose.

I can't wait for the rating game!

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.

I guess ur wrong about almost everything u ve wrote

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.


Issei used boost 12 times then probably imagine the mountain as a giant boob and tried to grab a hold of it.

Issei's constant underestimating and debasing of his abilities and his lack of significant contribution is a little vexing.

I like the development though. Rias is actually falling for Issei. I cannot wait for episode 10.

I loved this episode. Hell yeah Rias and Issei's relationship is developing! Nice one harem king saying all the right things at just the perfect time. Ria's love for Issei is clearly growing. :d

Lol Asia is so cute, she just keeps on trying to read that bible. Koneko soo adorablee. Haha if you peek I'll hate you. Tbh that would make me keep away fo sho.

Issei is slowly but surely growing stronger, nicee. So he's at his best when he lets his imagination run wild.

I really like how sweet Rias is to Issei. The part where he was talking about Rias being known as the Princess of Ruins and that she's a genius and things, and then he talks about how compared with everyone else he's just a "good for nothing", Rias just gently caresses his head into her chest and then reassures Issei that all he needs is some self-confidence, and then he slowly starts to cry a little. I loved that part.
SHIT I didn't know how much fucking improvement Issei has made! At the ending when he used a concetrated magic attack, it took out a whole mountain. This Rating Game with Raiser is going to be fucking cool. yyeyyeyeyeyeyeyeyyeyeyeyeyeyyeyyeyyeyyeyyeyey

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

^This.

Was Grayfield talking to Sazex?

There are 72 Keys. Out of those, there's Gremory House, Sitri House, and Phenex House.

Lol at Asia reading the Bible.

Issei "confessed" to Rias, Rias is starting to like Issei; their relationship is developing!

It's rather rare to find a harem anime where the main guy not only does an unambiguous confession, but is comfortable with his own pervertdness and wears it as a badge of honour instead of denying it.

Asia trying to read the Bible was funny as hell.

That was a strong cero. :D

So there are only 3 noble families left? I really wanted to be more. That would've made it more interesting.

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'm so in love with this anime, it's not even fun.

Every character is perfect, I haven't found a single character i dislike beside phoenix gu but you're supposed to hate him either way.

Holy hell, Rias is so damn nice too. The thing i'd do to have her as my senpai.

Oh oh, Issei can be romantic too, without even knowing it. Look how you makes Rias all cutey :3

Hehee, Issei acquired a power only useful to a pervert, and critical to a shy maiden. Get'em naked, boy!
Oh, he also acquired that useless power of destroying montains and shit, not that it matter... when you can blow up girl clothes!

Akeno is a great onee-chan. I would be really worried if she wasn't on my side though. She have some really creepy stares, the stares of a sadist yandere. In short, don't mess with her mistress pet.

Judging from all the episodes so far, there's not one thing in an episode of High School DxD that you can specifically focus on so I'll just say that Issei's Sacred Gear alone made this a 5/5. A lot of other good stuff too

Interesting episode. Was awesome to hear the backstory to the game they are preparing for as well as see how far Issei has come. I just wish that this anime was better at understanding about when to use ecchi and when not to. During the night scene when Rias was being serious, the ecchi scene was offputting and took away from the scene. I am enjoying this anime a lot more than I thought I would though.

I'm always up for some training sessions and info dumps. Then we got a nice Issei x Rias moment and Issei's new technique. So considering all that, really good episode.
