| Episode did feel a little rushed, but I'm not complaining. The duel between dragons did not disappoint. Issei's got the will and the determination, so Vali's own notice. Now that the team has moved in with Issei, I'm fully expecting season 3 to open with some in-house harem antics. Khaos Brigade was introduced and I feel obligated to start reading the LNs to get ahead. Episode: 9/10 Season: 9/10 |
 |
| WOW! for a super ecchi show that was one of the sickest fights i have ever seen! Awesome!!!!! This episode is definitely my favorite dxd episode out of all of them. So funny yet so badass Wow Loved it! |
| Looks like a 3rd season is needed. There was no sex scene |
 |
| This was great! Hoping for another season in the future! |
Live, Laugh, Love.  |

Just curious though, the 2 boss guys seem kind of useless (the demon one and the angel one, i'm really bad with names) while the fallen angel boss did do some cool fighting. Are they useless/weaker than issei + the power of boobs? why don´t they do shit? I kinda expected the Lucifer guy to blow everyone to pieces. Spoil if needed, it's bugging me. 9/10. Hope for S3! This'll be a major spoil so I'll tag it kay. |

| Great ending of the season, an 8/10 for my score. The battle was fun to watch for Vali vs Issei, and then Bikou appears order Vali to withdraw. Well the ending, nice enough that everyone is staying at Issei house for the time being XD. I would say it is much more better than the previous season having more character development, action, and the story was good. The first half of the season was pretty interesting about the Holy Sword Project, while the second half was eh, not that much interesting. Here's hoping for a season 3 in production. |

Thanks for taking the time to clear that for me :) well, even if we get season 3 with 12 episode, i doubt we would see how awesome sirzech is...and ajuka too.. but we probably see issei in juggernaut drive. |
| Well, that was a pretty faithful adaptation in the whole. Maybe just some minor details different but same stuff. If anything, I'd wish the little moment were Xenovia was touched by Issei's request was shown. It was a bit of character development. I guess for time constrictions and stuff they skipped it. I also thought they all moved in after the Underworld Arc, not before. Well, the house remodeling should be after it, so it's still cannon I guess. A next season for anything is always welcomed, so I guess I'd like it since that was one of the better Arcs I'd think. |
| Dem eyecatchers. Gasper wants to be a man. And he became one. I've said this so many times, but Azazel is the exact freakin' definition of an epic badass. First of all, Azazel vs Katerea. Azazel used his artificial Sacred Gear, Down Fall Dragon Spear and went into Balance Breaker mode, Down Fall Dragon Another Armor. His Sacred Gear apparently holds the soul of Fafnir, one of the Dragon Kings. But he's badass because he sacrificed his left arm, which was temporary replaced by an artificial arm he made. Second of all, he knew Vali was the traitor. He knew about Khaos Brigade. He knew it was being led by Ophis, the Ouroboros Dragon. Third, he knows how to convince Issei. Vali is too awesome. Being the descendant of Lucifer, he's probably the strongest White Dragon Emperor ever. Poor Issei. "They'll shrink in half?" Lol. Battle was awesome, Issei kicked some ass out there. He even absorbed Vali's dividing power. But Vali wasn't serious yet. He hasn't use his Juggernaut Overdrive. Bikou appears and he's the descendant Sun Wukong. Hooray, Asia and Xenovia get to pray. Peace has been declared. Azazel became their adviser. Every girl member now lives at Issei's house. I feel sorry for Gasper and Yuuto. But this ended well. |
I’m always searching for something, for someone. This feeling has possessed me I think, from that day… That day when the stars came falling. |
| What a great motivation. That was an epic fight. After Bikou appeared, I can't wait to see the Pendragons, Ophis and the rest. Can't wait for another season. If Vali's power is halving the enemy's power, then taking it for himself, and if he shrinks their breasts, then does that mean h-his chest will grow? Silvertongue00 said: Issei is losing the fight with Vali by a large margin. When Azazel mentions that Vali can halve peoples breasts. Three seconds later Vali is spitting up blood and struggling to stay in the air. Holy shit. badass pervert to the end. What are you saying? He wasn't even serious. And that was a Dragon slayer. Of course he'll weaken. |

| Great episode, fights were epic. However I don't like Gasper crying whenever he appears, but there should be less of that since he is determined to be a "man". Azazel is just epic, he'll be of much help since he knows much more than anyone in the Occult Research Club. Waiting for season 3 and OVA. Might start to read the light novels up to volume 4 since I want to be surprised when something unexpected happens in the anime. |
| that was a great episode... welsh dragon vs vanishing dragon in scale armor... that Azazel's Balance Break is so bad-ass...he defeats karateal (am i right?) in just 2 hits...that is some bad-ass... after telling Azazel that Vali can shrink the breast of Rias, Issei becomes a super saiyan no, stronger than super saiyan...LOL LOL at Azazel's prosthetic arm....Roketto Punchii!!! now, all the girls of Occult Research Club is staying in the house of Issei...that would be fun...damn lucky Issei... i hope it would have a season 3...i want more... rate:9/10 |
silkie said: Many dragon will be introduced later.just finished watching it and what a great episode love the fight between dragons seems as we get farther in theres more dragon gears dose any know how many dragons there are? cant wait for season 3 pray that we might get lucky and it comes on for the spring season :) |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Great episode and that conclude the 4th volumes of the LN....When will a 3rd season out may be in another 2-3 years |
| I take everything about Vali being cool back, he is just annoying, and a jerk. Issei being cool for once, I will applaud him. I want him to be like this, and not just an oppai annoying guy he usually is. Okay, he is not all that cool afterall, but a lot better than Vali. I still don't like him though, he is all about boobs... Great ending, totally up for a new season. I really liked this episode, and my Koneko-chan was as fabulous as ever! Too bad, she didn't get enough screentime.. :/ 7/10 |

| THIS ENDING WAS SO OPEN I DEMAND A NEW SEASON RIGHT NOW |
 |
| I liked first episodes of series but later plot turned terrible, dragons looked like from accel world >.<. 7/10 for 1st season and 6/10 for 2nd season. |

Krunchy said: I liked first episodes of series but later plot turned terrible, dragons looked like from accel world >.<. 7/10 for 1st season and 6/10 for 2nd season. Wow. Rofl. You must be a gal i presume lol, by the looks of your ratings. you must be a girl lmao. TNK did it right. There were actually a few flaws compared to the last season. |
| good show 8/10 from me i LOL when issei say that if koneko-chan boobs shinks any further, they will disappear |
| Liked New better than original, plot was better imo. It'll get a 7, some of the boob humour was amusing, but if you removed all the echii from this you might actually have a plot it turned out, christ if you did that and they replaced it well I might even give the series a 9. |
| One day we will come upon each other, and for that day my claws, teeth, ears, hands and hair are at the ready. |
| Looking forward for season 3. Azazel best character this season. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Actually even I was thinking of rating it a 6. At the time I was watching this episode, I came to realize the overall story is becoming a hindrance to the idea. But its still a solid 7. |
| YO DAT RED DRAGOOOOON |

| So all the Occult Research club girls have moved into Issei's residence. It's kinda funny, Issei is so focused on his dream of building a harem, yet he is completely oblivious to the fact that he has already got a good start on building one and completely unaware he is doing it. |
| A decent season finale! There was some definitely very, very good elements in this episode that really stood out to me; I absolutely LOVE the dragon armor sets for Azazel and Vali. Issei's is good too but those just stand above him IMO. Azazel demonstrating just how strong he really is and still wasn't completely serious in his fight. The moment Issei trying to absorb Albion's power into his own sacred gear was good as well. Love seeing the Bikou entrance as well. Overall, the series has shown a very good commitment to following the Light Novel's plot down to as much detail as it can cover. Besides the positives there were some negatives for me. I felt this last epic fight was a little rushed. I know they only have so many episodes to get the series in so I do understand one thing or another was going to have to be cut in the story line to allow them to get in within the set number of episodes but I wish they would have given this fight some more time and detail. There were also some minor plot happening issues that I see and have a small problem with but they are mostly for asthetic purposes and the overall attitudes of the characters in some moments (correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Azazel was a bit more pissed/upset with the defection of Vali). Leaving the negatives aside, I still think this was a SOLID season and definitely leads well into the next arc of the new alliance as they take on the Khaos Brigade as well as beginning to get on terms with the other gods from other religions and mythologies. I'd say most likely we are guaranteed another season based on the popularity of the light novels however if season 2 of the anime is as popular as season 1, there will be no question. Now...... time to re-watch both season 1 and 2 from the beginning :D. |

XSalvation97 said: Honestly, I'm glad this season is over. If there is a season 3, I will not be watching. For me this was the worst thing airing that I was watching. 3/10 from me, cause nothing happened in 12 episodes. Please tell me where "nothing" happened? Plenty of background on the characters, plot development, characterization, alliances, defections, battles, and the list goes on. Care to explain further? Because your simple opinion is rather lacking any substantial explanation or evidence to support it. Thats like me saying, "THIS ANIME SUCKS. 3/10". Actually I'll correct myself and give you the benefit and say at least you said something else like "nothing happened" when there was plenty that DID happen. |
| Work in progress... |
| Considering this has been in the top 25 every week, and has content still left to cover from the LN (which should be wraped up soon I think) There will for sure be a S-3 maybe S-4. The worst part of this show was the fact its over now. |
| damn i gimme a picture with koneko's boobs halfed |
| LOL 6/10 Slightly above Average, slightly disappointed. Azazel confirmed as best character of the season. |
This topic has not been locked and is still available for discussion. |
| "And this one is for the boobs that would totally disappear if they shrunk any further, Koneko-chan's loli oppai!" one of the best lines I've heard in some time lol |
  |
| Good final episode though the fight could have been better. I thought it was a bit rushed. But anyways, Azazel was a badass in this episode ... just took out his arm without any hesitation. And I can't believe Issei got all worked up because of oppai xD Well, looks like he's rewarded with all the girls living in his home now. Hope there will be a season 3. I need to start reading the LN. |

| Was the dialogue especially horrible this episode or am I just getting tired of it because I cringed and facepalmed a few times this episode. Overall the show was entertaining and hopefully Issei gets stronger and doesn't only rely on his sacred gear because if I'm not mistaken he's pretty useless without it. Akeno and Xenovia will always be my favorite girls in this series and that maid. I feel generous so I'll give this a 7/10 because I can't give it a 6.5 |

| BUSTO BUSTO BUSTO BUSTO BUSTO!!! I fliped xDDD |
| Art should be left alone by those unenlightened, raw and uncensored as it is, because enough refinement was already done by it's creator, in it's creation. |
| FIGHT FOR THE BEWBS ISSEI! THE BEWBS! Awesome! Just marathoned the whole season tonight, it's really been so much fun. But now I'm craving a season 3, I really want to see Issei living with all his girls and I'm a bit curious about how they might renovate the house. Also I'd like to see his relationship develop with Rias more, only 2 kisses so far. We need at least some implied sex but they should show it! Azazel is badass, seems like he'll provide some good entertainment in the future with his inventive abilities. Keep hearing about how the story just gets better and better, really hope I get to see this. I will keep waiting for new seasons as long as they can go on. Won't read the LN unless the anime cancels or ends. But even if some of the story is left out, the anime has the advantage of actually being able to see and hear both the girls and the fights. And to me that means it wins hands down. JoksPacifist said: Awesome ending. Ok Japan. Do your job and buy those DB/DVDs If you guys really really want to see more you could buy them right from Japan as well. This is what I'm gonna do, cause I really do wanna see more. Would be a first to buy something untranslated like that to help support the show. |

Dr_Smurph said: If the sub I watched is correct then Issei's life has been cut by a lot apparently for a demon. I get people thought it was an awesome fight but all I can think is how reckless it was. Now the harem king can't live with his harem. Eventually a lot earlier than all his comrades he will die. |
| Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Dr_Smurph since he is a demon who supposedly live almost forever, even if he gets his life cut in half or worst that still implies that he could live for hundreds or even thousands of years. The thing is with everyone fighting so much it's more likely for demons and everyone else to get killed in battle rather than live to be ancient anyways. Of course another possibility is that most of his body will be turned into a dragon which would negate that sort of damage. Though maybe you're right and it is being implied that he won't live a long life, just saying we're not sure on that. Either way I don't really care, Highschool DxD is a story that should end happily and we can decide for ourselves I guess. At least I hope, a goofy ecchi harem should have plenty of battles and drama but not a lot of tragedy beyond the loss of minor characters and enemies. |

It gets restored eventually. It would be a major spoil to say exactly how so I'll leave it at that. And about Issei being reckless. He stil doesn't realize how important his existence is to Rias and the rest. That's why he's reckless in his earlier fights. He improves bit by bit later on and is shown to actually have a competent enough brain for battle strategies and planning. |
