Although this is not a great show by any stretch of the word...I have been enjoying it a lot so maybe I will preorder the DVDs depending.
Looking at posts on the Internet wouldn't bother me so much if people didn't also mix up he and she.

Completely expected.

Funimation always licenses shows with lots of tits. They always seem to sell well so it would only be expected that they continue to license them. At least this show isn't absolutely terrible like some of the other fanservice shows that they've licensed.

Well done on licensing the shittiest anime of the season. Hey, Funi, you guys ever going to release those Steins;Gate DVDs? You know, maybe before 2013?

The story is good actually...

I think people are getting in over their heads about this show just because it shows some a lot of tits and shit. Big deal.

Don't forget "The War on Pants" as well.

They really come up with the worst fucking advertising campaigns for these shows. Maybe that works for them since both of those shows did surprisingly well.

Yeah, can't read Japanese and I'm never quite sure it's worth the effort to look for someone translating the novel in English. If it's a good then....maybe I will get my hands on it some day down the road(since while I can't read it now, I will be learning some Japanese pretty soon).

Your sentences contradict each other. If they sold well, clearly their advertising campaigns were great :P.

Anyway, it was expected, but I still lol'd a bit when I saw the only title from this season FUNi picked up so far is the full-on boobie show.

I guess I wasn't clear with my wording. I was going for more of a "Modern Warfare syndrome" or a "Twilight syndrome" where no matter how terrible it is, it'll still have record sales.

Here you go.

Not all the chapters have been translated yet but it should be enough for you to read and know a bit more about the story. Besides all the ecchi and fan-service, I really enjoy it.

Damn I fucking hate that niche, considering sekirei is a good series. Hell, most youtube comments on the sekirei promos are people telling Funi off for treating it like some softcore porn.

Yea sex sells, but most fans actually CARE about the plot of this show. Plus it doesn't help trying to recommend a series, and you get crazy looks.

And was hoping Sentai would grab DxD..dammit

lol seen this from a mile away since Funi has the "Boobies FTW" mindset. Thats the only thing that probably sells well enough for them nowadays. Plus I also knew cause Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? is similar to this show so I knew they were going to get it except KwZDk is probably way better than HS DxD.

This is why I like Sentai more we have a variety of genres both subbed and dubbed.

There are always way too many people hating on fanservice & whatnot with shows like this. Honestly if you're not a fan, just stay away from the discussions around these shows. We've all read your opinion before and we probably don't want to read for the 967th time.

Oh you don't like fanservice animes? Cool, now move along.

No. I want you to read my opinion.

Besides, the only good fanservice anime is Queen's Blade. I've tried most of them, but they're usually awful, like Seikon no Qwaser, Maken-Ki, and Manyu Hikenchou.

Even the older stuff like Mouse makes me want to gouge my eyes out.

This isn't the 1980's and 1990's man. Funi did Strike Witches which is loli.

My Main concern is will they release the DVD/BD 99% uncensored like in Japan.

Talking about Strike Witchers, they didn't bother removing the loli nipples in the American version, so I doubt they will do any changes from the Japanese BD in this case.

*sigh* I honestly don't see how an anime can be considered crap the second it has ecchi. I'm a selfproclamed pervert, yes I read hentai and watch ecchi, and thats probably why I enjoy shows like these. But still, if you don't like ecchi, then don't watch it instead of complaning. But yeah, I agree, Funi is taking there sweet time with the steins gate dvd's TT-TT (yes I watch non fan serviced anime's too)

I agree with modshroom.
If you're not a fan of fanservice anime, then go away. Nobody wanna read your sh*t opinion so go and get some attention elsewhere. Criticism is welcomed but you guys simply bad-mouthing smth. Also before you judge smth first read it's original source (the light novel in this case).

@smxmartin21
IIRC there's a 12th volume where Issei probably returns. Not sure how.

I have not bitched and moaned. -sigh- I actually think High School DxD is an okay anime. If the main focus was not giving fapping material to people like you, it could have been pretty decent.


This anime isn't fapping material. funny thing is, fap material usually makes more money than regular animes, Eroges in japan are heating the markets and making more money than idol buisness. so the more you complain, the bigger the fool you're making out of yourself.
"people like you" Well excuse me, last time i checked, i wasn't a troll who goes around complaining about anime with fanservice and telling people not to fap to it.

Whatever. I'm not in the mood of flaming back and forth. Hell I'm never in the mood for that.

Haven't complained though about anything. The only thing I'm complaining about is your thinking that everyone who doesn't care about ecchi and/or fanservice anime are obviously gay.
But if your just trolling with that opinion, I'm fine with leaving this discussion as it is. If you need to bitch and flame back at me, write on my profile or PM me.


You're never in the mood for that, yet you still replied to my post for teh sake of trolling.
once again, that was obviously a joke, you took it seriously. who's a troll now?
anyways, i'm not the type of guy who likes to argue over minor things online, that's immature, so let's end this conversation right here.


Agreed. And just so you know, I never troll.

EDIT: Decided to delete all my post from this thread. The news forum is not a place for unnecessary discussions and flaming.

People bitch too much about fanservice. It's like they've never seen a boob before. What's worse, they can't look past the fanservice and see that(while it CERTAINLY isn't the best and has some moments that are kind of stupid, see episode 10...) it actually has a pretty good story.
