I was drawn into watching this anime because of three reasons.
1. Yoko Hikasa, Aki Toyosaki, and Kana Hanazawa were cast in it
2. Ririchiyo Shirakiin looked cute
3. The picture I saw hinted at romance

I liked how the animation style switched between normal and chibi to make the funny moments even funnier. The story was mostly fun and light-hearted and was not about fighting like I was expecting. They only had to fight three or four times and they were not that serious. The story did not have that many screwed up events in it. The worst one concerned Miketsukami but ... it wasn't as bad as other good shows I've seen. (Gosick had worse for example)

This anime pushed all of my buttons. It was cute. There was romance. There was just the right amount of sex appeal, which was centered around Ririchiyo Shirakiin's cleavage and was sprinkled with Nobara being a creeper and Chino's chest.

The character designs were excellent. I loved how unique and sometimes stupid, in terms of fighting ability and functionality, their transformations were.
My favorite characters were Ririchiyo, Karuta, and Chino. I see myself in Ririchiyo Shirakiin but instead of doing that annoying, uptight "humph" before every conversation, I don't say anything. We both have trouble saying what we mean and are honest when we write.
I like Karuta Roromiya because of her voice and her love of food. Her throwback form is unexpected and awesome.
I hated and liked Kagerou at the same time. I hated him for the type of person he was but liked and laughed so hard at him because of how he flaunted it. I've wondered what it would be like to be classified by him. I have an idea of what he would say...
Chino was so cute. She acted cute, her other form was so cute, and I could hear and see Yui.
The other workers at Maison de Ayakashi are diverse and funny.

I usually don't like songs sung by guys but the opening song, Nirvana by MUCC, is good. Most of the ending songs are awesome, especially sweets parade. SM Hantei Forum made me laugh so hard.

The ending made me so happy because I enjoy a good romance and it left the story wide open for development. Out of the dozen shows I followed this season, Inu x Boku SS is my favorite. Season 2 Please.

While I was searching for shows to watch last year, High School DxD came up. I was excited to watch it since the female lead was Yoko Hikasa, who is one of my favorites.

First of all, the nudity was annoying. I could handle it because I've watched worse but it was still annoying...on a Strike Witches level if you know what I mean.

I liked how Kiba was there to balance out the ratio of girls vs boys in the club and how Koneko was there to counter the large busts of Rias, Akeno, and Asia. Personally I ... think Akeno looked too plain and typical but Rias' bright red hair was pleasing to look at. Usually demons are designed with horns, tails, and/or wings, but the demon wings in High School DxD are unique since they come from the lower back instead of from the shoulders and the way they curve is beautiful.

Trip ~Innocent of D~ by Larval Stage Planning and STUDYxSTUDY by StylipS were good songs but I liked STUDYxSTUDY better. I think the ending has something to do with it.

My favorite part of the show was the ending. The pole dancing was an excellent touch and the fact that they were barely clothed was a rest on the eyes.

In my mind I was saying "This show is so bad..." The same applied to one of my favorite shows: Koe de Oshigoto! The nudity in that anime was so bad but it was so interesting that the nudity did not matter as much.
High School DxD also reminded me of Freezing but while Freezing disturbed me with nudity, gruesome battle scenes, and f***ed up plot events, High School DxD was only slightly annoying in comparison. There was also love at the end which I enjoy but they didn't go too far which is fine since Issei isn't worthy of Rias at the moment.

Overall it was an good show to watch if you can handle it.

To start off, I am male who is supposed to love stuff like Death Note and Bleach.
But I DON"T because I LOVE cute anime.

Back when the anime subtitling was stalled at episode 4, I was thinking about writing this review. Thank God I didn't because the anime has gotten better since then.

There is a good mix of themes: fashion, ice skating, dance, music, and a bit of love.
It's a happy lucky girl story.

The only bad thing I have to say about the art is the 3D/CG effects aren't that good.

Around episode 4, I was about to trash the sound score. I ... love "You May Dream" by LISP but it was getting annoying how it was being used for every performance. But since episode 4, there were 3 new songs and Callings finally gets to perform live. I thought they were going to be a stupid ice skating boy band but the song was actually good. Both theme songs are happy and cute, which I personally love.

It sucks how Mion hasn't met Aira and Rhythm yet and she seems like she's a b**** but I'm sure she'll turn around. It also sucks how Rhythm has that name in the first place. It's kind off cliche. Rhythm has more jumps but she IS the better dancer and love affects her more. Despite all that, they, especially Aira, are cute and funny.

I don't get it but I love this anime. I wouldn't do the anime justice if I just summed it up and said the anime was cute. It's more than that...
