High School DxD New

The misadventures of Issei Hyoudou, high school pervert and aspiring Harem King, continue on in High School DxD New. As the members of the Occult Research Club carry out their regular activities, it becomes increasingly obvious that there is something wrong with their Knight, the usually composed and alert Yuuto Kiba. Soon, Issei learns of Kiba's dark, bloody past and its connection to the mysterious Holy Swords. Once the subject of a cruel experiment, Kiba now seeks revenge on all those who wronged him.

With the return of an old enemy, as well as the appearance of two new, Holy Sword-wielding beauties, it isn't long before Issei and his Devil comrades are plunged into a twisted plot once more.

Okay, let's get it out of the way: If your still watching at this point, you probably don't have a problem with ecchi, boobs, panty shots and ALMOST hentai. SO going on that basis, I'm not going to cater to the type of person wo's gonna whine about the obnoxious Boob/panty shots.

This show is awesome. Seriously, it's the best ecchi show ever created (and believe me, I've seen a few). And why? Because it doesn't take itself seriously. Some shows, like Highschool of the Dead, would be good if not for the fanservice, but Dxd works in the opposite way. It would suck without ...

Mixed Feelings

Highschool DxD New has been a very popular series among the fans of Ecchi/School-life this season, but does it really live up to the hype? What follows are my honest opinions on it.

Let me begin by saying that I don't wish to be flamed for what I write, and if you take what I say that seriously, than you should think of a decent way to refute my reasoning.

To begin: the story. The story was horribly executed, with any drama in it being written off for scenes where they could make the moral reasoning for the character be nothing more than: "I want ... to see Rias's tits" The story had a bit more to it than what I originally expected, but it didn't do much better than the first season, and as such shouldn't be rated above it. Now, I will admit that the addition of a few new characters was interesting, but it didn't drive the plot quite enough.
Now, considering this is ecchi, the plot is definitely more than what I'd originally expect, but it's nothing special. A solid 3/10

Now onto the characters. Considering that I look for characters with depth, while many of you look for the outer image of them, I'll split it into two categories.

Character Physicality: As always, Rias and Akeno's proportions are very exaggerated, and I cannot support those kind of appearances. However, the addition of new girls with average/realistic body-types was a plus. I enjoyed seeing the new types of girls that they produced, and the way they acted based on the tropes of the series. 6/10

Other Character Traits: The characters didn't really garner any more depth than they had in the first season, and the only real development was around Akeno. Not that quality in this regard. However, they did add a bit more depth to the characters they added, and as I mentioned Akeno, which leads the character development to not be awful, but still be sub-par. 3/10

Animation: The animation is very basic, and is mostly made up of bland backgrounds and talking heads. However, seeing that it's basic for current animation, I will not rate it too poorly. Also, considering that they did crisp up a bit of a faulty bits of animation from the first season, and it did mature a bit in regards to how polished it looked. 4/10

Sound: The voice acting cast is not bad, but in no regards are they amazing. The music/soundtrack is fairly basic as well, but it's not bad. With the songs being made up of similar music to the first season, and the OST being set to only a few scenes each episode, there wasn't a lot to base this score off of. However, seeing as it wasn't terrible, the following score is fair. 6/10

Overall (I added 1 point for enjoyment value): The story is better than a lot of other ecchi, but it pales in comparison to the first season, and other than a few better-characterized females joining the harem, the story didn't develop too much, and left far too much unanswered. By no regards is this show above-average. What they could have added based on the source material, they disregarded. They turned what could have been fights based on love and such (similar to the first season) into more intense duels, and yet they turned them into gimmicks to have Issei pray for Rias's tis. However, I couldn't really expect less from an Ecchi/Harem. 5/10

Oh Pie, Oh my and Oh No, so what's my verdict for this 2nd season of High school DxD? Not good, and here's why:

Story: Fair 6.

The genre was still the same genre, the plot was a bit new and a bit boring, the only thing that studio TNK does was to add new characters for every climax that comes along. Then again the part where the harem becomes intense was nice to say the least and Rias getting serious with stupid Issei also adds spice to this anime's story plot, but it kinda annoys me that he's too hesitant to bang either one of ...
