Rias going all out now. Didn't know she had a hidden power of any sort. Also I hope there's more to Akeno's power up. Judging by the preview she will definitely get a huge power up soon. Also hoping to see more of her past and how she met up with Rias.
What? This is totally different...
so they put volume 7 before volume 6?
it looks like it will be only 2 episodes for vol 7?! wtf?
I don't remember this snake? was it in LN?
And I hope they don't want to hook up Kiba and Tsubaki ?
Was Issei bitten so badly by Fenrir in LN? I don't remember it looks more like scene from volume 11.

>Show him fine in the preview
Please.
I mean it's obvious he'd survive being the MC and all, but goddammit man.
U sure it's obvious? ];-> but yeah the preview sucks

DatRandomDude said: what the fuck was that cliffhanger
it just randomly cut to the ED O_O
Heh I said in first episode that OP/ED doesn't fit DxD series.
Todd_ said: Rossweisse plez join the harem. You're so perfect.
Lol ;D Are you anime only fan?
MgMaster said: As much as I like DxD, it doesn't really shine when it takes itself too seriously. I'm not just talking about our weekly dose of oppai here but there needs to be at least some comedy, some witty(and usually pervy) remarks from Issei.
Though of course, I understand the need of such eps every once in a while.
That is one of reasons why DxD is best ecchi harem ever made. It's the best anime that mix many genres, although they could have torn some girls dress when hit by Loki.

eXtacy67 said: This show is very bad when it tries to be serious, it should stick to what its strong at.
Yeah I can't take it seriously at all the drama is just too cringeworthy (I still remember the S1 finale lol) and doesn't fit
They should just show boobs and be done with it because thats the only reason any of us are here
You are both stupid -.- go watch hentai
FanEu said: So you are here for the great story and complex characters?
Lol don't try too hard man its silly I doubt any of us would be watching this without the boobies and hot girls
Not that there is anything wrong with it
its an ecchi show after all (probably the best)
They skipped character development, that is sad, but they did not delete it completely from anime.
Anyway go read LN then you will understand. I think at least 40% of fans have read the novel so they are not here for boobs only, also cleverer anime only fans are also here not only for oppai. I would never start reading LN if anime would be only oppai. As I said it's the best mix of many genres. If you do not see this then read my sentence after your first quote.

DarklordVor said: I don't understand why they don't bring Asia with them. I mean come on, you're going to battle a God that is a threat to the underworld and you don't bring your healer? What kind of people go to a battle without healer? Even most games need at least one healer in every battle.
Because Ajuka can only transport 10 people.
I think it is because Asia will be
kidnapped
NeoAnkara said: They will flee next episode. Loki will be final villain for this season.
Impossible. In preview they shown Vali team. Last boss will be from vol 6.
abyss333 said: BTW guys the preview is fake, i have read the novels, and issei
stays 'dead' for a while , probably will come back at the end of the season
I thought the same, but I checked LN now to be sure. This happens in
volume 11-12
. And u should put spoiler tag before posting such things as I did to your quote...

LN spoiler-
My only issue with them setting up Issei to appear dead in this episode is that it could potentially take away from the incident when his body is destroyed. I would've preferred to see the other's reaction to Issei's death with more emotion and attention, this just felt thrown in there by comparison.
DeathStrikeV said: I'm worried about the continuity of the story going forwards as I feel that the reshuffle has opened up a whole lot of potential plotholes which the original LN never had.
In addition, the amount of rushed "character development" is really getting to me. In one episode we've had multiple reveals of skills/abilities/powerups which were done much more gracefully in the LNs. I'm worried that they've literally taken out a lot of the fun surprises from future episodes.
I hope not, this would ruin the series... Maybe Fenrir in anime can not kill even gods and Issei will survive as shows in preview without Asia or Phoenix Tears. Koneko could give him some life energy for example if they already rushed her change.
Now I am scared to press play on episode 5 :(
But HEY! maybe it is better for LN fans? This is like new universe if this continue. We already know what happened in LN so seing it different in anime could be better if

well, since the author himself is the one who rearrange the events, we should trust him. still love this episode xD

I hate it when anime/manga that I enjoyed ends, especially when there could be much longer plot and when I love main heroine :P
I wish I had magic glasses that let me see real world in anime colors ;)
Loki decides to be a summoner and brings Fenrir, Hati, Skoll, and Midgard Serpent to the party.
Because of that, Rossweisse, Irina, Koneko, Akeno, and Saji show their stuff.
Wait, is Kiba and Tsubaki a thing?
Awesome, Issei gets to wield Mjolnir, but Fenrir was pretty hungry.
And everyone else was pretty sad and angry.
But it doesn't matter because preview says Issei is alive.
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.
Err was there a Midgard Serpent in this battle in the LN? All I remember is Fenrir and his two sons.. And the last part too.. Hmm..
I guess for those who read the LN, including me, the anime seems off with the events and all those quick character developments that's happening.. I wished they would've extend this season more and not cramp the whole thing in 12 EP's.. It's kinda disappointing 'cos this series really has a great plot (not that "plot" lol) and the character developments are good..
This is so unbelievably fucking cheesy. Like I can't even describe how cheesy this is. The dialogue, everything. Everyone cries for isssei, even kiba lmao.

I like the idea put forward in an earlier post that they are changing the chronology and moving around events in order to get an appropriate end point for a later season. It implies that they actually have a long-term plan and aren't going to leave us hanging. Speaking as someone who is reading the LN series, and who is already past the events in Volumes 5-7, I'm not particularly upset at what they've shown us thus far, but I do hope some of the things they've skipped over are reintroduced at a later date.
And it is not just the boobs that brings us here (or at least some of us). Each of the harem members (and even the girls who aren't in Issei's harem) have enough uniqueness in their character that you want to get to know them a little better. The best harem mc isn't just a horndog, he's someone who actually cares about each of the girls, wants to make them all happy, and ultimately will go to the wall for them if he has to. I like the girls of this show (perhaps even a little more than the girls of To Love Ru) and I hope we get to see a little more character development as the season rolls along.
Please don't feed the trolls!
In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student
carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac
L-Ryoshi said: Badum-tssss...... And there goes the plot.
Two volumes of materials skipped (or hopefully just switched around).
Yes it is just switched around. The author has already confirmed on his blog multiple times that he is the one who rearranged events, not the studio.
Why would he do something that completely screws up power-levels, continuity and character development?
Because he doesn't want a future season 5 to end on Volume 11. It doesn't really screw up much. The second half should of this season should go in order. Second Half of Volume 5 -> Volume 6 -> final part of Volume 7.
I see~ That's informative.

Yeah ahahaha, but sometimes we need something cheesy.
These fights were awesome. To see the results of everyones training. And these beasts remind me on a lot of games I played (Fenrir = Final Fantasy for example).
Issei wtf. He's the Red Dragon and got beaten so easily.....
Oh man Rias is really pissed of. Curious what will happen :o
Issei will be fine. It was great seeing how everyone else reacted. Great scene.
If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have).
About time rias uses some serious power though it was towards the end. It was funny seeing issei get bit up. what a loser lol
Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.
FINALLY the punny little dragon Issei died!!!
Now it's time for the true hero to be BorN!! GO Motohama-4eyes-sama!!!! With his mighty women's body analytic powers he will become the new king piece of this series!!
For the ones that like to bother others (like me) with "you should read the manga/LN", please stop. I don't read mangas, I will NOT read mangas, I will not listen to what manga readers complain in adaptation to the anime counterpart, I only watch anime except in very few and specific situations.
