Since I'm new to anime so i don't have much knowledge about art style and all, but still looking forward to it but like the old style more. |

Yaboku said: I'm deeply disappointed in the art-style. it looks like some bland anime art style that A-1 pictures would animate. Rias looks the worst to be honest. And changing the directors also wasn't the bets idea. If this was a spin-off or remake or even 1 OVA sequel, then I would've been okay with it, but a fourth season? No way. Oh for God's sake. You are an actual fan if you follow both. They are following the art of the Novels more now. Stop bitching. |

Since you are new, I will cut you some slack. What the new studio is doing is following the art style of the novels completely. Which is a good thing, if you are a fan of the anime/novels. |

Takamura-sama said: You are not the only, those hardcore fans (me included) got the worst nightmare when that was announced.They changed the fucking art, the studio and the staff working on it? Ugh I can't even... how are you guys not disappointed? I mean this masterpiece of an ecchi show receiving this kind of treatment? Akeno doesn't seem like an older hot onee-San anymore she fucking looks 19. Sorry but im kinda triggered rn How do you guys feel about this change? It was a glorious anime series with amazing art style and character designs when it's on the hands of TNK Studio. But now it's passed on Passione it looked (from PV) like your generic, mediocre/average, bland harem, rom-com, action TV series. |

I don't really care. as long as they stick to the story. also, if I can be a "big fan" just because I watch and love the anime, count me in. I'm not really the type to read LN or play VN anyway. it's simple, I can always read the discussion thread of each episodes, so I would know if they stick to the story or not. |

Biggest thing with the art style to me is that all the girls look like blobs now and faces are slightly off? like the TNK style was better because it was rigid and the characters didn't look like they could melt when exposed to heat. |

lol I don't get why people cannot deal with this new art style. I am a big fan of Highschool DxD. Watched the 3 seasons and read the LN. I don't even have a problem with the changes. I felt so satisfied after watching the teaser. XD |

I think it's great that Issei gets a bunch of new girls. I wonder if the old set will make an appearance, though? |

I am disappointed that they changed the art style and studio. Suddenly dropping this bomb on us after waiting 3 years. However because this is one of my favorite shows, I'll forgive it as long as it has the same quality as the previous seasons. |

I mean if you look at what TNK made, High School DxD was the only good thing they did and I've looked trust me. Handing it over to a new studio could give them a chance to show what they are capable of, you could be surprised by the results. Also be grateful it's just the art that's changed, I mean look at how the new Berserk series turned out "shivers". Honestly as long as it turns out as good as the last 3 series, then I'm fine with the new changes. |

This is probably a test to see how well they can salvage the series after the piss poor sales of Born. Season one sold 10,000+ copies in Japan, New had 9,500, while born had 6,300. If this season does well then we will probably see more come out. So watch it legally and support the series and maybe we can squeeze a few more seasons out of them.

Ishibumi confirmed on Twitter it's just volume 9 and 10, and that he's writing the script. Bugger, that's dissapointing, i so wanted vol 11 and 12 done... i want to see it animated. But i guess more DxD is a good thing They could go 2 cour, i'm sure it will be popular enough. |

I'm not so sure if they need to confirm it. There's no source for it so obviously take it with a grain of salt, but I've seen a lot of Japanese on 2ch saying Passione is contracted for two seasons of this. That means if they make 2 seasons they will be making it. Born had 6300 combined blu raay and DVD sales that is borderline for continuing a series. |

I agree that the studios didnt do a great job on the other animes (director also) but its still too early to say this season of dxd will get shit. Well we can predict that it will be shit bcuz of the facts u laid there lol |

Most artists start out drawing porn anyways > Yanagisawa, storyboarded a similar travesty known as Fate/Stay Night by DEEN I loved school days Pls come |

Well, the new art style in my opinion looks very good. Much better than 3rd season, and even better than 1st and 2nd. It just fits better. But well, lets wait and lets find out if it really does ;) |

since DxD was trash to begin with what did you expect also the art looks better now than it ever did, even if the girls bodies are still disproportionate as shit, the faces look to be a lot better constructed than before |

The main problem I had with Fmab was the very bad start which just left an awful taste in my mouth for the whole series. I had very high expectations of this show. I watched it up to ep 8 and thought it was the worst show I have ever watched. Then I proceeded with watching 1 ep and skip the other one until around ep 18 where things got better. Overall: 1-18 = 1/10 19- around 36 = 6.9 37- end = 7.6 The start was too trash to give it a higher score |

I was on the fence about the new artstyle, but seeing the PVs actually reassured me. The animation looks great tbh. What bothers me are the new studio and staff members. Here's hoping that it would stick to the LN most of the time. |

This may sound weird but I just don't think that I am able to fap to a akeno anymore. She was best girl for me. She was like a hot older girl and I'm so into that.. At least koneko looks cuter. Ugh I hope my d*** accepts this. |

As a faithful hardcore highschool dxd fan at least it’s fucking better than no season 4 at all, come on TNK animation and character design is like a solid 10/10 this new art style is a solid 8.5/10 |

Something that differentiated DxD from other harem was its design, it is true that now it is more attached to the novels but it does not have that special touch. The de rias is the worst, it is the typical design of any hentai, it even looks like Otome Dori. |

Funny really fans moaning that they ruined season 3 becouse it didnt follow the LN now they are moaning that season 4 has a diffrent art style even though the creator has gone back to 2 vol season and will follow the LN agian. The guy can't win seriously every one moaning at his decision is unfair he must have worked really hard to give us a season 4 after the backlash season 3 and he changed studio in order to give us one. I don't care about the art style I'm just looking forward to watching it |

Right now, people should be thankful it actually received a Season 4 given on what the previous Studio and staff did to Season 3. Artwork change is surprising and a little bit disappointing at the same time but that's better than not getting another season. |

Then your not a true fan if you can't except it and its MORE CLOSER to the novels. Like there are other anime with changed animation, like Fairy Tail, Sailor Moon and Love Hina and they turned out good. Also look at Rias and do a comparison with the novels. |

The new art-style looks more generic but also looks more T H I C C and soft , the older one was more'jiggly' and sharp. All we can do is wait I guess. It's better than nothing lol. |

I actually prefer the new style tbh, and also ,if what other users have been saying about the japanese DxD fans ridiculing the old style is true, then makes me feel much better. Mainly because if the anime doesn't do good in Japan first, then hopes for another seasons goes down the drain. I am also worried about the new studio Passione in charge of the new season, since they did Rail Wars, which wasn't too bad imo, and Rokka no Yuusha which was decent. But, I really hope they get this right, because volumes 9 and 10 from the Light novel are great, and the story keeps and getting better for that point on, so I would really like to see the rest of the story animated. |

I am not "a big fan", but I felt entertained by seasons 1 + 2, and bored, partly annoyed by season 3 (annoying: Koneko being all lovey-dovey AND no more melee fighting, just throwing boring magic flashes) So, now I wonder SPEERS said: Having read DxD's LNs for fucking years now I can tell you it's mainly a wacky action comedy with some fanservice sprinkled in with a pre-established harem end. And I do mean to emphasize the wacky and comedy parts. Oh, that sounds nice. I liked the 1st season for comedy + ecchi mix ('twas the first time I saw such thing ever, was on TV, bluray version) 2nd season seemed to lower amount of comedy, for more character-centric drama - not really bad. (+ Azazeel very nice addition) 3rd season I dropped it on episode 10 or so, because boring - neither comedy, nor character-centric drama, ... nada. not interested. So would you say that season 4 will be good (again) for someone like me? |
