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.

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?
You are not the only, those hardcore fans (me included) got the worst nightmare when that was announced.
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.

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.
If you can't be bothered to read the LN's hhow can you tell if they stick to the story or not?

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.

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.

I would rather they do it right than try and squeezze 4 volumes in 12 episodes. 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.


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 rewatched season 1 up until ep 7 today

I just hope to see more of akeno her oppai. I, the harem king, want more oppai in my life

Lol i agree with the facts u got there. Though let us see if this studio can get us a good adaptation of the 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

Let's look at good old TNK, Yanagisawa and Gotou:

> Who made School Days, literally everything they made before DxD is garbage

Hmm a very strong 5 though. 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.

I am currently rewatching high school dxd and this really is one of my favorite anime ecchi series with plot of all 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.

They like it and were complaining before about the old style. DxD was ridiculed for having a very old looking art style that belonged in the early 2000's

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.

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.

Who cares about the generic, bland, mediocre art style?
Those who complained not having the same art style like the LN are just LN weebs and nerds.
The old art style was WAY BETTER, you can't cover the truth, even if you say it's outdated.

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?
