What makes DxD better than other harem anime?

For me is that fact that:

The story is not purely a harem show and has other aspect like rivalry, wide variety of characters and alot of action with purpose.

I especially like the fact that the main character Issei is not invincible and instead develops from zero to become super strong.

Unlike Date alive, Frezzing, In another world with my smartphone, Death March and other harem shows.

The character cast.
"You are the result of 4 billion years of evolution. Act like it."
"Why don't you eat make up? Then you can be beautiful on the inside too."
"'Sick'? Call me 'twisted'. 'Sick' makes it sound like there's a cure."
"What's messed up isn't my thinking, what's messed up is this god damn world."
"The world isn't perfect, but its out there doing the best it can for us. That's what makes it so damn beautiful."

when other ecchi/harem shows take themselves seriously, i hate it, but when DxD takes itself seriously i personally don't mind it. i think it has an extreme edge in it's entertainment factor compared to other shows in the genre, certain scenes had me absolutely howling with laughter, which in my opinion outweighs the bad stuff, if only by a little bit. even if the author sometimes disrespects the characters and setting by throwing pointless ecchi into what is supposed to be a more serious scene, you can tell a lot of love has been put into the work and it's noticeable. (him taking it to another studio because of what TNK did to BorN for example) it's remained a guilty pleasure for years in my case

Most of all I think the characters are more enjoyable than in most other harem shows. Issei is not a dense gary stue and the main girl isn't an annoying tsundere. The story is also more than just "guy meets 5 beautiful girls at school who all fall in love with him and they save the world".

For me it's characters they are very interesting to watch unlike most of the other harem animes especially Issei.

I liked MC like him in the harem animes.

the mix of nekketsu/fantastic/ecchi + the characters are not your typical moe waifu and they have deep background what makes them even more likeable,but that's not all the anime's lore and story are not that bad too,i really enjoy what's happening especially currently with all the antagonist presented and i won't even talk about the great humor this anime provide,tons of hilarious scenes.

if you think general its maybe not a masterpiece but for a ecchi its fucking great !

Definitely agree with female character Rias is not annoying and Issei is not a clueless gary stu but I still prefer Grisaia as the most entertaining and good harem though

For me DxD is unique because while the light novel has harem characteristics there are other genre elements like action, a developing plot and even tragedy.

DxD has balance of everything

DxD forever hope Hero sales well and a season 5 in 2019 or 2020

I am personally not a fan of DxD. I just think it tried to take it too seriously (yeah yeah, a lot of non-seriousness, yeah yeah) to be a harem anime with an actual plot, it just doesn't work out for me. Issei developes, but after all this seasons, it isn't much. Not to mention, I still think he is pretty annoying and he is down there when it comes to harem main protagonist. His trait of being a pervert is just infuriating rather than entertaining. If I want a perverted harem MC, then I'll go with Rance. In the end, Issei still acts like a cherry boy, just perverted, so it is just extra annoying at that point.

My favorite anime harem MCs are Yuuji Kazuma and Darling-kun from MonMusu, now they act differently yet has a pleasing personality.

DxD is actually one my least liked harem anime.

I guess some of the girls are hotter & more interesting (Rias and Akeno at least) than your usual harem female characters.

But overall its pretty much a generic harem/ecchi anime mixed with typical Shounen stuff, really nothing new. I wish it would take itself less seriously and focus more on the fanservice

Reason 1. Issei isnt an absolute pussy,
Reason 2. The boobs aren't actually censored so that they just look like nippleless patches of skin,
Reason 3. Akeno. Enough said.

In opinion High school dxd has really decent plot llike other ecchi anime with decent plot for example Shokugeki no Souma, the main protagonist issei also really funny and pervert that was make me entertaining to watch. also all issei harem each girl have really good character development. I also like to watch badass male character like azazel, sirzech, vali, Sairaorg Bael ,caocao and many more badass male character not appear in this season.

I usually don't care for fanservice, but this show takes it so far that it becomes ridiculously funny.

Lol, nobody here has mentioned the richness of the lore and the world building? We got devil, angel, fallen angel, vampire, dragon etc. Each has their own background and uniqueness
And how about the fact it might be the only harem series that has cool side male characters, like Vali, Sairaorg, Azazel, Sirzech, Kiba etc

If you love mythological and legendary beings, then DxD has everything you want, from old english, irish, norse, Roman Grecko, Hindu, Judean Christian, Chinese, Egyptian, Demonology, etc.
