I disagree, this season should be completely removed from the sequels after DxD next and be included in a separate section [spin off].

As detached as this is to LN it is still proper sequel from New.

Not even close.

If you look at it closely like lyric in OP for example everything that happen up until now made sense. Because of all loving hero Issei is and his past he failed to notice Rias change. Rias is there when he save Koneko and also when he save Asia. Her desire to be treated as equal is what driving motivation for this season. She always want Issei to watch her the way he watch other too. It might look like childern tanturm but I can see where this is coming from.

Also Azazal lending Fafnir not giving it.

It's still bullshit since now if hte story ever reaches the Transilvania arc there's no mystery about what the hell Azazel gave Asia before he left with Rias and Kiba. I used to be naive like you once. Then I had to face facts.

Yeah, because the 4th arc had any chances of being animated to begin with.

As if that makes any of this crap right. Spoiler. It doesn't.

What crap? As I said, it doesn't get in the way of adaptating the rest of the 3rd arc. If you don't like it, hey, it's fine, different opinions exist after all. But nothing Ishibumi did makes it such a big deal, specially considering he constantly retcons stuff in the LNs.

My point is, if you're going to hate on someone, hate on the person that made the changes, aka Ishibumi, and not the ones who were just paid to animate the script he gave them.

He only stated that he was proud or something along those lines with the work after ep 1-2.

Please which part of it detached from the prequel? None.

Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

Hmm, and the idea of introducing the plot point that will appear in the next LN came from who I wonder?
There were some times where he said on his twitter he liked certain scenes or aspects more than the way he did in the LN. JD and the Koneko-Kuroka relationship for example.

Because the armor took the brunt of getting hit by Cao Cao's spear. Again your desperation to defend this atrocity of an adaptation is nothing short of laughable.

What's laughable is that you actually think Azazel would die easily like that. He cut his own arm off like it was nothing. And Cao Cao himself said Azazel could mop the floor with him, so really, your point is moot.

It is funny that now you say how strong Azazel is but in topic "Change: Good or Bad? (Spoiler)" you did not even call his name when you argued with me about if it was enough strong team for Loki or not. ;)

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 ;)

I won't write off the whole season as terrible, or swear that "I'M DONE WITH DXD!!!"
this season was just, by and large, disappointing.

my thoughts:
(-) training turned into a crappy montage
(-) no sitri rating game
(-) loki and fenrir designs
(-) akeno development cut
(-) AO ending
(+) volume 6

it looks a little lopsided, but I still won't call the season terrible, just disappointing.... my score will definitely drop, though, compared to the first two seasons

@averagefanboy... you're arguing all over the place that everything is awesome, and it's clear for anyone to see that you're completely blind to all the bad in this season. if Ishibumi shit in a cone and called it ice cream, you'd probably lap it up and say it was the best you'd ever had. try to be a little more objective

"Let's make a miracle happen using the power of friendship."
"If that was all it took, there'd be no need for training arcs!"

"Normal rabbits don't carry guns!"

I never said everything is awesome. I said the changes don't get in the way of the rest of the 3rd arc being adapted and that the original plot line is not worse than some things we get in the LNs. The only thing I gave a shit about even before the season started was JD and volume 6. I got it, so my rating will be high.

Too much spoiler but I guess I'll go along with it.

Here Azazel lending Fafnir to Asia. Whatever happen on the next episode Fafnir is still sealed in artificial sacred gear that Azazel create. Meanwhile in later story Azazel release Fafnir before he finally give it to Asia.

I don't see any problem here.

THe problem is that we already know what he gave her so when she finally uses Fafnir it won't be a surprise like it was in the novels. Still don't see the problem? Do I need to get a binoculars for you since you're so far away that you don't see the MOUNTAIN of issues?

Is that even come as surprise? Asia have good affinity with dragon since the start. She have tamed Raisei and even she can befriend out Dragon God.

Yes it is a surprise. Her affinity with dragons was jsut pointed out with Rase. Azazel could have given her ANYTHING at that point. But now we know EXACTLY what he'll give her. Do I really need to spell it out for you in planet sized NEON bright letters to get the simple logic through your thick head?

Who is that the first person who talk with Dragon God and befriend her?

That has nothing to do with it. You keep bringing up things that in no way point out with giant red markers that HEY AZAZEL JUST GAVE ASIA FAFNIR LOL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT COMING INTO PLAY LATER IN THE ARC.

Fafnir jewel is still intact with sacred gear. Therefore he is still bounded by Azazel. And Asia having Fafnir is not much as twist as why did Azazel give it in the first place.
