Terribly dissapointed, trully suffering

It's so annoying that people dont bother to read the LN there's translations read them FFS and dont just complain about every bloody detail .the fact that the studio changed FFS why does it matter it's continuing the story the way it should be . It not like it changed the characters from your point of view yes but if you read about them and there development it dosnt matter they are still the same . No matter how you argue they are the same all becouse you can't fucking fap of to them and make excuses they look young well they are young ffs they are not meant to look mature and older. They are high schoolers deal with it. The argument is about the series is completey invalid. And just shows that the LN readers will always be the main people that actually enjoy and love the series and understand what it's all about. Yes most LN fans don't like the style but it dosnt stop them from watching it.

Alright everyone, this is a forum about the anime, let that sink in for a bit. Anyways, I’m a fan of tearjerkers. But, I still find Ishibumi’s way to resolve the inc. juggernaut drive to be lacking in terms of maturity. TNK didn’t ruin that part in my eyes, they figured it was tactless so they changed it up. Listen, I knew about the titty bar song before because people kept spoiling it in the episodes discussion threads back in the born forums. Back in the Higurashi days VN readers would suffer dear consequences for spoiling stuff like this.

I don’t fap to anime, I haven’t yet.

But anyways, back on topic.

I just watched 00-01-02-03-04.

Out of all the episodes I watched, 01 was the best, art quality was high, the pacing was great, and the plot got interesting.

Out of all the episodes I watched, 1 was most memorable, 2 had the most ´action’.

The Hero brigade was boring, nothing happened besides shameless boasting : “oh look at me, I’m a human, I can do things devils, gods, yokai, angels, fallen angels, and dragons can do! Did you see that giant robot? Are u scared? Look, I beat a robot that belongs to Vali and friends!”. Insert Azasael senpai’s face of disbelief that they destroyed an ancient, rusted piece of technology that was sailing through the rift dimension.

Though, I really liked Issei’s leadership capabilities. Maybe the reason this showboating showdown was so boring was because he held everybody together. Then again, there are awesome animes where the main is OP, and it can still be fun like Death March, or Smartphone Isekai.



So, studio passione has 2 good episode on 5. 2/5

One was stellar, the other was ok.

I feel like the pacing is off, I can’t stand the circlejerking between the hero, White dragon, and red dragon factions. Holy gee, if this were TNK, they woulda skipped most of the meaningless exchange. And got right into the thick of things with tits flying everywhere.

Sometimes, things that fit well in a light novel, don’t translate well onto the screen. That’s why some studios need to adapt the story. We didn’t get far this season, we’re already 1/4 through, and it’s a stalemate.

I also didn’t appreciate the flashbacks Issei had, I would rather Ovas exploring those memories more in depth, than shoving them at me, and trying to legitimize a rating game that didn’t happen.

Mature
Tit flying everywhere
Transfer well into animation medium
Wait a minute, sound familiar~


6:30 onward
Asia almost killed from losing SG.
Look, tit hanging out because... wait, what? Did she get groped by Raynare? Molested by Freed? What do you mean nothing happen and it just hang out for the lulz?

Asia died in tear for her first friend.
Issei was crying his heart out for his first friend.
Look! A dead girl's tit. ლ(¯ロ¯"ლ)

What a piece of art ┐( ´ д ` )┌

Consider most of TNK previous season at best had some high light, while the rest uneventful with fan service to buy time. Consider you don't count episode 3 as worth mentioning, the fanservice sure doesn't count. Consider the action of Born made me hoping mad and quit watching after episode 9... Season 1 get 1/12. Season 2 get 2/12. Season 3 get 0/12

Hey looks, I can make arbitrary subjective scoring too.

Also funny you are praising TNK for cutting meaningless exchange, right after saying you don't appreciate the flash back and would prefer an OAV.

Well shit, turn out what they considered meaningless was integral to the plot. And in your opinion, Passione has to make entire OAV to rectify that before making Hero. Victim blaming much? (•ิ_•ิ)?

In an Antichrist ritual the bearing of the flesh and the crucifying of an innocent are an attempt at Christ and God his holiness, they are disrespecting the divine, sacred, and the body the Lord gave them. In almost all Antichrist rituals there will be naked females, some are sexual sacrifices, others are life sacrifices. Of course there will be the bearing of the flesh! In some cases, there is necrophilia.

It is not contradictory. Without giving a proper context, only LN readers will actually understand the true meaning of these flash backs, their urgency, and their overall effects on the story. It’s a slap in the face to Anime watchers who won’t feel the weight of the scenarios. It’s quite blatant they are catering to a LN readers.

I mean like come on did people actually expect a serious story where the main character gets a power-up from touching breasts or even thinking about touching them? And then gets praised the hell for it?

Dxd is and always will be a silly retared show, that it's gimmick. The moment it takes itself seriously is the moment it would start to fail. (Hence why i think it's good that Passione took this over.)

00Q said:
"The new art is shit", they say. "It's childish", they say. "It's not DxD anymore!", they say. "The story is fucked up", they say. But in the end, majority of those who rant like crying babies still watch this. Truly ironic and hypocritical.

I normally don’t feel the need to talk about such things publicly. But this is absolutely the time to speak.

It’s been several days now since I’ve watched first two episodes of Hero. Then I started reading comments and reviews, here and there, and I just cannot believe how far different my view is from the most of people.

To begin with, I need to underline that I am not a LN fan as I have not read it yet, I probably will some day. I started with an anime, then moved to reading manga. And I am freakin glad it went that way, because High School DxD anime is one of the best things that ever hapenned to me. I cannot live without it and certainly won’t live without it. I rewatch the whole series every year, with the greatest feeling of satisfaction and a huge hunger for more (for the record - no fapping, not even thinking about it...).

DxD Hero:
Rias is not Rias (!).
Xenovia is not Xenovia.
Asia - what the hell?!
Where is the mysterious, dark atmosphere?
Where is the maturity in characters? The "unknown" in their eyes?
Koneko is not sexy anymore. Actually, no one is sexy anymore. But hey, everyone is insanely busty instead, let’s celebrate!
The colors are riculously washed out. There is NO DEPTH in the scenes at all, no details. Why would you like it, I am clueless. Maybe the “better animation” that is so praised everywhere I look. Well, good animation is for nothing, when what is being animated is crap.
The OP and the song itself is getting good reviews. Sure, it is pretty decent, but it sure as hell doesn’t fit here. It sounds like every other OP song you can hear in any anonymous series. SylipS and the others where doing such an excellent job, literally every song from previous seasons was distinctive and totally corresponding to the series. It was 100% customized for DxD, not to mention that in some of them even the cast took part, what was unbelievably cute. On the other hand, the ED from Hero is totally out of place, with endless, bright sun (palms, seriously?) and vulgar car washing. I admit, in the previous seasons sometimes there was too much nudity in EDs, but they were subtle (in comparison), somewhat sophisticated and very characteristic. This one could end any harem series, just swap the faces. And I literally feel raped after listening this wildly fast beat. It's just garbage.

Someone somwehere said that only 3 first seasons will preserve as “canonical” and they are the only true adaptation of DxD. He was severly laughed for this words. But guess what - he couldn’t be more RIGHT. The majority of people complain about the dissonance between the LN story and the plot. Really, tell me, wouldn’t you all be glad to get another tastefull season from geniuses (yes, that’s indeed my opinion) from TNK with getting back to the LN story? They just added/changed some content, that may or may not be superb/lame, but is it really the reason to cruelly burn and spit on their whole legacy? The plot mistakes could be easily fixed. Are some minor changes really the reason to give it all up and turn the whole production (which had its strong position, style and concept) to the small studio with no real achievements and huge chance of failure? Well, you tell me. But still, people generally sound pretty satisfied with the way it is... again, totally clueless.

What is more, most of you praise the universe for getting another season, no matter how it looks or how it feels. Another season of DxD, yay, let’s be totally gullible, we’re in luck! I don’t understand it at all. It seems that almost all that matters for most of people is the plot, and how the anime looks is literally just a matter of getting used to. Why not get used to some other ecchi series then? Or, a simple question, why do you need DxD anime at all? Why not stick to LN only? Are you watching it because you are bored? Or really, is it the fapping? I watched it because I loved it. For the trully unique atmosphere, for the great, adequate art (yes, great art, even in BorN) and exceptionally tasteful fan service. And music! God, the music... This all together used to take me to another, better place, in which I could stay eternally.
Hell, the TNK production had it all! Now the chance for more IS GONE...

Most of you act like only art had changed. Can’t you see that EVERY SINGLE THING (except VA) is different? IT IS NOT THE HIGH SCHOOL DXD ANYMORE. It is just some random, poorly executed near-hentai anime with no taste, no ambition to be something else, resembling every other sh*t on the market. It’s simplified to the fullest, every aspect, and the art is just the tip of an iceberg. It only happens to pretend to be a continuation of a flawless (again, that’s indeed my opinion) series. No one seem to notice here that it doesn’t take just random group of people to adaptate such a story and build a complexed piece of work. And for f* sake, there is nothing more frustrating in the world!

I am a deeply grieving man that I’ve never thought any material thing (or its lack) could turn me into. I fell like it will never stop, at least not until everything gets back to the way it was. Which will most probably be never. Now I can’t even enjoy my beer time, because I am constantly contemplating “why did it went so wrong and nobody sees it?”. I’ve never even imagined this whole situation with changing studios could happen. I was blindly believieng that we will get another brilliant season from TNK.

As much as I love Ichibumi for bringing DxD alive, I so much more hate him for his typical human pride weakness and getting back on TNK (and in result fans like me - I believe I am not alone) by taking the series from them. Certainly there was a way to fix it, they could’ve resolve their issues, nothing was broken to the point of no return. Well, now it is. Considering all this, I wish the season 4 never happened. This way we could still hope for a return of rightful heir from TNK. Even if we had to wait years more. Because now we didn’t get a continuation, but a very weak reboot. I feel uterly, mercilessly BETRAYED. And what frustrates even more is the fact that I seem to be in a minority. Why are most of you so OK with all that? Are you blind or is something very wrong with me? I am shocked seeing the average of 7,60.

One of my dearest friend is gone. Some strange people take him out of the grave and insolently try to revive him, telling that everything is all right. IT’S A MOST PAINFUL THING TO SEE. And I hope it stops...

P.S. No matter how delusional this sounds, if I could make any difference, by money or anything in the world, to make it go back to the way it was, I would. Now I feel like it’s my only goal. I am just a simple, meaningless western man. But if I ever needed a reason to change it, I just got it. I can’t live in a world where High School DxD is being slaughtered like that.

people complain about how there personalty have changed .. they haven't you can thank your precious TNK for that if you think otherwise . they didn't just cut content they ruined development , there personaltys in season 4 are the correct ones as it continues as if the 3 vols TNK failed to do was done correctly

you do realise that Season 4 would have never happend with TNK considering season 3 pretty much seemed like there last one for them . otherwise they wouldn't have Tried and failed i might add at closing a plot point with issei and rias and 4 years with no news was basically a hint

and This series will never go back to TNK so keep dreaming

and anime is supposed to be an adaption not part of an adaption and go of course ruin story progress and character progress by skipping and deciding to do your own thing by making 3 pointless episodes that adds nothing or changes anything in the end the build up to the last episode of season 3 completey goes out the window ,

Ichibumi had the right to complain and had the right to take it from them

I agree I really felt season 3 last parts out of the place now I understand why.....

Born was worst, actually..
Oh, and Hero is the best.. :P

By the way I don't care if it is made by TNK or Passione or someone else....I need harmony of the characters the elements the music the OST the author and many other things that are needed to make it better.....We need to feel Issei is cool not just ero and I felt nothing like that in season 4....but I did feel it in season 1 in some episodes of season 3 , season 1 and my best experience was with SEASON 2....REAL AWESOME::)) after 2 episodes though

Kzami said:
Can you explain why season 4 was best to u?

Riverlia said:


Such depth of field, much detail.

Yes, it's not using that dark shading tone. Guess what, DxD is an optimistic story in which love, friendship and children trust win the way. It has some occasional tragedy/drama for flavor, but what exactly made the darker tone necessary outside of your preference?

Oh, let not forget the story so far took place in places with very well-lit condition.
It's not like Hero can't dark tone the scene when necessary. Because as seen in the example above, Hero Rias standing in a shade had darker tone than Rias in S1e12.

Rias is not Rias anymore blah blah. Who died and made the anime design some kind of unviolable primary canon?

Unknown in their eyes... Yeah we are getting in the field of subjective imagination here.


They changed it (LN to TNK) because the LN designer did not work on the anime. Now they changed it because TNK and the author had a falling out and theh can't reused the design. It's business as usual.

It's as simple as this: you hate the art so much? Quit watching it. No one is forcing you to watch it.

You can go rewatch TNK version and may be write up your imagination of how that masterpiece should end, nobody is taking that from you. Why the fish are you torturing yourself and then complain? Are you M?

If you hope the author will switch back if you nagged enough, he won't. He and TNK fell out and according to his blog post, he's happy with Hero, and most sign indicates JP fans care more about the fact that TNK s3 butchered the story.

ogorhan said:
So in short LN readers find Hero the best cuz it actually follows the LN while the TNK watchers find the first few seasons the best cuz better animation. Now im all in bout following the source material but I just cant get used to the new studio and really liked TNK better.

So what if TNK did the next season while being faithfull to the source material? I think everyone would be happy.

ps: I dont know the reason it switched studios (nor do I care enough to research it) so its just a pipe dream.
