----------------------------------------
Mm so this episode focuses more on Akeno. I figured they would of eventually did an episode this season to focus on her. Not going to lie though, she looks cute with her hair down quite a bit with Issei this episode. Felt bad for her past though and she also has quite a strict father.

Issei has quite a chemistry with Akeno imo this episode though. Like seriously, no wonder she fell for him.

No OP song to show buchou's sadness changing into power. Cat sister appearance and got one of the god beast. Main guy is alive (with that medicine). He was able to use that weapon to defeat the enemy. Back to the human world and not finishing summer homework. What the... with those breasts only scene.

Dating with fuku-buchou, and met her father. Then she talked about how her mother got killed and father abandoned them because of her black wing. She made bento for her father.

New arc starting.

So Arthur takes Fenrir with Excalibur Ruler but Loki escaped at the last minute. This didn't happen in the LN so I'm interested in how it will turn out. Looks like next few episodes will be a faithful adaptation of Volume 6.

Yeah, the author confirmed Volume 6 will be more akin to Season 1 and 2 adaptation-wise. Some tweaks here and there, but mostly the same.

Issei dates with Akeno takes place in vol7.
Do they skip Vol 6 and jump to Vol 7? This will let us see Rossweisse joins DxD team faster than LN.

Bummer that we didn't get to see Rias go berserk but I still liked how this battle concluded....That Thor's Hammer scene was cool but I also liked that it didn't exactly finish Loki off so now the Volume 7 ending thing can remain in tact I guess

So this is the famous team that was put together by my boy Vali Lucifer huh....And Fenrir was in their group all along too =o That Arthur dude was pretty cool

The date that Issei had with Akeno was way too cute and seeing her back story was pretty sad (Have wait for the subs in order to fully grasp what was being said during it as well as why her mom died) because it looks like her family were really happy together and her mom was so nice TwT

I'm really happy that she made up with her dad though (She has his eyes :3) and her scene with Issei in that room was really sweet....Dat fanservice tho and dat kiss!!!!!! Also didn't expect to see that Rias's nephew is the son of that maid lady....I respect her brother for hitting dat ass =P

Nice to see the Akeno date take place, though i think it happens much later in the LN. A lot of events are shuffled around but i'm not complaining. It was also nice to see Akeno finally able to give Isse a smooch without being cock-blocked by Rias.

And it was good to see Kiba playing the hero for Tsubaki. That must have solidified her affections for him. Now she can join every other girl in the school in being in love with Kiba (minus Isse's harem of course).


Akeno: "What kind of things do you do on a date?"
Isse: "Oh you know, eat food, visit the arcade... oh, and I get murdered at the end."

The dub shot itself in the foot for having Isssei ALWAYS call Rias by her name thereby making the new drama surrounding him always calling her prez to feel out of the blue when it's the Dub's fault.

Yes, I came by this show and watched it dubbed First and really enjoyed it.
And was so waiting for S3 Dubbed but then they rushed it out and now we have two playing character's who sound so out of place. I'm hoping that I will get use to it but I really liked the past Voice Actor's it suited them really well...
I guess it's a wait and see.

if there is Mjölnir, then why wasn't there Thor? If Odin can summon Thor's hammer, then why not Thor himself? In the light novel, they had a more understandable reason, but the change here in the anime seems to leave a plot hole. Other than that, this was a great ep.

In this episode, I believe Issei has actually referenced or show hints of that Oppai technique. The first hint was during his battle against Loki where he mentioned wanting to meet a God of "breasts" instead of a evil God. The second hint was when he was doing his homework, he started talking to himself on how during his training, his lust for boobs grew stronger that he hallucinated "conversing" with boobs, and it inspired him into planning to create a "new technique" that will surpass Dress break. The third hint is when Akeno and Issei were alone on the bed and Issei (/Akeno) heard a strange voice after Issei touched her boobs.

I'm pleasantly surprised we got this Akeno-centric episode at this point in the series.

Looking forward to that fight with Saiaorg at some point.

The whole fight with Loki was kind of whack to me. I thought I was going to see Rias go ape shit and kick some ass, but oh well.

Nice character development form the home girl Akeno. Not only did we get to see her back story, but also her come to terms with it.

Wonder what Vali is setting up. Hopefully is epic.

I liked the portrayal of Akeno's development, and thought it was handled well... but they cut Chichigami from the whole process....

other than that, Loki is dead already but placed a curse on them? wtf?

I dunno..... even if these changes are Ishibumi approved I'm still having a lot of trouble with the way this season is going....

the power-up progression is completely screwed...

5 -> 6 -> 7 involved leveling up from struggling in a rating game against Sona, to fighting against the
to defeating Loki. My opinion is that the power-ups obtained in the fight against Loki are enough for Rias' group to completely stomp the Sitri group in the young devils' rating games,


I also think that if the fight against Loki comes before the rating game, then the Sitri group wouldn't have been so surprised(or fearful) about the Gremory group's growth in the 14th volume.... c'mon, if they can kill a god, then mopping up some


I dunno... this season is, overall, tough for me. They're really doing a decent job with the adaptation, maintaining character developments and relationship developments. As a LN reader, though, it's really hard to stomach the changes. I figure I'll have to watch this season again, when it's done airing, and try to separate myself from the novels as much as possible to really appreciate it.

tldr: I'm conflicted :P

Is the author really helping out with this? I find it hard to believe, the changes are awful. I'm trying my best to enjoy this but as an LN reader it's incredibly hard.

The whole Rias going berserk felt stupid. Like some poor attempt to add in some last minute drama. Then to find out she was going to kill herself it seems. It was all for nothing since he had a spare Phoenix tear. It just felt like a complete waste of time!

The fight with Loki was stupid. He's a God and yet he got beat so easily. Even though Loki didn't have that much time in the LN, at least he didn't look like fodder. The anime hasn't even mentioned that Mjolnir is a replica and not the real thing. I hate how Issei easily picked up the hammer. He couldn't even wield it until he was granted access to it by the breast god. I guess Loki is not coming back. If he does, it's B.S after being hit by Mjolnir. The studio could have just let Vali and Issei fight together making Loki retreat which is what was supposed to happen.

The relationship between Akeno and her father was rushed and done poorly. Baraqiel didn't like Issei being near his daughter and didn't accept him. I hated how Akeno accepted her father just like that. If I remember correctly, the whole scene where she revealed her true feeling was supposed to happen when her father was there too. He then understood her pain and they made up.

tldr: I don't mind them changing scenes and adding in anime original content but at least do it so that it's good. I feel like this could have been done a lot better. They should have just stuck to the source material and cut out what was needed.

Damn Highschool DxD is still holding strong episodes, if this keeps going it will be the best harem/ecchi anime of all times.
