| One advantage of anime over live-action is that even if years go by between seasons, the actors can return looking just like when you last saw them. Yet here we have a complete cast change for no reason. If the characters weren't calling each-other by name constantly, I wouldn't even be able to identify them. I will probably keep watching, but this is going to hamper my enjoyment considerably. |
| New art is so much better. More aligned with ToLove Ru style. I used to complain about the design now I am happy : D |

DrakeHur said: kanyalmohit said: Yes the new art seems to be taken from LNs, but I still liked old art from season 1 to 3. The fight scene looked great, but the ecchi scene looked worse to me (mainly Rias & Akeno's art). I see people saying all they care about is anime to remain faithful to LN story and don't care about art, well then why even watch the anime? Just read the LNs or re-read them in case u have already finished because no matter what, anime can't do 100% justice to LN story (even season 1 & 2 left some bits). That last bit was such a horrible point...and weak for that matter..."Why even watch the anime? Just read the LNs"? Well maybe because some of us dont WANT to read it? Some of us may want to be working on something Whilst watching an anime, Cant do that with a LN...Yeah Anime Cant and WONT be 100% accurate lol Take season 3 for example...apparently that was a mess according to the fans of the franchise... I for one however welcome the new Art style, Why you may ask? because i dont care what it looks like so long as its animated lol I want to be able to sit down with Everyone not just sit there quietly reading something and falling asleep halfway through it. I'll be honest here, and this OPINION will be a very unpopular one, no doubt, But I'ma be real pissed off if all this backlash for the art style makes the studio give up one season in and we're stuck getting nothing more then the 4 season we got lol Why cant we just watch it and enjoy it? Don't worry. THe backlash is only in the west and it's already starting to die down if you compare episode 0 to the latest. A lot more positive reactions were posted. |

Darklight0303 said: You will choose? You think they're going to change it back just cause you don't like it? And you think being a passive aggressive asshole towards others will somehow change their personal opinion? |
| New art is completely trash for this series. The biggest disappointment is Akeno and Roswiesse look terrible (cute) now and not as sexy. The show could barely be taken seriously with it's old (better) art, so now that it has new 'cute' art, I am at a loss for words here. Also, Gasper looks even queerer than before. |

 Yes, you totally can clearly see the difference and tell which art style has changed for the better |
Riverlia said: Yes, you totally can clearly see the difference and tell which art style has changed for the better Well I agree with you that new artwork is better as it provides higher quality of jiggle physics which tbh DxD is all about. But this kind of artwork make the action scenes suffer. |

But this kind of artwork make the action scenes suffer. DxD Hero's capability in term of action scene has already been proven in episode 1, with Issei vs Sairaorg. Whole body movement of the armor, clearly animated combat, fluid movement. So whether the artwork made it harder or not, the studio proved they can handle it. Though to begin with, a rounder, less angular design should make animating action scene easier, not harder. TNK on the other hand was overly relied on semi-still (almost fixed pose minimal movement) then use cut away to mimic motion (ie animate Issei cocking his hand, black screen, Issei already hit). Sometime they use close in to avoid large whole body motion, and at other time use a much less detailed armor if they couldn't get away with it. It make for good screenshots because they made the semi-still armors as shiny as possible to compensate/distract viewer, but not that great at conveying the fight in motion. Put the design drawn by the designers next to each other, it's true that old style has somewhat more details and looks more mature due to more angular shape (aesthetically better or not is subjective and case by case for each character, so no comment). However, when being animated, the one drawing the scene isn't the designer, but animation staff. A complicated design will still be simplified if they lack time and money, or if they simply just can't replicate the designer's skill. A more angular design also make it harder/more time consuming to draw multiple continuous frames for an action without something sticking out at the wrong place. Rounder = less likely for fuck up and easier to fix. That, and I guess Passione animation staff is just better than the one TNK had on DxD duty. They really mistreated one of their best cash source. |

You explain they call you talkative. I simply opt for the later. Next time I'll just say "BS, Hero Life 1 action > TNK", if that's your style. |

| At this very moment, after seeing the special and first 2 episodes. I don't dislike it, it's just a matter of getting used to it. Eventho in the new art the girls look to be more THICC. |

| The new art style and the old stlyle are both good, the new style is more fluid which helps in the fighting scenes and boobs movements (which looks pretty good) the problem is that it looks less attractive and the characters look a lot puffier but in the end it doesn't matter for me cause i like it and it looks good, it just takes getting used too, by far the story is being a big improvement from what Born was but in terms of fan-service they need to step it up a bit cause High School DxD is more daring than this... |
