I thought the new art style would be very hard to get used to (and while I still am getting used to it a bit) I've adapted to it, and I can say this first episode was pretty alright.

Akeno seems even lewder now with new animation, what a great start wew.
Tfw no Koneko to heal you.
Issei oggling Venelana was lol

Sairaorg seems like a really cool guy, crazy strong too.
Akeno during the intermission ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Now that you mention...it's pretty weird that he rarely calls Rias by her name and he sleeps with her naked..

The ending was perfect, dat Xenovia booty and all those oppai!!

I never was an Akeno fan, but at least I found her to be sexy previously. With this new art style she no longer have that adult older sister charm, the same goes for Rias. Other characters look passable but still prefer the old looks. Whether this new art style look closer to the LN illustrations doesn't matter one bit. If the characters don't look as charming as before, than it is bad.

The fight's animation was decent, at least. Sairaorg seems like a cool opponent for Issei.

Heh I love how after taking all those punches, Issei was dropped to his knees from the shame of having his power said out loud. Usually he owns it wholeheartedly, I guess you could say his embarrassment kinda reflects the respect he has for Sairaorg.

Whew, great to see this back. I honestly love the new artstyle.

For a first episode, it was pretty good. Looking forward to what this new season will bring.

Episode felt kinda rushed. Like many jumps in-between to fit alot of stuff in one episode. Did the Ep 0 took away a episode?

Also the nipple looking way off (beside all the meh character change).

The character animation is much more fluid and dynamic and interesting to watch.

Literally loved the battle choreography its a good choice the author decide to depart his show from the studio and somebody take helm of the project as the previous studio wouldn't be like this. Heck this is only ep 1 so quite excited to what to come.

I'm fine with everyone's design just don't like Rias that much compared to her old design that was great. However again just getting use to it most likely.

I'm truly glad the author decided to kick TNK to the curb after the abomination that was BorN. The change in animation can olny be blamed on the old studio. If they hadn't fucked over Ishibumi and the story they would still have the job.

Great episode. I loved every second of seeing Issei and the gang back. The light bout that Issei had looked way better than all the fights from Born as well imo. Lol'd so hard at Akeno and others trying to get a piece of Issei before he goes on his school trip to Kyoto.

Feels awesome to have this series back and im totally looking forward to the next episode.

Rarely calls Rias by name? Try never. Only in the dub does he call her rias which is a stupid decision on the dubbing team

Now THIS is the DxD I know and love! The change in animation is still taking getting used to, but I absolutely love it. Makes it feel so much more like the light novels. After the terrible pacing of BorN, nice to see such beautiful pacing as well. Absolutely no complaints (Still salty about BorN messing up the timeline), and can't wait for more :)

i didnt consider eps 0 was half-ass (for me eps 0 is Overwrite Story from Previous Studio)
if me as production staff, eps 0 something like test product before release
wait and see what audience response
positive and negative response will be accommodate and try to fix it

Aww isn't Rias lovely? :3

A very good starting episode! The sparring with Sairaorg was excellent and he is one admirable rival. Even after hearing Issei's secret of his strength (which is indeed embarrassing), he still respects him and so does our Harem King xD That Rating Game is going to be epic!

Now... What kind of adversities will our Harem King have to face in that school trip? :P

Wow, this episode gives me faith that Passione will give a quality DxD season. The fight with Sairaorg was fluid and had a much better feel than any prior fight in the season, and just the overall dialogue is better paced as well, I found it pretty jarring in previous seasons.

Really looking forward to some of the big fights later this season.

Its was okay, I like it,and yeah they changed their character design but at least is fun to watch. I really miss the design of akeno and Rias, although the design of the Rias 's brother is very cute ..... oh shit.
Maybe what disappoints me the most is the ecchi that they have put back again.

Yeah I know and it doesn't bother me, hopefully this season will close the romantic relationship, it could be more serious if they were real partners (no only perverts), I still don't expect so much just that it 's could be fun to watch.

I swear I thought I was watching something from Pink Pineapple at first lol

nothing too fancy in this ep I guess, the fight too, not really an epic fight but yeah, still passable as fight scene I guess. in all, this one is a pretty peacful first ep, I still enjoyed it tho..

And god that Akeno at the start, ngggghhh, I can't, I just can't. Koneko might be cute, but Akeno is on different level...

glorious ED animation... finally something on par with the S1 ED ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

As someone who was really disliking the new art style from seeing it in previews and ep 0, i must say that this episode completely changed my opinion on it. Besides the strange long faces girls have in some scenes, i could dare say i might actually prefer this art style more then the old one. All the girls look so much softer and their assets seem to be more....lively and pronounced. And that ED was FREAKING AMAZING from a fanservice point of view.

Im still adapting to the new art style and try to get used to new appearances. Im complaining only for Rias, the rest is okay i guess.
Rias's vibe is changed, she doesn't have the "senpai look" as before and the "pride look" less apparent

Never saw the dub but you're prolly right, he mostly calls her "Buchou", though I think I might have heard "Rias Buchou" a few times, but yea never "Rias".

This art is starting to grow on me. But i still need to see more oppai to be sure. It's kinda funny that Rias is making such a deal about Ise fucking off for 2 days to Kyoto, when last season, he was gone for what, weeks, while he was training with Tannin, and she didn't even seem to care that he was gone.

I have yet to understand why people like Issei. Yeah he's better than most bitch boy harem protagonists, but he still acts like a bitch every time women surround him. This constant artificial tension has never been more annoying after this long. He has no cause to resist their advances yet he does anyway. For someone who 'takes delight in this situation,' he should be going all out at any opportunity.

"But it's not a hentai!!"

Then don't fucking write him into situations like that then?
