What do you guys think? Well I think the Season one ending was better than season 2... also what of the voices for Xenovia and Shidou Irina

I thought it was pretty good, it sounds like Rikiya Koyama is voicing Azazel.

The ED was also pretty underwhelming but I came in expecting that it wouldn't top the S1 ED

lol @ that right from the beginning. It's back! OP's cool. Too bad there's rumor about the guy saying the girls are being tricked badly. ... by his friends who are jealous. So that eating finger thing was to stop the dragon berserk. Meeting at his house, so everyone got to see the photos when he was young. A sacred sword, ultimate weapon to destroy demon especially Excalibur, spotted in one of his photos, and that ikemen became cold and said that destroying it was his original goal because his family got killed by it.

Two new characters appeared, including the one who played with the main guy when he was young, who's actually a girl. Then ikemen met that guy from church who has excalibur now. ... @ ED.

Sigh, looks like I have to wait till after I get home to watch it.

Edit: Well I'm quite surprised that it was uncensored, and it was a good start for season 2.

The ED of season 1 is A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW, let's face it. I would say it is among a few of the best ED in recent anime history.

As for the voice of Xenovia and Irina, Uchida Maaya and Taneda Risa are two of the brightest rising stars in seiyuu world - few even knew about them back when season 1 was aired. I think they are doing fine. And don't forget Sakura Ayane, another rising star, who will voice Gasper. HDxD really gets the most energetic and youthful seiyuu force to boost up its appeal ;-)
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

Ah, the Excalibur...this should be good. Well regarding the two new main characters, they will be from the LN so it should be a sight to see.


I wonder how it will be adapted. Anyways, great to see this back! With 12 episodes, this should be something of a sight to watch.

It's completely uncensored, but then again, they could do a To Love-Ru Darkness, and have the first two uncensored then the rest censored and make us wait for the BluRays to come out ._.

Good start voices for Xenovia and Irina really suited the charactors Azazel wasn't quite what I imagined but still decent.

Still nice to see the Baka trio animated.

Totally loved the OP, though that part where Issei is fighting Xenovia and Irina together is misleading. I like the service it brought I guess. Nice to see the complete Student Council. I wanted to see what they all looked like. And my favorite part would be: Vali and Azazel
キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!!!!

They took their liberty with this first episode in terms of adaptation. They did mess up and introduce Sona early in the first season and had that dodgeball match so they had to do something about Kiba spacing out in here in an activity. I don't mind I guess.
And introducing Azazel this early. It won't mess up anything in the story but I can see some hardcore LN readers complain about this. He's voiced by Koyama Rikiya and it doesn't ruin anything so no complaints for me.

Uchida Maaya as Irina is getting noticeable now. She used her Mao voice from GJ-bu and her Frenda voice from Railgun. Taneda Risa is okay for Xenovia. Needs some screenshots of them especially from the OP.
And lol, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu returning as Freed. It's Accelerator with Kirito's voice. Crazy.

I can't say I'm not disappointed with the ED but I am. Sure, it's hard to top the ED of season 1 but this was kinda underwhelming. Especially the art even though the girls are all naked. Oh well.

So far so good I guess. Let's hope it delivers more service, plot and PLOT.

PS. Was that Ishihara Kaori who voiced the alarm clock? That was her right?

Most of the current ratings came before the first episode was even publicly broadcasted, and were probably blindly given by fanboys of the first season. It's practically guaranteed that the rating will take a huge drop once more votes from people who have actually seen the damn thing start coming in.

AT-X did it again...uncensored.

Not a bad opening and ending. I hope it will follow the Light Novel very well.

It is good to see Azazel in this episode. Too bad there is a rumor about Issei doing shameless things with his Occult Club members. His two friends were jealous...lol.

The sword...Excalibur was nice. Xenovia and Irina made their cameo appearances in this episode.

I just saw the first minutes, since the video is yet RAW, so I m waiting for the subs. Loved the OP BTW! I saw some people saying azazel appeared already, being a LN reader, and had read all of those 14(now 15) volumes, I think it maybe strange, since he only shows himself at volume 4 (7-12 episodes of this I supposed), but I love azazel character, he is SOO FUNNY!! So a bad thing it wont be, cant wait for the sub version!!

You can check out the main subbing groups from a tab at the bottom of DxD Season 1's page.

At least 1 have openly confirmed on their website that they'll be subbing it

And I'd guess that the sub will be available tomorrow, Tuesday being the latest.

Was really surprise to see the that is was uncensored. I just wish it would be subbed already, so I can know what the hell is going on with Kiba. The ending for was okay. I mean is not them dancing on a stripper pole, but that whole coming out of the color smoke was great.

Brilliant and sexy. Just a perfect first ep. Thankfully it's uncensored! Glad AT-X didn't pull the same shit they did with TLRD.

Anyway. learning about Kiba's past is nice. Hopefully the other characters get the same treatment.

This is shaping up to be better than the first season.

Just saw the subbed version. This looks to be a promising season. I like the plot, the whole holy sword shit seems to be the main point. Also I think its mostly going to be about Kiba and Issei, but I guess we will just have to see. Overall good first episode.

Alright!, It's finally here :D.

I love the opening song + the opening, the ending song is catchy. It's been a while since I've read the novel, so it's refreshing to see the adaption <3 (luckily).

Azazel is pretty much how I thought he would be, Xenovia also. Irina's voice is doesn't fit the image I had of her, but I don't mind it that much. Overall I'm pretty happy with the 1st episode, this is going to be a fun ride ^^.

The very first 10 second we are greated by Rias oppai. Thought this episode is mostly filler because the suposed material already adapted in the first season but I'm statisfied with the appearance of Azazel. And the OP is better than season 1 OP but unfortunately the D cannot beat the greaness of the first ED.

And another thing is hurray for the appearance of Xenovia and self-proclaimed childhood friend Irina.

Yes it's starting from volume 3. Thought the group combat at the end is filler. Suposedly it was the dodgeball game that have been adapted in the first season thought the conclusion is still the same.
