Mariosyian said: Does anyone have any idea what Issei said at the beach scene? The moment the voice went out after Rias told him her dream of him calling her by her first name? It doesn't matter. It's not canon. Forget it happened |
| Could it have been better? |
| So what happens in the LN? I actually like this. But that's mainly because I really lower my standards so much when I watch this series. |

| Gonna miss the oppais, hope there will be a season 4. Love it up till the JD activation. Other than that it was a bit bland. |

| Another great season of this lovable show finished, was a massive improvement over New as well in my opinion since it had a lot more plot development, action and Vali. Another big plus was Issei pretty much being able to use his Balance Breaker at will now which is awesome every single time, its just too much hype for my body to handle. 9/10 please give us a season 4! |

Ignorance is bliss for you |
| At the end of episode 10: Started with the wrong choice using the same tactic that was used with Asia: kidnap. Then, really poor, weak and predictable episodes 11 and 12. And to get worst, used the tactic "lost memory" with Issei -> when you thought that would have a development with Rias............ NO! eat this "lost memory" cliche tactic..! Oh, and Rias didn't lose her memory..... even passing through the same emotional e physic situation of Issei..... Ok, Ok..... really right. Right before the scene where Rias is kidnapped (episode 10), I was thinking in give to this show a 7, now, 6 is a certainty, maybe a 5. |

| At last the tale of the dress breaker and the boobs galore and the hot redheaded busty devil..is at an end. BOOB SONG!! BOOB DRAGON EMPEROR!!! Not to oshabby, but...it droned on lol PErhaps there shall be another season, but I can only wait for the ovas for now. Show gets a solid 6/10 and if not for the boobs, it might have been less I hate to say. Hail the dress breaker. |
| damn stop with oppai song , guys we need season 4 afap. |
 |
| Was a good way to end the third season. It had all the feels, Rias came back to her mind und they defeat the fake Issei. The kiss was so cute, I'm curious if Issei will remember to name Rias as Rias someday. A lot of things aren't clear, so season 4 will definitely happen. Nice to see Rossweisse also joined Rias family. So funny when she was wondering about the costs for the assurances :D A little bit cringe at the end with the opaii song but okay that's H DxD. All in all I liked most of the episodes. So it's an 8/10 for me. |

| I hope they go back a bit on the ecchi for s4. I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint, but I prefer my DxD to be provocative yet humorous, not porn. Less "fap fap fap" more "DAYUM, THAT IS A NICE RACK?" I also hope we get to the Kyoto arc ASAP |

| Sweet Lucifer, people complain over the stupidest shit. Up till the last 2 episodes it was by far the best. If only I didn't keep thinking "Its a shonen. No one will stay dead". Which is really my only negative. Yes the last arc sucked but that doesn't really detract from the other 10 episodes. I'm sure you all know by now but they retconned the last episode. |

They retconned more than that. |
| Everything in season 3 apart from the first 2 episodes is retconned thanks to the EX novels bundled with BorN. EX establishes that BorN is a alternate timeline. As for people saying the last two episodes aren't canon that's half true. Those episodes don't follow the light novels but those episodes had the author involved. I mean episode 12 contains content from light novel volumes 19 and 20. Those last two episodes were probably a reminder promotion for light novel readers to buy volume 20 considering it released shortly after BorN finished airing. I still enjoyed BorN though and episode 13 is great. |

| I hope there is a 4th season very soon |
 |
| Nice kiss! Felt they were rushing because of the length of their season and the LN. Very nice episode. Oppai! |
 |
| Having only watched the anime, I noticed too that all the events after the Juggernaut drive were lackluster. I absolutely adored the Koneko character development. The juggernaut drive sequence was amazing, pure adrenaline! Which is why I believe that BorN is still good. My critique lies in not solving what was bothering Rias the whole season. Right from the get go she is upset about the state of her relationship and even at the very end Issei shows some poor form by not starting to say her name. A better resolution to this should have happened. The two of them end up in that situation because Issei can't communicate that he wants to be an equal to Rias before he gets really serious with her, and Rias for whatever reason couldn't just say, call me by my name. Are there English translations of the light novels? |

Are there English translations of the light novels? The Rias thing is not supposed to be solved at this point. It's a key point later in the series. Yes but it is a fantranslation |
| Ridiculous how a song called Boob Dragon sung by Issei can be an idol for children ... Anyhow conclusion was alright in this episode. A full set! Unlike the other seasons this season was a little less entertaining. 7/10 |
 |
| Ahh the disappoint,ment is real. Guess not everyone gets what they like huh? But it's still doesn't change the fact that they changed it into a half-assed ending. Seriously, I want to know why :/ Oh well what's done is done. Can't change it back now can we? Let's just see what the future of this series has in stall for us. Overall, it was meh adaptation - 6/10 - (Should be 5 but 'cos I really like the LN, +1) |
 |
| I would definitely get the CD for the Oppai song :D Season 3 was the most disappointing. Nothing memorable :/ 6.5/10 |
| It was good show. But not as good as the previous seasons. The plot felt quite anti-climatic especially towards the end. But apart from that it was fun to watch. I hope other girls got more screen-time in season 4. Overall 7/10 |
| After third time rewatching, To be honest feels like they just put to much for just on there last 2 episode, just to much talking and so much stuff thats just packed in, this is like a time when they fucking need!!! an other episode, cause it nothing but talking and you dont understand shit, cause it to much you cant keep up at all most of the time, little depressing tbh, but in overall its still is i alright "fight" or wha ever you wanna call it,was not much of a fight tho just talk talk boom rias saved, boom enemy gone, like really.. then talktalk to where they leave just to many unanswered questions.. and some what cliffhangers as well.to where its just a mystery. Overall!!! This season is a clear 8.9/10 ish (9/10) to me, cause its not that i don't like it,i do love this serie. its just feels like they rushed it at the last 2 and packed to much fucking stuff in 2 episode. but if i'm going critical here i give it a 7,3/10 maybe even a 6,4 but oh well, right now i just FUCKING NEED ANOTHER SEASON That better be something that can fix these last 2 maybe 3 episodes... And to be honest again, The kiss to me is great, really nice beach scene but then again could have been better done, its just to poor on what the fuck is happening... |

" sure it not that big of a deal but you are kind of interested to know. but i just take it as "i love you" |

| Say my name, Say my name. Predictable outcome. OPPAI DRAGON SONG HAS ARRIVED! Got to end the season with Rias at the window. I'm aware of the changes, but I hope for more DxD. It's amazing. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Overall I thought it was a pretty good season. Sure the last few episodes felt a bit rushed but the rest of the episodes made up for it imo. Heres hoping for season 4 |
moodie said: Limechan said: japan actually liked it I wonder if Japan felt the same way we do about DxD BorN and if that will greatly affect the Bluray sales, which is the factor that counts to decide if there should be a season 4 or not. Also, have they announced if there'll be any additional content in BorN's Bluray version? Like specials (season 1) or additional scenes (season 2). what mal thinks about anything anime related means nothing at all Um actually japan clearly didn't like s3 the sales were really poor then any other seasons. |
| 4/10 coming from a anime watcher only.One complain i've for this series as a whole is that it take itself way too seriously like way too much and terrible VA for asia isn't helping either.Ecchi scene are always great though... |
| *sigh* as a real DxD lover (don't read the novels though) it's hard for me to say this, but this season was worse than the other ones. It started off with the usual, but the last 3-4 episodes were just so unlike DxD... no good fanservice anymore, people getting abducted left and right and then everyone transforms into a red dragon emperor. First time I can't give DxD a 10/10 :/ |

It is episode 13 of BorN and is by far the best episode of BorN. |

But Juggernaut Drive except for the way it was disabled was canon. |

I hope they will return to canon in season 4 and manage to revert that change somehow :3 |

The first half of episode 9 is more or less how it goes in the books, minus Asia disappearing after praying (she disappears while running back to Issei) and Issei's Juggernaut Drive acting more dragon like and growing extra limbs and blades through the jewels. |

| So, what was the deal with Issei and Rias memory loss after the beach scene? Did they lose their memory or were just pretending? Maybe it's because I didn't read the LN's but I didn't find it that bad. Does it feel rushed and have some issues in explaining things? Yes. However, I didn't find the original anime stuff too offensive and otherwise it's the same DxD I've come to expect. 6/10. |

The memory is gone so thank fuck since that would destroy the meaning of a scene later in the story. |
