Technically I am not a fan of this new art and the old art had more character detail and it looked up to date than this season. I am not sure but heard it was a new studio that was taking over and what happened to the old studio since they were better regarding to visual.

It's more in line with the LN art

huh, now that you point it out it looks they're going to bring the LN art-style into motion seeing this makes me eager to see it and eases some anxiousness. while i did like the old style for the anime and thought it fit it's arcs very well if this moves into the tournament arc a brighter style would fit a lot better. In rewatching the show after years the animation of previous series were tbh lazy and cut a lot of corners using moving backgrounds and paning cameras to substitute real movement if this series can improve on that who cares about the art style.

As long as Issei vs Saiarog is good everything else doesn't matter to me.

For me style and coloring is closer to LN/manga drawings so it's ok. Only thing I'm worried about is animation. Issei vs Sairog looks good but bed scene with girls where Rias is running and jupming looks somehow bad.

Actually I can't say much, but I prefer a old style.
Anyway, I'm happy cuz of new season, I waited for 3 years :S Like new studio, new style. :3 Just Hope I will see the gods and that black dragon.
But as I know what happened in season 3 - it has nothing to do with novels :/ thats sad

I've seen the new trailer and I could say the choreography in the fight scenes is better than the old one. Might just be me but the animation looks better too, more fluid.

If Uno do what he did on Seikon no Qwaser.. I will consider the new art style..

But from the teaser.. it really looks like Rail Wars!..

Completely agree with you man waited so long for a new season only for some random studio is get a hold of it and to ruin the artstyle completely and maybe even the story.

Normies. They don't know what "pleasure" is. Anime is already in progress, complaining here ain't gonna do a shit. Fuck everyone, I'm waiting for my "ara ara" and "uhuhu" girl, as long as she is there, I'm more than satisfied !!

I'm on the fence.....On one hand I think it looks clean af and flows pretty well animation wise but on the other hand, they look more moe instead of ero which is a bit disappointing

But it's damn near impossible for me to not be attracted to these girls so I don't mind the change lol

I'm actually way more worried about how they will handle the story and the ecchi scene since it's a new studio.
I don't mind the new art style as long as they don't fuck up the adaptation.

Looks closer to the LN and the fight looked better than anything TNK has shitted out since season 1, so it's cool with me. This season is gonna have intense fights so I knew TNK was out, especially after how the director got into a fight with the author.

New character designs looks more in tune with the original LN art and they also look smoother when it comes to being animated, so that is a plus for me, if they stay consistent when being animated.

Ishibumi wanted to try and work out a way to make the season a bit longer than usual, to fit in volumes 5-7, but the director got overconfident and went to change the content and combine the three volumes into the monstrosity known as BorN. He went against both a producer and Ishibumi to do so, then refused to change anything, and then had the nerve to tell Ishibumi that he was gonna script the episodes with that new content. That's why High School DxD EX was made and bundled with the BDs, to retcon the season as alternate timeline bullshit. Ishibumi had enough when the season ended, apologized to fans and got Kadokawa involved, and most likely they decided to let go of TNK and the whole old staff, and thus here we are now.

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).

This new art style should allow for more fluid animation(I hope). The old art style looked stiff imo.
