Reviews

This two episode OVA consists of side stories that take place after the events of the first DxD season. The first episode centers around a mysterious tree that generates breast-shaped fruit that grants the (hopefully) female eater immediate, voluptuous proportions. The second episode follows Asia and Issei's training as they shadow the other peerage members' contract missions. The OVA doesn't contribute much in terms of advancing the core plot line; instead it focuses on delivering maximal fan service per second. Expect a lot of topless nudity, a lot of Issei's fantasies, and a lot of girls being suspended in midair in suggestive positions. If this is your thing, dig in. And assuming you've made it through the main show, you'll probably find this a fun distraction.

Animation:
The animation quality is on par with the main show. You'll still get nice coloring and good character styling, with a topless touch. Expect a fair dosage of magic-based action and an overdose of ecchi.

Sound:
All the sound elements are recycled from the main show including the OP, ED, and BGMs. All the original VAs return as well so you can expect a very good performance in that aspect.

Story:
I've pretty much covered what to expect in the intro. This OVA doesn't answer any lingering questions from the first season but luckily doesn't introduce any additional confusion. It's pretty much additional filler material with an emphasis on ecchi.

Character:
While there isn't any tangible development, you still get the strong personalities from the main show. The only possible development is an increase in Issei's ecchi appetite, though it only adds to the comical nature of his character.

Value:
For fans of the original DxD anime only. The material here makes no sense without the background in the main series and those who can't tolerate the ecchi in the main show definitely won't do any better here. A fair watch to burn out an extra hour.
