Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/12 eps)
HXDXD is the 2012 animated adaption of the LN bearing the same name, which started in 2008. With the LN being a simple ecchi fantasy romcom you would expect TNK Studios to actually follow the chain of events and make a good first impression with what was obviously intended as a one-shot thing.

Instead they added a extra genre and basically ripped off Hellsing during the Fallen Angel Arc, with a smarter but more confusing MC and a revenge subplot straight from Brandon Lee's The Crow ( which was a waay better adaption and general movie than this overall). While it might not be noticeable amid the perversion and lewd moments (of which this thing posses in spades) Issei's constantly changing character is a mystery to watchers of real hardcore anime like Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Is he just a simple pervert with a good brain that he's too lazy to put to full use and a heart of gold behind all that uncouthness and horniness, or is there something more to him that only the writers of the screenplay know of, and constantly refer to even in the "lewd' moments? Nobody knows, not even the "ORC" that he belongs to (which is led by the daughter of one of the most powerful magical families yet. Calling them "d..ls" makes no sense at all as they have no real connection to the real things.)

Let's just hope that the other 9 episodes are better.
