High School DXD was one of the first anime series I've ever watched since the beginning when I was 14. Back when I was a prepubescent teen, I watched the show for the oppais. However the story really grew on me. Now like many people I really liked the old art style of animation. When the newest season came out in 2018 I never watched it because of the new studio change. Now here I am 8 years later regretting that decision. The new studio change was actually a great thing. The animation, pacing, and even the story being canon is PEAK (Although I haven't read the LN's quite yet [bought them though]). I'm only writing this in hopes the studio will come out with season 5 soon. If someones reading this and deciding to watch this show or not, well I mean this is season 4, if you made it this far…

After watching High School DxD Hero, I can’t help but feel excited and satisfied. Finally, Rias and Issei are getting closer, and the moment they shared their confession of love and kissed was a highlight for me. It’s a step forward in their relationship, and I’m really hoping that there’s another season to continue their story.
Looking at seasons 3 and 4 overall, I’m really happy with how they turned out. There were so many exciting battles that kept me on the edge of my seat, and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. These seasons have a lot more substance and depth compared to the earlier ones.
Now, I can’t say the same for seasons 1 and 2. In those, there was a lot of perversion surrounding Issei, and the focus was more on awkward and childish moments than actual plot develo…

[You're required to have seen the previous four seasons, make sure to watch those first before progressing]
After the original season finale by Studio TNK many fans despaired whether or not we would get a season four, but several years later a brand new studio by the name of Passione came to the rescue or did they?
Highschool DxD Hero picks up from the third season DxD Born, Episode 09 and decided to follow the Light Novel more seriously, the adaptation being more faithful.
Although not their fault, the animation crisp and vibrant colors that should have been a plus are less gothic and dark as the previous seasons leaving you feeling a little awkward since the vibrant colors rob the series of the rather dark atmosphere it had built itself around since season one.
that is not to say the…

Two important quotes to open this review with
'It's red. Red just like the color of her hair. It's red. Her hair is more crimson than strawberry blonde, the same color coating my hands...' & 'You will... devote your life to me!'
These two quotes are very important as they mark the beginning of the series and set the stage for the relationship between the main character and the girl he admires, the same girl who eventually saves him from death and revives him as a demon to serve under her.
The two quotes have stuck with me ever since I first heard them, and all I can say is that they truly hold meaning by the end of season 4. I hope everyone who will watch the anime will pay attention to them.
The main character is initially portrayed as a perverted high schooler who only cares about bo…

This anime might not be the best ever, but man, that ending hit me like a ton of bricks. I was crying my eyes out—seriously, it got to me. So yeah, I totally recommend it!
The new art style might take some getting used to at first, but once you do, you'll see they did an awesome job, especially with the character development. The characters really come to life, and you start to care about them more than you might expect.
And even though there's a lot of ecchi stuff going on, if you’re into the emotional side of the story, this series will totally win you over. It’s got a lot of heart, and if you like stories that dig into feelings and relationships, you’ll probably love it. So yeah, definitely give it a shot!

at first, the change in art style was extremely hard to get used to. i'm ngl, i almost stopped watching entirely because i felt the whole DxD series was now ruined.
I was wrong.
both the original and new art styles have their charms. you would be extremely stupid to drop one of the best ecchi series in all of anime for something as trivial as art style. ok, well, if the art style was god awful then I understand, but DxD hero's art is NOWHERE near terrible-it's just a change. changes just take time to get used to. if you need reassurance, by the 3rd or 4th episode, I already forgot that the art style changed lol. if you enjoyed the previous seasons you'll enjoy this season too; don't let the art style convince you otherwise.
lets talk about plot. just kidding, obviously, you didn't com…

I have reviewed and consecutively watched all three previous seasons so in this review I'm operating that you've also seen them and have read those previous reviews, otherwise this isn't going to make a ton of sense.
The first immediate standout change this time around is the new studio and new animation style. It doesn't look wildly different, but you can tell it isn't the same. Changing studios, especially after many years, is simply an inevitability in this industry and ultimately you just have to ask yourself 1. Does it look SIMILAR, even if not identical? and 2. Does it look GOOD, even if I like the other way better? and in this case the answer is yes to both. In fact, I may even prefer the new look to the previous! It doesn't hurt that all the ladies are even bustier than before thi…

Wow my first proper ecchi show complete.
I was honestly going to give this season the lowest rating out of all of them but just couldnt after that last arc .I absolutely loved everything about it, even though it was nothing special, I belive the Team behind this show almost couldn't have executed the ending in a more satisfiying way.
So yes starting to watch this (for now) last season you might be ticked off by the change of the Artstyle and the little more series nature of this season compared to the previous ones but trust me when I tell you that the last episodes make for such an unbelivable exciting watch it's worth putting up with the things that might be annoying to you.
Considering I went through all 4 Seadons, OVA's and Specials within 3 days I can't not recommend you watch this…

I was pretty hyped when it was announced that it'll be getting another season.
But, after seeing it. It was a complete DISASTER! The art style was okay, it's the quality is one of my issues. The storyline was HORRIBLE! The characters are SHIT, and the villains are TERRIBLE! JUST TERRIBLE! Hell, even the writing was also TERRIBLE!
The story was just AWFUL! The characters are treated like SHIT! The only thing that made this anime so bad and made it more terrible is not just the characters. It's that Issei Hyoudou! Fuck me, he became more worst and he's a complete ignorant prick and an inbred idiot, show-off, disgusting person, a virus to women and a danger to children!
High School DxD: Hero was a complete waste of time! This anime is the WORST season of 2018, WORST anime of all time and a…

This is my lowest rated of the four seasons. I can't say that it wasn't good, but it was certainly weaker than the first three. The battle scenes were still absolutely amazing and I give massive credit to the producers for that. The effort was put into each season to make sure that that was consistent and I am so thankful that they made sure that was the highlight of everything.
The house of Gremory is too full. There's harem and then there is completely unnecessary and over the top expression. I mean, I know that they want to highlight boobs. They already had enough by the middle of season 3. It is a total detractor at this point. Even though they don't show as often in this season, what does show is absolutely ridiculous.
I would still suggest seeing it, especially if you've seen the f…

tl;dr: A new DxD season that’s a pretty major shift from the previous seasons for better or worse, but is still overall really solid.
High School DxD Hero is the fourth season of High School DxD, though there are some pretty dramatic changes this time around. Unlike the first three seasons that were done by TNK, this season is by Passione. The reason for this is presumably that TNK took too many liberties with their adaptation to the point it became kind of hard to follow the source material, which ended up pissing off the original author. Thus, this season is by a new studio who were instructed to follow the new source material more closely.
As such, the first major difference is in terms of story telling. What is essentially the zeroth episode of this season actually picks up the story…

Straight out of the bat, coming from watching the first three seasons of the anime series I was left very concerned over the art style. Sure it may not be for everyone but this is a hit or miss- it does resemble the light novel much more than what TNK has done and looks more modern in general, but the inconsistency in the character design is very apparent- feels a bit rushed. Sometimes the faces on Akeno or Rias look weird and chibi-like, and Kiba does not look like Kiba at all. I'm probably being a bit too harsh but its just my opinion. Now on the good side of things, the story and character development is amazing and consistent throughout the series. The fight scenes are epic and enjoyable to watch. And many questions I was gonna ask are answered in this season. Soundtrack is good and th…

Although the series were pickup by a different studios the series were well animated.
They restart the story from last season on episode 0 to follow the plot according to the LN adaptation, which is great.
The battle scenes are great and well animated, the powers are flashy and oppai always become the main factor for MC power up. Of course though there is some arc that were skipped, but in my opinion this is fine because the series turn out well overall.
For me the great thing about the series is that the opponent that MC have to fight doesn't always have to be a villain that try to take over the world kind of shit. They kinda in the rival position for MC so it's pretty lightweight to watch. For this season the main enemy is Cao Cao and Sairaorg, both fell in the rival position where th…

Warning: this is a review of the entire series not just season 4.
As it's a bit obvious Highschool Dxd is an ecchi so it's not for people who are sensitive to sexual content, as I'm a person who deals with fanservice as just a Japanese animation tradition I didn't have any problem with the experience.
I started watching DXD (I'll summarize the name like this) at a stage where no anime was satisfying, I started with no expectations because the anime was a joke in the anime fandom.
I was quite positively surprised by the facts that I will talk about below.
8/10 story:
The story is a strong point, I really like the expectation that the anime gives us of seeing the protagonist become the strongest demon and all the problems and adversities that come along make everything even more exciting.…

This show certainly isn't for everyone. I couldn't recommend it to anyone other than young men, who will most likely atleast enjoy the constant nudity. But that shouldn't put everyone off. The series starts off seeming peverted, but as it progresses it starts getting soppy, cutesy, and romantic. AND SO WHAT? It's a boy's show, meant fro boys at that kind of age where hot girls and breasts are all that matters, and in that area, IT WORKS! i guess? There really isn't much to expect from a show like this. It's got the one thing someone may possibly want and need. ANIME TITTIES. AND THERE'S ALOT OF THEM HERE. The main point of criticism I have is in the writing. Some of the dialogue, well, its pretty embarassing, but on the whole it's fine. And I couldnt help feeling that the plots could be be…

They somehow managed to upgrade animation, yet make all the faces look like some weird walt disney knock-offs, but worse even, is what they've done to the boobs! They were all evenly balanced, there was a scale for every preference, but nooooo, they had to size everything up times 10...
Also, Rias' mother is seen wearing a crucifix in episode 7 which apparently skipped their attention because I think the new animation team hasn't actually seen any of the prior seasons nor read any of the mangas, because it's supposed to harm her severely since she's a demon, yet it doesn't.. AAND THE BOOBS!
A 2 for the effort at best, and perhaps the ost

So it was a good while until we got DxD Hero, It had been three years and we had been waiting a good while.
So Issei saved Rias and now everyone was on their way to a trip in Kyoto except Rias, Akeno, Gaspar and Koneko. You'd think they'd have a blast, school trip, onsen fun. Trials of courage and all that? Hah, well hello there Red Dragon Emperor or do you mean 'Grabbin Dragon'?
Issei gets into more **** and eventually falls out with Rias. Because Issei just can't seem to bring himself to call her by her name and keeps calling her President. Baka!

I've watched the show and I've found that the story line is interesting enough to keep me watching. The only issue that I've had so far watching is the MC. When it comes to perverts in anime some of them are quite enjoyable to watch on screen and a few come to mind Jiraiya, Kakashi, Sanji, Brook, Meliodas, Kon, Loke. But watching Issei doesn't give me that perverted anime MC vibe on the other hand it gives me that potential sexual harraser and really scum vibe from him like other characters such as Mineta and Hisoka (even though hisoka is in terms of strength a badass character). Aside from that I feel as though the show has a whole lot of potential and a lot more to give before its over

As a person who's only ever watched less than 20 animes. ( Mainly cause many animes not my cup of tea. ) But High School DxD definitely had me pumped and excited for each following episode.
The genre for High School DxD is so very interesting for me, it definitely has a lot of sexual non-pg scenes. But that's what makes the anime so satisfying to watch as an audient. It is a mix and match of Action, Comedy, Love stories, and Sexy stuff. Which I personally think matches very well together.
The characters are mostly very well developed. There isn't anyone that's not thoroughly explained. Rias, Akeno, and Issei are very well-developed characters with rich characteristics you can't find anywhere else.
Overall an awesome anime with blazing hot characters. That will satisfy you as a watcher.…

Highschool Dxd is something i watch to turn off my brain, watch the comedy, watch the fights, and of course to see the 10 thousand pairs of hadonkobonkers on my screen. The show isnt very phenomenal ill give you that, the story isnt very deep but does give some good world building elements. The comedy is great as its about 80% sex/pervert jokes.
Overall id give it a 7.5. Not the best but at the very least enjoyable to get me to watch all 4 seasons and now i feel ready and somewhat excited for the fifth.
Though it doesnt pertain to the show itself my biggest gripe was the inability to find an uncensored version of the season on free sites without having to pay for a premium service. But thats a problem for the free sites and lucky enough for me i was able to find a free uncensored versio…
