High School DXD BORN
STORY - this story was focusing Akeno and Koneko facing with two foes like Akeno think father is psychopath kill her mother and Koneko didn't like her big sister at all which is Kuroka. the Third Season was completely 3/10 with poor writing I kind of feel sorry about Diodora who he antagonist who fall in love with Asia and literally Issei ruining it for good evn he love with Ria why the heck would he love with Asia that he already has Ria and now Diodora who look so handsome he look better than issei with his kind personality and why would he get killed that way this poorly written story went out of control they ruining Diodora this is not fair.
ART - 10/10 same as first and second one.
SOUND- opening just fine but bad perspective endings 6/10
CHARACTER- only charac…

It's not funny.
BorN suffers from the grave offense of what I call "miscalculated escalation," which unfortunately is just as big a problem in TV as haphazard genre-shifting. In tl;dr fashion, it's the cinematic equivalent of premature ejaculation. Here, it's the rapid ramping up of Issei's power in a way that completely obliterates the ceiling of believability (relative to the fact this is an anime about fat cartoon tiddies).
First Issei is just a guy who loves boobies; then, he has a sweet arm that can do magic and stuff; that turns into a time-limited set of armor, along the way adopting the power to blast off women's clothes; from there he evolves into a super mega ultra giga turbo overblast nukatron armageddon apocalyptic colossus red dragon of supreme ass kicking that can utterly (…

This anime... Let's not fool outselves is a lot of boobs and ass, but even tho that it has a good story while it also provides interesting characters.
Some are simple but i believe it's because they haven't been given the chance to prove themselves yet and the more complex ones are still not completed...
When i first saw the first series in here and read the synopsis i thought it was kinda stupid, but since the first episode i got into this anime not just because of the echii but because it is damn funny to watch.
It is fun to watch all the problems caused by Issei or when everyone is in trouble he does what he can to resolve it, without ever forgetting about his dream, to make a harem and become a high level demon so he can stand on equal grounds with his master Rias which is more or less…

Normally it takes a lot for me to do a review, But in spite of all the trolls here at MAL that don't read Manga, Light Novels and thus know nothing about adaptations. I'll go as far to say that many reviews that are low scored here were written without watching the anime and with the sole purpose to drag down shows they don't like as many of them seem to be have been written with their feet.
STORY:
DxD continues with the now third season of Born were the Light Novel is closely followed into the settlement that comes after the three factions Angels, Fallens and Demons are trying to set up camp and discuss further matter of the New Faction that seeks to destroy relations between the humans and the joined supernatural.
Some chapters were switched as many Light Novel readers are aware of and…

You don't watch Michael Bay's "Transformers" expecting an Oscar-worthy movie, likewise you shouldn't watch an anime like this expecting the next FLCL, SAO, or even Naruto.
Now, if you keep the content in mind, the fact that this is an ecchi harem comedy-drama, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by the fact that there's an actual decent overall story, good characterizations, and excellent art.
The characters, naturally, follow the typical archetypes, but they grow from there and develop back stories that make you really care about most of them. The art, while it may be considered a cookie-cutter style, is an excellent sample of that style nonetheless. And there's just the right mix of ecchi and story to satisfy those seeking both quite well.
This particular season does progress a lit…

I can't name myself a great fan of this franchise, but I've got opinion about it.
What words are on your mind when you read "High School DxD"? Surely they are "bobs", "harem", "eсchi" etc. Indeed, this title is full of such things. But this is on the one hand. On the other hand, we see rather beautiful title with interesting plot and developed universe.
We are used to think that ecchi is all about stamps, but this title brings something new to ecchi genre and that's why I like it.
Surely, pantsu, boobs and nose bleeding are everywhere (what ecchi will exist without it?) but we still have the characters. Yes, they're typical women from the typical harem, but there stories are not confused. Each of them has individuality (even men). Each of them likes main character for their own reason,…

Honestly, even after watching all seasons up to this one it still owns the crown for best ecchi anime.
- It has PLOT (Yes, PLOT)
- It has great humor, I laugh out loud at the jokes
- Lots of ecchi that doesn't feel misplaced or silly
- It has its touching moments that bring tears to my eyes
- The male protagonist is actually MANLY. You know the typical males in ecchi anime are usually weak, never execute, and act like they are allergic to women that approach them sexually. That doesn't exist here.
If the reasons outlined above don't already have you wanting to watch this, there is zero hope for you to ever get into the ecchi genre. Truly.
Oh and as a small tip, if you have the option available to you, do yourself a favor and watch the uncensored version of this anime. I never saw the ce…

I am probably going to get hate for this, but I watched the dubbed version of this series. It was a very good series. It has a good mixture of comedy and action. The main character's lust for boobs is what gives him all his power. Issei reaches a powerful form just because he poked his master's breasts. Plus, Koneko has some funny one liners in the show. The amount of breasts shown in this series is outrageous. In one episode I counted 35 pairs of breasts in one episode. Issei is usually put into awkward situations when breasts are out because the other girls attack him. It usually ends up with him getting interrupted and leaving a laugh. For example, he gets attacked by girls while he is putting something in a shed. It ends up with him getting caught by an angel while he has his hands on…

(This has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Jugs, bazoongas, melons; no matter what they are called, breasts are a universal constant. Boobs bear the “nectar of life,” cause men and women alike to turn heads, and are something that everyone can get behind. High School DxD BorN, returning for a third season, believes the same, providing busts of the large, small, round, supple, and bodacious variety. Mammaries are a wonderful part of the world, and it is lovely to see them in anime or anywhere, but the question remains: for this one, is it enough? Can its smorgasbord of boobies keep itself afloat from start to finish? Sadly, no, the anime sinks where its brethren swam.

I've got an idea why the hell this is getting flamed. It's because some people can't see past the ecchi. They think it's all DxD's got, but it's not.
This season has got much less ecchi than before.
Characters are advancing, and so is the plot.
Sure it has some generic anime cliches, but hell, Nisekoi is based around cliches, and it's still rated fairly well.
It's a very enjoyable anime that anyone with a bit of a tolerance for ecchi can watch. If you are weak to that kind of thing, give it a shot, if you don't like it, skip it. That's my rule when watching anime. Enjoy it, so you don't have to bloody flame the show.
I enjoyed it for it's light-heartedness and actually pretty decent relationships between characters. It's a funny show as well, so it has it's pluses.

I don't care what you say; This anime is AWESOME!
Judge me if you want but I don't care.
The story line for this season was interesting. Unlike the first season which didn't show much of a plot, the series just got better and better.
The art for the fights and the character development was amazing!
Although Issei was the usually boob maniac; he still had his moments (a lot of cool moments). If you like good story plot then please; watch this series!
(Just gonna warn you that it is still in the Hentai genre; not full on 18+ but the show mainly shows a lot of boobs, but ignoring all of that story wise the show is perfect!)

My first REVIEW!!!
Short And Sweet(Mature Readers Only, though I'm not 17 myself)
Everyone reading this review must know about 'Highschool Dxd'. Very Popular-Ecchi-Romance-Supernatural-Action-Highschool Anime.
Now,
Talking about the review
Story-6(BAD{based on my opinion though})
Highschool Dxd has a regular ecchi-romance-highschool anime type stroy which most of the people like. It has a mix of normal life expanding to living with a bunch of beautiful girl and sleeping with them. It has the main plot of a boy being a devil who wants to become a harem king(though he has a harem already) and has the power of the 'Red Dragon Emperor'. And well, that concludes it!
Art-9
Despite the stroy, the series has a fantastic art/graphic quality. The art is stunning whether it comes to detailing boobs…

I'm sure of it there will be a SEASON 4 & ovas /specials !!!!!! Bonus if made into a anime movie or a live action movie.
Season 4 is already probably in many HS DXD fans minds like me since episode 8 or 9 or better episode 1.
Looking foward to SEASON 4
Many unanswered questions and revelations...... So season 4 is a must must happen no matter what.......
1. We all know now DXD means Dragons Of Dragons. That answered part of it. 2. Brewing romance of casts
- Gasper & Koneko (coming of age sort of well his age is thousand years same goes with Koneko)..... who's older you decide, bottomline, they are a match.
- Yuuto & Tsubaki, hottest guy in school and the other hottest girl (outside Rias herself & Akeno).
- Souua & Saji (same like Issei & Rias)
- Xenovia & Asia, lesbian anyone....
- Pos…

My High School DxD BorN review.
Story
Ok, so the 3rd sequel has just ended , frankly it's unfortunate that studio Genco and FUNimation didn't thought about making this sequel a 2nd season. tbh the 2nd sequel is bonkers, but I gotta say they did add some development with the 3rd sequel. However despite the developments I'm not gonna give the story category a high score, since it still rely on the MAc's sexual innuendo, also, the action plot may have become intense it still rely a lot from the MC getting his ass whooped when saving his harem.
So my verdict: a fair 6. Art
Like the previous sequel, the anime still rely on the fanservice to sell and there is no explanation need , since sex sells in this anime and manga.
Therefore, my verdict: a Mediocre 5.

First off I want to say that I have never read any of the novel so this is an anime only review.
High School DxD is one of those anime that I really want to love. When done correctly it can be funny, exciting and very very echii. I have all previous seasons and always end up rather disappointed. This new season though started out great but then suddenly went off the rails.
STORY: I've personally found the story in every season to be all over the place. This season started out different though. I really enjoyed the first half as it had moments of big crazy fights, shocking twists and some character development for several of the cast. I can't go into details but I can honestly say the first half of this season is really a joy to watch. If you come for just the echii moments, they are ther…

~ Just poke her breast already! - Dragon ~
[Pure Review: Anime Only]
Prelude:
The prior seasons have been a "big hit" to say the least; drawing viewers from both the fantasy, and ecchi realms. "Dragon of Dragon" has always been a franchise in my eyes with more storytelling and character development talent than the marketing lets off. Do I even have to quote FUNimation's introduction to "New"? ("more outrageous Oppai Battle Entertainment"). The series has always retained a curious mixture of action, intensity, suspense, realism, and of course: Oppai... It's a combination that in theory should drown out any seriousness, and while it's by no means a show to be taken deadly seriously; there are indeed some thrilling and suspenseful, passionately fought battles. Like a signature style for the…

High School DxD BorN certainly was a very poor adaptation for what all fans of the series, such as myself, were awaiting. It is certain there are some positive points in it:
The story as always were the most valuable point, although not very loyal to the light novel, the anime series have acchived my expectations, it was a very funny, still serious season, 10/10. The sound was very good, I think the music and battle scenes were well balanced, not an epic song for a normal scene or a poor song for an epic battle, 8/10. The series was quite enjoyable, but not what was expected, 8/10.
Although those aspects received a good mark, the reason I gave it such a bad one (from my point of view, this mark could be considered appaling for such a masterpiece as DxD) were the following:

Umm...let me be honest here. I started watching High School DxD series because of the things it was good at: adequately mixing its overt fan-service with little bit of plot and good comedy. For me, if an anime is completely made of fan-service, it is not usually worth investing one's time. However, High School DxD is different in that it cleverly uses fan-service, not as a gratuitous method to attract viewers, but as an integral part of the entire story, which fits seamlessly in the big flow of things. Also, the comedy involving fan-service is a giant plus in watching this show.
But this third season High School DxD BorN sadly decided to cut down its use of its forte: the harmonious blend of boobs+comedy+the general flow of things. Instead it decides to focus more on the complex affairs of…

I’m sure by now, High School DxD is a franchise that needs little introduction. There’s little reason that anyone should begin watching the third season without watching the previous series. That’s like reading a book backwards from the last chapter. The thing about the High School DxD franchise is that we have a perverted main character named Issei. Then, there’s a whole horde of harem characters ranging from lovely ouju-samas, a pure innocent blonde, a loli cat with the strength of Hercules, and even an Angel. The math is pretty simple to do. Issei wants to add all of them to his harem formula. However, unlike most harem series that ventures down a road of non-sense, High School DxD actually has a plot. As shocking as it may be, this harem show does actually have plot as the previous sea…
