"My name is Issei Hyoudou and Rias Gremory's virginity is mine!"

Issei Hyoudou

High School DxD is an anime series based on the Light Novel of the same name. It's praised for being innovative in the Harem genre and using an outstanding balance of Ecchi and story. The first 3 seasons were produced by studio TNK, while season 4 was produced by studio Passione.

Why It Rocks

  1. Good voice acting in both sub and dub and the dub makes a lot more humorous jokes and references to pop culture. 
  2. Excellent animation, visuals, art, and character designs.    
  3. It has a great cast of characters, especially Rias, many of whom are likable.
    • Issei. Even though he's a pervert, he still will fight for his friends and others, protect his family, friends, and the innocent, stop the corruption of many of the antagonists who even do worse perverted things than him, and fulfill his goal.
    • Rias is very caring as she will stop anyone who harms the innocent and her friends, rescues many from danger, and calms Issei down from going too hormonal.
    • Akeno will threaten the villains with sadism to manipulate them and prevent them from attacking innocent people and her friends; she wants to be accepted and be different from other fallen angels, protect Issei from danger, and increase her reputation.
  4. Unlike most Harem anime, the female characters have clearly defined reasons why they love the protagonist.
  5. Awesome fight scenes that parody most Battle Shounen fights, and it even parodies many tournament arcs.
  6. Great soundtrack that gives at times such as when something emotional happens. European Violin-like music will play.  
  7. Well-done plot and story that has the protagonists meeting other supernatural entities to help them, fighting in battles to protect others, and increasing their reputation.  
  8. It has a good message saying: "Even if you are that creature, you can still do good things and help and protect others".
  9. Balances serious themes with humorous and sexy moments well, unlike most harem and ecchi anime.
  10. It parodies Battle Shounen and tournament arc elements and clichés in a very raunchy and humorous way.

Bad Qualities

  1. The fourth season, while an improvement is made by a different Studio (Studio Passione instead of the previous TNK), brings the animation details to a different level. Character details are reduced, and overall, the anime looks subpar from any common Ecchi Anime outside. However, the new style makes the anime closer to its light novel style art.
  2. Some characters can be annoying.
    • Miltan, a fanboy dressing up as a magical girl, does things whenever Issei appears at his house and sleeps in Issei's bed out of embarrassment.
    • Riser Phoenix (from the presence of being voiced by Takehito Koyasu, who did the voice work for Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) used to be a jerk to Issei when he tried to marry Rias.
    • While Issei Hyoudou has some likable traits, many viewers still find his overly perverted nature obnoxious and unlikable, undercutting his few likable traits.      
  3. Some villains, including Diodora, Freed Sellzen, Father Valper Galliei, the Fallen Angels, Raynare, and Kokabiel, can be mediocre.

Trivia

  • The series was banned in New Zealand due to supposedly "sexualizing minors".
