High School DxD

summaries are also found at animesuki which has a pretty good synopsis as to what happens at each volume

/would be annoyed by this if he cared enough about spoilers for this show to react emotionally to them.

I really like this week's episode.

Me too. One of the greatest lines ever: "You're an angel, so fucking fly!" Cue awesome uppercut.

And our villains are all dead but Freed. Who is betting he is going to work for that guy with the spy bird.

Actually, from the light novel info I saw, I'm betting that guy is the dude with the 1000 harems who becomes Issei's mentor.

Actually, You can see the blond haired girl in the big harem at the end, so it seems those three survived.

can't spoil anything with you guys, can I...

and 'sides... how can a fallen-angel-hired exorcist even work with devils in the first place anyway when said exorcist loooooves to kill devils?

Episode 6: That was one of the weirdest love stories I've seen in my entire life. And it seems like all the contractors are an otaku of some sort. Which kinda makes sense now that I think about it.

So I guess Rias is going to go away, and Issei and co. will fight through the legions of Hell to get her back?

ED is still awesome, btw. It's just so cheerful.

ok that guy who wanted to become a magical girl was great.

YESS!! MIL-TAN GOT ANIMATED!!! Finally...

he was supposed to appear after the otaku guy back when Ise was just starting out his contractual work, but the anime changed it to introduce one of the three fallen-angels that were mentioned but never showed up in the light novels.

also, that samurai wasn't actually filler but actually Volume 8 and Volume 8 is full of side stories... guess it's cause the author thought that seeing as his work is getting animated, then he'd just make some side stories for filler material.

I have decided that four episodes of... this is more than enough for me. Dropped~ ♥

You know, I've always wondered, why do people feel the need to come into a show's thread and announce that they've dropped it?

Because they are looking for a reason to start a argument with people who like the show and piss them off or an excuse to keep watching, one of the two.... almost always the former.

eh... oh well..

Episode 7: Wow Issei has got to be the most pathetic lead in recent memory. Seriously. You lose a lot of respect from me when you lose in dodgeball and pick a clothes-melting slime over a freakin' lightning-shooting dragon just because you can't keep your hormones in check.

I'm pretty sure that's the joke.

He couldn't have gotten it anyway, it seems.

I am curious as to why you had respect for the character to begin with. Wasn't this series billed as playing with the whole "pervert on the outside, hero on the inside" aspect of a lot of these types of shows?

It's remarkably unfunny for a joke.

Well, yeah, but still.

He does show some good attributes, and I'm willing to tolerate a lot. He was just too much of an idiot this episode. As he was in the first one.

I'm going to disagree with that, because Shu isn't a character. On a more serious note, I actually find Shu better, if only because I'm apathetic towards Shu, while I dislike Issei. Though one could argue that at least Issei made me feel something at least.

He's still way better than Shu.

I'd like to respectfully disagree here; Issei is certainly horrible at times, but I was amused by that particular scene because of how gleefully over the top it was.

Shu better than Issei??? Remove the things you dislike about Issei and you'll still end up with a somewhat "serviceable" main character. Remove the things you dislike with Shu and you'll end up...with no main character and show at all, i.e. you'd end up with supporting characters that are marginally better but are greatly hampered in their development because of the main character AND how the show is written.

That is, if you remove what I dislike about Issei, except if you do that, he's not actually Issei anymore. Bottom line, I can't dislike Shu because he's just sort of there. Like a decorative potted plant.

kinda admire how Yuuki Kaji can switch between Shu and Issei...

one of these days, one of us needs to go on his twitter and ask which one of the two is the better character for him.
