Review of High School DxD
Despite this being H heavy, it was an enjoyable anime to watch. Hopefully I'll have as much fun when I write this. (Spoilers included) The comedic elements are different from your normal anime, the characters are a bit cliche but they managed to pull it off. Fair play to them. The plot is similar to a manga I'm currently reading(well the idea anyway) but it's simple, yet effective. The nude scenes are relatively well drawn (I'm not a perv. I guarantee.) But what stands out the most to me are the characters' logic. Issiei's Logic : That B*$tered made senpaicry, I MUST KILL HIM!!!
Rias' Logic : To not marry the man of NOT my dreams, I'll sleep with one of my club members. (Yes because ALL good ideas start with sleeping with other people) With my disadvantaged chess team, I'll take part in a ludicrous rating game against a full set just so I don't have to marry him. That's IF I win of course.
Koneko's Logic : There are 3 perverts inside a locker, I think I'll punch the locker door to scare them.
Ashia's Logic : My only friend is a boy and I REALLY like him, so I'll do nothing to get his attention except wear clothes for him to strip off of me. Also, I was part of the church but now, I'm a demon, so I'll pray and repent when I do sinful things. (Despite these, she is the only one that's kind of normal)
Kiba's Logic: There's a hot knight in the opposing team. I'll fight her because I love my sword.
Akeno's Logic: Well, she's a sadist so no need to explain.
Although there are memorable action moments to pointless romantic scenes, this is a pretty good show. I love the relationships among the club members and how the plots makes so little sense. It's a good show to watch for mindless (I mean like no need to analyse)comedy, for inspiration how wild one can go in writing a story.
The only thing about this show is that it comes with a catch, Heavy H. I'm not that into it (WOW, a guy that doesn't like H. Is he even straight? (Yes I am)). There's so many pointless H scenes with spoiled the greatness of this show. Is Rias's oversized breast REALLY important in the show? Is the fact that Ashia is not happy with her normal sized ones relevant? Do we really need to see that Issei is a pervert and thinks about really lewd girl on girl porn when he sees Akeno stretchs with Ashia?
The other thing is the religion involved. I'm not too content with the whole idea of God vs Bad angels vs Demons. It's not right. I'm very sensitive with religion so that made me dislike this show.
Overall, ignoring the H and the religion, it's a pretty emotional show of a guy, taking care of all his women. (The occult research club is a pretty interesting name for a club)
Thank you for reading this (Not so well written) review.
