Review of High School DxD

So recently I've been told my reviews are biased and unfair, so I'm going to try to write this with the least bias and unfairness I have. Highschool DxD is a special show. It's a show constantly praised for it's ability to, how the fans call it, "mixing 'plot' and 'plot.'" Which is basically saying that this show didn't do what every other ecchi show did with shoehorning plot into ecchi, but instead shoehorned ecchi into plot. It's not like this doesn't work, in fact it works very well. The plot is strange at first, but the viewer will quickly get used to it. Myproblem is with the ecchi. It just feels like what I said just before. It's justt shoehorned in ecchi. This show will throw around ecchi like no tomorrow. In one scene, you'll see Rias undressing for the shower, then you'll see someone undressing to seduce Issei, then it's back to Rias coming out of the shower naked. But then there's an intense battle, but the clothing is from Senran Kagura, and it tears off like tissue paper. (I actually really like Senran Kagura for obvious reasons) So the battle is no longer a tense battle with real dangers, but I just see a battle with some tits flying around. Riveting. Some people might argue that if the ecchi is good, then it shouldn't matter. Right? Well, the ecchi is pretty meh. It's not that it's bad, and I'm sure it got better as the show gained more popularity and pumped out higher quality seasons, but that's not the season I'm here to review. The ecchi is average. It doesn't wow me with it's immense detail, it just is ecchi. I'm not saying it's terrible, it just got stale with every scene featuring at least one tit. This part is going to be biased, so you can skip to the next marked part if you don't want to read it. --- It also doesn't help when the girls all look like toothpicks with balloon tits. It doesn't look too appealing at all. I know people like slim girls with large features, but they actually look like toothpicks with balloon tits. --- (back to regular review) The ecchi isn't the most praised part of this show, unlike most other ecchis. This show does something most ecchi shows don't, and it should be applauded. It was able to write a good plot with the ecchi. The plot works. It functions. It does the unthinkable. It makes the plot good in an ecchi tagged show. I actually enjoyed the plot, I thought it was interesting. Even better, it matched good characters with this plot. They didn't go very far with them, and I can't blame them it's first season, but they were good nonetheless. Then the plot is matched with some decently good music, and I can't help but enjoy even if slightly. That's the end of my praise with this show, thought. Although, it had these good things, it wasn't my cup of tea. I have an even better metaphor for it. It's a cake with shitty icing on it, and the cake flavor isn't my favorite. Like, carrot cake with lemon icing. I'm sure some people taste it was chocolate cake with strawberries on top, but I just don't like it. I don't hate this show, I simply don't like it. But even if I don't like it, I'm not the god of anime by a long shot. If you like ecchi, watch this show immediately. And if you have already, make sure to watch the other seasons. This show has plenty of promise, and I'm sure fans of this type of show would eat this up like a delicious cake. I'll end this with a solid 5, low 6. It's good, but I'm positive it'll get only better from here.
