High School Dxd: Complete Series Collection [Blu-ray]

Otaku John here to review High School DXD the Series. Okay, as a well-experienced connoisseur of anime, manga, and light novels, going back from the 70's to modern day, I have read and watched just about every series out there at one time or another. I can honestly say that for the genre it covers, this is a great anime. First and foremost this is a fan-service comedy. It's low-brow, and not intended to be taken seriously, or to compete with dramatic classics like Akira or Ghost In The Shell. This is just a zany, funny, slapstick show meant for people to sit down and watch to escape the harsh realities of a mundane over-serious world. That being said, this is definitely for adults. Lots of nudity, language and more adult situations than you can count. But that's the whole point, isn't it? Too bad the High School DxD Light Novels aren't available in the U.S. currently. Because the plotline and story is actually quite good. Animation is 5-star, characters are excellent, voice actors are top-notch, and you can't help but binge-watch it as soon as you put it on. Many people don't like this series, because they think it's too low-brow. But if you're a guy, and you're honest with yourself, you can't help but accept the fact that just about every guy goes thru a phase where they're a lot like the main character Issei Hyoudo,( in their own minds, if nothing else). If you like light-hearted comedy, and love to laugh, then get this. You won't be disappointed. Again, its made for adults, not kids. Think of it like an 80's R-Rated comedy film, akin to Porky's or Revenge of the Nerds. It's not a Francis Ford Coppola masterpiece of directing excellence, but it sure as heck is A-1 Entertaining. I also highly recommend getting the High School DxD light novels, if you ever get the chance. They're a great read. Also, don't forget, there's two more seasons of DxD available right now too, and another in the works in Japan currently.

High School DXD is, without a doubt, one of most popular anime right now and for good reasons! The storyline, humor, action, animation, music and dialogue is all blended together; which is guaranteed to satisfy any nerd. I have heard a lot of criticism about this anime, which I'm sure you've all heard as well. Honestly, I don't know what these critics were expecting. This anime is about sexy demons killing fallen angels in the battle between good and evil. This is what we called "Entertainment." If you were looking for something different, like "What's the meaning of life?;" then you definitely should stay away from this anime. Regardless, this anime is a must-buy for all fans of anime, especially if you like anime such as Sekirei, Queen's Blade and Sora No Otoshimono. The action is great, the humor is hilarious, the characters all have some development, and there are even some heart-felt moments where you're motivated to do the same as the characters. The music is AWESOME and the extras making the purchase well worth it. Funimation did a great job dubbing this series. Personally, I like the subbed version better, only because I feel like I can take it more seriously than listening to some cheesy dialogue. Still, it's worth watching at least once. Now, High School DXD New (Second season) was released in Japan in October 2013. Knowing this, we probably won't be seeing an American release until the beginning of 2015. However, I know it will be worth the wait. Please support by purchasing this Blu-Ray/DVD combo, it's well worth it! Thanks for reading!

- Synopsis: A war between Heaven and Hell takes place on Earth. The main character ends up getting killed and reviving as a devil. He's a simple-minded guy who just wants his own harem. Fortunately, he joins up with other devils that for the most part, treat him with open arms. Despite his perversion, our hero is a kind-hearted guy who cares deeply for those around him. From the moment he revives as a devil, his life changes for better or worst. This anime showcases Issei and his friends' struggle against other inhabitants of Heaven, Hell, and Earth. =========================================================================================================== - Analysis: This anime manages to make a relatively creepy but interesting concept fairly light-hearted and humorous. That is, devils, demons, and the like. While the common assumption that devils are evil is quite known, this anime shows that generalizations aren't always accurate. Even devils are capable of kindness. Furthermore, any faction is capable of good and evil, regardless of who they may be. History would serve as a good example of this. The main character Issei is also a very relatable guy. He's simple-minded and perverted. He isn't a tactician or strategist like some other characters may be. But like many fundamentally weak characters, he has a unyielding spirit to fight with everything he has and to never give up. A trait that may be respectable to some, while annoying to others. - Features: English and Japanese audio, as well as English subtitles. Includes 12 episodes on 2 Blu-rays and 12 on 2 DVDs with a run-time of about 5 hours. Rated TV-MA for violence, language, and sexual content. - Conclusion: Reminder that this anime is fan-service-heavy, uncensored, and will show plenty of boobs. Keep this in mind if fan-service isn't for you. However, it isn't just a simplistic anime, either. There's plenty of humor, perversion, and dark themes that are relevant to the physical world as we perceive it. =========================================================================================================== - Recommendations: Prison School, Binbougami ga!, Maken-Ki, The World God Only Knows, Kampfer, Shinmai Maou no Testament, Omamori Himari, Demon King Daimaou, Lord Marksman and Vanadis, Freezing, Cross Ange, and Aesthetica of a Rogue Hero.

dragon, demon, angel, fallen angel, chess, magic, familiar all put into a pot and cook, out come high school dxd. dxd is an anime a bout issei, a pervert highschool boy who goal in life is to find someone special to him, he found her, and after a date, she kill him......WORST DATE EVAR DAUG. he got revive and safe, but got turn into a devil by rias (red hair) and our fun begin from there. the best part about this show is the atmosphere and character, coming into this show, i didnt expect much knowing it from same ppl who make a certain anime about a guy who cheat on his gf. but i was profoundly please with how the show turn out, the show is pervert in nature, but issei is a really nice guy at heart, he just have trouble expressing it normally. the fan service in this show doesnt hold itself back at all, mammary gland are everywhere, and the only thing that u wont see are the female most private part...i think, actually i been checking for it every time i re watch the show in hope. yes, this show will make u want to rewatch it, cause it is casual friendly show (not family friendly thou) and althou it rewatch value is not high,2-5 time at best, it still a really good product. music are great, graphic are top not, the thing that dissapoint me is how the show could have been better. i read the light novel that this show is base on all of them so far 15 volume so far, and the first season covering up to vol 2. the fan service take away from issei character development, they should have try to keep the pervert part to one side when issei is at his seriousness, because he doesnt really care much about female body, when the ppl he care about are in danger. over all the show have my to watch recommendation, and when season two is license, watch that too, hopefully we get more season, cause the best are yet to come, if u think that final battle was good, wait til issei actually get his power, power by ero-turbo.

You know the story: boy meets girl, they go on date and she...murders him? That's the premise of High School DxD. I believe I started the first episode years ago, but I barely remembered it. I do realize now I completely misjudged it. Yes, there's quite a bit of fan service and perverted humor...but to me (at least) it's much more than that. To start off with: Jami Marci and Scott Freeman as Rias and Issai are both superb. While Rias is more level headed, mysterious and coy, Issai wears his heart and his feelings on his sleeve. The 1st season deals with him being accepted into the Occult Research Club which is actually a front for what really goes on. He learns about his power and learns to hone it..all under Rias's watchful eye and sometimes body...*ah hem* Anyways, the first season sets up everything nicely. There's some really emotional moments, esp. when he meets Asia and steps in to save Rias from an impending marriage. I was blown away at the contrast between the silly harem moments, the great battles and the lighter, heartfelt moments. It really kept me on the edge of my seat. Lastly, the music is stellar! I really love the opening track and the incidental music, especially this piece that sounds like a music box playing. Gotta say too Jad Saxton as Koneko is just perfection. I love her portrayal of snarky sarcastic characters. If you're looking for something awesome and epic and worthy of your time, I don't think you can go wrong with this. Happy viewing....❤️

I am sad to admit that I am a bit of a harem-anime fan. I enjoy the situations the authors come up with to test the characters and often it makes for a lot of fun. I also lean towards the ecchi forms of anime. I like and have been keeping up with Monster Musume by Okayado and also was a bit of a fan of Rosario+Vampire. So enough about me. The latter show got a bit tedious (mostly same format every show) and the former is ok but has changed a bit (gotten calmer I think.) DxD falls right in between them for me. The different monsters in MM make it fun, season 1 DxD really doesn't have near the spread of comedy that MM can have with it's additional species. The first couple of shows in DxD are old hat - pervert (normal red-blooded American), pretty and voluptuous girl, angelic-type beings. BUT after the introduction of Ashiya, things start to move personally and some interesting plot points come into play. In general, it plays out as you think it will, but there is some fun along the way. They focus a bit too much on Rias* and her WAY too big boobs, but I really like the character growth of Hyodo Issei; using your own strong points in balance with your weaknesses, not striving to get rid of them. As I've said on other shows, is it top rated AAA tv? Nope. Is it mostly fun and sometimes very interesting? Yes. I'm sure there are lots better shows, but I enjoyed this one and will be ordering other season(s) of it. If you like boobs, lingerie, male fantasies and a few surprises, I bet you will like this. This really is an introduction to the characters and settings, there's apparently lots more to come.

A short, but fun romp in this supernatural universe with devils and fallen angels dueling. The protagonist is a hormone-infused teenager with lots of fan service to keep him busy. However, it is often the mechanism for humor in the series. It made me laugh a few times. Surprisingly, the most balanced and best behaved character might be the main female devil! The music and animation are good and the characters look great. Plotline is a little weak and development of the devil world is uneven. Overall it is decent escapism and entertainment.

I'm a stickler for watching anime in the original language with subtitles. ESPECIALLY the comedies! American voice actors never seem to get timing correct and I think it looses too much in the translation. This is a rare exception.......... I've watched this both ways and I think the English cast did a GREAT JOB homing in on the funny for an American market. This, to me, is the definitive harem anime. It's characters are fully fleshed out and every type is perfectly represented. The protagonist is perfectly boastful yet clueless. I think it's perfectly conceived!! Then this perfect cast of characters is provided a pretty engaging story that allows for raucous raunchy comedy while keeping one toe in a serious story line that was enough to keep me engaged. I just think it was really well written and really well conceived. Kudos to the creative team for this one! I wish they could make a ton more of the same quality.

Son friend enjoyed for his 18th.

One of my favourite anime of all time. Don’t be fooled by the fan service, this show is not what it seems, it’s so much more, it’s amazing. It has a really great story, characters, fight scenes, music, and is absolutely hilarious. The English dubs are done really well too. And of course the fan service is excellent. Honestly you have to watch it to understand, words do not describe how good this show is. It’s a crazy combination that somehow manifested into a masterpiece. Easily one of my favourite anime of all time.
