High School DxD: The Series [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!

The quality on the Blu-ray was great! The special features were dope too. My favorite thing is the Menu of the discs. I've got used to so many blu-rays having such boring menus, to see a show with a extremely sick menu is refreshing yet nostalgic.

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.

La mejor temporada de todas. Muy buena calidad y está en Inglés. Si estás buscando una comedia romántica con algo de shonen no dudes y adquiere este diamante en bruto!
