Highschool DxD in my opinion is the first bad review I ever posted. Now let me make one thing clear. I love this anime. This is one of the best ecchi/harem animes I’ve seen. The story revolves around a boy named Issei your classic high school boy who is a pervert. One day, he gets killed by a fallen angel and is bought back to life by Rias his senpai who is a devil and makes him her servant. Once he’s reincarnated he gets blessed with the power of the red dragon a powerful being that existed long ago and grants amazing power to whoever wields it. Issei vows to use this power to protect his new friends and also one day rise of the ranks of the devils to become a harem king.
The setup for this is amazing. We got devils, angels, fallen angels, hot girls, fight scenes, and most importantly a plot and story. How rare is that to see in a harem anime and when I see plot I’m not talking about breast which yes this anime has a lot of I’m talking actual plot as in the stuff that catches your interest. You find yourself coming for the fanservice but staying for the exciting and interesting story with lots of characters who are well-developed. Rias is a powerful devil but at the same time she’s still a high school girl who just wants someone to talk to and see her for who she really is. Because of her family name everyone just sees her as a high ranking devil who’s untouchable but Issei doesn’t he sees her as girl who needs someone to be her rock and someone she can feel safe around and that’s kind of what makes Issei a good character in my book. He can be perverted but when the time calls for it he can be serious and say the right things.
As I said before this was the first bad review I ever posted. There was just so much I wanted to talk about but I just didn’t know how to get it all out. Because of that the review comes across as me just doing a complete synopsis on the series and not really contributing any personal insight to the review. I’m a guy who likes to push himself to the limits. When I’ve got a handle on one method I wanna move to the next step and that’s how I am with my reviews. Once I got a handle on this particular set of animes I wanna move on to deeper and complex animes to review. Unfortunately, I just wasn’t ready to review something like Highschool DxD. I still give this anime a 7.5/10 and over the years people have told me the review is okay with some even saying they liked it and guys while I appreciate the feedback I still consider this a review I didn’t do my best work on and to me there’s no excuse for that.
