High School DxD

High school student Issei Hyoudou is your run-of-the-mill pervert who does nothing productive with his life, peeping on women and dreaming of having his own harem one day. Things seem to be looking up for Issei when a beautiful girl asks him out on a date, although she turns out to be a fallen angel who brutally kills him! However, he gets a second chance at life when beautiful senior student Rias Gremory, who is a top-class devil, revives him as her servant, recruiting Issei into the ranks of the school's Occult Research club.

Slowly adjusting to his new life, Issei must train and fight in order to survive in the violent world of angels and devils. Each new adventure leads to many hilarious (and risqué) moments with his new comrades, all the while keeping his new life a secret from his friends and family in High School DxD!

score 7 from me, 6 for fan service + 1 for the story.

of course the best of this anime is its pervertedness, perverted comedy, and harem. for the overall story I think it's just so-so, and seems old-fashioned and strange for me to watch this year. I don't know the story of a high school student suddenly becoming a devil, then there's an angel, and suddenly a dragon-shaped power rangers robot appears, what a strange story. if there was no naked fan service maybe I would only give a score of 4 or 5 because the story is not interesting. that's the only thing (Ecchi) ... that saves this anime.

Mixed Feelings

Highschool DXD I unironically watch this show for the plot. The nudity is pretty mid it only adds to it when Issei is being a pervert. I would not watch it in censored though they censor it in a way that's annoying and distracting. The dub in my opinion is better just because its funny it's like the ghost stories dub, but unlike ghost stories Highschool DXD is not boring. The only complaint I do have about the dub is Koneko's actor is not even trying its very annoying how monotone the voice is. Overall you should only watch it if your really bored ... and have nothing else to watch or you like breasts.

Not Recommended

Disclaimer:
This is in no way a professional review and
Im not talking for everyone and just for me, my opinion!
Also I watched this Anime for a Friend of mine and this is a Genre I usually don't watch.

Starting with Issei, he was a bit of a more interesting MC of an Ecchi Harem than expected, most of that is due to Yuki Kaji's Fun Performance and how he wears his thoughts and Feelings on his Sleeves. Rias, our main girl, was a bit of a disappointment tho.
Not living up to the hype, she came off as vapid and at times downright creepy towards Issei to me, ... talking about him like property at times and comming onto him where it isn't always clear if Issei enjoys it.
Only after the Phoenix-Arc she become a lil bit more likeable to me.

The other Characters are fun but pretty one note and it was fine to me, I knew they weren't the focus of the first season so it reluctantly accepted that.
Asia was a nice breath of fresh air, her chemistry with Issei kept me watching for the first half of the Show, but in the later half she continued to fall into a stereotype and felt flat to me.

The Animation was all around good, especially for the female characters, and the Soundtrack worked and enhanced the Show's Atmosphere.
The Plot however was formulaic and to be expected for this genre, but at times exactly that predictable-ness made it hard to keep watching.

The Ecchi was good I suppose, tho felt entirely out of place mostly. I didn't need to see a boob every time a character had a tragic moment or had an important conversation.
It was fine in the right, upbeat moments, but felt disrespectful to the characters in the important ones.

All in All I gave Highschool DxD a 4 out of 10, It is a fine Ecchi Anime but it wasn't something I enjoyed.
