The actual battles felt more or less like a cheesy mix of underwhelming fighting. There’s also some exploitation about the rules of the game to get viewers familiarized again. The Rating Game itself also featured some comedic moments with the press conference buildup and the actual execution. This may rub viewers in the wrong way as the relationship between Issei and Rias has been a central focus in the franchise. In one particular episode, Rias directly confronts him about her feelings and we get a half-assed response from the guy. The fact that after three seasons, he’s still dense as a black hole should come as no surprise to viewers. For Issei himself, there’s also some emotional stakes that he didn’t even realize himself. This time, the stakes are more about pride to see which team is better.
Remember, this franchise began with a concept known a “Rating Games” that has been a central element in the storytelling. It also does a clever job at building up the inevitable battles as Ria’s Team goes up against Sairaorg Bael’s peerage. By the time you’ve reached over the half the series, the familiar mood will return almost like yesterday. Luckily, the show does manage to find its way to bring that out again.Ĭovering the 10th volume, this fourth season manages to find itself well on the path of its roots again. Without it, the show would lose its identity. I say this with honesty that High School DxD is one of the few anime that works creatively well with the fanservice. Even though Rias and the main cast aren’t there, Issei still gets a face of boobs, ass, and skinship. The fan service returns thanks to the naïve personalities of characters like Xenovia and Irina. On the other hand, there are still remnants of fun value we can see this season. The drama is too serious and didn’t make me care about Kunou as much as I had hoped for. In other words, I must admit that a few of the first few episodes are too forced. However, the arc is perhaps a bit too predictable and lacks the High School DxD-esque quality as the first two seasons. The premise of this arc is incredibly straightforward after Issei realizes the responsibility they need to carry to get the job done. We meet a fox girl named Kunou and after a misunderstanding, she pleads for Issei and the others to save her mother. It doesn’t take long for the plot to kick off after they visit Kyoto where a new story puts him in conflict with supernatural entities yet again.įollowing a formulaic construction of the plot, the first half of the show adapts the 9th volume. Straight from the first episodes, we see the characters return with Issei still being a perverted self-proclaimed “Harem King”. To say the least, the franchise isn’t afraid of taking the risk to show off its fan service. This didn’t come as a surprise as the franchise has a tendency to build more into the story with establishedĬoncepts. The fourth season covers the volume 9 and 10 from the light novels. Is Hero a chance for the show to redeem itself? High School DxD Born left a bad taste in my mouth after seeing how far the franchise has fallen.

It’s been nearly 3 years since the last time this anime aired on TV and to be honest, it needed a break after the disastrous third season. From the depths of fanservicy guilty pleasure of hell makes the return of High School DxD Hero.
