Halubaris Maphotika Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Discuss the anime/light novel/manga! I don't read the manga, but I watch the anime and read the LN's. What do y'all think of Season 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've heard bad things about how S3 has been trying to adapt things, sometimes with the odd pacing, things that didn't get adapted, and anime-exclusive sections. Having only seen the anime, I'm indifferent as I do not know of how faithful the adaptation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halubaris Maphotika Posted October 9, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've heard bad things about how S3 has been trying to adapt things, sometimes with the odd pacing, things that didn't get adapted, and anime-exclusive sections. Having only seen the anime, I'm indifferent as I do not know of how faithful the adaptation is.I honestly get why they handled 3 the way they did, and I support it. I don't mean to be that guy, but the only thing remotely interesting about Volumes 5 and 6 combined was the Juggernaut Drive incident. Both of those volumes were pretty boring and adapting them like they did with season 1&2 where it was two volumes a season wouldn't work in this regard. I like the way they were able to merge Volume 7 in to keep the plot interesting so the whole thing didn't get stale. They kept the Fenrir bite, Loki, and the meeting and used it to introduce Astaroth in an interesting way. It wasn't faithful by any stretch of the imagination, but it worked. Also, there were a couple of emotional moments that I feel the anime handled better than the Light Novels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodrigo Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 As far as ecchi shows go, DxD is one of the best for actually having more than just boobs. ...but Rias is the goddess of anime and her name I shall worship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchermitcher Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 I've only seen S1, I've gotten lazy somewhere in the middle(read: first 3 episodes) of S2 and I haven't touched S3 sadly. I do love how unapologetically lewd DxD is but I just gotta find some time to sit down and go through all that lewd I guess. But all DxD girls are damn fine. Even Asia.

Trebuchet MS Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Come for the PLOT, stay for actual decent plot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Lets see, its got decent enough plot and great "plot". I did find S3 lacking in actual story, but it did actually give Rais her full household, by making Rossweisse the final Rook. Which annoyed me alot when it was just sitting there. Also with Rod on this, though Rossweisse is a close second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodrigo Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Asia is a precious girl that I want to protect with my life. She's the cutest. <3 Also, I like how Vali became some sort of anti-hero by helping Issei out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally good to see that iconic Great Red scene actually shown in the anime. Always imagined what it would look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitchermitcher Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Even Asia. Even Asia. Even Asia. EVEN ASIA have you SEEN her 'backstory' when she fell over in the episode she's introduced in? that is one fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine girl right there.

Azure Wolf Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 While I think about it there is one thing which bothers me with the entire series, along with others with chess themes through them. The King is always the strongest piece. The king can't move in to capture pieces,only allowing for self defence, is easy to restrict in moves and doesn't have the utility as much as other pieces. It is the win condition that is all. Anyway I enjoy Vali. He isn't a actual villain, just more of someone who wants to prove his strength. On a sort of related note, I am the only one who thought of Saxon England and Wales with the Red and White dragons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Asia ain't tier-2 Waifu DxD 420 Blaze it you are doing it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebuchet MS Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 Let's be honest, it's hard to put one of the main girls as bottom rank waifu amongst DxD characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure Wolf Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 If I had to put a DxD girl at the bottom it would be either Koneko or Asia. Koneko for the fact annoy her slightly and you will hurt, Asia for the reason I see her more like a sibling and someone to protect. The others on the other hand.

Kyng Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 On a sort of related note, I am the only one who thought of Saxon England and Wales with the Red and White dragons.Hardly, when one is literally Y Ddraig Goch. You know, the Dragon on the freaking flag of the country? And of course Albion meaning white, as well as being one of the oldest names for England if not THE oldest name, etc etc. I don't really give a damn about ranking the girls save a favourite, that being Rias, but I am a fan that unlike the vast majority of ecchi/harem anime,[spoiler=Spoiler for non-novel readers]Issei actually does choose a girl over the others to be his girlfriend, that obviously being Rias, despite how she's sort of okay with him having his harem? Which I guess as a devil makes sense, but still, eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
