High School DxD: The Series (Limited Edition) [Blu-ray]

A short, but fun romp in this supernatural universe with devils and fallen angels dueling.The protagonist is a hormone-infused teenager with lots of fan service to keep him busy.However, it is often the mechanism for humor in the series. It made me laugh a few times.Surprisingly, the most balanced and best behaved character might be the main female devil!The music and animation are good and the characters look great.Plotline is a little weak and development of the devil world is uneven.Overall it is decent escapism and entertainment.

I first came across this series after discussing what fansubs (that is to say, un-licensed anime that is not professionally translated) my friends would be getting for the winter 2012 lineup, this title came to mind. the last time i had downloaded ANYTHING resembling fanservice was Queen's Blade in 2008, and that series was so heavy in the fan-service i felt i needed a hot shower to clean the muck off of myself. so when i heard that this was a pretty 'servicey' show, i had my doubts.after downloading episode one though, i was shocked. yes, there was nudity. yes the character was an incorrigible lech, what amazed me is that they actually MADE THE PREMISE WORK. Issei was unashamed of his unbridled libido and his desire to see women's boobs. even as his girlfriend is MURDERING him, all he can think of is that her breasts were wasted since he only got to see them for a few seconds. Usually, if im being stabbed to death by a loved one, i would tend to surmise that breasts would be the least of my worried. That he is once again hunted by another fallen angel, bringing the whole 'cavalry' running was a sidestep, but when he wakes up naked next to a just-as-naked Rias Gremory, the most sought after campus idol, and doesnt totally recollect how he got there - okay, Awkward....but instead, we have female characters who are in control of their sexuality. hell, instead of pummeling poor Issei like most decent harem shows, Rias tells him to look as much as he wants to. admitted, he is shocked by it, and doesnt resist much or even make much of a statement as she dresses in lingerie that would probably make a Victoria's secret model say 'daaaaaayum'as the series progresses we get even more fan-service, in the first instance is a nameless rogue devil the cast has to eliminate, in which we meet the rest of the cast (Yuto, the Knight; Koneko, the Rook; and Akeno; the Queen to Rias' King) in which once again, breasts become the primary focus of Issei leading to comical results.which is the amazing thing about this, as a fan-service show: it actually makes the fan-service part of the plot, and NOT just something to titilate the viewer:case in point: the whole reason Rias is naked is that she can heal Issei's would totally with skin-to-skin contact, which is a staple gag about couples stranded in icy environments having to share body heat.we see that the nudity is not just fun and games with the rogue devil for, despite her rather beautiful human appearance, she's actually a centauresque creature who has a human torso from the hips up along the waist of the monster, despite her beauty, its meant as a distraction as her own powers make her quite lethal to a normal person.and as the series progresses, Issei's own desires (to be master of his own harem) are actually encouraged by Rias but it becomes soon apparent that having a harem like that will be an uphill battle due to his lowly status (that of the pawn) but can be 'promoted' for working hard.the girls of the series are all about taking charge and easily match their male counterparts, though Issei is truly king of the libido in the series. even many of his eventual 'special' moves are based on rendering his target naked (which leads to many gags about its name 'dress breaker')the fan-service continues on to season 2 (which just wrapped up a season or two ago in japan) and still appears to have room for a third season as well.

The blue ray disks are in great condition, the digital….well….you can use them. Seems they stopped using the digital redemption. So you have it but just can’t use it.Otherwise if you want a funny story, get it and support the author to try and get a series 5 out of them.

arrived on time nothing wrong plays great, like b-0-0-b's

Best way to start watching Highschool DxD series is with season 1.

You know the story: boy meets girl, they go on date and she...murders him? That's the premise of High School DxD. I believe I started the first episode years ago, but I barely remembered it.I do realize now I completely misjudged it. Yes, there's quite a bit of fan service and perverted humor...but to me (at least) it's much more than that.To start off with: Jami Marci and Scott Freeman as Rias and Issai are both superb. While Rias is more level headed, mysterious and coy, Issai wears his heart and his feelings on his sleeve.The 1st season deals with him being accepted into the Occult Research Club which is actually a frontfor what really goes on. He learns about his power and learns to hone it..all under Rias's watchful eye and sometimes body...*ah hem*Anyways, the first season sets up everything nicely. There's some really emotional moments, esp. when he meets Asia and steps in to save Rias from an impending marriage. I was blown away at the contrast between the silly harem moments, the great battles and the lighter, heartfelt moments. It really kept me on the edge of my seat.Lastly, the music is stellar! I really love the opening track and the incidental music, especially this piece that sounds like a music box playing.Gotta say too Jad Saxton as Koneko is just perfection. I love her portrayal of snarky sarcastic characters.If you're looking for something awesome and epic and worthy of your time, I don't think you can go wrong with this. Happy viewing....❤️

Il s'agit d'un superbe animé en anglais avec beaucoup de fan service (seins nus et petites culottes) adapté des "light novels" éponymes. Mais ce n'est pas que cela ! Pour vous donner une idée de l'histoire, cette dernière raconte les aventures d'un jeune lycéen Issei assez pervers qui se retrouve mêlé bien malgré lui dans un conflit qui oppose 3 factions surnaturelles: les démons, les anges déchus et les serviteurs de Dieu (anges et membres de l'église). Issei se retrouve dans le camp des démons après avoir perdu la vie et découvre qu'il possède un pouvoir très recherché. C'est ainsi que débute les aventures de notre héros ou anti-héros. Il se retrouve entouré de démones toutes plus attractives les unes que les autres, ce qui entraîne des situations des plus cocasses car bien que notre puceau soit un gros pervers, il ne veut pas blesser sentimentalement ses nouvelles amies. Donc pour ceux ou celles que le fan service ne dérange pas, c'est l'occasion de bien rigoler. Une autre idée originale de cette série c'est le parallèle qui est fait avec le jeu d'échecs, je ne vous en dirais pas davantage, il ne tient qu'à vous de le découvrir en regardant cet animé !Dans les bonus, vous trouverez également 6 petites histoires avec les héros de l'animé.
