Sitri Rating game wont be in this season.


why wouldn't it be in this season? the rating game against the Sitri family is the second half of volume 5, which the anime is currently covering.

It is, it's just happening later in the season. Around episode 6.


I swear I read somewhere that it wont be in the Anime and was cut. I think Ishi's blog. Maybe I was wrong but I swear I read that.

I was actually wondering, when I saw what you said, if there was some announcement I didn't read, but skipping the rating game would just be weird.... I'd be incredibly disappointed if it were true....

we'd miss out on...

Kind of disappointed with Rias' mom's character design. I was expecting scarlet hair also and more elegant clothing. She's still pretty though.




You should spoiler tag that.

Nothing worth spoilering really. After all it is already spelled in the episode itself.

Anyway Ravel being cute is enough for me.

Next episode will be the long awaited

I can't say I really enjoyed this episode, volume five is one of my favourites so to see so many things changed or skipped is disappointing. It was nice to see what little interaction we had between Tannin and Issei animated though.

Training ep! 20 days of training feels like 5 minutes lol. Everyone got thier own training methods and koneko overworking. This ep is really jam packed with the introduction most of rias family members and that sairog guy looks like a major player in the story plus norse god meeting party event, koneko backstory and meeting her sister in the same ep. Good ep overall i just love tannin quickly picked issei up and fly off>.< and ravel best girl!

Luckily I watched the uncensored version. ;D

But maaan, the pacing is way too fast! I don't remember the sequence of events to be like this from the light novel. :/ There were already some stuff skipped. Their 20-day training went by so fast! xD First two seasons have been good and paced well. They seem to be rushing this season so that


Well, on the good side, I got to see Ravel again, and this is how I remember her from the novel. :) Aside from Rias and a certain powerful loli who has yet to make an appearance in this season, Ravel is one of my favorite girls in DxD. :)

Am I remembering it wrong? I thought we had a fair few conversations between Tannin and Issei, Issei returned to Gremori home part way through his training and had some lessons from Mother Gremori and checked up on Koneko with Akeno. The meet up with the other young devils was its own thing and later on didn't the Gremori group arrive at the party riding on dragons?


I do recall them riding dragons to the party in the LN. But from the training arc I don't recall much, so at least to me they didn't skip anything important.

It's not really skipping material, they're just rearranging Volumes 5, 6 and 7 to make the story flow better. The Meeting and the Party were merged into one, but that's it, next episode should have the rest of the Young Devils Meeting.

The lessons with Venelana can be put later on as long as it is before the Extra-life of Volume 8.
Tannin backstory can also be put into a future episode.

Going to the party riding Dragons is cool and all, but not that important.

TL;DR: Things that happen in Volume 7 will be brought up during the Volume 5 and 6 arcs and vice-versa.

Also, by having Issei nightmares about Yuuma and Rias being sad about being called 'Buchou', it is implied that they would show us the ending of volume 10.

But, that may be only a tease.

what about the part, when Isse bulk up and looks more macho, after that training. They skipped tons of scenes from the training part and the dragon complimenting isse for holding up so long.

Rias' mom looks great! I can see where Rias got her figure. Hahaha!
Training, training and more training is definitely not enough. I guess most of them had a rather difficult time, especially Issei who's also far from Rias during that time.
Kuroka and Shirone reunited once more. I can almost see what's going to happen.
Also, we get to see Rossweisse in that preview. I'm a little excited for that.

That was a pretty good episode in my opinion even tho there wasn't much action. I guess the action starts in the next one. We got to see some new characters and some returning characters which was also cool.

Am I wrong or Rias is cuter than usual this episode :D ? Just how she acts around her parents :P

It was interesting that we saw some of Koneko's back story as well as her sister since I haven't read the manga or whatever this is adapted from and didn't know about her story

Also we got a new addition to Issei's harem at that meeting, its great to see how it grows :D

There was only one problem with this episode.
Compared to the last one there wasnt enough PLOT *wink* *wink* but its great to see this kind of episodes sometimes too

All in all I liked the episode and Im looking forward for the next one :)

Well, I feel bad for all of you who need to watch it censored. In french, no one have licenced it, so it's fansub doing the job... That suck for you :/

Rias being all embarassed by her family was so great :3
Man, would I have felt awkward in front of her mom, being Issei.

Koneko-chan went full neko! :D
My life is complete. Seriously though, I want MOAR neko Koneko-chan! :O

The blonde imouto sure took a drastic turn. She went from being a bro-con to a full Issei-con, begging him to let her in his harem.

This episode reminds me of Campione. LN series turned anime. They crammed 5 volumes into 12 episodes.

They may not have skipped over anything important but it's the little things that you love about a show. It's the difference between a house and a home or a game that you rent vs a game that you buy.

They are not skipping, they are shuffling it. there will be scenes from Volume 5 that'll be put on later.

The term "lost in the shuffle" springs to mind but that's not my point. It's the pacing that is the real problem. Without proper pacing, the latter scenes will lose their impact. Also, taking time to develop the characters is really important when you're adding new ones.

I feel exactly the same...I loved the novels, and after season 1/2 were done so well I had really high hopes...but jesus christ this season is just completely butchering it. Atleast Danmachi is getting a proper adaptation :(

I'm pretty glad that this show is really starting to hit its stride in terms of real plot (no, not the tit kind of plot). My only worry though is how rushed it feels... Are they really trying to cram three solid volumes into a single cour?

Venelana Gremory = Hottest Milf in Hell. No contest.

I'm glad we saw more of their individual training, though I don't quite understand why they don't have a personal trainer to push Graspar along a bit. IMO he's the one who really needs the moral support, considering that his issue is psychological and not physical. Still I love every scene when he ends up in his box ala Metal Gear Mode. He reminds me of a gerbil.

Ravel, oh Ravel, I it's a shame we won't see
this season. I'm still looking forward to her antics.

Looking forward to the games and Rossweisse's arc.

I finally got around to watching the first 2 episodes and I gotta say, they really started this season off fast. First episode was funny and a great start, and this one had only a little humor and concentraited more on story and character development. That's one of the things I love about this series, it balances ecchi humor with actual story and character development. I do admit it does come off a bit rushed, but hey, I've seen other shows try to cram in less and do a terrible job. So I think this season is off to a great start and I just have 2 questions for anybody who can answer:

1.What did Ravel give Issei?
2.Am I the only one got pissed when Diodora showed up?

Granted it was only a cameo, but if you read the novel, you know exactly why I can't wait to see Issei beat him to a pulp.

as always Rias Family riches...and just that freaking big. and there is Millicas. and Venerala...damn Rias has gotten her Mothers looks and beauty.

but aw, blushing Rias. so cute...damn because Issei's trauma's he does not realize the situation...but even Grayfia is quite embarrassed exhausted when she has to deal that kind thing huh? XD

...so...Asia and Xenovia were first ones now just how we expected. and Exoniva has pretty bad sleeping habits huh...and Training starts...poor Issei.
and Drama that is in Akeno and Koneko in this season...starts to reveal. and There is Sairaorg. damn I have to catch up with LN to compare these scenes.

Meeting PArt 1 starts...and Kuroka..officially Arrives.

Kinda odd they cut a little from the LN out but otherwise still sticking to the original story pretty well. They definitely should have kept the etiquette training Rias's mom gives Ise it is fairly important. Also can't wait for next episode when will should get some Balance breaker action.

Hmm, less "plot" and more plot for this episode.

Rias blushing is cute. Xenovia sleeping is cute. Ravel crushing on Issei is cute.
Azazel's individual training for everyone is great.
We get to meet Sairaorg and Akeno's father, however we still don't know Kiba's master.

Also Odin is coming to the party!
But for now, Kuroka wants to say hello to her little sister. (^_^)
