Last episode Issei said that he wanted to do Akeno or otherwise his manhood wold be meaningless, so how come he refuses to have sex with Xenovia and Asia?

Also no Koneko this episode, but I loved the episode.

Man, why is it that is only now that FUNimation has decided to censor Ria's and Akeno's boobs?

I'm guessing that the other Bishop is Gaspar.

Wow. I can't believe Issei did a Rias figure out of clay! Hahaha.

Also, its nice to see the other Demon Lord. Now, it looks like we will get to see Rias' other bishop.

I think he is (and IMO forever will be) conflicted between his feelings for Rias (and actually all the other girls individually too) and his libido/desire to become the harem king.

I agree, he told her that he would love her always the way she is now in the first season, and she obviously has strong feelings for him. Rias just needs to try harder to bring him to the dark side of monogamy.

Xenovia's lack of common sense made it too awkward.
Asia… just seeing from the anime, Issei probably see her more like a sister or daughter than someone to bang.

Even with the harem declaration, most of the girls doesn't seem to go more than flirting partners for him.

I love how Issei admits he is weak and a low-level demon and didn't say a "I need to get stronger to defeat him" type thing or go into emo mode about how weak he is. I lost it when Xenovia showed up with condoms. I still can't get over that ED though <3.

Funimation saves the uncensored versions for their English dubs. Remember they're trying to sell Anime in country where much of it is pirated and available online faster than they can get the licensing for it. By saving the uncensored versions for their dubs they hope make at least some money from their blu-ray sells.

Truthfully, I think they get the bulk of their money from their premium subscribers, and ads on their Funimation channel more than anything else.

Lol at Xenovia and condoms. It seems Asia is learning more things at the same time ~ Thank the gods for Kiryuu ;)

Idk how many times I face-palmed at Serafall, but it was magnificent. Oh yeah, almost forgot, MIL-TAN! Great that he got some screen time, lol.

End of the episode was cute :3

Can't wait for next week for Gya-kun :D

they aren't given the uncensored ATX broadcast for their simulcast, just the censored normal tv channel broadcast. However, at some point before the dub gets uploaded for Elite subscribers and released on DVD/BD, they will replace the censored simulcast with the uncensored BD release. this happens for every show that they have that is censored and later uncensored on BD/DVD.

Another great episode. Haha, Xenovia has lots of condom packets and gives one to Asia. Asia is so innocent that she doesn't even know what they're used for. xD Issei is so TALENTED. He imagined Rias' naked body and was able to craft it perfectly with clay. That was hilarious. :D Serafall is an overlord and is also Sona's older sister, I didn't expect that at all. Issei's dad and Rias' dad get along so well. Rias acting all embarrassed and depressed was pretty cute. That kiss scene was beautiful though. Rias x Issei is the best. Then Asia had to interrupt. D: I'm guessing the bishop is Gaspar. Looking forward to the next episode. :)

Even with the harem declaration, most of the girls doesn't seem to go more than flirting partners for him.

Agreed, Rias is extremely cute with her new emotions of being depressed and embarrassed (not to mention being herself = extremely cute too) and they're a perfect couple.

I wrote the post quoted in that link - I'm basing that assessment on the series to date, as I haven't read the LIght Novel(s). It's entirely possible that, as the story progresses, Issei evolves and figures out what he wants. My main point is that it's unfair to criticize him as a character for not acting on his perverse fantasies, because he's so inexperienced with women. Just because someone is a pervert and loves boobies doesn't mean they're going to be some sort of casanova - it's natural that he would be hesitant and nervous when presented with these opportunities, especially from such well-endowed women.

He's just confused with what's fantasy and what's reality at this point in the story. That still leaves lots of opportunity for him to grow in different directions, whether he actually pursues the harem angle or not.

I'm glad you agree :)

That surprise kiss, the pool and how she was jealous. When she asks if he was happy that he met her. Definitely perfect couple.

Yeah I see what you're saying, and I agree, there's a difference between being a pervert and then being nervous and hesitant when given the opportunity to act upon his fantasies because he is so inexperienced with girls (plus the incident with Raynare adds to his hesitancy, as he doesn't want that to happen again with Rias and company). Honestly I think he doesn't want the harem angle anymore once he realizes that Rias' feels the same way about him as he does about her, but by that point there isn't much he can do about it because he already has a harem. Ishibumi would have to do some major renovations to make Issei end up with only Rias and still keep the other girls happy somehow.

For someone who hasn't read the LN your assessment is actually really good and spot on. It's really hard to find someone who actually looks deeper into his character and not dismiss him as an annoying generic pervert mc and bash him to no end (like so many posters are doing). Kudos.
