  (Note: for some reason, MAL hates this review, so it's honestly not like I randomly stopped writing it. I'm not sure WHY this happens, but please note that I've been trying to fix this since I posted the review. I'm going to try and post some short comments here, but who knows if the review will explode again.) Oh High School DxD, you crack me up. And I don't say that about many ecchi shows, either. ;) (Side note: If you didn't watch the main show and/or didn't like the series, then this is pretty much the same as the above and you'll either be lostor won't like it.)nnStory (7/10): Really, nothing important goes on here, save for two antagonists that like to use the 'tentacle vines/bandages' technique and seeing what the other 3 members of the Occult Club do when summoned. But I still love all the jokes and we get the barest glimpse of 2 characters that will appear in the second season. nnArt (9/10): Looks as good as the show, if not a little better. Granted, they need to chill out on the bounce to the ounce (boobs SERIOUSLY don't work that way show. Cause that would hurt. >

  High School DxD OVA Review: There is a time when we have to come and question yourself, have I had enough of this? seeing how this is a review for High School DxD OVA, you should assume that I'm talking about the parent show, Highschool DxD, and as you might have seen, it's full of fanservice, with a touch of faint barely noticeable plot. Ok, with that out of the way, this is an OVA, a short that expands on the original series, be it on the story, or character development, but seeing that the parent story had almost none of those, this is an expansionof its glorious side, that resides on the hardcore fanservice.nn- Story (4.0/10):nThis OVA, that's told in 2 episodes are a very standalone tails that require no knowledge on the parent show, so even if you have not watched the show, you can probably still watching and enjoy this, it has no attachment to the plot whatsoever, and it's not a bad thing, these two episodes each tell a different story, so the production team must have to improvise a lot, and eventually came with the most stereotypical shounen episodes ever, Nothing to be memorable here really, aside from the yet extreme fanservice.nn- Art (8.0/10):nJust as good as the main show, with the decent art style, and ideal female anatomy, the ridiculous breast physics are just as wild as ever, and the camera angles, 👌.nn- Sound (7.0/10):nIf it weren't for the shortness of this animation, the amazing soundtrack would have had some space to breathe, I'm deeply in love with the parent series' OST, too bad it wasn't used more often in here.nThe sound effects used here are surprisingly good, especially the ones simulating sexual contact.nThe voice acting was at it's best as well.nn- Character (4.0/10):nJust as poor and flawed as the main story, it seems the production team didn't expand on the characters more, as they remain just as one dimensional as ever, most of them are just pure sexual reincarnation that has nothing to admire aside from their body bumps.nn- Enjoyment (8.5/10):nI really enjoyed watching this despite its many flaws, it's like they understood what we really want from series such as these, nobody cares about the plot, or else we would have gone to better story driven shows, they just gave us our overdose of fanservice, with extra comedy.nn- Overall (6.3/10):nThis is originally a sequel to the first season and a prequel to the second, and as one might see them, they are respectively the 13th and 14th episodes from the 1st season, but watching them isn't necessary to grasp the “plot”, if you have time to spare and see some extra goofiness and extreme fanservice, then tag along.

  This two episode OVA consists of side stories that take place after the events of the first DxD season. The first episode centers around a mysterious tree that generates breast-shaped fruit that grants the (hopefully) female eater immediate, voluptuous proportions. The second episode follows Asia and Issei's training as they shadow the other peerage members' contract missions. The OVA doesn't contribute much in terms of advancing the core plot line; instead it focuses on delivering maximal fan service per second. Expect a lot of topless nudity, a lot of Issei's fantasies, and a lot of girls being suspended in midair in suggestive positions. If thisis your thing, dig in. And assuming you've made it through the main show, you'll probably find this a fun distraction.nnAnimation:nThe animation quality is on par with the main show. You'll still get nice coloring and good character styling, with a topless touch. Expect a fair dosage of magic-based action and an overdose of ecchi.nnSound:nAll the sound elements are recycled from the main show including the OP, ED, and BGMs. All the original VAs return as well so you can expect a very good performance in that aspect.nnStory:nI've pretty much covered what to expect in the intro. This OVA doesn't answer any lingering questions from the first season but luckily doesn't introduce any additional confusion. It's pretty much additional filler material with an emphasis on ecchi.nnCharacter:nWhile there isn't any tangible development, you still get the strong personalities from the main show. The only possible development is an increase in Issei's ecchi appetite, though it only adds to the comical nature of his character.nnValue:nFor fans of the original DxD anime only. The material here makes no sense without the background in the main series and those who can't tolerate the ecchi in the main show definitely won't do any better here. A fair watch to burn out an extra hour.
