| Becaise the anime original on last season this new season's 1st ep are recap and feel like the end of season. Oppai Dragon is the only good thing from last season and that was amazing way to use it LOL. While the animation is better still can't used to new style. This is remind me why i love DxD so much. |
| Into the Internet! |
| You know BLESS YoUr NAME will fit as the OP because it will cover vol 10. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| Not so much a recap as an alternate version of episode 9. Having watched both on the same day the biggest difference for me was not just the resolution to the juggernaut drive but the entire tone of the climax, going from dramatic to more of a comedic angle. Hard to say which I preferred right now as I can't say I hated how BorN dealt with it, it'll be interesting to see how things progress from here. |

O man, f**k, guess i'll just ignore those scenes cause i won't stop watching :D |

O man, f**k, guess i'll just ignore those scenes cause i won't stop watching :D Don't mind it. I'll spoil a bit though you'll probably be happy about it. Issei never thought of Asia as a romantic interest before this kiss. He thought of her as his sister. Rias is the main heroine don't worry. At least he got a kiss. No dense mf here. Boooostooooo |

He thought of her as his sister. that's one of the reasons and asia always forces herself on issei and i don't see any chemistry between them. i don't really like asia tbh, so i'll just ignore her for the most part as you said. Jdogla said: Xander_Cage said: really.. they get even more closer!! O man, f**k, guess i'll just ignore those scenes cause i won't stop watching :D Man you won't really be able to ignore it. i heard that he was engaged to rias,akeno and xenovia from my friend but not asia. he said that issei still thinks that he's responsible for the safety of asia but never really thought of her in a romantic way or something like that. |

| Art Style ≠ Animation. While I like the fact that TNK's art style had more facial detail, the animation was like watching key frames slide across the screen. It was nowhere near as fluid in BorN as this first episode of HerO was. I'd much rather have actual exciting animated fights and whatnot, over looking at TNK's keyframes pose in battle. (At least in the first two seasons, the animation was done well enough to go with the art style.) About the episode itself, it was soo refreshing to have this show back airing, and this retcon episode delivered for the most part. It wasn't perfect, but seeing as this is not really an episode that they would pour the budget into, I have high hopes for this season. |
| yep animation styled bugged be but so far a good episode |

Heiach said: I saw episode 0, the recap episode.. really badly translated. Since it's almost an identical scene-for-scene of episode 9 of the last series, why not reuse *those* subs? Episode 1 is delayed until Wednesday... so we're getting a new episode today right? As in episode 1, an entirely new episode, not episode 0 (but with better subs)? It's not that identical though since it concludes differently |
That's fair but the kicker is those subs are not even official. The episode itself is not even officially out in the west yet it was just a random fan who subbed them :P |
| OPPAI DRAGON ! xDD |
| 'Production delays' imply someone on the Japanese side fucked up and screwed Crunchyroll in the process. Wonder who fucked up lmao Anyway when it releases I'mma be watching this subbed on Crunchyroll and dubbed on Funimation even if it's censored just so I can support the show and the western release. I'll just go and download the uncensored version later and look at the scenes that got altered. |

| That Oppai Dragon song was hilarious xD, but even so, episode 9 of Born is still one of my favorites episodes of the whole series, mainly for two scenes: -The first is when Issei loses his mind with the disappearance of Asia, his reaction in Born is more painful, when the others see this they also break and the attempted attack of Xenovia adds more feeling to the scene. Here in Hero they summarized that part and lost the impact. -The second is when Asia wakes up, in Born the camera focuses only on Xenovia and Asia making the moment more intimate and touching. In Hero, focus on the whole group and that moment is lost in the corner of the screen. Anyway, I was really looking forward to the return of this series, very excited about what's coming. |
| Kinda a meh episodes and not enough of Rias' chest. The animation is ok I guess not losing much relative to the former. |
| they have cartoonized the girls, it is bad, the sexy Rias and Akeno are now just another two moe characters, But even there Asia is not as cute as the original version. I see they are also overwriting the end of "Born", with a phatetic vercion. |

I see they are also overwriting the end of "Born", with a phatetic vercion. True version. Born was a horrible fanfiction which horribly compromised later events in the story. |
| I HATE The new Characters design! it sux |
| Glad to see that they retconned the weird direction that Born took. Let's stick more to the source. The art style makes the girls look different from previous seasons, but we'll get used to it soon enough I guess. |

| [(...) Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai Oppai (...)] A little bit of rectonning in the beggining; I don't mind. That song was ridiculous... (Oppai, Oppai, Oppai, Oppai, Oppai, Oppai... AHAHAHA) Oppai Dragon and Switch Princess? AHAHAHAHA; I haven't watch a first episode that was so funny in a while! Asia's confession was cool. About time she get confidence in herself! I also thought I would take a while to get used to this new art style but I actually didn't care that much. Overall: 7/10 |
| I loved this episode for 2 reasons. 1. Oppai Dragon & 2. The guy who got both of his arms torn off was utterly priceless!!!! |

I am glad that the creators are taking the time to fix the mistakes that born created, and it was just refreshing to have more DxD. |

kajquo said: idk to be honest ive been wainting for this since born finished airing and i am very disappointed This was never going to follow the abhorrent fanfiction that was the BorN Ending |
kajquo said: Darklight0303 said: This was never going to follow the abhorrent fanfiction that was the BorN Ending i was never interested with the novels or any discussions connected with the series so i really didnt see it coming I recommend reading the first post in this thread for context https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1720577 |

| oh god, seeing the new Artsyle in the episode in motion makes me sad.... Wish we had TNK doing this anime still I mean...the art is not bad, its just that it's too cutesy and moe. It doesn't give off a sexy appeal like the original had I never thought I would see the day where I'm not looking forward to more DXD *Sigh* well I guess this season is a good filler for when I'm bored. |

alphanite said: WHAT THE FUDGE have they done to the fight scene?! the recap episode and episode 9's fight scenes are completely different! and the way vali and rias worked together to restore issei are also completely different! WTF!!!! This is how it was supposed to be. BorN went so far off the rails it ended in a paralel galaxy |
