I'm normally a fan of adaptations staying close to the source materia when they canl but I really hope they come up with a better name for his boob talking power than "Bilingual" cause that's just a boring and lazy ass name lol

It's a boob talking power. There's not much you can name it without it sounding creepy as hell. And creepiness is something the technique already has too much of.
Unless you could give some cool examples that are not really creepy, Bilingual is the best option.

Who would've thought that Akeno had a past like that since she always seems so cheery.
This season is pretty good so far, looking forward to more DxD!

how bout BREASTEPATHY? LOL.

Honestly tho "Boob Talking" would even be better. It's not exactly witty but neither is Dress Break. It does at least describe the power. Bilingual on the other hand is just a generic term for speaking two languages. Which doesn't even really describe the actual power since "breast" isn't a language (boobs apparently speak Japanese)

I'm suprised no one mentioned yet Fenrir being easily defeated by Arthur, where is the epic juggernaut Vali fight? This beast is in the top 10 strongest beings in dxd verse for christ sake! Don't get me wrong Loki is though and a god but he ain't in the top 10 while Fenrir is. But enough about that rambling.

As for the drama, it feels yet again downplayed for some. For people that walked with those trauma's since their childhood they sure overcome it rather easy. I guess you could say Issei has that "magical touch" (haha lame joke...).

Overal this episode is mhe..., it has some good points and changes but at what cost?

I still can't help but think, that the creators of this anime are making the story as they go. It seems like they know what happens in the Light Novels, but want to end the series as soon as possible so there aren't any more seasons.

Although the pacing has slowed down a notch, the one think that still bothers me is the poor art and animation. It really stands out, compared to the previous two seasons.

Nevertheless this is the best episode so far, because it includes the date with Akeno which I like very much.

Focused on Akeno. Nice. I really like this part. That date was not out of the ordinary, but still, it was good nonetheless.
Finally time to accept and forgive her father. Forgave him by making him a boxed lunch perhaps? Surprise kisses never get old.

NOOOOO! As a LN reader and fan of Akeno i dont approve this.

I know that Isibumi altered the events, but the development of IsseixAkenoxBarakiel in the novel was way better, deeper and more emotional than this.

Accepting her role as the ultimate moe dandere loli catgirl :3

There was a lot of Akeno in this episode, not that I mind. Barachiel must have been relieved when he saw that his daughter made a step forward to forgive him. Though, if I was him, I would be also a bit worried about how she made that step forward, especially since it happened right after he left her alone with Issei. Mmmmh...

No, it's actually a pun, as far as i remembered, it's a double meaning because it was written in kanji or sort. The alternative name for Bilingual is "Breast Talk"/"Breast Translation", you see.

Ok that makes sense. Unfortunately tho puns don't tend to translate well if at all especially when kanji are involved

[/quote]The dub shot itself in the foot for having Isssei ALWAYS call Rias by her name thereby making the new drama surrounding him always calling her prez to feel out of the blue when it's the Dub's fault.[/quote]

God nothing shows ignorance than saying that because he calls her Rias it somehow ruins the adaptation. If you guys honestly believe that him calling her buchou is the underlying issue you are missing the point. The whole point of that is that Issei sees her as nothing, but Buchou. Not as a love interest. In that aspect I really applaud the Dub for doing that how they handle

"Hey, the lady of the house of Gremory is way too good for some stupid servant's pipe dream."

I mean this is coming from the guy that usually condemns all dubs.

P.S. I don't know what you were expecting did you want issue to call her President everytime they talked? Because apparently that wouldn't have gotten annoying as fuck right?

The one ignorant here is you. Calling her by her name is a big deal in the story and yet the Dub eliminated that completely. Doesn't matter how he sees her. What matters is how he acts and the dub completely negated that with that stupid liberty it took regarding that. Apologists like you make me sick.

I really liked the episode because of the Akeno focus. Most definitely best girl. But I wish it would've followed the LN for Issei actually turning Akeno down for sex. To me that was a good moment for their relationship, but also Issei as a person. They touched on it with his inner dialogue, but I wished it could've been expressed.

Koneko on Issei's lap though. Pretty adorable.

That was my only major grip with this episode actually. That scene was one of my favorites in the entire LN up to now. Everything else was done rather well considering the stuff from Volume 5 and 6 didn't happen yet, so Barakiel couldn't say certain things without it sounding weird.

But they at least remembered to make Ise aware sex isn't the answer to this situation, so it's not as bad as it could've been. I bet 50 Internet Points Ise will think something like "YAHOO I'M GETTING LAID" in the dub though.

This was a great episode, and it seems to conclude Koneko's arc.

I love how the show is doing justice to all the girls.... Like, Issei is the first person Akeno have opened up with, or Koneko is the only one who will sleep on Issei's lap, or Issei as Asia's first friend, or Issei is the first one to touch Rias' boobs multiple times. This way, all the girls are having some fair moments with Issei, a nice harem anime.

It was a great episode, kind of feel rushed, but well, it's a 13 episode. As much as I want more Koneko, more Akeno is good too.

I don't mind Issei having many mistresses, he already have a batch of girls living in his house anyway.

I can't believe I forget that the girl from the Phoenix family gave something (the Phoenix tears) to Issei.

Glad we got the Akeno date episode that everyone has been waiting for since, you know, Akeno is clearly best girl.

Learn about her fucked up past.

But we get to see her in date clothes and acting innocent...instant nosebleed.

Throws herself onto Issei without thinking, but luckily regains her senses.

Then she FINALLY gets a kiss on Issei without anybody else in the harem getting in the way. Thank god. Been waiting for that for so long now.

Akeno best fucking girl. Just needed to say it again.

Haven't read the novels or anything but somehow, the situation between Akeno and Baraqiel lacks emotional buildup. For me at least, it seems to have been resolved too quickly and perhaps too simply.

Still a fun episode. Cute Akeno is nice, but I prefer her seductive mannerisms more.
