    I personally feel that Highschool DxD's biggest strength is that the Fanservice, although it's ALWAYS there and in high abundance, it never allows it's own fanservice to distract from the story or the main point of a scene. The fanservice is integrated into the plot without interrupting it, and that's actually a very rare skill for an ecchi anime that I completely appreciate. I typically don't like fanservice anime, but I do like DxD. I believe that's the reason.

      I think the first episode has some front-loaded (no pun intended) fan sevice that just seems to come out of nowhere, but generally I agree.

    • @MrMarinus18
      @MrMarinus18 4 ปีที่แล้ว +20

      To me the girls also come across as a lot more confident. In a lot of bad ecchi series they come across as more so weak and desperate which kind of makes me feel bad for finding them sexy. In Highschool DxD the girls often are very confident and actually knowingly push their sexuality onto others.
      So it's more so him accepting their gifts rather than taking advantage of those girls.

    • @elizacody9409
      @elizacody9409 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I agree as far as the first three seasons, however, season 4 has fanservice take up too much plot

    • @diablo.the.cheater
      @diablo.the.cheater 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The reason for that is that in the source material, the novel, the ecchie is pretty minimal compared to the anime, only about 5% of the text of a volume is usually about ecchie and fanservice, 80% is usually just shounen shenanigans and 15% is dedicated to either plot development, world building or character development.
      In the anime the amount of ecchie has been greatly exaggerated, but it still has a storyline in the source material to follow so it may be the result from that.

      @W01fTamer 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you can find translations of the light novels, the series gets REALLY into that. So much more goes on with the power aspects of dragons and sacred gears and there's some stuff that the 3rd and 4th season left out that make it even more interesting. But moving into the content that would be the 5th season and beyond, shit goes insane, with them really giving context to the dragons and a greater look into humanity's role within the three great factions. They even bring in other things that were basically disregarded early on, like the fucking vampires (which early on, the author was like "Gasper's a vampire. It sucked for him. He slowly gets over it. Moving on.")

    I really like Highschool DxD because it's way more than just fanservice, and has a protagonist who isn't ashamed of being a pervert but even though being a pervert, still treats woman with respect instead of seeing them as mere objects for his fetishes unlike many other perverts depicted in anime. For me this is also a part what makes Isei such a likable character, open and honest about who he is and what he desires but never crosses the moral line.

    The difference between DxD and normal ecchi shows is that it bothers to have a plot. However the entirety of the plot is based around how pervy the main character is. Truly a masterpiece.

      Nothing said by this video raised any objections with me. Also, there is something ridiculously entertaining about the people behind these shows trying to put fanservice in at every possible corner. It's like how I can enjoy mediocre action movies for their over the top action as long as the choreography is novel.
      There are plenty of shows that force the fanservice to an unbelievable degree. But with DXD they atleast try to make it funny.

      The greatest fight in terms of set up and desperation happened at the end of season one with the solo duel against Phenex for me. The only issue I had was the overly long length of Issei’s crediting of his skills to his comrades. I feel like they could have kept them short and simply say “I learned THIS from-“ and specify which character. They already got the chess motif and anime’s a visual medium. For example he could have yelled “I learned this from Koneko” after bodying Phenex with the image of the Rook overlaying him.
      But man I get shivers when Issei talks about how he sacrificed his hand for power but even used that to use Christian artifacts to give himself an edge.

    • @Terron145
      @Terron145 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes, definitely. Including the anime adaptation among the likes of Ikki Tousen and Queen's Blade was a bit much; Freezing's adaptation isn't hot garbage - I wouldn't go that far. My issues with it lie almost entirely with its focus on the fanservice when the manga doesn't actually commit to it as strongly. The anime adaptation makes its fanservice a selling point but fails to do anything with it.
      - For the record, I watched the anime first and then tried the manga on a whim, so my preference stems from the pleasant surprise I got out of it.

    • @Codeninja676
      @Codeninja676 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Freezing manga is good and a bit disturbing at times the anime is just good looking garbage.
      Going on a tangent here if you aren't interested in personal opinions about best harem anime then turn back:
      Best harem fan service shows i can think of are definitely Trinity Seven(Although the lack of season 2 even though it has more than enough material for one pisses me off) and High School DxD
      I would also sort of put To Love Ru there but only after Darkness the original series and motto to love ru are just funny but overall just okay slice of life harem shows, Darkness revitalized the series by giving it a semblance of progression and toning down formulaic Lala invents something, hijinks ensue, machine blows up, rinse, repeat, it gave us character progression by the truckloads for the more interesting characters and introduced some good new ones also the main character starting to become more self aware of his situation and becoming a bit more ballsy as the series goes along is definitely a breath of fresh air.
      Other harems i rate fairly high if only because it had the balls to have a character pick a girl and stick with it are Zero no Tsukaima and Chivalry of a Failed Knight one of them does it in the first couple of episode (although it blue balls you in the end since no season 2 probably ever and it ends of a cliffhanger) and the other does it during the course of the series wouldn't call either of them the greatest harem anime but they are really good.

    I've always loved mythologies & seeing how the story combines both the biblical monotheistic concepts with the polytheistic concepts of the multiple pantheons is honestly my favorite part of the series. Plus despite being a magical fantasy world with actually devils, angels, dragons & literal gods. The characters, lore, history & the world building is all compounded in a grounded & realistic world which makes for very down to earth human characters.

      I highly recommend this. Just binged the series due to this video, and not having actively seen “anime tiddies” in 20 years since I was a teenager (yeesh) I found myself seeing all the ecchi scenes as a comic relief in and of themselves, which I believe was the point with 90% of the scenes you see.
      I went in expecting to embarrass myself for watching it, and left feeling really good about it. It had a great story and really touching moments that are spurred on by comedy that inevitably comes from Issei’s “worldly desires”

      darryify I 100% agree with the art style being absolute garbage, the darker and more detailed animation helped with the overall atmosphere of the show, but the season had some of the best romantic drama in the entire series, and the fight scenes were pretty good as well, also it expanded on issei’s personal struggles and hang ups fairly well

    I think the greatness of DXD (aside from the great story, awesome animation in seasons 1-3, and obvious fan-service) is how good of a character Issei actually is. He is not a typical Harem protagonist where the girls fall in love with him just because. But he actually does acts and deeds that make the girls fall in love with him. Rias fell in love with Issei gradually throughout the first season of DXD because of how kind issei was even though he was perverted. It was when Issei saved Rias from Riser did Rias fall hard which makes sense and really adds a lot to who Issei is. Despite having a dirty mind, Issei actually does care deeply about the people he considers his friends. This does not just extend to just the ladies as well but also with Gasper and Kiba. In Highschool DXD new, the girls take a backseat and Issei helps Kiba from episodes 1-6 and Gasper from episodes 7-12. He really is the best Harem protagonist.

    I absolutely LOVE highschool DXD not because Rias is the perfect waifu for me or because the roamance between issei and Rias is very comforting for me. The actual reason is indeed the story for me. It was indeed unexpected for me. I watched DXD when I was getting into anime like 3-4 years ago and when someone told me about what kind of anime it is, a guy who gets chicks in every episode, that was my introduction to ecchi anime. I was like I want to watch this shit. DXD was my first ecchi anime at that time and I absolutely started with one intention of watching tits in every episode. But the very 1st episode changed my perception towards this anime, I was like, "woah the story looks somewhat interesting I need to continue." and I watched the whole 3 season within a week and I was like, "Oh my god! this is good stuff." And that's when I fell in love with the anime. Story was absolute more hell a lot interesting than I thought. It had right amount of it's fan service.
    Rias had her own charm the way she thinks about her teammates, secretly loving issei and not telling him cuz she thinks issei has no feelings for her whereas Issei never tells her feeling to Rias thinking she don't deserve a person like him. All these moments were just so much for me. I was expecting just a generic no good guy having fun with girls and I found something that's completely different. And after that I was never able to watch any ecchi anime cuz I actually searched for any resemblance like DXD and what I got was the main protagonist MISTAKELY having all kinds of fun, his hands go somewhere else and it's a mistake. Sekirei, Shinmai, Freezing (the 1st season was good) all these anime tried to have a generic story but in the end all these end with guy having sex in MISTAKE. DXD holds a special place in my list and I can't effing wait for 4th season.

While I do enjoy the ecchi moments, I wish that they didn't have to emphasize the ecchi part at times of deeper story plots. I felt like they were unneeded in some scenes and took away from those heavier moments. Otherwise great show that surprised me

    Great synopsis. I love DxD, it's really the "kitchen sink" anime that just has everything I could ever want in an anime, aside from giant mecha (but the creator loves Gundam, so maybe some day...).
    I do wish you mentioned the soundtrack, it's possibly my favorite anime soundtrack of all time, with literally dozens of amazing pieces of music. And not only is the music epic, touching, beautiful, and so forth for scenes where such atmosphere is appropriate, the music also pulls "double duty" by being a large part of the humor. Most often when a dramatic or tense piece of music is used as the backdrop for Issei declaring his love of breasts or such, the inappropriateness of the music for what's happening on screen is the funniest part of such scenes.

    This was my gateway anime, I was 12 and had just begun year 5 (meaning new school). My first friends were all geeks and two of the were asian and hardcore anime fans. Attack on Titan had just blown up and I was interested in watching it. Instead the two showed me this and I was hooked. Akeno was my first waifu

    I enjoyed the anime. Now, I'm a respectable gentleman who does enjoy his fair share of ecchi; however, High School DxD (it's pronounced "dee-dee," as it is a shortened version of the nickname "Dragon of Dragons" that is attributed to the Dimensional Gap-dwelling Great Red) surpassed that with its characters.
    And then, I read the light novels, and they deepened my appreciation for the series. It adds much more depth to the world that is lacking in the anime (which I do understand, as not a lot can be shoved into a 22 minute period of time...giggity).
    Oh, and if you don't think that lolis outside of Koneko existed, just wait until you see the youkai Kunou (complete with her own eyecatches). I enjoyed the series FINALLY getting back to the LNs with the Kyoto arc.

      Of course dont forget the creeepy gothic lolita that is Ophis, who is the ancient dragon of time and nothingness. And she is disturbing for all the right reasons (WHY DID SHE TAKE THAT FORM THO)

    This genre still isn't anything for me, but I really do appreciate the steps this anime takes to be more respectable than the rest

      Same here...The only time I felt invested and loved a fanservice heavy show was Kill la Kill, and I'd argue the fanservice there is barely fanservice at all, despite lots of skin shown. It doesn't feel sexual, completely different tone, and it has an actual thematic point.
