ok so new show coming out now is Highschool DxD. The story follows Issei Hyodo, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student who is killed by a girl on his first date ever. Issei is reincarnated as a devil, and from that day forward, he serves as an underling of Riasu, a high-level devil who is also the prettiest girl on Issei's campus. 

ok so watched the first episode and it is pretty funny but it deff has A LOT of fan service in it. What does everyone else thing so far...

[conanwong]

its not heavily censored is it?

[Megiddo]

From screencaps I've seen. Full topless nudity, nips and all.

As far as what I think, I don't watch awful shows.

[robertje]

yeah that was kinda an upset when i seen how much fan service was in it but it was pretty funny up till then aka 15 min in haha

[RandAlThor13]

First episode was amazing.

I will be making a "First Look" post on CSW in the very near future for anyone who is interested.

[conanwong]

looking forward to it. and will it be snarky or humble when you do a "first look"?

[RandAlThor13]

You shall see.

[stardust_whispers]

I don't know if I'll be watching this until after the series has ended. I got a lot of other shows coming out. Still some airing.

[Zurqoxn]

I read that as "Highschool D&D" and wondered why Robertje would be posting about his Dungeons and Dragons games.

[Megiddo]

When I first saw the name of the title, I thought this would be about D&D.

Oh what a fool I was.

[RandAlThor13]

There is a lot of T&A, but no D&D.

My blog post should be up in about 20 minutes if anyone cares to read it.  I'd link it, but it is very much banworthy.  If you are familiar with the CSW blog, you can find it.

[robertje]

hahaha nope no D&D sadly lol maybe some WoW who knows lol

[TheBigOFan72]

I've been interested in seeing this since I saw it on the chart. I'm hoping this does get a simulcast (To haters: Haters gonna hate.). FUNico might just get it.

[Pandaka]

Funniest thing was the preview.

"Harem oah ore wa naru!"

Dohohohohohohoho~

I came into this series just to find out why the girl who killed Issei killed him and how. I got the how, but not the why, but much to my surprise, I got a series that I actually find to be rather decent, and will watch alongside Guilty Crown, Rinne no Lagrange, Mirai Nikki, and (in Feb/Mar) Black Rock Shooter this season.

PROS

Issei is pretty alpha. Well, more alpha than Shoe (whose voice he shares).

Action scenes with some interesting CGI to go along with it.

Hot succubus/demon women.

Little to no censorship (save for the lightbeam).

Promising plot (in both respects).

CONS

The magical girl anime the pervs were watching was pretty strange.

I'm disappointed that the fallen angel man wasn't voiced by Fumihiko Tachiki.

I still don't know why Yuuma killed Issei, and the fact that it involves something called "Sacred Gear" doesn't bring my question even close to being answered.

This will be the first TNK anime I ever watch. I was hoping it would've been either Magical Meow Meow Taruto or L/R: Licensed by Royalty (The former I got as a hand-me-down from my sister; the second I got for my birthday), but I'd rather take fanservicey demon women over loli catgirls and the vaguely British any day.

[robertje]

yeah im still confused about why they killed him aside from him being a perv lol im sure episode 2 will reveal more as to why he is now a slave lol

[MaryMagdelicyoius]

What you don't watch lawlz shows....newb.

[RandAlThor13]

Yay Funimation.

Honestly.... People go "A BLUH BLUH NO ONE RESPECTS THE AMERICAN ANIMU INDUSTRY WAI DO U GIES ALWAYS JUST DOWNLOAD FANSUBS! AMERICAN ANIMU IS GUNNA DIEEEEE" but then Funi and the rest of them go and license crap.

I know most weeaboos are stupid as sh!t, and will buy this garbage... But dont go and wine about how the US animu industry needs some respect.

Both the viewers and companies are terrible and should feel terrible.

[robertje]

are you kidding me? rofl now this i gotta see lol

[robertje]

no offence this anime is funny and all but with the nudity and crude humor wont do good at all over here...

Some thoughts on the most recent episodes.

EPISODE 2

I'll keep this short: first off, I was expecting Issei to summon the Sacred Gear while picturing Rias in his mind, not the main character of the series' Dragonball Z knockoff.

Also, the ED is amazingly animated. Who knew that Koneko's butt could be so hypnotizing?

EPISODE 3

I think I'm gonna like Akeno, even if her brand of sadism is killing things with electricity.

The chess scheme thing: so if Rias is the king, Akeno is the queen, Kiba is the knight, Koneko is the rook, and Issei is the pawn, then who is the bishop?

Freed is an evil monster (for a priest), but he's very entertaining to watch, what with his voice and his vulgarities.

I liked how Issei put Asia's safety over noticing her boobs were out. Good man.

Finally, a question for Martinman/RandAlThor93 (if he's still watching this): what do you think is the worst way for a demon to die: exorcism or grimoire disposal?

I dunno.  We haven't seen heaven exorcise a demon yet, so I will hold off judgement until we actually see how it works.

Episode 3 continued to be entertaining.....the silver haired girl reminds me of Angel.  And the loli nun with boobs is cute, although kind of annoying.
