High School DxD Hero (Anime Season 4) - Generic Discussion Thread
 

A new TV anime was announced a few months ago, but apparently we were late in creating the thread.

This thread is for news and speculation, but please avoid explicit novel spoilers.

Thanks to the discussion in the LN thread it made me thinking, What if the new DxD anime continues its story from BorN instead of reverting to the main timeline.

Dragon Magazine July 2015 confirmed that the next phase of the anime would be volume 9/10 I believe.

That was 2 years ago though. Well the source of me bringing up this topic is because of the discussion in EX thread in the LN section and the upcoming anime being called a "new anime" instead of Season 4. Don't take it too seriously, though it could be shocking if the anime remove Le Fay from its plot.

I reckon they will either continue exactly like in the light novels as if BorN never happened or they will bridge BorN to the new season so anime only watchers won't get confused. Either way is fine for me as long as volumes 9 and 10 are adapted well. If this new series/season isn't volumes 9 and 10 then it could spell the end of the DxD anime. Hopefully that isn't the case.

I also hope that The Fun Gremory Family short story in volume 8 gets adapted into an OVA and is aired just before season 4's release.

I heard rumors it was going to be an original story.


About retconning Born out of existence.


Which would be hilarious.

There are various rumours going about. Rumours about how a new studio is taking over DxD, people going nuts because 'new series' was mentioned instead of new season. I've also heard the reverse of these rumours such as TNK are making the next season, leaks from people working on it on twitter etc etc. I'm waiting for something more concrete to be revealed before I draw any conclusions.

I'm going to laugh hysterically if everyone hoping for a retcon don't get what they want. They'll probably just continue from where BorN left off.

They will. TNK fucked up in s1 and said there were only 3 pillars remaining. They don't care as long as the series makes money.

I don't remember TNK saying there were only 3 pillars remaining, you sure that's not you mistaking the lousy sub in Season 1.

The anime only has Gremory, Sitri and Phenex as the 3 pillars that survived the great war. It's mentioned in the training episode in the first season. Personally it doesn't bother me as it's a anime show made to entertain. The books can give me everything else.

I just watched that episode and it wasn't mention at all that the Gremory, Sitri and Phenex are the last remaining pillar. Rias just said most of the 72 Pillars died out and Gremory, Sitri and Phenex are among the surviving pillars.

The sub for the first anime was lousy, i still remember there were many complains about the lousy subbing.

I watch FFFansubs version as I don't want to watch Funimation's sub's ever since they messed with names of the characters.

any news anywhere on possible release date?

There hasn't been any news at all for months since the announcement.

Would have bought we would have heard something more by now

Saw someone posted its in July 2017

I seriously doubt it. There haven't been any promos or announcements confirming this.

Someone probably misunderstood DX4 and Season 4 since DX4 is schedule to be out on July.

Yep. Like this = https://imgur.com/a/YArhv
