Don't normally post but as someone who reads the LN i really don't mind the changes that much.
Yes they could have done some stuff in better ways but this don't really effect the overall story that much IMO. Hoping it does good enough so we can get a season 4 so i can see parts of vol 9 and 10 cause more DxD is always good in my book even if somethings get change . |

Same I've been reading to LN since 2012 when I 1st stumbled upon DXD when the anime came out. While there are something's that I haven't liked about this season over all I have enjoyed and has stayed relatively true to the LN in the overall sense.

They didn't need the AO content though. Like in my previous post, I mentioned that a 1 volume per 4 episode format was perfect for this season. Build up the Issei/Rias dynamic, but in a different way. And since Loki's endgame was just leading to this, keep the original format because this AO content, is again, completely unnecessary and all the cut parts just makes it really disappointing. You have to agree with me on that.

I never said it was "needed". But the author wanted to do it this way, and since apparently there is stuff from v20 in it, the studio wouldn't have known since it isn't even released yet even now, months before production started. So yeah, this is all Ishibumi's wish. If you want to hate, hate him, not the studio. |

Aside from this being a cookie-cutter mind control plot, my biggest gripe is actually the armor design for Rias. I cringed. Hard. They needed someone older than a 10-year-old to design that one. She's the final boss of the season, c'mooooon TNK.

Hate is a really strong word. Disappointed =/= hate, just wondering what his thought process was deciding on the changes? And I guarantee he is not the only one who decided on the changes, a lot of people have been harping on the director of this series for how BorN has been playing out.

But he's the only one who could do this whole Rias using Scale Mail stuff. So he had at least a heavy hand on the decisions. |

For all the good that does me, I can't translate Japanese worth a damn, and anyone can link something and claim it's a condemnation or criticism without it actually being so, or providing a verifiable translation.

Its a very large shame when you watch an episode and outside of Arthur Explaining what Collibrande does and the eye catch i really wasnt feeling this. Rias using Issei's BB was a nice twist but i find issei's hesistation almost borderline idiotic because you see his resolve and then he reverts.
This season overall has been a disappointment to me and next episode really has to be a briliant one for me to salvage this AO idea.

It's kinda hard to deduce the tweets at times since its always being updated by bots. I wouldn't lie about this. But whats funny, is that a prediction came out a few days ago and has born selling around 5.3k as its sales expectation. Now that could change to be a little higher seeing how it doesn't come out till July 24th. Going by rankings at retailers, these past episodes haven't affected much in sales. In fact, the 11th episode gave a boost to the rankings concerning HMV, Neowing, Rakuten, Getchu, and Gamers.

5k is more than fine, specially considering DxD isn't a high-budget show. S4 is confirmed if it sells that much. |

Now, discussion is fine, but can we please not continue down the road of "BorN is trash, LN is superior and if you like the anime you are enjoying what is an utter disgrace to the series"? I know some LN readers are upset, and some are enjoying this. I'm of both camps. I enjoyed it up until this week. And I'll still consider BorN a relative success if the finale goes as I'm predicting. What matters in the end, no matter if you love the changes or hate them, is that the fans in Japan are okay with it. Sales are all that matter here. A proper S4 should overshadow anything and everything BorN did "wrong". And, who knows what the future holds. Maybe TNK realizes they aren't making money off of anything else, becomes a DxD-only studio, and one day releases a "proper" remake of BorN. //endrant

I could see it happening if DxD was as successful a series such as Fate. But it's not even comparable to that, even the hated by many DEEN adaptation sold, what, 10k-20k per BD? The DxD anime will dry out in one or two seasons more, tops. That's what I predict at least, miracles could happen after all. |

Jesus to all those that complains that they are diverting too far or they are butchering the story, did anyone here even take notice that Ajuka adjusted Ise's Evil Pieces already.
God people just wants to find the things they view as bad and complain while ignoring the fact they make sure the story is connectable with the ongoing plot. Last edited by B214; 2015-06-13 at 20:32. |

This is what a lot of people are hoping for. Maybe they rename the studio if that happens. Most of the peoples thoughts on this season, is that once season 4 rolls around, that this season never happened. Like I said though, I'm in this for the ride.
