As much as i hate to say it this wasnt a very good episode. Did it have its moments YES. But it didnt have the same impact. The best way to describe this episode was underwhelming.
Was it fun seeing Diodora get stomped yes but i didnt feel the hatred i felt for him when i read it. The fights between the servants were nice but it didnt have the Oomph i was hoping for. Was Freeds part good. Frankly No the transformation ruined the impact and honestly i didnt feel hatred for Diodora like i was hoping to. The ending scene with Asia was also really tame. At least it felt that way to me. And although the scene with Asia in the end certainly is a tearjerker but for some reason it didnt hit me as much as i hoped.

There was no Oomph to the fight against the servants in the LN either, they were fodder. |

I think that like many you only have 1 or 2 moments per episode that you want to see and as long as they're satisfactory it gets high marks. I'm more strict in my judgement of an episode. I mix what i know with what i expect and really i expected more at least in certain parts.

^Well who knows. I think i expected the bad moments to be good but the good ones would've been so good it outweighed the bad. The bad moments were bad but the good moments well they were kinda meh. Either way next week is the one that has to be good.

Plus in the LN issei does DB only after freezing them with Bilingual. Here he uses DB it doesnt work and the fodder proceed to kick his ass until he uses Bilingual to freeze them. Xenovia's is the same pretty much.
Even moreso with the Freed thing. In the original Freed already looks like the twisted mofo but in this one he transforms into it. Sure Diodora gets his butt kicked but in the LN you're just like okay Diodora pissed issei off he goes Super Dragon and proceeds to punch his lights out without any trouble at all.. Here you're like okay he's pissed goes Super Dragon and pounds him but its not as one-sided as the LN made it feel. Thats the problem and wat i meant by impact. The scenes are there and even if they arent great they still could be better.

Spoiler for LN Freed:
Spoiler for LN Diodora:
Anyway, for me it was a total 11/10. Diodora's peerage, Freed, and Diodora getting destroyed were perfect. Asia's prayer scene left you wondering what happened until it's explained next ep. And yeah, it's confusing right now, but her doing that fits into the type of person she is. Also, Bilingual!! High-quality breasts and high-quality fights, that's the DxD I know. 7 days until ZOOM ZOOM IYAAAN / [You... made the wrong choice.]

Freed transformed in the LN too. It was a one-sided fight. Diodora didn't do any damage on Ise and only put up a barrier. Ise didn't even flinch when he was hit by Diodora's attacks. @B214: So Rias and Akeno fighting over Ise during a fight is fine, but that isn't? OK.

And, no. That's not all I needed. I wanted it done well, and I got it done well. They kept the head-stabbing, they kept the anger in Kiba's expression, Diodora was beaten almost perfectly, what is there for me to complain about? That it wasn't EXACTLY like the light novel? The sentiment of "fuck you Diodora, you're a weak loser compared to the Sekiryuutei" was retained and that's what the entire fight was about. And I actually had a lot of fun watching the fight against Diodora's peerage, that's a first this season. ...Which leads me to wonder, since Akeno's development isn't over yet, are we getting a second date?

Ended where I thought it would, Imperial complained about nothing like I thought he would... all is right in the world.
Only real complaint I'd have would be that they didn't show the other characters trying to free Asia before Issei Dress Broke it. As it is, it relies entirely on the viewer remembering how insane the power of a Longinus is supposed to be. Otherwise really good episode to build up for next week. |
