The drama is too serious and didn’t make me care about Kunou as much as I had hoped for. In other words, I must admit that a few of the first few episodes are too forced. However, the arc is perhaps a bit too predictable and lacks the High School DxD-esque quality as the first two seasons. The premise of this arc is incredibly straightforward after Issei realizes the responsibility they need to carry to get the job done. We meet a fox girl named Kunou and after a misunderstanding, she pleads for Issei and the others to save her mother. It doesn’t take long for the plot to kick off after they visit Kyoto where a new story puts him in conflict with supernatural entities yet again.įollowing a formulaic construction of the plot, the first half of the show adapts the 9th volume. Straight from the first episodes, we see the characters return with Issei still being a perverted self-proclaimed “Harem King”. To say the least, the franchise isn’t afraid of taking the risk to show off its fan service. This didn’t come as a surprise as the franchise has a tendency to build more into the story with established The fourth season covers the volume 9 and 10 from the light novels. Is Hero a chance for the show to redeem itself? High School DxD Born left a bad taste in my mouth after seeing how far the franchise has fallen. It’s been nearly 3 years since the last time this anime aired on TV and to be honest, it needed a break after the disastrous third season. Beyond this vague anxiety, what is the exact nature of the feelings Rias has been struggling with for the past few months?įrom the depths of fanservicy guilty pleasure of hell makes the return of High School DxD Hero.
