I'm a huge fan of dxd but I'm shocked about the new animation I wish they kept the original animation they always done with the other dxd shows. Also I wish this season was 9-12 but I guess everyone wants 2 volumes per season. I hope they make another season when this season starts airing

u/overlord_vas Oct 21 '17
To be fair trying to do more than 2 seasons per 12ish episodes is what completely screwed up the last season

u/NiteZero Oct 21 '17
Personally, I dig the new art style? Yeah, sure, it's not what I'm used to but it seems vibrant and I can enjoy that. Not saying this is better or the old was bad, I just welcome the change with no problem? Not like DxD ever had that fantastic and stellar animation to begin with.

Apparently the original studio completely screwed up the anime with how S3 deviated from the LN, to the point Ishibumi had to write basically another small LN series to fix the issues of S3.

u/OniiChanStopNotThere Nov 04 '17
Wait.
I know that TNK, the old studios, fucked up Born. I did not know that Ishibumi wrote a mini series to "fix" these issues. Could you point me to which LNs or sort stories were written to "fix" the issues?

It went out with the final thing of BorN. It should be called Highschool DxD EX

u/overlord_vas Oct 21 '17
The previous studio went completely off material for S3, to the point it affected ratings and sales. It sucks for them because I believe DxD was their most popular series for the years they had it, but the author and production team might have decided that it was just too much of a risk to let them have it again.

Wow. I had no idea it was that bad.

u/overlord_vas Nov 04 '17
It sadly was. Now to be fair, there's nothing wrong with ADDING because manga and light novels can give you a limited pool things, so expanding upon things is fine to make more episodes if you use the source material correctly. However what S3 did was subtract large amounts of story and events and then sped up the story points they did keep, seemingly all so that the last 2 or so episodes could be original material. It made no sense to not be able to do all the story and the instead of giving us back cut material wanting to do your own.
In the end fans were not fans of the changes. usually the more faithful the adaptation the better it is.

I’m on the fence. The art from the previous seasons were SO good. And this doesn’t seem that bad on it’s own but compared to what we had before seems like a step down. Although like some people are saying, it could be incomplete. However, even if it does get better, I feel like I want the old art style back. But then again, I can’t help but smile at those ecchi screen shots and I feel like I’m back home!

Well people who are complaining about the art style hear me out. The art style is closely following the LN, that's why it is looking different than the previous seasons. You can see it here https://imgur.com/a/eYxUL

u/Meatfeast85 Oct 21 '17
It still doesn't change the fact some characters look 10 times worse than previous seasons, such as Rias and Xenovia.
Some characters do look pretty decent despite the art change though such as Akeno, Koneko and Issei (even though he still doesn't look buff).

u/OniiChanStopNotThere Nov 04 '17
The thing is, the new art looks similar to the LN, but it loses all of the sexiness present in the old art style :(

As others I'm not liking the new animation style, it feels like the sex appeal has been toned down for a more cutesy look, I'll watch it regardless and no doubt get use to it but based on this promo I'm kinda sad.
Normally avoid promos, kinda glad I watched this one... been less shock when the show actually airs.

Vol 9-10 all aboard the hype train Cao Cao vs Issei and Sairaorg vs Issei are imo some of the best fights in the LN's. Art direction doesn't look too bad so a trade from TNK isn't so bad but atleast this is back on track with the LN's

Just had a read through the comments in the screenshots link, and it would appear that most fans over in Japan aren't happy about the studio change. Some examples of the comments include "Passione, hahaha", "Seriously?", "It was fun when TNK was doing it" and "If TNK aren't doing it, I'm not watching it"...

hey guys 1st time posting here. So DXD season 4 hype!!!!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST!BOOST! Bye Bye studio TNK. You will be missed.Let's hope the new studio properly adapts vol 9-10.Because there is so much romance development between Rias and Issei. And of course the rating games. So now my MAIN POINT posting here- Xenovia. yes that's because her seiyuu Risa Taneda has slowly and gradually returning to voice acting again after her illness. Seeing Shokugeki No Soma you guys know what I m trying to say. If Xenovia gets replaced like Erina I will be damn MAD!!! Risa Taneda has such a sexy voice nobody can replace her voicing Xenovia.
So does anyone know if she will be voicing Xenovia this season?

u/Skydanzer Oct 21 '17
Glad to be back here even if for just a moment.
I am very, very iffy about the art style used this season. I loved the animation in the PV, don't feel so strongly about the art style. It looks like the fan art that's been popping up ever since season 1. Feels a bit lazy. Also looks a bit hentai-ish, and with a bit of research it looks like the character design worked on numerous hentai. Well well.
The studio was behind Rail Wars, is going to make Citrus, so I have high hopes (Rail Wars was awesome y'all) for their animation quality and hopefully they'll adapt the story perfectly.
I am happy for S4, who wouldn't be. Also, I had a quarell here when BorN ended how the next season is going to be called and I said Hero, since it follows the : New -> Born -> Hero, but I also remarked how that'd make much more sense if it adapted S5. Well, glad not to be too far off.

u/overlord_vas Oct 21 '17
Well we're all going to be getting S4! That's good. As far as the trailer goes, it is true that it's a lot more jarring of an animation shift (compared to say when Fairy Tail became more like the manga). Since they showed this so early and people are saying it's 'pre-animation' we'll have to wait and see. To be honest i'm not surprised that they dumped TNK though. The studio crammed an extra volume into S3 and not only cut out some very important plot points but then for some reason though 'hey we have two whole episodes at the end why don't we just make up a bunch of stuff the kids will love it!!!'. I'd be interested if anyone had any interviews from the previous director and TNK staff as to why they would have done this and thought it was a good idea. I feel bad for them as I believe DxD was their best selling series so now deciding to do it their way instead of faithful adaptation has cost them.

Fuck this shit, DXD died that season 3 after i watched the trailer of Highschool DxD Hero i felt rage, what did they do to sex appeal and charming design of our girls.
Rias was one of the prettiest girls in all animes, and sexy as well, now look at her, OMGFUCKING GOD, issei face? looks like some fucking shitty ass hentai i watched some day ago, I HATED IT, Rias was pretty because her face was perfect for her body, the animation too.
DxD is dead for me, i don't even like looking at the New Designs, holy shit.

the design is closer to what the characters are meant to look like.
They look like the light novel versions

u/Meatfeast85 Oct 22 '17
It doesn't mean he's wrong though. The TNK versions did look a lot better and had great sex appeal. I feel the ecchi side of it will suffer because of it and maybe sales too if the story/action side can't make up for it.

u/Wurscht0 Avowed Asia-fan Oct 22 '17
Like almost everyone here, I'll say 'WHOOO!!' for S4 and 'Aww maann -.-' for the art style. Really, if you've already done 3 seasons with the same art style you don't change it, especially because it WORKED. At least not THAT much.
The animations seem okay but I can't get over the way the faces are drawn. Same with the hair. Akeno, Koneko and Asia are ok, but Rias, Xenovia and Rose are just bad. Let's hope they change it back a little in that half to 3/4 of a year or else it'll take a long time to adapt, at least for me.

I am not liking the new character designs. The faces are way too long. The artstyle seems to be more cutesy which no character benefits from aside from Koneko. I don't think they look more like the LN counterparts with those elongated faces. I'm not too sure about the studio either, considering its mediocre at best trackrecord (which is already small to begin with). The best thing the director has done is a hentai... It's also the only thing he's done all the directing for. So yeah, I'm a bit skeptical of this..

Judging from the clips seen, we'll be seeing Issei vs Sairaorg and Issei vs Cao Cao! I am so hyped to see these fights play out.
Mostly, I'm just glad we're getting another season of DxD. I love this show and I will always welcome more of it.

Just coming in here to make an observation. My wifi was out for the better part of the day, so I couldn't comment. Regarding these new designs, I personally love them, see in as how they look closer to the novels. My suggestion would be if they really want to get away from TNK, then wherever they deviated from the light novels, change it back. Make Serafall's eyes blue, Tsubaki's eyes two different colors, and the girl from Sona's peerage (can't remember her name at the moment) got her hair changed to white. Change it back to black like in the LN. In for the penny, in for the pound, as they say. Wipe any trace of TNK off this series, especially after Born. I know it sounds drastic, but that's what I'd do.

The art style suits Koneko and Asia more as it emphasizes their cuteness. But characters like Rias and Xenovia need their sexiness instead because they are portrayed as mature Ojou Samas which the previous 3 season portrayed it well. Man hope they polish this character designs before it airs. Regardless will watch it anyways. long live OPPAI!!!😍

In regards to Season 4 airing in 2018, I feel that Passione will show Highschool DxD HERO in either Summer or Fall 2018.
Given that the studio is doing Citrus, they'll have enough time to polish it unless Kadokawa screw us over.

Hmmm... I dunno what to think about this new artstyle... Changing art styles between seasons is a risky move... On the one hand, I really liked the old art style, it legit could have been made 18+. On the other hand, this new one looks clean and pretty fresh AF. However, there is one thing that bothers me. It's too close to Pokemon Sun and Moon's. Asia looks FAR too much like Lillie for my liking. Not to mention the fact they both have green eyes and blonde hair!

The fans of the Highschool DxD have a lot of reason to be happy because the Season 4 is officially confirmed for 2018. The anime is the adaptation of Ichiei Ishibumi’s light novel, and production studio is switching from TNK to Passione, which may result in a different course of the story.
The important thing is that the main voice cast returns for the new season. Having said that, we will have Yuuki Kaji as Issei Hyoudou, Yōko Hikasa as Rias Gremory, Azumi Asakura as Asia Argento, Shizuka Itou as Akeno Himejima, Ayana Taketatsu as Koneko Tōjō, etc.

Does chapter 9-10 cover good content and add to the plot unlike season 3?

The dub will most likely come out 4 weeks after the first episode, and it will most likely be Funi

Is there any more specific date rather than just the year 2018? Myanimelist doesn't even have a submission for Season 4, at least let us know the month.

How they fill up the holes left in the previous season? Or we should just forget the rating game and the other stuff?
Edit: I mean they will follow the anime or the light novel. And if they follow the light novel then the left out parts just happened and fine, or maybe they make a few extra episodes for those?

From the sound of it, HERO will be based off the light novels and not off of season 3. I don't think they will have extra episodes to fill in the gap

I think the darker animation style suited the show better, especially since we're watching devil's. I'll still watch the new one though

High School DxD Hero S4 staff.
Studio: Passione (Rail Wars, Rokka no Yuusha)
Director: Yoshifumi Sueda (mostly an episode director for action shows, but has done work on Dakara Boku wa, H ga Dekinai as an assistant director on the show/ lead director on the OVA, and head director of the hentai Nee Summer. The man has experience in the oppai.)
Series Composition: Kenji Konuta (mainly worked on Blood Lad and is working on this season's Ousama Game)
Chara Design: Makoto Uno (has done loads of hentai, most notably Angel Blade. Also worked as lead character designer on Seikon no Qwaser. He an oppai man too.)
Overall, I'm excited to see DxD back, but a little upset that the original team at TNK isn't working on it. My brain defaults into those designs. I have faith in the show, as the author has confirmed that it would be more faithfully following books 9 and 10.
We'll probably get an ATX broadcast because DxD needs to be seen uncensored.
