High School DxD -- Off the list!

I don't care how much nudity they've packed into the show. If this post is accurate, and I have no reason to think it isn't, then the show is vile and not worth being watched.

Sounds like it's going to rank down there with Milk Vampires on the "really rank" scale. No, thanks!

Which leaves me with just Mouretsu Pirates for this season -- which is still an improvement over the last one, where I had nothing at all.

UPDATE: The sad thing is that High School DxD will probably do very well. After all, Milk Vampires got a sequel.

1 Come on, don't be like that. There is always a submarine hit in every season.

There wasn't one for me in the fourth cour of 2011. Or the third, for that matter.

I'm sure there will be other people who find shows this season that they really like. But this blog is about my preferences, and right now it looks like I'm down to only one show. For which I'm grateful; it's better than nothing.

3 Ah well, I was hoping it would be better.  I'm trying to start a discussion on my anime blog about the concept of zombie soldiers.  A theme I've noticed goes back at least as far as 3x3 Eyes, where the hero is a dead man resurrected and enslaved by some woman, in exchange for supernatural power.

4 Did you sample Chihayafuru last season and not care for it?  Seems like the kind'a show you might have liked.  (I don't recall you ever mentioning it one way or the other.)

5 You're both misinterpreting it. The scene from the manga is this. Issei is fantasizing about his servants being like the triplets in Hanaukyo Maid Team and not considering them being unwilling. He can't force anyone to be in his harem like the reviewer feared because the contract has to be entered willingly and the devil must give the contractor something of equal value. For a servant, that usually means saving their life like Rias did for Issei. Issei is so low-powered he has trouble doing simple contracts, so him having servants is a long way off.

From the comments on the post, "Hmmm, apparently Gremori or Gamori, is the 56th Spirit of Goetia and the Demon of Perverted Love. So I guess that totally applies to our main protagonist. Nice to see that some of this is based on "Historical” fiction. "
