Not sure how i feel about this episode.

I like how they're going off onto their own story, instead of, again, just copying the LN. But at the same time, the fanboy inside of me is screaming that the source material was so good, it didn't need this. Im just curious how this works out, since it's such a major main story change, and whether it'll try go back to the LN again, without any repercussions.

I like how they slightly added the story from vol.8 into the anime, with Ajuka changing the EP inside of Issei, although he didn't explain what happened. *sarcastic voice* Guess it'll have to be answered next season then.... *sigh*.

Was caught off-guard with Azazel giving Asia the Fafnir SG, didn't see it coming since it's further into the LN, but it doesn't bother me.... And i was kinda expected Issei have to fight his clone as well, but that kinda just died out, for some reason. Instead, we get Rias in a skimpy version of his BB instead. Ass and all.

And at last, THE ROSSWEISE EYECATCHERS ARRIVED. I was expecting them ages ago, but it makes more sense for it to be the end. Obviously, we'll have Rias eyecatchers next episode.

Also, I feel like the LN and Anime have influenced one another in the story arc, but not sure which way it was..... You'll understand if you read the Vol.20 spoilers.

Ratings.

Animation: 8/10. Some of the faces were kinda weird if you ask me.

Story: 9/10. Good story, for a anime-original perspective. LN fanboys will cry/rage out. Interested how this last episode goes.

Fanservice: 8/10. A far bit of fanservice, with a quite exposed Rose eyecatchers, and skimpy Rias BG. Who doesn't love that?

Fights: 7/10. Wasn't much there, but it'll be more next episode than this one.

Overall: 8/10. Interesting episode, but not for the LN diehards. Was more of a filler episode than anything. Still, i'm interested to the Finale.....
