User blog comment:Jopjopjop/High School DxD BorN episode 3 review/@comment-24421137-20150419040959

Alrighty just got done watching the episode, late I know. So lets do this.

So we start off with Koneko standing in front of her sister, and Rias remembering how Koneko looks at herself as the weakest one on the team, has the potntial to make that untrue, but doesn't want to end up like her sister. good stuff there nothing wrong with that.

We see part of the Odin and Sirzechs meeting along with the other satans, so nothing wrong there, Serafall turns into her Magical outfit, and Rossweisse cries about never having a boyfriend, good there as well, except for the weirdest hand wave I have seen in any anime, with Irina waving her hand awkwardly to Asia and Xenovia, that looked weird as heck. Besides that it was all good I guess.

Kuroka then tries to get Koneko to join, when Bikou shows up pointing out that Issei and Rias were there.

We then jump to the meeting again, and Loki appears, honestly I have no problem with this design, I don't know why some other people do, I don't I think it looks fantastic especially for someone like Loki. Loki then challenges Odin pact with the devils, and such, and then brings out his son, who looks terrible at first glance, but may look awesome when we see his full body, so the jury still out on his design.

We jump back to the Issei scene, where Tannin follows Issei, and then fights with Bikou, Rias then gives a speech, which wasn't memorable at all as it is just her basically saying she won't give Koneko up, like she did with Kiba, so it was pretty boring. Koneko then decides never to go with Kuroka, and Issei decides to fight

Jump back to Loki's fight, and honestly I like Fenrir's appearance, it wild and beastly, something you would expect from him when he first appears. Fenrir nearly kills Akeno, but she is saved by Barakiel, but doesn't thank, further making you wonder why Akeno hates her own father so much.

Issei tries to activate his boosted gear, but is unable to as it is nearly about to go into Balance breaker mode. Issei then realizes that he needs Rias' breast in order to awaken his power, and the scene flopped for me. Unfunny and just wasn't funny. Anyways Issei goes BB and beats shows how strong he is, Kuroka and Bikou then leaves. Oh yea and Loki leaves because his attack wasn't well planned out at all, why he wouldn't attack while it was just baraquiel guarding Odin is beyond me but whatever the god of trickery is not a good at thinking things through.

Koneko is later seen bathing with the other girls of ORC and is firm in her conviction to be strong. Issei and Rias then walk together, and the most creepiest thing I have ever heard Rias utter is here, "I am always watching you".... That is not comforting at all. I know what she meant, but I would be weirded either way but issei wasn't and took it as comforting words.

Final scene meeting with the other factions and Odin decides to take responsibility for Loki's actions.

Ok another long review, promise not to make a habit of it, this episode was pretty disappointing, Loki didn't plan a thing out I guess interrupting was enough, but that was just dumb, and then the fight with Issei and Kuroka wasn't that good either as well as Bikou and Tannin, felt like it was buffed over, but its not like it was that big in the LN so I can't blame the anime for it. Lastly the part I thought was going to be funny disappointed so all in all it left a bad taste in my mouth.

Overall: 6/10 Leaving it to be average.
