Not a bad episode at all, it went how I expected, few changes here and there, but nothing to major.

Issei has a dream about Oppai which turns bad really fast as Raynare shows up and pretty much mocks Issei, I never knew a dream with breasts could turn bad. Issei then learns his house has been transformed into a mansion, which looks sweeeeet.

There some part about school, and Issei hugging Asia, although confusing doing it so early, its pretty much just leading up to Diodora, who by the way has green hair, or black or indigo, or whatever.....point is its whatever.

Issei and friends then go to the underworld, because they are being called for a rating game along the way the meet Sona and the Sitri group, foreshadowing something a major event hmmmm, or he could just be there to be there.

More stuff happens along the way as a dragon appears, and is pretty much able to defeat all of the Gremory group except Rias, who was watching from afar with Azazel, who reveals it was all set up, and it was his good buddy Tannin, whuuuuttt that's Tannin looks pretty cool.

A bath scene happens with Kiba, Gasper, Azazel, and Issei in one shower and the girls in the other, which begs the question why the girls bath can see the boys as they are just on a higher view, and the boys can't see them, I don't know I always thought of this scene with a wall or something stopping them seeing each other.

The episode ends with a strange girl, and Biko, talking about Koneko.

So this episode was good I liked it a lot. The animation was well done The fight was nice, there wasn't too much fanservice and the plot is actually dare I say better.

Oh yea side note, very disappointed in the Arthur look, I thought he was someone with broad shoulders, muscles, he just looked like a hero you would expect intimidating really, then I see it and....don't know I was pretty disappointed at the design, and how weak looking he looks. Maybe the design will grow on me, but for now, I am really disappointed in it. Oh well all other designs look how I expected or just freaking even more awesome then I thoughts.
