User blog comment:B214/High School DxD BorN Episode 10 Review/@comment-24421137-20150607023645

Well I am sure Jop is busy with things.....

Anyways lets do the review, as I did not do a review of last weeks I will give a brief summary of my opinions of it.

I didn't like it, why it was all hype and what we got from it, was disappointing to say the least, fights wise at least. I mean first Sirzechs vs Creuserey I really wanted to see Sirzech's fight, as I enjoy his fighting style, yea I knew Creuserey was going to get spanked, but I just wanted to see a bit more then just, here is a ball of destruction, don't move and just take it....ok, then he just dies. Next was the disappointment of the Juggernaut vs Juggernaut thing, they clashed for a second and then Vali bites into him and that was that.

It did some good like the chants and Issei's rage was pretty awesome even the Juggernaut's rampage was pretty good. Shalba vs Juggernaut was awesome, I mean all of that was really good, the fights however weren't and I believe that was supposed to be the bread and butter of this episode.

Result:6/10

Disappointing is all I can say for this episode, it got things right but things it got wrong were pretty big, and it took some of the enjoyment out of the episode for me.

Ok since I am feeling really lazy right now, the next will be the same.

I liked this one, it was good and interesting to see basically a newer version of Dxd as this is an anime original. I liked Issei realizing about Raynare and what was stopping him, nice touch so it really did do a nice job there as well as creating a situation where Kuroka is needed to get her a bit of a bigger role.

I also really liked how they gave Asia the spot light it was really done well, better even in the anime then the Novel in my opinion. I mean look at it in the Novel after the leg race Issei and Asia go to the back and kiss, because of a plan that was probably made up by Rias. But in this anime version, Asia took initiative herself after healing Issei she herself decided to kiss him taking the opportunity. Also she did have a relatively nice growth in power showing that she can heal someone in depth rather then just long range and short range, sort of like a broken heart situation type of deal. So bonus for the anime actually getting me to dislike Asia a little less.

Honestly the only problems I had with this is, Rossweisse not even beginning to get to Kuoh academy when the explosion happened. Teleportation is your friend Rossweisse.

But besides that, ridiculous notion I made up, every thing else was good. Probably my favorite episode so far, although nothing can beat episode eight's eyecatch. Serafall .....this will be the last mention of Serafall's eyecatch.

Result:9/10

I don't believe in giving out decimals, if I did I am employing the policy now.
