Episode 3
Indeed one of the only shows that could get away with this, and also the serious matter of which nipple to press was very fitting. I am glad we did not have to go through some sort of Koneko retrieval Arc. And I enjoyed all these new characters, was pretty easy to guess that one guy would be called Loki.

I pretty much have the same words for this as I had in my final review of Testament. Censoring a show that relies heavily on ecchiness is like cutting out the action scenes in an action series. Would someone watch such a series?
And it is one of the few things I actually anticipated this season, too, but no... not like this. |
Put your money where your mouth is and buy the discs when they come out. Those won't be censored. The first 2 sets weren't; I don't see why the 3rd would be.

It's situations like these where I feel zero guilt for downloading fansubs. If official sources aren't going to give it to us the way it was meant to be seen then it's their own fault we have to resort to piracy.
That said, they'll still get my money when I by their blu rays. But that'll be like 2 years from now.

Western licensees should demand uncensored versions from the production committees, since technically it meant for all regions but Japan. But that'll never happen, and Japan will preempt by saying piracy would hurt disc sales, same thing that supposedly killed hentai licensing.

I also really doubt Funi cares. I mean, I can say "I'm going to download fansubs," but they've already got my money for the subscription. It costs them the ad revenue from the people who wait a week, and the subscription revenue from the people who would subscribe specifically for this particular show. I don't know if that's a whole lot.

Episode 4:
So we get Rossweisse in her armor this time. I think she looks good here in terms of character design/style.
It looks like we get more Loki trouble as well. Does this guy ever not cause some chaos? The action was pretty decent though imo with a variety of attacks displayed this episode. Not going to lie though, Loki's powers does impress me quite a bit.

Cat for Koneko is great. Actually there were some pretty cool moments like Akane's half fallen angel form, and Irina's angel form.

Episode 5:
Meh, this episode skipped some stuff but I still liked the drama content of it. In particular, we have Akeno and Issei which imo makes a fun duo to watch; she has quite a past though and her father....
Got mixed feelings on Fenrir as well this episode. I liked how the episode captured Akeno's emotions though.

The tutoring scene went all wrong. There was a lack of stockings and glasses. I'm disappointed. Other than that, I really liked this episode. It's good on the plot development and there was quite a fair amount of PLOT as well.
I do have a question that involves minor spoilers from the LN regarding a scene in this episode. During the scene where Akeno is about to seduce Issei, a sudden voice appears. My question is [minor LN SPOILER question here]did they hint at issei's power to speak to breasts here? I had heard he gained this power sometime but I forgot the exact time he obtained it.

Episode 5
I just loved this episode so much. Akeno and Issei being my favourite two characters, it was great for it to be devoted about them and their "relationship". Also seeing Akeno in her normal clothes pretty much gave me a heart attack from the utter cuteness.
I just wanted to help console her too after learning of her terrible past and give her a big hug. But once again Issei and his power over breasts helped with the problem. Akeno and Barkiel relationship also seems to now be on the up.
Episode 1 (English Dub)
With the numerous VA changes I thought I'd check out the dub and managed to find it in it's uncensored glory. I have to admit that Josh was fantastic as Issei, even if I do prefer Scott overall.
Kelly as Akeno completely threw me at first. Her voice is "too cute" if that makes any sense. Teri had Akeno right with the sultry seductive tone which made her stand out compared to Jamie's Rias.
I thought that who ever is voicing Kuroka did a fine job of making her a rather seductive Nekomata too.
In all, I can probably live with the changes when it comes to buying it on Blu-ray but Akeno's VA will take some getting used too. (She's jumping in at Season 3 so I guess I can cut her some slack.)

Episode 6:
There's not much action this week except well...for Issei that is. Xenovia and her planning never ceases to amuse me. Glad to see more of Irina s well.
Decent buildup I guess.

Episode 6
It is kind of good where this series has come to. Issei is still a perve, but he is still chivalrous, people just accept it as a side of him without looking too far down on him. Unfortunately for the dragon, Issei's reputation has made him something beyond being feared. That was funny, he is the boob dragon. Everyone is largely friends now, even with Irina on board. And there is an increase in accepting themselves, Koneko was much more affectionate than before, now turning Issei lap into her seat.

Finally my long awaited Irina eye catch. Kinda disappointed but that might be because my anticipation levels were too high. I think swapping the poses would have been better.

Episode 7:
Mm, I thought the buildup was delicious in terms of the outfits and ways the girls are getting Issei for his upcoming battles. Kuroka also seems to have taken an interest in him so watch out Koneko
The action in the second half was alright I suppose. Some trash talking involving Diodora and his side. Looks like the fighting will continue next time so I'm prepared for more action.
