Agreed

Edit: Actually i don't think that's possible, he's currently banned.

This episode. I can see why the Oppai Dragon was cut(hasn't been recorded yet)in favor of what transpired. Yet the JD transformation and the carnage that followed, that was really something. Also, to keep playing on Issei's fear and Raynare who still haunts his mind, along with Rias being the catalyst to bring him back from the brink, I have zero complaints with the changes.

So they decided to do less WTF moments not bad

[II Maestro]

So that's what JD looks like for red & white.

The WTF moment of volume 7 was confirmed to happen by Ishibumi, so my guess is that they will connect both moments. If they do that, I'll need to buy new sides on the black market.

@EDIT: Just watched it raw.

God. Fucking. Dammit.

I find it funny how one of the best scenes in the entire season is anime original. Seriously, that moment with Ise hallucinating with Asia and Reynare was like shoving a rusty knife in my heart and twisting it nonstop. Ouch.

This was beyond words. It was just pure awesomeness. JD looked a lot more terrifying than I thought it would. Being 5 meters tall probably helps.

And Great Red has 4 fucking wings. That's badass. I don't know why, but it is.

DxD/10

There's an official PV with it. It's pretty damn awesome.

This episode, I don't know what to say about it. I can't think straight after watching it in raws. Too many outside influences.

What do you mean ?? You have your own reaction for this episode i believe

[Archilla]

This episode delivered on every level from what I expect out of the anime.

Damn, they did JD justice. That was Wu-Tang Clan levels of ain't nuthin to fuck with.

10/10. Keep delivering TNK, and I think this is the beggining of a beautiful friendship...

Of course I have a reaction. I just can't put it into words until I watch it again with subs and uncensored. As of now, I still have conflicting thoughts about the episode. Hopefully they get sorted out later.

[Wandering Soul]

A truly awesome episode. JD was truly done justice.

[Om Nerabdator]

hmm they seemed to focus on that dark thing inside him alot, maybe theyll do what some adaptations do and have a non canon arc for the finale involving that black mist.

Or it could of simply been his dark feelings reynare put in him getting ousted by rias

It'll be more of a mixture of anime original and canon material.

[DmonHiro]

Yup, JD was great. But now that I think about it, why DID Shelba send Asia to the void anyway? Why didn't he just blast her?

It would be more excruciating to die in the void
