>Season 3 completely goes off the rails trying to make it a faux harem and Rias the only girl when Ishibumi fully inteded it to be a genuine harem, among also cutting shit out to do said anime only
>So much so that Ishibumi had to make an entire LN gaiden about Issei and the harem's children going back in time to undo Season 3's anime only and had it packaged with the Season 3 DVD/Blu Rays

And he was right. The plot of DxD is absolute shit, the fanservice is the only good thing about it. The next season used the "original" plot (that may be more or less shit than the anime version, but it is hard to say when both are clearly irrelevant shit), but much worse fanservice, so the series died.

Then forgetting all that and making it a powerlevel wankfest, because the author is too incompetent to even stick with it.

Battle harem slop evolved into isekai slop. Though that trend has been dying down a little, so maybe we'll see a return to classic formulas? Or maybe we'll go beyond into an era of even sloppier slop. Ineffable slop.

Problem is the anime cuts off right after Issei finally resolves his Raynare trauma and gets more comfortable around all the girls. He becomes less autistic about receiving affection from them and the relationships begin to really flourish. The anime just wasn't able to get that far.

It's funny to see how his fucking "trauma" only appears when someone actually wants the dick, when he goes bloodhound style trying to see everyone naked and shit he's suddenly trauma-free as a newborn. I mean, you can't have it both ways, or the fucker is traumatized enough to be turned off from the idea of sex and being a harem king and shit (which he isn't, as he keeps pursuing it, getting powerups from it and screaming about it) or he isn't. I mean, the dude was basically a creepy as fuck sexual predator in formation during the earlier series and then SUDDENLY CELIBATE and "heart of gold" and crap like that. Honestly. At this point, I'd take Vali (autism and all, but understandable autism and backstory), Tobio, Sairaorg, even young Sirzechs as a protagonist rather than fucking Issei.

If you pay attention to Issei before he died, he's a lot different. He's confident, and doesn't second guess himself or doubt for a moment that Raynare likes him until the betrayal. But Raynare destroyed his self esteem and left him with nothing but his perverted fantasies. So for a while he's essentially a hollow lech. He still likes boobs but is too insecure to really believe these girls actually like him and aren't just playing around.

do people really do this? isn't that an unnecessary waste of underwear? that's like wearing underwear with swim clothes on. now they're all stinky and wet and you have to waste another pair of fresh underwear later. you don't want to walk around in wet stinky underwear after a workout. you're supposed to take all of your normal clothes off, including undies, workout in your sportswear, take a shower, then switch back to your normal clothes.

In retrospect they should've just proceeded with anime-only canon, maybe some original ending with season 4. Because the LN (like pretty much all LNs) has an aimless plot that goes fucking nowhere forever and could never be fully adapted anyway

The vast majority of harem MCs have some excuse for being a bitch. Some have been bullied since they were younger, some are just bad at reading signs, many isekai MCs are loners or outcasts who have a hard time thinking anyone would like them from their past lives. Keiichi from Ah! My Goddess has this reaction whenever Belldandy shows him affection. Hayate Ayasaki has anywhere from A-tan problems to a horrifically abusive childhood. Fuutarou Uesugi actively cultivated the image of a serious and anti-social student. Even Naruto had a hard time thinking most people legitimately are okay being friends or Hinata had feelings for him because he was a demon fox kid outcast.

Doesn't have to be well written, just have an MC that isn't an unlikable piece of shit.

top - early to mid 00s hentai
bottom - late 10s hentai

I think the coloring also didn't helped the latest one.

One change can fix everything. Add sex. Then everyone is happy.

So you admit you went into a show about a dude who has to touch boobs for superpowers, and expected good writing? lmao

What is it about this dime-a-dozen timid anime MC specifically that pisses you off so much? Does he remind you of yourself or something?

Exactly, but this is a problem for many forms of media not just anime, people approach movies like final destination thinking they have a "deep" plot when the fun of it is literally seeing people dying, and with vidja they want games to be like the last of us movie-games when games are most importantly supposed to be fun to play

You're right, but even then I'd still cut Issei more slack than most. Having a shit childhood or being bullied is one thing, but getting mocked and then murdered on a first date is just brutal. It's also a trauma specifically related to romance which I think is a fitting obstacle to overcome for a character whose ambition is to love several women.

The 3DS game which hand nipples and a planned 18+ patch. 3DS games can have nudes and we can't have a sex scene.

Insert isekai protag or other harem stories where the protag gets revived from the dead.

You're being kinda disingenuous. Yeah, lots of MCs die and get reborn as a plot device, but what happened to Issei actually served the narrative beyond just getting the story going.

It's simple. Many heavily closeted gays try too hard to chase women, trying to convince themselves they want women. These kind sometimes force themselves with many woman, even having kids, but can't bring themselves to be with any of them because they aren't men.

Heh, I'd take it all back if Issei turns out gay.
