According to Fujimishobo, Ishibumi Ichiei's light novel "Highschool DxD" was announced to be getting an anime adaptation.

Highschool DxD novel official website

A manga adaptation has been serialized in Monthly Dragon Age.

Synopsis:
Hyodo Issei is a (pervert) high school boy. When he goes out on a date with his first girlfriend Asano Yuma, he is killed by her. Her true identity is Reinare, a fallen angel sent by a secret society Grigori to eliminate dangerous divine weapons. Issei is reincarnated as a devil by his senpai Rias Gremory, a Duke of Hell. Issei serves as Rias's low rank devil and fights against the fallen angels.

Smells like another stupid harem with ecchi all the way and lolis here and there in a supernatural setting. Won’t watch.
I think, then procrastinate.
Therefore, I am.

Seems like "pervert" is written all over the series. Makes sense. Seemed somewhat interesting but not anymore.

Though exactly the same :D

Well the designs are to my liking, the girls looks nice, I just hope that if there will be ecchi, it will be of good quality. And damn that girl with white hair+cat ears in the official site looks so cute <3

If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

I mistook this as "highschool of the dead" at first.

But I'll most likely be skipping this when it airs, sounds like the usual ecchi stuff. I might change my mind as more stuff starts getting released though.

Eh, the concept reminds me a bit too much of Kore wa Zombie desu ka? but with less interesting character gimmicks.

I also misread this as Highschool of the Dead...and suddenly really yearned for a sequel. :(

Well, after Fractale, i realized how calling the main character a pervert all of the time can really drag an anime with a genuinely good concept down, mostly because they wasting time that could be used for proper character/world development on pervert jokes.

As for this... I will wait for the studio/director announcement and which anime it will be lining up against before deciding. It doesn't sound very good, but good staff can make a massive difference.

Plot is pretty similar to Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi.Both have school boys killled then resurrected by a female demon/vampire as their servants though this one looks a bit more ecchi oriented compared to other one.

I agree it was a little overdone, but Clain wasn't just randomly labeled a pervert. Really only Enri referred to him as such, and only because she had feelings for him and was upset that he didn't appear to return them, and so called him a pervert all the time. It wasn't wasted time (at least, not the first couple of times), it was character development.

With that being said this looks awful. I mean, the concept sounds boring and unoriginal and I'm really uninterested by the character designs. That doesn't mean it can't be good, but the best I can see it being is just another supernatural high school (also ecchi) anime. Of course, I haven't read the light novels so I can't be sure? I guess I'll plan not to watch it and then if everyone says it's really good I'll give it a try.

The manga world is overrun by the yaoi fangirls.

The anime world is overrun by the ecchi fanboys.

What's new?
I am grateful that people often write "bare" when they mean "bear" and vice versa. Because it makes what they said even funnier.

When a moderator says a thing of such magnitude the least he/she could do is provide some form of explanation. Or am I safe to assume that if I use any of these anime's art as avatar/signature I will be banned since it is against the rules to upload any "offensive" images to the site and use them as user and club images (General Forum Guidelines; rule 3)?
If so, you should edit this sites' rules and correctly and formally elucidate that this site's definition of "offensive art" includes anything related to the Light Novel/Upcoming anime 'Highschool DxD' so no misunderstandings can be made.
