You are a stronger man than I. Couldn't handle. I read on reddit that if DxD gets greenlight for S4 they will go back to doing 2 vols per season. That's even more baffling to me lol.

Well most people speculate the reason they did 3 volumes this season was so we don't have season 4 end on volume 9 or a potential season 5 end on volume 11. But eh, who knows.
I'd be very surprised if they did 3 vols next season though (assuming we get a fourth season) because there's so much content in vol 9 and 10 that cramming vol 11 in there would be next to impossible. Although after this season i guess they aren't scared to butcher the story to cram more volumes in, so who knows.
Not to mention volume 11 would be such a bad volume to end on, lmao.

Well they didn't just do 3 vols this season but also threw in the big climax of vol 10 into it for some unknown reason. They could have done a decent job of doing 3 vols even with the switcharoo with the event order but decided to cram 3 vols into less than 1 season. To me that just reeks of "we won't be doing anything more so here's some kind of climax of their relationship".
I'm surprised they even talking about S4. Feels like the studio itself is about to die with how dumb they did this season. Either that or they will lose the property to another studio and felt like fucking it up out of revenge.

at least mashiro brought some laughs even if you wanted to punch her in the face. aiz doesn't do anything.

Sadly(or luckily depending on how you look at it), the sales still look to be fine. It's not as good as season 1 or 2 but still seems to be alright. Still far far better than anything else TNK has made. (Season 1 and 2 averaged at about 10k, season 3 seems to be in the 5-8k range)
I mean the author even says he and the studio have been talking about making an anime original movie.. so who knows.
But yeah i don't get it, now the drama leading up to the climax of volume 10 will be even more dumb.
Edit: Worst part was that the anime original shit was drama, i just want my trashy fun oppai-shenanigans. And i wanted chichigami. Who would've thought that removing a literal deus ex machina event would fuck up the story so hard, lol.

Aiz and Eina have probably done the most for the MC outside of Hestia giving him her grace.

Its weird, normally you guys are collectively more tolerant of stupid romcom shows like Sakurasou than I am, but somehow it seems like I tolerated it more than the majority? I didn't particularly have any major issues with the grills in Sakurasou.

Mashiro and Aoyama were ok for me.

To be fair, Aiz did help the MC train so there's that (for above comment). Sakurasou was fine. I liked Mashiro and all the characters for the most part.

Don't worry it's short. maybe but I shouldn't have to read the spinoff manga to tell you she isn't boring. Anime should've found a way to incorporate that in or at least show us otherwise but they apparently failed at that.

I don't think she was boring even in the anime. She didn't even get much actual time because the mc literally ran away from her the 1st 3 times they met. She's low key yes because she has her own goal and is sticking to it. But if you pay attention she is far from boring. She certainly is better than Syr and only Ryuu really rivals her.

Tolerance levels ebb and flow. You should know that by now.

Sakurasou was neither comedy or romantic. It was just angst for angst sake with fan service autism-chan. That and the whole "hard work means nothing if you have no talent" combined with the childhood friend suffering hardon the author had makes it unbearable for me.

I don't get how people can say Aizu is boring. Perhaps she's too stoic or kuu for some of your liking but she's done enough in the anime for a girl in a harem series that the MC constantly dodges. Bell literally runs and rolls away from her the first few times they cross paths and she is the only real love interest he has. (Syr and Eina have dropped hints, Syr more so, but Bell hasn't even received the message yet)
What I don't get is how so many of you are head over heels for Syr. Granted, I like Syr too from a design perspective but she's done the least out of the Danmachi cast. She confessed but too many of you are giving her more props than she deserves. No one even mentions Eina in the past few pages and even she's done more in the animu than Syr. I seriously want to write it off as the Meido Effect at this point.
"teehee, come with me Bell..." /proceeds to make MC-kun wash dishes
rofl wtf plz That and her early confession is the only thing Syr has going for her. At least Ryuu got a backstory yet hardly any of you mention her.

+ Show Spoiler + Aiz has barely begun to like Bell in that way so using the early confession by Syr as a point in her favor is unfair IMO. Besides has Syr given him a lap pillow? :3

I didn't expect so many people to hate it, given there is a ton of stuff much worse that people apparently love.

Sakurasou anime I also completed and it was eh ok. Somewhat cringe at times but I didn't hate it. I also read the LN ending spoilers and I'm ok with it, although it makes people rage even more from what I've seen/heard reactions of.

HS DXD + Show Spoiler + I don't get how any shows can ever justify memory loss. It's such a dumb mechanic in itself. Unless you're trying to write a story on brain diseases or amnesia, then magical memory loss is just.....
I don't get how this setup a future arc either but hopefully TNK just goes back to faithful 2 or 3(if needed) volumes adaptions

Are we supposed to assume Ryu likes Bell? There was zero indication that she likes him and that match makes no sense, even in harem standards.
Ryu is pretty stand alone and has sufficient background to not be tied to Bell for "harem's sake". Plus her bestie is Syr, and we all know Syr is the only real contender to Aiz (next to Eina).
Also Syr has done a lot for Bell. She made him bentos, confessed her love, AND gave him FIRE-BOLTO.
