Did not see this on on the Masterlist yet. Another new series due for Winter 2012, Highschool DxD. To be honest, I never heard of this title until someone directed me toward the Light Novels and Manga (which I still haven't attempted to read yet), and now, ready for Anime adaption of its own. Here the premise:
Synopsis
The story follows Issei HyÅdÅ, a dim-witted, lecherous second-year high school student who is killed by a girl on his first date ever. Issei is reincarnated as a devil, and from that day forward, he serves as an underling of Riasu, a high-level devil who is also the prettiest girl on Issei's campus.
Definitely worth a glance the first time around if nothing else. Exact release date has not been specificed, but expect it sometime in the Winter.

Mod Edit: I edited the title to inform everyone that a second season is currently in production. - Gambler
For starters the synopsis/story doesn't mean much to me, since I don't usually judge a series based of the little info provide, and also since I haven't read the novels.
What I am really happy, and at the same time upset about is that I will get to see an anime whose source material was illustrated by Miyama-Zero, but its not Kanojotachi no Ryuuji, oh how I wish that would be adapted for TV ;_;
None the less I am interested in this, and I'll look forward to this.

I just said it was worth taking a look at, I didn't say based on the synopsis. I give everything a fair chance and try to watch the 1st ep at least, so that is what I meant. Like I said before, I haven't read either the manga or light novel, but since this is coming out I will not bother until it ends. Won't have my expectations up or anything, lol.
[font=verdana][color=green]Who else was instantly reminded of Rosario+Vampire and To Love-Ru? I bet it will be the exact same as these; expect to see some unnecessary angst in the last couple of episodes when the relationship between the main character and main female character is jeopardised for some obscene reason.
Well, 1st Episode is out. Don't even ask me why it is a director cut.
Spoiler:
Eh, it was alright - interesting if nothing else like all 1st episodes. I still haven't read any of the material for series so not even sure how close it is to the Manga or LN. Never seen a protagonist thinking of grabbing breast as he is dying, lol. Still have to check it out for a few more episodes to tell if I will put this one on hold, since this one was just the setup.
As for Director cut, I think it called that for the little censorship. Little referring to being able to see boobs, but still some white light (in the case of Rias removing her panties). It was an AT-X rip episode, so might not be the reason.
I'm honestly surprised that they used a "realistic" boobs SFX, rather then the usual boing-boing.. lol
Skin meets skin SFX... XD
My thoughts exactly, at first when Rias was undressing to take a shower I heard the SFX and was like, "what!! O.o" Then at the end of the episode when you hear them again I had the same reaction again. While I do welcome a new SFX over the older typical ones, I wonder if other shows will use it as a new oppai SFX.
