Synopsis

*High School DxD New OVA* is a special, unaired episode released as a bonus with the limited edition of **High School DxD DX.1**. Set within the same action-packed, supernatural, and ecchi-leaning world, it offers an additional side story for fans of the franchise’s school-life, romance, and harem antics.

Otaku Consensus

High School DxD New OVA lands as a lean fan-only extra rather than disposable filler: TNK’s brisk one-episode format preserves the franchise’s strongest mix of shameless ecchi timing, supernatural-mythology flavor, and cast chemistry. The positive reception mirrors the larger DxD consensus, with fans praising its unusually steady pacing for a harem battle series and its characters being easier to care about than the genre norm; the recurring criticism is that the cheesiness and R+-leaning nudity can overpower the action for viewers who want the mythology played straight.

Why You Should Watch

Watch this if you want the unapologetic ecchi-harem charge of To Love-Ru with more battle-shounen momentum, and you already enjoy DxD’s mix of school comedy, supernatural factions, and romantic chaos. This OVA is not the place to start the franchise; it works best as a compact reward for viewers who know Issei’s group dynamics and want another TNK-era dose of the cast without committing to a full season. Its appeal is precision-targeted: fast pacing, familiar voices, breast-joke bravado, and the series’ trademark habit of treating absurd fan service and demon-world stakes as equally important. If you like harem anime that refuses to apologize for being horny but still gives its characters emotional weight, this scratches that exact itch.

Key Characters

I
Issei Hyoudou(VA: Yuuki Kaji)
Issei remains the franchise’s key tonal gamble: a hero whose shameless libido is played for comedy, but whose loyalty is why fans keep taking him seriously.
R
Rias Gremory(VA: Youko Hikasa)
Rias is the anchor of DxD’s harem appeal, balancing aristocratic supernatural authority with the romantic warmth that gives the cast its emotional center.
A
Asia Argento(VA: Azumi Asakura)
Asia brings the gentler side of the series into focus, often discussed by fans as the character who keeps DxD from becoming pure lewd spectacle.
A
Akeno Himejima(VA: Shizuka Itou)
Akeno’s popularity comes from her controlled, teasing presence, which lets the show push ecchi comedy while still giving the ensemble a sharper supernatural edge.

What Makes It Stand Out

1
The OVA was released as an unaired bonus with the limited edition of High School DxD DX.1, making it a piece of side material aimed at existing franchise followers rather than a broadcast-season episode.
2
TNK is the credited studio, placing this special in the visual era associated with the early High School DxD anime before the later franchise studio shift that fans often compare against.
3
Its one-episode structure changes the rhythm: instead of building a full arc, it concentrates the franchise’s comedy, harem tension, and supernatural flavor into a short bonus designed for immediate payoff.
4
The wider DxD reception consistently singles out pacing as a strength, with fan commentary noting that its hodgepodge of mythologies moves faster than many battle shounen despite the heavy fan-service load.
5
For an unaired OVA, its database footprint is unusually strong: it holds a 7.27 MAL score from 97,863 votes, with a popularity ranking of #1551.

Fun Facts & Trivia

Fun fact 1: The full Japanese subtitle, High School DxD New: Oppai, Tsutsumimasu!, openly foregrounds the franchise’s running breast-centric humor before the episode even starts.
Fun fact 2: It was released on March 10, 2015, as a single finished episode rather than as part of a televised cour.
Fun fact 3: The special’s MAL rank is #3316, which is notable for a bonus OVA tied to a limited-edition light-novel release rather than a standard TV season.
Fun fact 4: The main credited cast includes Yuuki Kaji as Issei Hyoudou, Youko Hikasa as Rias Gremory, Shizuka Itou as Akeno Himejima, Azumi Asakura as Asia Argento, and Kenji Nojima as Yuuto Kiba.
Fun fact 5: Critical and fan writeups repeatedly frame DxD as more than an ecchi punchline, praising character development, enjoyable antagonists in the broader franchise, and a mythology mash-up that gives the fan service a larger playground.
