The animation studio TNK was in charge of producing the first three seasons of the series, while the animation studio Passione took the reins for the fourth season.
High School DxD introduces us to Issei Hyoudou, a high school student portrayed as a pervert with no direction in life, whose dreams of having a harem lead him to spy on women. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when a beautiful girl asks him out on a date, only to reveal his true identity as a fallen angel and brutally murder him.
Fortunately, the story doesn’t end there, as Issei receives a second chance thanks to Rias Gremory, a senior student and first-class demon, who decides to revive him as her servant. Thus, Issei embarks on an exciting journey as he is recruited into the school’s mysterious Occult Research Club.
In this fascinating new chapter of his life, Issei must face a world full of angels and demons, where training and combat are commonplace. As she adapts to her new role and immerses herself in a sphere full of dangers and mysteries, Issei will experience exciting adventures and fun (and somewhat racy!) moments with her new and peculiar companions.
The story not only embraces the realm of the fantastic and the supernatural, but will also explore the duality between innocence and seduction. Issei must keep his new life a secret from his friends and family, creating an intricate balance between his everyday reality and the exciting and dangerous journeys that await him in this enigmatic universe.
