| LuckyTrouble said: I would argue that Trinity Seven had no more episodes of actual plot relevance than High School DxD did in its first cour. IIRC, the Asia bit was in the first cour of High School DxD, and that surpassed pretty much everything present in Trinity Seven. Both of them were guilty of veering off into the realm of near pointless amounts of fan service for the sake of making an often stupid joke, though DxD's fan service is far superior. I would give Trinity Seven credit for its plot if it didn't pretty much suck. I mean, just about every conflict was resolved through either a half assed action scene, or a crappy attempt at drama. I could see Trinity Seven ending up somewhere decent if it continued on, but after the mediocre nature of the first season, I expect absolutely nothing from it in the future. On a related note, although some people crap on High School DxD season three for rearranging events and such, it turns out the author was actually the one that had things rearranged and changed for the anime. So I guess it wasn't the studio's fault that things got a bit iffy (though it was their fault that animation took a step back). I'm sure this is old news, but it was new to me as I was browsing around the other night. |
The difference between Trinity Seven and High School DxD in terms of content relevance and plot structure is that of a great rift. With Trinity Seven we at least get to know the protagonists main goals/revelations/established enemies and that he is making definite clear progress. In the three cours of High School DxD, I've yet to figure out what the Occult Research Club's general aim is or whatever the storyline's main purpose is. High School DxD has a big universe however it's never used for anything meaningful aside from the protagonist's harem. It doesn't matter who's fanservice sucked or sucked less, fanservice is just fanservice and because of that I don't care to argue about it one bit how well/bad it's done since it's a matter of opinion ...
I've yet to delve in the Trinity Seven manga (Occupied with Gunslinger Girl) but it's clear as day that it's much more organized whereas High School DxD is a never ending pit as far as I'm concerned. It's not to say that High School DxD is bad per se but it just has issues opposite to Trinity Seven. Not to be totally one sided here but I do acknowledge that the author of DxD handles the character's quite a bit better ...
