posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Crunchyroll announced on Thursday that it is adding the High School DxD anime to its catalog. The 12-episode anime is available now to users in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Ireland.
The anime adapts author Ichiei Ishibumi and illustrator Miyama-Zero's original light novel series of the same name. The light novels and anime center on Issei Hyōdō, 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.
Ishibumi and Miyama-Zero launched the light novel series in 2008, and Kadokawa released the 23rd novel volume on March 18.
The first anime adaptation premiered in Japan in 2012, and the second series, High School DxD New, premiered in July 2013. The third series, High School DxD BorN, premiered in April 2015. FUNimation Entertainment released all three series on home video in North America.
A new television anime is in the works.
