After being removed previously, the first two seasons of High School DxD have returned to Hulu. The show is now available in full as some missing episodes have been filled in and it’s set for viewing in either the original Japanese language form or English dubbed. Funimation has released the first two seasons on DVD/BD in North America and has simulcast the third season along with creating a Broadcast Dub for it.
Originally airing in the winter 2012 season, the show was directed by Tetsuya Yanagisawa based on the series composition and scripts from Takao Yoshioka. Based on the original work by Ichiei Ishibumi and Miyami-Zero, the character designs were adapted by Junji Goto who also served as the chief animation director. It was animated by TNK.

Plot concept: A war between heaven and hell is raging on Earth – and a hot mess of hormonal fury is raging in Issei’s pants. The guy is dying to get some action. Which is funny, since his first date ever turns into a winged monster and tries to kill him. Fortunately, ridiculously curvy redhead Rias comes to his rescue. She’s president of The Occult Research Club, a club that doesn’t actually research the occult. They ARE the occult – and Rias is a Devil. Rias takes Issei as a more-than-willing slave and begins training him to use magic in battle against the Fallen Angels, the long-time enemies of Devils everywhere. If Issei can improve his mystical skills, he’ll be able to help his hotter-than-hell master and her scorching supernatural schoolgirl friends defeat their foes. Even better, he might end up with a few sexy slaves of his own.
