Unboxing [US]: High School DxD New - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

It's time for more BOOSTO! with the second season of High School DxD, uncut and uncensored for Blu-ray and DVD.


High School DxD New is an continuation to High School DxD and contains another 12 episodes in this ecchi light novel adaptation. The TV series was animated by TNK once again and this show aired during the 2013 season.

This version I have for the show is the US Limited Edition set from Funimation. The limited edition sets contains the episodes on both formats (each format separated across two slim Blu-ray cases) and a chipboard artbox. Once again the OVAs (Episodes 13 and 14) are not included in this set but given there's another one airing in 2015 it's safe to assume Funimation will be waiting for more of them (or at least the last of them) to be released and accessible for licensing - given OVAs are incredibly hard to pick up.

The discs are region free to European and Australian owners - in other words they are also region B, 2 & 4 compatible. The set also contains unlockable subtitles during playback.

Another thing to note, the Limited Edition version is now sold out which was predictable given Season 1 sold out quite soon after its initial release. I also made an unboxing of that set if you want to have a look.
