Why Does High School DXD Hero use a different studio/art style?
-
When the High School DXD Production committee created season 4, why did they switch to a different animation studio, and change the art style? Why didn't they just keep the same animation style as the first 3 seasons?
-
Short and simple. Lot of variables and behind the scene things probably went on. No idea how/why.
-
-In short, Lerche (Who did Seasons 1-3) wasn't available,
-The negativity around the end of BORN (Which the creative team actually went on the record and apologized for)
-Risa Taneda (Xenovia's Seiyu) not being available because of her medical hiatus.
-They changed the character designer so it's more along the lines of the Light Novel Illustrations nowTake your pick , any or all of these issues were a factor in that decision
-
Sounds about right @Series5Ranger but I think you mean TNK, because I don't ever recall seeing Lerche attached to DxD.

Lerche didn't do S 1-3 TNK (who is currently helping with Doreiku) did
Risa Taneda (Xenovia's Seiyu) not being available because of her medical hiatus.
Not sure what her character's relevance is to how the show is made but she is back.

lol my bad I could have sworn it was Lerche but thank you for the Clarification @classyspartan @Doublethree100

She was on her Medical Hiatus when the show was originally announced to be in production, so they may have delayed it when they found out she was progressing with her treatment.

I still don't see how the new anime design looks any more like the Light Novel designs than the old anime designs
-
Also for no reason at all they gave Rossweisse, Irina, and Xenovia random Oompa Loompa tans!
Then they changed Rias beautiful CRIMSON hair to plain red!

Have to say that I would rather the art be better. Fix the storyline with a retcon OVA and move forward. I mean that artwork sucks and Rias' hair isn't even crimson anymore. I understand about the voice actors. You can't force someone and you can't tolerate illegal behavior. I actually think they have made the roll their own rather well although Akeno could use a bit more sultry it improves towards the end of season 3. That is not to say that season 3 is all that great but, man, episode 0 artwork sucks. It lacks the details of the first 3 seasons. Someone needs to look at blood a bit more or that person was color blind af.

@Rogue9
I think they should of got the voice actress for Kurumi from Date A Live to replace Akeno's voice actress, not that the new isn't good its just Kurumi's has the "bad girl" voice down pact by default.

Alexis was Marion in season 1. One of Riser's pieces. I think a pawn. So she likely wasn't cast again in named role in case she returned in a further season. Does Riser at least reappear later? He may have been an asshole, but I did kinda like him

Some...but his little sister has a much bigger role. He also turns out to be a okay guy. In one of the OVAs Issei kind of becomes his friend
-
It would be nice if Funimation can go back, and dub the OVAs and specials.
-
would be nice, but the OVA's were bundled with Light Novel volumes
