Do you think the progression of DxD was too fast? I mean, we start this show with Issei being a low class devil who knew nothing of the supernatural and could barely manipulate his own demonic energy yet in less than a year he's capable of fighting against high class and ultimate class devils. I know technically Issei has a long way to go (since he isn't even in the top 10 yet) but still, in less than a year even Gods see him as a challenge.

I don't watch a lot of anime but from the series I have watched I didn't notice them progressing so fast. Like DBZ has alot of time skips but still, even fairy tail progresses nicely (however Natsu and others were already pretty strong when the series began), hell even SAO first season lasted 3 years.

The one thing I liked about Naruto and felt they did right (f- those fillers) was the progression. I mean we start the show with Naruto and the other characters as nothing but children who barely had any power yet even after a 3 year time skip you see Naruto isn't that impressive (and was something even mentioned in the series that Naruto had to work through after realizing how strong Sasuke had become) it isn't until he trains and fights against the like of Pain and others that you really see Naruto grow and become the hero of the story but issei? After the first season, 2nd volume, you see he has already made a strong name for himself by beating Riser Phenex a high class devil who was capable of survivng blasts of the Power of Destruction because of his incredible regeneration and then from there you see him grow much more powerful in such a short amount of time even defeating the son of Lucifer (to be fair he was exhausted because of fafnir).

Even Goku, who despite coming from a race of powerful warriors, had to trained to become such a badass since he was a child. We even watch him lose multiple tournaments and fights in DB (losing to Master Roshi, Tein, even Mr Popo).

I really hated the fight between Sairaorg and Issei. This was one of my pet peeves of the series. Sairaorg had trained since he was a child to be stronger and to take back his clan yet Issei, in less than a year was able to defeat him. Where's his justice for all his hard work? Even the fight against Vali pissed me off a little because he trained in the Grigori with Azazel since he was young.

I don't watch alot of harem series, the only reason I got interested in DxD was because of the supernatural aspect so I don't know if all harem series are like this or if this is unique to just DBZ. I wanted to know your opinion on this.
