How Not to Summon a Demon Lord
KANLen09
Here we have another isekai-harem LN adaptation, as is though shared with many similar series of the kind, and this season alone, This is the ONLY Isekai LN adaptation that you should watch this season (and going forward) as it's largely competent on the likes of Overlord (similar but different)? And also, just go for the uncensored version of the anime, that always helps if you love insane amounts of fanservice with boobage, ecchi shots and whatnot! You can thank me later. Story: Here we go again...yet another "transported into another world" (more like self-inserted) fantasy series of some random dude who managed to beat the game, know its innards, specs and whatnot, and then suddenly finding himself IN the actual game! With a bunch of girls that are reverse-magical slaved and self-locked into our MC with boob touches and physics, follow the Demon King Diablo on his every step of the way, going towns, encountering allies and enemies, showing off his OP skills and "tactics" every so often while finding a solution to rid those chains! And who doesn't want to watch a perverted MC have his subconscious way with "hit-and-miss" intentions of the harem? The only difference in Isekai Maou: there's actual progressive story and subversion plot points that are oh-so-predictable yet satisfying to watch. It's like you're watching an actual playthrough of the game itself! You probably thought that the usual Isekai cliché troupes will work against it, but nope! With decent execution, and the overtime boringness that sets in (your tastes vary, I'm not gonna judge), at least it manages to keep the investment level of the series high like the Almighty, and best of all? It doesn't feel cringeworthy whatsoever, even with the forced humor. Characters: For a cheap knock-off of the most OP character (reference to a certain Death March), Sakamoto Takuma a.k.a Summoning Master and Demon King, Diablo, is both a visual treat and a sight to behold. Other than his OP skills which have the "woah" factor, at least he has the audacity to act with the "sensitivity and righteousness" behaviour while playing the Demon King act. And for that, he gets a thumbs up for not being the (fill in the blank)-AF character like so many other mediocre series does with the archetype. Anyone who has been burnt out with Diablo's character will appreciate that he stands out in the most fitting way possible. On to the girls then: Shera the Elf with giant boobs. What more could you want with her EVERY movement with oh-so-jiggly boobs that always make Diablo cringe at the thought of it? More or less, all the subversive moments of squeezing boobs just makes it more worthwhile to watch this far none. Rem the flat-chested Neko. As if someone with large boobs isn't enough, how about one with a flat chest, but also "smooth to the touch" that makes you wanna cringe so hard? Not to mention, her lolicon look and the cat-fested ears just made it so that she could orgasm at the sight of sucking and caressing her gentle ears with hot blemishes! Klem, the TRUE Demon Lord of Cross Reverie, looks menacing at first glance, but here comes another loli girl with the love of biscuits (or most likely any satiating food HAHA), kinda liked her character for the most part, even with the eventual full-power release. The other characters are reminiscent of the vibes that are founded by the ironic SAO-ish quirks: Alicia, working for the Imperial Army, she comes off as being an aloof female warrior. At first, her attempts of working with Diablo, Shera and Rem come across as just another insert-yourself-into-the-harem cliché, but once the "true" Demon King is unleashed, her "ignorance is bliss" attitude starts showing with intensity. So much so that even the OP scenes outlined this (if you looked hard enough). Keera, the evil brother of Shera, the S&M specialist. No words can describe him, as per to a certain mad scientist on the other side. He is truly despicable to the point of no return. "All I wanted for family is you"? Yea right, you degenerate piece of shit! Every troupe here clearly exemplifies the conglomeracy of it all, with this one character. Art and animation: Ajia-do Animation Works is an obscure studio that has a long history like veterans Toei Animation or Sunrise, but their repertoire of works are subpar, with the only well-received series being Pierrot's follow-up of Emma Season 2, and that was back in 2007. So if you're an anime studio nut like myself, think of this obscure studio as the equivalent of Pierrot in terms of animation quality, just mildly better. However, with Isekai Maou, there is the Ajia-do trait of limited animation quality (especially with noticeable long-distance/range backgrounds), but it is vastly improved and the 2D artwork doesn't disappoint. Along with the action sequences, it doesn't give off the feel that the producers cheaped out on both the art and animation. To quote an example, check out the catchy OP sequence where Shera's giant "knockers" boobs slap each other for an insane 2 second-cut (near the chorus part). Now that is attention to detail. Overall, good art and animation, and props to the production staff. Music: The OST is one of the tolerable ones this season: An all-star female VA casting for the OP and Yuu Serizawa with the help of HoneyWorks' CHiCO for the ED. Just knowing that the veteran seiyuus all sound so good, you can't help but to be immersed in the OST. From the battle scenes that are full or intensity to the action that keeps pumping non-stop, honestly I enjoyed myself with all that is to offer here. Overall, Isekai Maou is a series that at least does the tri-factor (Isekai, LN-harem, ecchi) genres some justice, and with the original source material comes criticisms that many people will pass off as some unnecessary filler. But to be quite honest, while I don't love this anime, the enjoyment factor is really where it's at to see these characters mingle with a story that's so stupid, it's entertaining much. To the haters, at least give this a second chance or something, I promise you, it's not as taxing as many mediocre isekai series out there.

Ever wanted to know what it feels like to own someone? I’m not talking about people who you hire or a business partner. I’m talking about if you actually hold ownership of someone like a slave. Taking on the role of a protagonist in a fantasy world is no easy task. Even for a guy like Sakamoto Takuma, he may be an experienced gamer but he’s never been equipped to deal with a life changing event such as being transported into the very game he played. After becoming “Diablo”, he learns that the hard way. Isekai Maou no Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu (otherwise known as How Not to Summon a Demon Lord) is exactly what it looks like – a show about a demon lord who gets summoned into this fantasy world. The juicy part of the show is that the main protagonist possesses a “slave-turning” skill that allows him to enslave others. True to its form, this anime sets off so many damn red flags that it became of those cases of being so bad, it’s almost good. I’m not going to lie. This show glorifies fan service at any chances it gets so be prepared for a whole feast of them. The first few episodes makes it clear that the two main girls – Shera and Rem serves as Ms. Fanservice. It doesn’t help with the fact that around their neck are collars standing as proof of their enslavement status. As a guy with poor social skills, Diablo have trouble building a connection with his two slaves at first. My early impression of Diablo is that he is a joke of himself. Being a Demon Lord with such power is like an unholy gift but he doesn’t truly know what to do with it. Furthermore, Shera and Rem doesn’t know anything about him and vice versa. However, it does show that Shera adores Diablo and is “impressed” by his skills. Then, there’s Rem who shows little respect to Diablo at first but does warm up to him as they get to know each other more. In a stereotypical manner, they grow closer together and seems the two main girls even develop feelings toward their master. Yet, Diablo still has to hold his urges of lust whenever he gets caught into compromised positions. If you’ve seen any Isekai series of similar nature, you’ll know what I mean. As I watched more and more of this anime, it seems the show does take on a more emotional side once it decided to focus more on the characters. Despite his poor social skills, Diablo shows a genuine caring side towards his two slaves. This is shown in later episodes when he decides to risk everything to save Shera. He even begins to enjoy his new life as a Demon Lord and make the best of it without jeopardizing others. His main goal transform from ruling the world to being a trustworthy master to his slaves. By nature, it’s a peculiar sense to develop a character but somewhat works this way because of Diablo’s personality. He’s a haughty guy with a lot of pride on his side but sometimes drops his guard when it involves his two slaves. On the other hand, I think it’s a cheap ploy by the creators to get the audience to like Diablo. Because let’s face it, Diablo is still a generic character that adheres to wish fulfillment fantasies. So many isekai series pulls this trick from the book and it’s impossible to overlook this show’s pitfalls. Unfortunately, I also have to proclaim that it’s very easy to overlook the other characters outside of the main trio. We got characters like the Fallen (Demonic Being) Edelgard making her debut early on. Does anyone actually care about this character? She speaks broken sentences and plays more of the role of a combatant. Oh and I can’t forget how absurd her personality changes from time to time depending on who she faces with. Other characters like Sylvie and Alicia represents archetypes like the guild master and honorable knight you can find in almost any video game. And of course, they had to add Glebsklem into the show so that the cast would be complete with a half-naked loli. That’s not even the worst part. If we look at the antagonists of the series, they are what really holds the character cast back. Every villain in the show are one dimensional characters with their own self-interest and greed. Some even have other sins that pushes the line of the show’s censorship. I can’t fandom how these antagonists were made except perhaps to tests the limits of Diablo’s powers. The obvious result is that Diablo overcomes his obstacles because how overpowered he is. It’s lack of creativity 101 that hardly takes any effort for anyone to make these type of characters. Ajia-Do worked on a variety of genres before but this is their first full TV anime adaptation based on a light novel. By technical standards, it looks vibrant and matches with what an isekai world should look like. The high fantasy elements of the magical creatures and archaic structures are within expectation. Plus, some of the action scenes carries sufficient details to prove what Diablo is capable of. However, be aware of the show’s fan service. In some episodes, it really pushes the envelope with the “action”. Scenes that includes fingering, sexual power restoration, and tentacles made this anime look like a cartoony porn. It’s also impossible to not take eyes off of Shera’s body. The camera plays around her breasts like they have a life of its own. Clothes are also blown off constantly for specific “reasons” that puts Rem to shame. Character expressions often include their screams of passion in moments of ecstasy. Thanks to the talents of the VA, they make those scenes look more lascivious than they should. There’s an unwritten rule where people drop episodes for a show after three episodes or less. For Isekai Maou, it will most likely take one. It’s a break or take for first impression and if you’re coming in with low expectations, then do yourself a favor and hit that drop button. If you make it beyond those passionate screams of our slave girls, then this may be a sexy rollercoaster. The main trio of Diablo, Shera, and Rem carries this anime so get used to that. Does that still make this anime an enjoyable experience in the end? Hell no.

If I had a choice to kill off a genre it would be Isekai. Out of all the anime genres, the Isekai genre seemed to be the one to annoy me to end due to how poorly written and pandering most of the shows of the Isekai genre are. Say all you want about ecchi + harems but least they are for the most part dump fun shows that respect its own target audience not to mention most of the ecchi + harems anime are self-aware of how cheesy and for the most part bad they are. However, this self-awareness rarely happens in Iseaki as most of the shows tried to be more epic and seriously than they are actually are and most of the shows end up failed due to poor writing and direction. How to not summon a demon Lord is no different in fact it's one of the worse Isekai anime I have seen period. While it isn't as offensive as The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar and In a Another World With my Smartphone it's still is a pretty awful anime with hardly any redeeming qualities whatsoever. Now with that said let's dive in into the Isekai rabbit hole. Story. Just with like with every bad Isekai anime the story of How to Not Summon a Demon Lord is non existent at best mainly because instead of telling a story that has a purpose this crap feast decided to be another crappy isekai story that is filled with fan-service and contrived characters arcs that serve no purpose other to show how overpowered the main character while the females act like damsel in distresses. The story, for the most part, is terribly paced as the fan-service as well the action scenes seemed to drag on way longer than they should. The writing of the show ranges from below average at best to absolutely terrible at worst as the show constantly likes to pander to the lowest common denominator of anime fans. It's doesn't help that the comedy in this show is pretty damm bad as not only the jokes got annoying as the series progressed but the comedy itself is unfunny and lame for the most part. The final nail of the coffin for the story is that this show at various times took itself way too seriously for it's good. This was present in the second half of the series where the show was trying to more epic than it actually is and because of that the show became pretty pretentious at various moments. Overall the story is awful. 1/10 Characters. The characters aren't much better as they all boring and uninspired walking cliches. Diaibo is a typical overpowered protagonist that we all seen before and just like many overpowered protagonist that came before him his is bland and uninteresting. However, I will give Diabio this unlike other overpowered characters he can be a bit funny at times but at the same time he's jokes can be pretty repetitive and annoying. The two female characters that follow Diaibo are nothing but fetish husk bait for the viewer. Both are not worth mentioning at all because they do is ride either in the protagonist dick or act like damsel in distress in certain points in the series so that overpowered kun can save them. The same thing can apply for the rest of the female characters in this show. As for the villains they are all SAO levels of bad as all of them are evil for the sake of being evil. Hell one of the villains in the middle of the series looks like a bootleg Sugou from the Althem arc of Sword Art Online. Overall like with the story the characters in How to Not Summon a Demon Lord are awful. 2/10 Visuals. If there was one thing that I consider to be good about this shit show that it would be the visuals. The show is pretty to look at as it's filled with great use of vibrant colours for the character designs as well the background scenery. The actual animation is pretty solid overall that is decently smooth and the fights have pretty decent fight choreography. While the visuals were pretty good I have one complainant with the visuals that certain characters are way too oversexualized. While it's as bad not as The Master Of Rock Bottom where the all of the female characters inducing young children are oversexualized for no reason it's still just an unpleasant sight to see characters that have young looking bodies doing sexual acts on screen. One more thing I can complain about the visuals is how the show used it's fan-service because the fanservice in this show is annoying and dreadful. Not only the fan-service is in all your face all the time but the show simply doesn't all out in the uncensored version where they showed uncensored tits... 6/10 Sound. Like with most Isekai anime before and since the music is very dull fantasy music that we all seen heard and it does nothing to make it special. The opening theme DeCIDE" by SUMMONERS 2 sung by the female main characters was a pretty all right opening theme. The ending theme Saiaku na hi demo Anata ga Suki by Yuu Serizawa is a pretty forgetful ending theme. Now for dub vs sub. The sub is pretty good overall as you expect however I cannot say the same thing about the dub because it's pretty shit and badly acted especially Shera who sounds like she just came out from a hentai production... Overall the if you still want to watch this show stick with the sub. Final Thoughts. How to not summon a Demon Lord is a perfect example of why I despise the Isekai genre as a whole. The story is awful, the pacing is terrible, the comedy is unfunny for the most part, the characters sucked and the fan-service was horrendously annoying. You're just better off watching hentai because least you can get something out of this compare to this piece of shit. Avoid this show like the plague. Final Score 2/10

Summer 2018 had been a ride of an anime this year. From the unexpected Season 3 of Overlord, the return of a massive anime Attack On Titan, to the anime where summer is all about the fun as well as isekai shows that needed to be judged alot. This summer, we have plenty of isekai to judge on and one of them is "How Not To Summon A Demon Lord." where at first it looks like it is another isekai trash with uncapable of a protagonist, although at least it is not like that. Also, for some reasons, I call this show a lite version of Overlord. Lets found out why. Story: The anime starts off with your typical MC being so overpowered ingame that I don't even know how many times this scene was repeated on other isekai genre shows. Anyways, overpowered MC got transported to a fantasy world which is base on the game he amounted his life on instead of getting a college degree and get a job. Then his eyes caught upon two girls. An Elf and a Beast (cat?) girl. The girls thought that they summon a beast and that beast will be their "slave" (pet), but it turns out the magic is reflected to the two girls becoming them the slaves of op protagonists named Diablo. There, it starts all the threesome harem that every audience will expect on this show and the conflicts of having a slave that have internal conflicts. Many people call this anime a lite version of Overlord because unlike many isekai shows, in Overlord and on this anime, the protagonist has an objective and personality, both we can see while we are watching. We get to know their interests as well as their uninterests on certain things. Though, this anime and Overlord share good protagonists, the harem and fanservice is still a nuisance to the story of this anime (although its pretty much ok). Unlike in Overlord where there's no fanservice and harem, it focuses more on how the protagonist will conquer the world. Art: Visuals will always be important on a show where harem and fanservice is part of the story. I mean, the whole purpose of fanservice.. is fan.. service... On visual terms, How Not To Summon A Demon Lord is an okay show for it. Its not that bad as well as not that good. The details of the spells are done nicely, as well as the environment, monsters and character outlines. Not to mention, the visuals of the OP and ED matches the show quite a lot. Sound: I, to be honest, not the fan of the OP and ED of the show. I always skip it although it doesn't say its really bad for my taste. It is just not my type of music. However, the background music where the anime runs is quite good. It matches scenes where either a battle is going on, or whether the two girls Rem and Shera cling on Diablo naked and Diablo overreacting on his mind. Character: Now here is the interesting part of the anime. Characters. I mentioned earlier how the main protagonist is similar to the Overlord protagonist where both shows personality that pick our interest to watch the show every week. I'll now talk about the other characters especially the two girls Rem and Shera. What I like about this two girls is that they are also not your typical harem girls to the protagonist. They also have traits and importance to the story that if they are not present, the story will not progress at all. Shera being a very important person to a nation becoming a slave is already a one big conflict to everyone and Diablo. Then Rem holding one of the most hidden secrets across the world that only Diablo and the high mage named Celestine knows. Then we are provided by supporting characters that not only shows the might of Diablo but his willingness to protect these two girls. The fights shows how he is willing to sacrifice himself to the girls knowing some battles are pretty hard for him but he always win anyways. Enjoyment: Isekai shows are not really that enjoyable as they are repeated always. Fanservice is always irritating and the story lacks elements that a story needs to be. However, this show, having a good protagonist, makes the story progress in the right path for the setting of the story. Making it automatically enjoyable for me to watch and making me wait for a week for an another episode. Overall: In conclusion, "How Not To Summon A Demon Lord." is like an upgraded version of your always typical isekai with harem and fanservice cliche that you always want. It's a good isekai to watch on unlike many others that have MC that is boring and have a pointless harem.

How not to Summon a Demon Lord is a near textbook example of how to properly execute an ecchi anime. And let me tell you, it’s about freaking time. Call me perverted if you will, but sometimes I just want to sit in a secluded location and listen to 2D girls moan in pleasure as they’re put in ridiculously lewd and comical situations. Of course, I’m not so shallow as to completely disregard all other aspects of an anime and call it “da best evah!” just because it has a few cute babes and sexy scenes. The characters have to be bearable to watch and, now I know I’m asking a lot here, an ecchi anime with a decent plot wouldn’t hurt, right? Unfortunately, modern ecchi anime just haven’t been cutting it for me for a variety of reasons. I just don’t get that satisfying BOOSTO anymore, if you know what I mean…anyway, Demon Lord on the other hand is actually pretty good for what it is, and I’m here to tell you why. Not only is this show an ecchi, but it’s an isekai anime as well, because we definitely don’t have enough of those! And you can tell that creators are running out of fresh isekai ideas, because this anime’s first episode alone stole so many things from other isekai anime that I’m not actually sure whether it was intentional or not. You got references to KonoSuba, Re:Zero, Overlord, and so many others. I actually found this to be rather ridiculous, yet quite amusing. And we now arrive at one of the primary reasons as to why I like this anime: it’s actually pretty funny! Now I know that taste in comedy varies from person to person, but for me, the lewd humor and Diablo’s plain awkwardness were relatively enjoyable to watch. I found myself laughing during every episode, which for me was just refreshing. Now here comes the question that I’m sure is the most important to you: are the ecchi aspects of this show any good? Well, I can happily tell you that they most certainly are. You got the bouncy boobs, slimes that melt clothes, naked in bed scenes, fondling of breasts, and so much more. In fact, there’s a really memorable scene in episode 10 (If you’ve watched it, you know what I’m talking about ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ), that goes to borderline hentai levels of lewdness. And I really dig that. There are two primary girls in this anime. Shera is a large chested, blonde elf princess with sparkling eyes who likes to rub her breasts up against the protagonist. Yep, we got a winner here! Though she’s actually not a one dimensional character like you might expect her to be, and I ended up thoroughly enjoying her story arc, despite its simplicity. Rem is a flat chested animal girl with long, charcoal hair, fluffy cat ears, and a petite body. Right off the bat viewers are presented with Rem’s tragic secret, and I honestly started feeling an emotional attachment to her from there on out. Also, thanks to this anime and Re:Zero, I discovered that characters named Rem are doomed to unjust torment. I won’t spoil anything, but just know that being named Rem is suffering. The differences between these two characters’ physical traits are like night and day, and they’re each obviously designed to appeal to different fetishes. But you know what? I ended up appreciating both of these girls, and not just for their features, but for their character depth as well. Diablo is your typical overpowered isekai protagonist who crushes all opposition. However, unlike Kirito and his army of clones, the writers gave this guy some personality which made him enjoyable to watch. Diablo’s socially awkward nature combined with his attempts to role play as a demon lord resulted in some pretty comedic moments. And viewers even get a glimpse into his past to see why he is the way he is, which helped increase his relatability for me. But let’s not forget his most important trait: he’s a total chick magnet! All of the girls love him, and he’s wise enough to understand the merits of both large and flat chests. What a prophet. I also loved how this anime handled the Demon Lord Glebsklem. Instead of just making her into a giant final boss monster for Diablo to dispatch of with his hax protagonist powers, after her theatrical summoning, she was revealed to just be a kawaii loli with twintails. And she freaking loves biscuits. Plus she wants to go on a quest to consume all of the world’s biscuits. I can’t express in words how freaking amazing I find this to be. My only problem is that biscuit loli wasn’t introduced earlier in the anime so that she could get more lewd sce- uh, I mean character development. Visuals are generally quite standard, though they do one up similar shows in several regards. For one, they actually have some pretty great monster designs, with the hydra being the standout one for me. Sure, it wasn’t around for long, but it looked great and had fluid movements, which is a stark contrast to the poorly constructed and uninspired monsters from other isekai anime. Also, the visual quality improved dramatically during some of the ecchi scenes, which are OBVIOUSLY the most important moments in the anime. During these sacred moments, the girls got animated in very seductive ways that FIRMLY GRASPED my attention. The instrumental portions of each of the two theme songs played what I thought to be really catchy melodies. The songs’ vocalists had a nice cute sound to them, probably because they were performed by the show’s female seiyuu. The voice acting is about what you would expect. Diablo talks in a deep, menacing voice, but sounds a lot less intimidating when viewers hear his thoughts. Rem has that cute, soft voice that I simply adore, and Shera has a higher pitch, ditsy sort of voice that sounds adorable. While this show isn’t even close to top tier when compared to all other anime, it does manage to be one of the finest isekai anime that I’ve seen, as well as the best ecchi anime that I’ve watched in awhile. Where it excelled at for me was its sheer entertainment value. There was never a dull moment in the anime, and I both laughed at the comedic antics and felt for the characters during the more serious moments. The anime flows quite well, and it’s a perfect concoction of ecchi and story elements. All I can do now is hope that future installments in both the ecchi and isekai genres follow a similar path to How not to Summon a Demon Lord.

I stopped watching after the first episode but came back because I'm a degenerate. Some Spoilers warning The amount of unpredictable in this show was what made it enjoyable for me. There is so much fan service but not so much that it took away from the overall enjoyably of the show. Dude enslaves a cat girl and a elf, then proceeded to finger bang the Demon King out of a cat girl's vajaja. Demon King gets summoned but is a loli so they feed her biscuits to get her to agree to not destroying humanity. The only thing that is predictable is MC creating his own harem but still ends up a virgin by the end of the show. Story - 6/10 Nothing really exciting, yet it's pretty exciting enough. Art - 6/10 Nothing to see here Sound - 5/10 No revolution here Character - 8/10 I love cat girls Enjoyment - 9/10 I have bad taste Overall - 6/10 Good anime

Another nothing burger. Sort of almost plot, however again nothing really happens. The world-building is at least almost passable. The characters are bland, the story is bland, and the romance feels creepy and weird, which Ill get to. The magic system is bland and basic. The animation isn't bad, but it also isn't good. Nothing about this show stand out in any way. The stakes are never high and nothing ever feels like it matters. The MC is OP compared to everyone else, and the antagonists are weak and uncompelling. The worst part is the slavery. I enjoy when stories have stuff like slavery in it, it builds out a world further and adds more medieval details to fantasy settings. However here, a man who should know how wrong slavery is partakes in it. Not only that, he forces himself upon them. at least Redo of healer attempted to have some sort of dark theming behind it, this is just rape. there's nothing else to it. Yes, it appears consensual, but the power dynamic is clear and weird. If your a basement dwelling loser who wants a SA and power fantasy, you'll like this. If you're a normal functioning member of society you wont.

Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu it’s just common ecchi/harem anime. The main character, Diablo, is a guy who teleported to the world from his favorite game. In real life he’s no one but in this world, he’s Demon King. It’s common anime, so what’s wrong with it? Honestly, for me, a lot of things are just bad. But lets start with the good part. From the visual side, it’s not bad anime, it’s just nothing special. Fight scenes are not chaotic, “special spells” don’t look like they were made in Paint. But in ecchi bazoongas are the most important thing. Yeah, bazoongas are nice, but their consistency is like jelly so that’s kinda weird. Sound is not really important. It’s not that bad or that good to focus on it. Opening probably won’t be your favorite, but it isn’t terrible. The main problem is that all soundtrack is not connected, it’s like the playlist on Spotify on which your friends add random songs. Sometimes it doesn’t fit the vibe too, for example during a dramatic scene plays something close to a pop song. Another good thing is part of Diablo’s story. I appreciate that he’s a nerd that was teleported to the anime world. He must act like Demon King, but inside he’s a shy nerd which never touched a woman. I think it’s a good storyline how he tries to be more confident. But sometimes it’s just overblown even if viewers know it’s just his acting. And that’s all good things. The next part is just rage and pain. Sooo, it’s ecchi there are bazoongas, harem, butts, girls, and sexual allusions, I know about it. But it’s sometimes too much. Especially with characters like Sylvie and Glebsklem, they both look like they were eleven years old. And I think even the fact Glebskem is an ancient Demon Lord, doesn’t change that she has the body of a kid. Her outfit doesn’t even cover the whole bazoongas and that’s just kinda gross to me. So we have a few important characters. Diablo is a nerd, who must act like Demon King. The first girl is Shera, she is a dumb elf with huge bazoongas which eats a lot. And the second girl is Rem who is almost flat, but she has cat ears and a tail. Everything you must remember is that the main character is Diablo, a girl with bazoongas and a girl without bazoongas. Of course, these two argue about bazoongas, because it’s ecchi. All of the characters don’t really change through all season, they’re almost the same as in the beginning, they don’t learn from their mistakes. Only Diablo sometimes has any logical thinking, but only for a moment. Shera and Rem are just dumb through all episodes. When we come to the plot. Two “extremely intelligent” girls decide to summon a demon lord and make him their slave. But oopsie daisy, he has the ring of reflection, and they become his slaves. Diablo become an adventurer and they do all stuff that they do in fantasy anime. I think that could be a more interesting plot if this slave story wasn’t just sexual allusions but it’s only about getting Diablo’s arm between bazoongas. The main storyline is just not interesting. There are so many things that just fill up space. Basically, a lot of episodes are just about Rem or Shera getting in trouble and Diablo trying to save them. That’s why you can easily forget what is the goal of their journey. And here comes the biggest sin of this anime, it's just boring. You watch it and almost constantly forget about it. Characters do what they do just cause of the plot, not because they have any motivation. Things just happen and you don't even know why, because you just don't care. I think in my entire life I never forgot the plot during watching anything, but here it just happened. I was watching it all in one night and after finishing it I couldn’t even tell about its main storyline, because it was so boring that I forgot about it. The only thing that I could remember is that it was like every fantasy anime with an adventurer motive. I think I never used “bazoongas” so much in that short period of time, but it was worth it. So basically, if you want to see something with bazoongas, a good plot and charismatic characters then go watch something else. But if you care only about bazoongas and butt this anime is perfect for you.

Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu This series tells the story of Takuma Sakamoto, the player nicknamed Maou in the MMORPG he played. One day he was carried to another world which was very similar to the MMORPG he played by two magical girls who wanted to master him. But Takuma turned out to have the ability to reflect magic and the two girls were now slaves. He inevitably had to continue to pretend to be a Maou when adventuring in this new world. This novel was written by Yukiya Murasaki, and published by Kodansha. And has released eight volumes, the ninth volume will be released on February 2nd. The series has also been adapted into a manga series drawn by Naoto Fukuda. This manga began serialization at Kodansha’s Suiyoubi no Sirius on June 24, 2015. This anime is also most likely to be Action, Adventure, Comedy, Ecchi, Fantasy, Harem, Mature, Romance, Shounen genre. Maybe this anime will be similar to Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku Story (5/10) At the beginning of the story we witness how the main character becomes another world demon king with strange powers like reflecting all kinds of magic this makes the storyline less exciting where the main character is too great and strong. character (8/10) In terms of character, maybe I didn't give a lot of opinions, but all the characters from this series have their own characteristics where the Rem has a small chest, while the theme Shera has a big chest, this has an effect on the series this time. Art (7/10) This series tells the story of Takuma Sakamoto, the player nicknamed Maou in the MMORPG he played. One day he was taken to another world which was very similar to the MMORPG he played by two magical girls who wanted to master him.

Sound (6/10) in terms of sound itself it may sound good starting from the voice and battle effects and so on Enjoy (8/10) maybe this anime doesn't make me bored and this series has an ecchi genre where the viewers are amazed by the adult scene, maybe a little extra from this section is I appreciate the studio where in the series it might not delay the schedule.

Calling this anime "yet another isekai" is genuinely an understatement for how criminally bad the show really is. Even among the worst, Isekai Maou stands out, and that speaks volumes. Story: 1/10 The story is unoriginal and uninspired. Every single aspect of the plot is a massive cliché. Without giving spoilers I can tell you that the story is exactly what you would expect from an isekai. A self-insert shut-in who has never talked to a girl before is teleported to another world where every girl throws herself at him as he panics and makes silly faces. There's a stereotypical demon lord that wants to destroy the world yada yada the protagonist doesn't need any character development because he's already overpowered yada yada defeats the demon lord. Even with bad shows I usually find myself intrigued by one thing or another about the story, but not even once did Isekai Maou have me on the edge of my seat. It's as predictable as it gets. Art: 1/10 It's easy to see that the show had absolutely no passion put into it. Most full-body shots have the same level of detail as the classic background characters we often see in anime in general. Unless the camera is really close to a character, the art is genuinely just terrible. My biggest gripe against Isekai Maou's art design, however, is the animation. The animation is insulting. I'm not exaggerating when I say that 90% of the time it honestly looks like I'm watching a slide show, while the other 10% is a slightly better slide show. I cannot accept that each episode took longer than two days to animate. There is barely any motion at all. Dialogues are literally just the mouth changing its shape with the ocasional head turn. Walking scenes are just the characters bobbing up and down with two or three extra frames at most for the limbs. Every scenario looks dead, previous shots are often reused (literally copy/paste), a lot of screen time is filled with still shots, I could go on all day. The fight scenes aren't good either. Animating magic is easier so the protagonist just has a staff that he barely moves when casting magic. Animating melee combat is more difficult since you actually have to put some effort into drawing the body so there's really only two melee fight scenes that last more than ten seconds, and even so, most of the scene is filled with reused frames or dialogue, while the different shots are also pretty much motionless. Even the magic lacks imagination. There's one big spell that the protagonist casts but actually trying to animate something must be too hard so the spell is just a big white beam. No effects, no colors, nothing. Just a bland solid white beam. This genuinely feels like 90s anime in terms of animation, and even that is still an insult to the shows of that era. Sound: 3/10 Nothing special. You can't really go wrong with sound, except for the fact that the sound effects lack impact and none of the soundtracks really stuck to me. Now that I think about it, I can't even remember if the show had any. That's how forgettable the soundtrack is. Character: 1/10 The self-insert, the stereotypical big-breasted airhead and the flat kuudere. You can't get more cliché than this. The female elf is, as always, a walking fanservice and the flat kuudere cat girl is generally used for breast envy jokes. There's really not much to be said about the characters since character development is nonexistent in Isekai Maou. The few side characters barely have any screen time while the main girls serve absolutely no purpose besides providing fanservice. Enjoyment: 1/10 Funny and goofy for two episodes, subsequently getting more stale by the second. When you start questioning the characters' decisions, watching this anime gets utterly revolting. At some point I just wanted to finish all episodes out of sheer spite. I can't really explain why the decision-making is so repugnant without giving spoilers, but trust me, it is that bad. One might argue that bad decision-making is just a flaw that makes the characters look more real, but that's simply not true. Every bad decision is just a plot device used to push the story forward since the show lacks any form of inspiration to naturally develop itself, and in the end none of the main characters face any consequences for being so dense. That's plot armor. Plot armor only makes everything less believable. A spoiler free example would be how the self-righteous protagonist refuses to kill anyone because he's a spineless worm, only to then see the character he refused to kill causing issues that could lead to the death of all the girls he loves so much, but it's okay since the plot armor will protect them. Overall: 1/10 It's definitely not for everyone. It's one of those shows that you have to turn your brain off to enjoy. Everything about this anime is forgettable and lacks any essence. It is possible to enjoy Isekai Maou if you're easily satisfied with cheap entertainment that provides no sense of fulfillment and has no message to convey, consequently becoming nothing short of a low-effort attempt at cashing out on the isekai trend. If you fit the criteria, go right ahead and give it a watch.

Should you watch this anime? If you like fan service with fluent animation, look no further. But there are many other options if you like ecchi anime with good stories, such as Kill la Kill and Shokugeki to name some famous ones. I understand that sometimes we just feel like watching a 'shit' anime to take a break or have a switch of pace, but even then, this series just hurts your brain. How to Not Summon a Demon Lord has to be the most unoriginal series of the year. It follows a protagonist who was a NEET, and somehow for unexplained reason he ended up as his game character in another world. By the way he is OP character which no one can go against. Sounds familiar? There's not much to say about the story. It is pretty boring in general and really lacks sophistication. I know this is not supposed to be a 'good show', but even then it didn't have any unique element that even some shitty shows has. Time for tiny spoilers just for this paragraph: The ending was shit. The lead up to the ending was shit. Super cliche or should I say it was not? Surely at the end of ep11 I thought they wouldn't magically save Rem and make the antagonist a 'good guy' at the end but hey, they did. Quite cringy. The characters... I did not like that much Typical juxtaposition between big boob oblivious girl and a flat, but more intelligent (mature?) girl. The antagonists weren't that intriguing probably due to the artstyle. Also there's too many lolis which was just cringe yet again. Of course the demon lord is a loli. Art.. is actually alright? If you're watching this for fan service, then you'll like it as it provides just with that pretty well. The animation is quite fluid in those scenes but generally speaking, it's pretty average. I wouldn't necessarily say it's bad but it's typical. So overall, I feel like I am a fool for writing this rant. All the cliche setting and story in this anime somehow feels like it's done on purpose just to piss me off and write this review. But what if this series was supposed to be a joke? At the end, I felt like this series was supposed to be a message to the ever popular isekai genre that was getting criticised for its originality, and purposely implemented all the cliche scenes just to show how general this genre can be. If that's the case, well done I suppose.

I'll be honest, I'm absolutely not a fan of the brand of fanservice this show offers, with some characters that are barely more than a pair of giant boobs, sexualized lolis and constantly-flustered protagonists who don't know how to handle women. It's all quite forced and obnoxious and the show went to the absolute heights of what can be done without making it a hentai. If you compare it to how Overlord approaches similar themes, you can see that it can be done without going overboard and derailing the core story. But, enough of complaining, because there are things to compliment here. First, is the general characterisation of the protagonist, who is transported to another world as an OP demon mage and quickly establishes himself as "Diablo, the Demon Lord", forcing a grim persona that hides his insecurity and lack of social skills - this part is actually quite amusing and once more, reminiscent of some fun aspects of Overlord's Momonga (just without the "evil" parts). Also, the protagonist quickly finds some serious challenges in this new world and is involved in some really cool fantasy battles - those are usually brief, but really fun to watch. The overall plot is also rather satisfying, even if ultimately predictable. In the end, this is still another trashy, ecchi-oriented isekai, but it's a league or two above really crappy shows such as Smartphone or Deathmarch (yeah, that one started cool, but later on...). While not especially memorable, it's worth giving a try if you want to relax with something that doesn't try to take itself seriously and unapologetically focuses on giving you easy entertainment. After all, is it not exactly the thing we're looking for with these shows?

kiwk-e Another season and another isekai anime to enter the scene. It’s not that i hate this genre, but with the amount of them coming out and doing what can only be a somewhat serviceable amount, it starts to get tiring. Isekai maou is no exception either. It follows the basic formula of some unknown protagonist in the “real world” being transported to a fictional land that he has some superficial connection to , in this case a game. He becomes the player character he uses, and is part of a pseudo version of the game that is a bit different, but follows the same mechanics for some reason. He joins or accidently enslaves two girls who summoned him, and they go on adventures. The plot isn’t that complex and it follows a basic three act structure first with the introduction of the world, second with one of the girls and the elf kingdom, and finally the other girl and the church. Many steps along the way are riddled with plot contrivances and conveniences, but the characters, art/animation, voice acting and soundtrack are serviceable enough that it’s not that much of a bother. This is a show that knows what demographic it’s trying to sell it to and just goes for it. Maybe it’s because i viewed it in that lens that i’m more passive to the show so i don’t find its content that offensive. In the end of the day it’s a stupid show with fun moments, and short enough that it’s not too overbearing.

If I had to describe this anime in 3 words, these would be: Classic, mediocre, entertaining. The story is simply mediocre, it has some slight touches of originality such as the main development attempt and his "role", but nothing more. After that the story is completely predictable and not original at all. Everything about the art, sound and concepts is quite "decent" the style of cute and sexually attractive animations, so it does the job well. I wouldn't place it as great animation or art anime, it has just what you would expect. The "ecchi" is good. In fact I would categorize as "ecchi" the main genre of this anime, the quality and quantity of "ecchi" is three or four times greater than everything else. If there were actual sex action this could perfectly be average hentai (Still mediocre though). Regardless, it is not boring. It perfectly fulfills what one can expect from a "mediocre ecchi". Entertains.

It takes a truly great mind to fully appreciate the genius that is Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu. They say that those who read live a thousand lives while those who don't only live one. Well, if that's the case then those who watch Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu possesses life experience equivalent to that of a billion lifetimes. While I would recommend Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu to anyone, be careful about getting too invested. The characters have such depth and development throughout the show that your own existence begins to feels like a cheap recreation of an American sit-com in comparison. I cannot truly begin to explain this masterpiece through words alone as the complexity of Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu means that they would be reductive to the genius that is the whole. I will do my best to summarize Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu now, but beware that this is a crude representation. No spoilers are included, as it is impossible to spoil a masterpiece such as Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu with mere words. Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu is a show about a fierce and terrible demon lord of great power. He has a deep understanding about the world, despite just being summoned there by a powerful sorceress and an elven queen. This understanding comes from his alternate existence as a top-view observer of his own life through a complicated futuristic artifact. After being summoned, he immediately asserts dominance by taking the powerful sorceress and the elven queen as his slaves. What follows is a great adventurer of sorrow, loss, lust and beauty without equal. He has to fight many battles, not only for himself, but for his slaves as well whom he takes a liking too throughout the show. If you're a human and wish to gaze into the mind of god, then this show is for you. That is all.

WOMEN: AVOID FANS OF THIS SHOW AT ALL COSTS! The only people who could possibly like this show (or find my remarks about it "confusing" in any way) are pathetic little incels at best and powerful Epstein associates at worst; therefore, if you ever meet someone who enjoys this trash, you should avoid that repulsive creature as much as humanly possible because he will very likely try to sexually-assault you. Stay alive, and stay safe... I would describe 'How Not to Summon a Douche Lord' (HNTSADL) as something of a mixed bag, but with a rape-shaped hole in the bottom. While the show does have some redeeming qualities - the story is interesting enough, the production quality is on-point, and there are plenty of entertaining action sequences - these qualities are far outweighed by its faults. This series suffers from one major flaw in particular, though, one so fatal that any positive aspects it possesses are rendered essentially meaningless: The characters fucking suck. Especially the MC. Just to get it out of the way, here are the scores for this piece of shit: Story: 5 Art: 8 Sound: 7 Characters: 1 Enjoyment: 4 Overall: *3/10* Instead of delving into every aspect of this series, I am going to focus my attention on the character(s) and why they are so horrible that the entire show is ruined as a result. I hope you're prepared... Almost every issue with the characters in HNTSADL stems from the fact that the MC is a disgusting loser and a sexual predator, and this appraisal is ignoring the fact that he was a shut-in NEET before he was isekai'd. Right from the beginning, you get an idea of what an envious & spiteful douchebag this guy is when he gleefully talks about how he gets more enjoyment than usual from killing couples in an MMORPG, because that's healthy. His emotional immaturity is made more apparent throughout the series, and reaches a climax of sorts when he reacts to one character ostensibly leaving him by completely shutting down & rolling up into a ball like a toddler. Jesus fucking Christ! After he is transformed into his RPG character, he immediately gets two slaves due to a magical mishap, and it doesn't take long for him to exploit that. Throughout the series, he repeatedly molests both of them, even while they are asleep; even worse, he literally tries to rape another female character when he gets drunk, and only fails to do so because he passed out from the intoxication. This behavior is usually accompanied by his exceedingly-gross inner monologue, a significant portion of which is focused on the breasts of the women around him. Do you know how unsettling it is to hear a grown-ass man describe, in great detail, the developing breasts of a teenaged girl as he is molesting her while she sleeps? Unfortunately, I do now. This grossness is further accentuated by the implication that he is somehow not in control of his own body at times, and his hands are molesting the girls of their own volition despite his internal protests. Yeah, you can fuck right off with that bullshit. This brings us to what I feel is the worst aspect of this behavior: Everything I have described is portrayed in a "comedic" fashion. That's right, the show presents the behavior of a bona fide pedophile as though it were funny, and his crimes are merely goofy antics. Yeah, there is just one problem with this: It was not fucking funny! Now, I come from the "George Carlin School of Thought," if you will, so I believe literally anything can be funny, including sexual assault; however, as Carlin pointed out in the aptly-titled routine "Rape Can Be Funny," it all depends on how the joke is constructed. Comedy relies, in part, on the subversion of one's expectations through humorous exaggeration, and that is why the underlying premise of any good rape joke is the fact that rape is, in fact, a horrible crime that can (will) destroy a person's life. In other words, if you tell a joke about rape or sexual assault, it better come from the right place or you will just end up looking like a disgusting creep. Example of the latter: HNTSADL. The reason none of these attempts at humor worked is because the only thing goofy about these assaults was the array of faces he was making while half-heartedly telling his hands to stop, which means, in the end, you are just watching some pathetic loser with poor self-control molest a couple sleeping teenagers. Fucking despicable. I am going to compare this shit to a series called 'Green Green' (GG), which is an objectively awful series in pretty much every way. For all of its flaws, though, GG was still able to pull off "rapey-ish humor" just enough to have me chuckling once in a while. Why, you ask? Well, there a few reasons for this: 1) the idiots in GG would concoct plans so ridiculously stupid that you can't help but laugh at the absurdity; 2) they always failed spectacularly and embarrassingly; and 3) they usually suffered even more spectacularly as a result of their failures - one of the pedo-fucktards gets a cactus shoved in his face and another gets ass-raped by a bear, to give a couple examples. Seriously, to be outdone by GG in any way is just fucking sad... well, except for that "bear rape" scene, which is amaze-ballz. Also, Togemura conquers ALL foes... bitches. My gripes with the rest of the character pool are pretty typical, but don't necessarily apply to all of the characters in the show: annoying; one-dimensional; unbelievable; worthless; etc. The biggest issue I have with the other characters, though, is their general acceptance of Douche Lord's behavior, which I found to be uncharacteristic of several, um, characters. I may elaborate more on these issues in the future, but I am not sure it is worth my time to do so, considering that pretty much all of the characters are fairly cookie-cutter anyways. IN SUMMATION: HNTSADL is glorified pedo-hentai masquerading as a shounen action series, and should appeal only to fans of Elliott Rodger or Andrew Tate. While there are some pretty cool fight scenes strewn throughout the show, you are also subjected to numerous instances of sexual assault being perpetrated by the infantile & pathetic loser of an MC, whose mere presence is the main reason this show is such a piece of shit. If you like action and insist on watching this rapey garbage, then watch the fight scenes on some YouTube alternative and and skip the rest, because you're not missing too much that is worthy of note, much less praise. P.S. Never forget that anyone who likes this show is a sexual predator... and there are likely no exceptions to this rule.

And again i have finished the anime in one day. I don't see how this anime is not that popular and on top of that there are a lots of negative reviews, for me this anime is great. There are a lots of people who will say here the MC is overpowered and as much can do anything, yes MC is a bit cocky, however that being the case this anime still gives you excitement. the story gives you the thrills that "what will happen next?''. And again people say very bad about ecchi anime (ecchi anime are bad, ecchi is boring af) i dont see how this anime is boring. if you are the type that read reviews before watching anime, ill just say don't go for other reviews just watch and see by yourself how is this anime for 'you'. ill only say this anime is great for me and i love it. Story[10/10] I am a biggest isekai lover and i almost love all isekai anime i have encountered so far. i herd about this anime a long time ago but i never watched i thought the story will be boring but i regret when i started watching this anime i love how beautifully the anime is plotted, most importantly the protagonist of this show (Diablo) is pretty much like me or i'm like him, whatever. Diablo is pretty much of a loner and cant talk to girls[Note: this is not the spoiler, you will understand when you watch it] and i am the same in real life so ill give this 10/10. Art[10/10] talking about a fine art i have no problem with the art isekai anime always ends up with an awesome art. Character[10/10] the character plotting was great. i have only disliked one character Alicia i disliked her after seeing what she did. however we cant really blame her after what happened with her in past(no spoiler). well everyone has different way of thinking onto it, at same time some peoples will feel sympathy for her. but in the end everything was fine. i just never wanted Alicia to be with Diablo thats all, when i watch anime i see myself in the protagonist, so i keeps on blabbering (excessively) about - "he should've done this instead of this". Overall [10/10] i would not like to say much about this anime, ill just say its really enjoyable ^^

Just finished last episode. hm... overall its a great seasonal anime. Although it does have certain elements that are reruns of other animes, it does have some distinct differences that make it a cut above. Story: 9 Overall its a great story. of course with the influx of isekai stories this kinda just falls into that category, but there is definitely something different in the writing of it. The story part is different. Unpredictable, un-stereotypical. So, although the main concept is similar to other isekai animes (think overlord), it's story is different, which not only makes it feel fresh, but also comedic. Also, this is the first isekai anime where the MC is present in both forms, one as the player and two as the character. This inner dialogue only further adds to the comedy of it. Art: 8 First off, I watched this entire season on uncensored (which i believe you should to), and have to say, was not disappointed. It is a new anime, so the art is expected to be good. Animation is crisp, light. The action scenes do not disappoint, the directing angles and cuts are good as well. Its definitely not the best animation ive ever seen, but it meets the par for animes of this day and age. As for Character design and color choice, most match their personalities well. None of the colors are out of place, and those also reflect the story's setting and premise. Bright colors match the in-game setting of a MMORPG (or whatever they call it). Sound: 9 The opening and ending songs are both good, as in they fit my taste. Fast, EDM style if you want to know. In anime sound, didnt really pick up too much about it its great, but not amazing. But definitely not bad either. The soundtrack is good, it doesn't detract too much from the story. VAs are chosen well, they fit the characters that theyre representing. Enjoyment:10 Seeing as this is The Ecchi Anime of this season there was no way i was not going to enjoy it. But even without that aspect, this anime is very enjoyable. The story takes an old concept and refreshes it in some way. the storyttelling is great, unpredictable but not outlandish. The art is above average and the sound is as well. Characters are mostly well done. Overall: 9 I wouldn't say this is the best anime ive ever watched, nor is it one of the best. Nor is it one of the best ecchi anime's ive ever watched. Its just a decent well rounded ecchi anime. Nothing is done wrong, but its not really pushing any sort of artistic boundary. its a great anime, but its missing that x-factor, be it story wise, animation-wise, or character wise to really push it to the 10. to break it down, id say 3 for story + 3 for ecchi + 1 for characters +1 for sound +1 for art = 9 overall. peace

First of all "Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu" or in English "Demon Lord from Another World and The Slave Magic of the Summoner Girls " I love this anime. In this anime, the main character is kind of lazy to me, well however because he is a gamer so normally he could not able to make good friends. And one day somehow he was summoned into another world and the laughing matter is the game he uses to play and the world he was summoned is same, in the first time I wasn't thinking much about that part but after that I able to know that he is kind of one of the high-level player in the game he uses to play. Well, this anime has some adventure, magic and besides, I think the main character is cool so many girls fall for him which made a harem, also a slight test of ecchi and romance as well. If this anime comes with the 2nd season I would love to watch that too.

As a huge fan of Isekai anime How NOT to summon a Demon Lord followed the same premise as most other Isekai shows. With an MC who was either a NEET, or not overly positive in life. In How not to Summon a Demon lord our MC is summoned into the game he plays where his character "Diablo" is severely OP and is one of the strongest characters Level wise in the game. We then find out he is summoned to this world by Cat Girl Rem, and Elven Girl Shera. However due to Diablos reflect Magic spell the enslavement ritual used to Summon Diablo backfires on Rem and Shera and they become Diablos slaves. Throughout the anime Diablo finds things out about Shera and Rem and does whatever he can to help them achieve their goals in life. Along the way Diablo, Rem, and Shera make various connections with an abundance of likeable characters and the story progresses. I really enjoyed the Art and Animation. With their most recent work being Izetta the Last Witch, I was very impressed with Studio Ajia-Do. The anime was very clean, crisp and enjoyable to watch. The opening and ending songs were some of the best of the season. I thoroughly enjoyed the BGM in the anime as well. The characters were really enjoyable. I usually hate characters like Shera but I really liked her a lot. Diablo is actually an enjoyable MC. Him being overpowered was fantastic and then being shy around girls balanced him out to be a really great MC. I really enjoyed this anime. It had a good balance of comedy, action, fan service, and story spread throughout the series. Overall I thought this was a really good anime. I feel like most people should give it a chance. Shelf Worthy: I would buy the Bluray for this. 10/10
