Reviews for How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

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, knowits 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.

Anime series that solely exists for the boobs, butts and fanservice? What type of a pathetic person would even watch such a thing? Not me at least. ͜ʖ ͡°) *I saw the uncensored version, this review is aimed for adult audience only, just like the anime.* Ever since Sword Art Online landed, the anime industry has been trying their hardest to do clones of it. Clones which go beyond all the things that made SAO an ironic masterpiece. When Death March aired few seasons back, I thought no one would dare to take any more ridiculous self-insert isekai harem route. Apparently, the exact opposite happened, and Isekai Maou toShoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu (How Not to Summon a Demon Lord) was released. Show so ridiculously awesome its English name had to be changed just so people wouldn't think it's a hentai series

Story:

There is this self-insert dude who has apparently never even spoken with a real person in their life, but he is really good at being isekai Jesus in this video game that everyone plays. A legend, a hero, everything person can achieve in a game and more, that's his role. Just so happens to be, these 2 girls do forbidden magic and summon the Jesus behind the game avatar to fill his in-game character. This start an epic adventure focusing around many plot related factors such as kissing, boob fondling and various sexual remarks.

It would be easy to mistake the series to have a loosely written story because of its settings. But that's just an assumption by those who do not know better! The writer constantly challenges his writing skills by cornering the story with wits never seen before in the animated medium. For one, during this one inn scene, our trio got a room with only one small bed. Isn't it impossible for 3 people to sleep on such a small bed? Ikr, but no! Our author found a way to get everyone well-rested, and even had the time to suck neko girl's ears, making her happy, followed by a 1,5 minute long boob fondling scene. Every situation that looks beyond hopeless, gets eventually turned positive in ways you would never expect (unless you expect them to be related to lust, in which case you will not be surprised).

Characters:

The biggest problem with Strike the Blood was the amount of girls it had for the viewer to choose from. Who is the best girl and who the canon pairing. These were questions that made watching it almost stressful due to the meat quantity. Decisions, decisions. Masosoma has fixed these huge problems in two ways. a) there are only 2 girls that matter and all the others are just noncanon pairing hoes b) you don't need to choose as you can have them both.

Shera is the perfect Elf girl and looks exactly the same as blonde from Sukebe Elf no Mori e. Moreover, she has huge boobs. Rem is where lolicon fetish meets S&M bondage. But really, she has animal ears, so naturally, owning a huge metal collar is just an essential part of her design and not a questionable choice the least. Her eye color is also green which is the only color that really matters. Unfortunately they don't seem to have personalities, but I am certain both of them are especially good at sucking... things. .

Our Kirito is called Diablo this time. He is also voiced by Ono Saisuke v.2.0, so you know he is awesome. By awesome, I mean a total loser, but still gets to live the ideal life of a lawful wish fulfillment swagnator, and has the most alpha voice imaginable. Other than his hands, which seem to have endless stamina when it comes to harassing women, his other best merit is anything he ever let's out of his mouth. When he called that nerdy mage a mega pleb, I removed all characters from my favorite lists just because none of them has as long of an e-penis, and when he gave his monologue praising both: small and big boobs, I had no choice but to make "Big boobs fill man's hand, small boobs fill man's heart." my new favorite philosophical quote.

Production:

At this point, according to my calculations, the series has offered us around 27 scenes that have moved the plot onward with audiovisual story telling (pantsu shots, bakaboats, pointy nipples etc.). That's all really cool. Outside the things that matter, the art and animation are based medium quality. The boob bouncing, especially during walking scenes, is animated in an extremely fluid manner, and goes in perfect harmony with the bouncy sounds, making the series almost hypnotic for that matter.

Final judgement. Censored version 1/10. Uncensored version 10/10. Should be watched by anyone who thought Sutobura saved anime there were Kill la Kill failed.

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 asHow 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 asmost 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

Personally, I love these types of shows and I promise it isn't the fanservice. I love overpowered MC's. It's just a matter of what personality they have. And this is one that I like a lot. The MC has been socially disconnected his entire life and has to interact with other NPCs(?) using his game persona. This leads to funny moments and surprisingly cool reactions that aren't standard for typical lead male roles (don't get me wrong there are moments like those in this). It really is the MC that determines if the show is good or not. On its surface, this is simply another power fantasywhere a socially inept hikikomori ends up in a game world somehow, where he is completely OP. Overlord, Log Horizon, and others do the same thing so why not watch one of those? Because, my friend, this show is chock full of ecchi ridiculousness and, God, is it great.

You want a huge, bodacious elf rack which defies the laws of physics?

You want a cat girl waifu who hasn't quite developed in all areas just yet?

You want to see awkward sexual scenarios with our socially inept protagonist and the face-meltingly hot ladies?

You want all of this crammed into an "isekai" show with good animation and an actual okay plot so far?

Shut in gamer MC? We have it!

Catgirl lolis? You betcha!

Big boobed naive moe blob? Do you even have to ask?

Forced humor that only works in anime? That is a given!

ROFL-stomping the local monsters? Have you ever watched any isekai ever?

A good story with fleshed out characters? Nope but we got MAXIMUM PLOT!

You're in luck! Stop reading and just go watch it. This isn't a series aspiring to deliver an experience that makes you reflect on the nature of man or any nonsense. It's fun, it's lewd, it's ridiculous, and it's great.

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 versionof 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.

Oh golly, another trashy Isekai anime. I thought we already had enough? Apparently not. After 1 episode you can already recognize it for the trash it is. Story: 1/10 2 waifu's (1 loli tsundere and 1 braindead elf with big hooters) summon this complete waste of a life loser into a videogame where he is conveniently the highest level of everyone. He enslaves the 2 girls, because screw creating any sort of strong female protagonists. And after he does 1 small little thing for them, they already want his dick. Borderline porn ensues, but even though he is supposed to be a big, overpowered, scary demon lord, he isthe biggest beta male when it comes to the opposite sex. (Ofcourse, like every loser anime protagonist nowadays). Pretty much nothing happens, except for hentai and the loser being way too strong for everyone.

Characters: 1/10

Complete shit. I already described them the best I could. 1 loli tsundere and 1 braindead elf with big hooters. O yeah, and the loser beta male protagonist. How could I forget him?

I cannot even describe them further because it's impossible. That's literally all the characterization they get.

Sound: 1/10

The voice acting of the elf is cringe af. Why do the girls sound like they have a mental disabilty? ....

Is modern anime really that incapable of creating an actual believable female character?

Art: 1/10

Trash fanservice.

Enjoyment: 1/10

Why does anybody even want to watch this? It's completely void of any kind of decent storytelling and characterization. Go watch porn and after beating your meat, go watch a good anime.

Overall: 1/10

Trash

One of those series that got me watching the same op moment in an episode. Its like a better version of Death March, something that I actually enjoy and dont twist my own balls to watch it. It has those fan service moments but I'm really into it for the op mc. Reminds me of a faster pace of Overlord mixed in with Death March dazzled with a bit of every other trapped in a video game anime. Definitely not for everyone but I'm kinda desperate for hyped animes these days only watching MHA waiting a f**king week every week for one anime episode whileconstantly searching for good animes to watch without dropping it after the first episode. So far this anime has caught my interest and if your like anyone else who likes op anime mc'c who saves girls, then why not give it a try.

Well this is trash, I think we can all agree on that. Just enjoy the ride knowing you're wasting your precious time in a show that wont get a second season (so you never wont know how it ends) nor any traffic after winter 2019. But I'm not your mom, I cant tell you what to do. At least you're wasting time here and not consuming drugs/ watching some Vlog in yt i guess . . . . ..

.

.

.

Oh, you're still here? Dude stop wasting your time, you're an adult now i bet you have better thing to do in life.

.

.

.

Oh well, you really want a review then? OK I'll give a review:

- Forget the story/animation/music kind of review,Ii think we both agree that those just don't work. Let's focus in whats important.

If you're watching this i bet you're thinking "Oh the girl in the cover looks good/ Oh i like nekomimi' that's the only reason I can imagine, so don't worry all of the fems here are half-naked half the time and the other half are flopping their tits around, so you got that in favor..... Oh, what do you mean you're not a horny teenager anymore? and that you care about 'decency' and 'realism'? pleas be serious, if you really cared about that you would be watching some indie film or any early 00's show.

OK so if you're not interesting (only) in the girls, I bet you're looking for some emotional psychological drama tha-HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHHA nah that doesn't happen (don't worry i read the manga)

Now with the bad parts, you remember in how SAO portraits every character that doesn't LOVE Kirito as a creepy psycho maniac? well..... ok that would be spoilers, just be prepared for some Akane Ghoul next level of edge here.

Well I think oh what saves the show of being "DUh next SAO 1/10 worst show evah" is the main guy. No surprisingly no joking here, i was expecting some other self insert Kirito Magge, but no. I mean is not an outstanding achievement by any means (is just what any writter should be able to do) but it didn't gave my cancer like any other modern anime MC (just google clips from BC and you'll know what i meant)

Oh you were expecting a score? the same it said at the top (3.5/10)

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.

When you just want to sit back with Chips and a beer, enjoy a good show filled with fanservice, dirty humor and a goofy badass protagonist this is the cocaine you’ve been looking for. Surprisingly this has a better story than expected (although it’s only been 6 episodes so hard to tell just jet?) Has some absolutely hilarious scenes, although some people may argue that’s its cheap dirty humor. I for the most part love this style of comedy (that sounds wrong) and think that here it was executed extremely well. Especially the tent scene (no shit I was watching it with my buddy and he couldn’tstop laughing for like 5 minutes straight) we were pretty blasted on jägerbombs tho

It’s similar to konosuba in that it doesn´t take itself seriously and its not to be taken seriously. It’s in my opinion better that death march rhapsody because well the characters have WAY MORE SUBSTANCE and I don´t feel like a loli watching it.

So, 10/10 especially with drunk buddies. Cheers!

I love fantasy and mmorpg game and thats why i like this anime and i am very enjoy with this show.. STORY: Overall its perfect on my mind and i hope there will be a cool or badass scene that showup in this anime ART: Im not professional on this point but the art its look like normal to good... all looks like kawaii graphics for me xD SOUNDS:From Fighting and Dramtic Scene this anime have a good sounds

This all is my reviews and im so much recommended this anime especially for isekai lovers xD

Sorry for my bad English,because im not Pure American

I’ll be honest with you, Isekai Anime in general are trash, but this one is different. It’s the diamond in the rough, a genius story out of a nowhere! I went into this expecting trash and what I got was a hilarious story. I’ll be honest with you... the characters are bland but they serve their purpose. 7/10 The art is nice like Konosuba in some ways or not I don’t know. 9/10 The Sound 9/10. You got cute anime noises everywhere if you know what I mean ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Story! Now this is just some classic Isekai bullshit, but whatever.

7/10

Enjoyment: A definite 10 outta 10. I don’t know why, but this show delivers punch lines out of nowhere when I totally don’t expect anything out of Isekai. I genuinely busted my gut at some parts, because they were actually funny.

Overall: FUCKING TEN OUT OF TEN BABY BEST FUCKINGANIME 2018 ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE LEZ GET IT!!

Sorry for my bad English first This anime has nothing special, really! The plot is very ordinary and it even worse than anime series of the same genre. This series has a bunch of fan service scenes. Moreover, the protagonists are too boring. Let's see. We have all the typical characters here: a tsundere loli Neko-girl, a BB elf, and a Maou-sama with the maximum level of power. And that's all this series has. Summarily, the whole story is just about our maou-sama's power and how those 2 girls fall for him. There is no hilariousness, no monumental fight scenes. It has nothing but fan service. SO,DON'T WATCH THIS ANIME

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 creatinghis 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

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 cheaprecreation 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.

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 bereleased 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.

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.

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 thefirst 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

TLDR; Best New Isekai Series To Be Released in 2018 Every moment of this anime is jampacked to the rim with entertainment. The dialogue, the action, the discoveries, the ECCHI! I was certainly never bored. Demon Lord [title is too long] has enough story and flow to keep you from thinking this a pure fanservice anime despite the extreme ecchiness. I'm not even mad that boobs and suggestive scenes are in almost every scene. Too many boob-shots can be annoying but this anime knows how to use an entertaining story with cute girls without sacrificing one or the other. Our Protagonist and his reaction to this newworld is ever intriguing. He's an anti-social shut-in but outwardly projects as an arrogant and cunning Lord. He's not ignorant or stupid and his knowledge doesn't seem misplaced as is with most Isekai anime.

Only 4 episodes in and I'm already hooked. Now just to wait and see if Ajia-Do continues to produce more enthralling episodes.

Everything comes back to individual tastes, so before you watch anime, please note that you like anime with MC OP and Harem. In my opinion, this anime is not much different from other anime I have watched, especially Isekai themed anime, where the MC enters another world, be it a game or something similar. However, there are several points that I think this anime is worth watching. Firstly, this anime has a quite interesting storyline, it's not too boring to watch, maybe I didn't really like the ending. Second, this anime has good character designs, everything is detailed and has effects that are considered perfect. These three anime have goodopening and closing songs, especially the singers who are part of the voice cast in the anime, so I think you don't miss the opening and closing songs.

Fourth, this may depend on taste, this anime has characters that are OP, or you could say stronger than the others, Honestly, I like characters like this, especially not naive, not stupid, and quick to take action.

Maybe that's all I can say, even though it's an anime that doesn't have a high enough score, if your taste is the same as mine, I recommend watching it.
