He genuinely acts and thinks as a shut-in otaku would in a fantasy world. This does help since yes he'soverpowered as far as fighting monsters goes, but he also has problems when dealing with other people (and his own harem) and this grounds him in reality and makes him more likable than the typical isekai protagonist. One day Takuma awakens seeing two girls. He is then suddenly kissed by whom he identifies as a Pantherian and an Elf. He sits up and surveys his surroundings and notices that it wasn't his room but it seemed familiar and he was wearing different clothes than what he slept in. He then heard the Pantherian girl saying that the Enslavement Ritual ended. This triggered his memory recognizing the place they are at is the top of Starfall Tower where Summoner players of Cross Reverie go to call forth Summoned Beasts and that he was on the altar where the Summons appear. Takuma then hears the Elf girl exclaim that now she is a Summoner. The Pantherian girl retorted that she was the one who called the Summoned Beast. They argued with each other over who summoned him. He realized that he wasn't summoned as a play but as his character Diablo. One day the main character is suddenly summoned into a fantasy-type world as a slave to a pair of adventures. During the summoning process, something goes wrong and the roles of master and servant are reversed leaving the newly summoned protagonist with a catgirl loli and big tiddy elf as slaves. The world is extremely similar to a game the protagonist played in his world, hence when he is summoned not only does his appearance change, but 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.

Okay, jokes aside, the story of Isekai Maou, isn't exactly a complex or compelling one. Granted, this is not the reason to watch this anime, and honestly, some of my favorite anime are nonsensical story wise. So if you're looking for some deep storytelling that takes itself super seriously, look elsewhere. For what it is though, Isekai Maou's story is actually adequate enough to keep your attention, and while simplistic, does show signs that it could pivot into something deeper should it want to. Not that I'm so sure that'd be a good thing if it has to sacrifice in places that brought it to the dance in the first place. With that said though,storyis going to get a3/10here, good for what it is, and gets points for not trying to be something it's not. a b c d e Mateo, Alex (June 23, 2021).

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.

Fantasyis a tough one to actually talk about, this show is a fantasy series yes, but if you're a nerd that reads the monster manual before bed, this isn't exactly that. This is anime style fantasy, and therefore, something akin to cosplay as Turkey put it, while I have no issue with that, some might. RPG 10/10this is actually the most RPG anime ever, dude is legit RPing his ingame character.

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. Glakius Cannon》: It was magic that fired a clump of ice. However, the ice that was generated through Diablo’s powerful magical power was a gigantic lump of ice that was bigger than a single adult. Sword Smite III》: A charge-in type of Martial Art. A part of a Martial Art series which includes 《Sword Smite》.

Absolute Zero》: One of the Water Attribute's strongest magic. Any and all kinetic energy is completely and eternally lost. The target was limited to one person, and the spell won’t activate unless done at zero distance. 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. Aero Shredder》: The highest grade Chemical Element Magic of the Wind attribute under level 100. The target of the spell is wrapped up in a green flash with a thunderous roar being raised as the target is cut into pieces. As for the ladies of Isekai Maou, well, there are our two female protagonist, Rem and Shera. Rem not to be confused with the ultimate waifu, is still waifu material, living up to the name obviously. She's a bit of a more serious character, and that makes her adorable when you contrast it against your petite appearance and cat features. While Shera is a big tiddy elf, she's blond and acts like it, that's all I can say. No it's not, she's actually a shown to be a really openly kind character, and she is indeed the funniest character in the whole cast. Also, the most likely to be in a state of undress, probably by her own doing as well. There are a whole number of other characters worth mentioning as well, white (actually gold) knight Emile, defender of women, just to name one. He's hilarious, and he's not even really one of the important side characters, that said his addition, like most of the characters in this show, is welcome.

The first season of Isekai Maou had actual stakes, characters I cared about and very timely ecchi scenes that didn't usually distract from the main plot but it feels like all of the good from season one was thrown out in season two for whatever reason. Going from saving Rem and trying to stop the demon lord from being revived to a stopping the corrupt church plot with nothing to get me invested in it. Why should I care about this? Because some hot nun who's completely insufferable to watch? yeah no thanks.

From here MC-kun strives to be an adventurer and get favor in the land. Good the objective has been set, and on-top of that it's not a hard one. These come to fruition and the slightly harder and harder challengers come up to contest MC-kuns ownership over his "slaves". How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord? Indeed. This is a story of a shut in otaku neet weeb with social skills comparable to my own that is brought to an alternate world that may or may not be the game he was playing. This anime very well be a twist on the take of classic stories that tell of escapist fantasy. The story of children's imagination before it is crushed by society around them, a person who refuses to age their mind and finds themselves retreating from reality, or just a coming of age story in a fantastical place from where they'll return, better off for it. Except in this case we got big tiddy elf, flat chested neko, loli demon, and much much more. That's right, you already know Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu is the escapist ecchi that we've been needing.Overall8/10, truly we are blessed. Unless you don't like ecchi fanservice anime, in which case, probably just pass on this to be safe. Also, on a more serious note, this show really treads the line into being hentai, it also does feature a loli (that fulfills the "actually is really old" role) so take that into account when you decide whether you watch the show or not.

Oh and there are fights and stuff and they look okay enough. Really as far as action goes, it truly shines when Maou-sama is using his big ass spells. They're always well animated and hype, whereas the close combat and hand to hand leaves a bit to be desired. However, outside of combat, the animation is lively and fun, whether it's a new and intriguing way for tiddies to bounce, or just general animation of the gang doing whatever. The animation plays well into the funny bone of this series as well, naturally just adding to the comedy. You can tell overall the animators had fun with the show.8/10Pineda, Rafael Antonio (January 13, 2023). "Australia Bans Import, Sales of How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Omega Anime".
