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 t…

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.…

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 med…

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 th…

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.…

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.

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…

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 hi…

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.

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
Enjoyme…

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…

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.…

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…

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 roma…

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 a…

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, sec…

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'…

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 t…

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 b…

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-loc…
