How Not to Summon a Demon Lord

While it takes similar ideas from other animes, I do want to see more of this. It's entertaining and makes me laugh every so often. I definitely want to see it through.

The magic looks great and some scenes are fantastic but make no mistake, this is porn.

Season 1 is definitely better than season 2 but season 2 is still pretty much watchable. Season 1 made me laugh a good couple of times. Also funny character development and ecchi.

But not a huge amount more.

This a bit of a "Isekai" at its core ( main premise) and it's atleast amusingly used to help explain away the "Harem" portion of the Anime. There is the typically Ecchi fan service, and some of it is a little better disguised / worked into the plot than many similar shows, and some solid character growth between the protagonist and his "harem".

Overall it's enjoyable, a good watch for the Covid-Crisis of 2020, and a second season was announced, but it's not groundbreaking.

Its has a bit too much fan service for my taste, but if you can overlook that its surprising good. You actually get invested in some of the characters, for me the characters of Emile Bichelberger were surprising good. In episode four Emile Bichelberger is badly injured and about to be killed, after valiantly facing a fallen, when the demon lord arrive and puts his hand on Emile saying he was a hero and that he would take it from here, I was moved. It has its share of silliness, but not as much as you would expect and the ending is reasonable. The tropes used are well worn standard ones but the execution is very good so they seem fresh.
