How Not To Summon A Demon Lord Rating

Okay, let's talk demons. And not the scary kind haunting your attic. We're diving into How Not to Summon a Demon Lord. You know, that anime everyone has opinions about.

The Great Debate: Is It Good?

The big question: Is it actually... good? Like, objectively good, with a capital G? That's where things get messy.

Spoiler alert: my opinion might ruffle some feathers. Buckle up.

Fan Service Frenzy

Let's be honest, the fan service is… prominent. It's like they took all the tropes and cranked them to eleven. We're talking bouncy bits, skimpy outfits, the whole shebang.

Some people love it. Others? Not so much. Personally, I think it's a distraction.

It feels like they're trying too hard. Distracting us from something… perhaps?

The Plot Thickens (Maybe?)

There's a plot! Really, there is! It involves Diablo, our protagonist, being summoned into a fantasy world. He's ridiculously overpowered, naturally.

He's gotta figure out why he was summoned and, you know, save the world. Standard isekai stuff.

But does the plot matter all that much? Does anyone truly care about the grand scheme?

Characters We (Kind Of) Care About

We have Shera, the elf, and Rem, the pantherian. They're Diablo's companions. And also, his… well, you know.

They have their moments. Some character development sneaks in there. But often, it feels overshadowed.

Like, "Oh, a touching scene! Wait, never mind, boob joke."

Action! Adventure! Antics!

The action scenes are decent. Magic blasts! Sword fights! Demon-y things happening!

But again, the execution can be a bit… uneven. Some fights are genuinely cool.

Others feel like they exist solely to create opportunities for, ahem, "accidental" groping.

The Unpopular Opinion

Okay, here it is. My completely subjective, possibly heretical, opinion: How Not to Summon a Demon Lord is… aggressively mediocre.

It's not terrible. It's watchable. It's just… there.

Like the beige wallpaper of anime. Bland, inoffensive, easily forgettable.

Why the Hate (Or Lack Thereof)?

I'm not saying it's bad. Plenty of people enjoy it! If you like fan service and overpowered protagonists, you might love it.

But for me, it lacks substance. It feels like it's relying too heavily on cheap thrills.

Give me a compelling story, interesting characters, and maybe a little fan service. Not the other way around.

The Verdict

So, what's the final rating? I’d give How Not to Summon a Demon Lord a solid... 5/10.

Perfectly average. Not good, not bad. Just… average.

Watch it if you're bored. But don't expect a masterpiece. Maybe grab some popcorn and mentally prepare yourself.

Your Turn!

But hey, that's just my opinion! What do you think?
