Premise: Sakamoto Takuma gets summoned into a fantasy world in the form of his powerful MMO character, Diablo. Now he travels with the girls who summoned him looking to undo it.

The Good: This is a typical isekai anime in a lot of ways. It has an overpowered main character, a harem of sexy ladies, a basic fantasy world, and some comedic moments. I dont love anything How Not to Summon a Demon Lord does, but I give it credit for accomplishing what it sets out to do.

The Bad: With only a few exceptions, Im not a huge fan of isekai. The whole genre feels lazy to me. Isekai authors dont need to think too hard about character backgrounds because its always just some dude from the real world. The setting doesnt need to be coherent because its usually some video game knockoff. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord set out to be a typical isekai, and, as I said before, it succeeded. A typical isekai wont score very high with me, however.

Overall: How Not to Summon a Demon Lord is content to wallow in mediocrity. It doesnt do anything egregiously terrible, but it doesnt do anything to rise above the oversaturated genre either. I apologize for mostly talking about isekai in general in this write-up. How Not to Summon a Demon Lord itself wasnt very memorable. It has a second season now but Im in no hurry to watch it.
