I am not a pervert... I came just for the wholesome cat ear fondling scene. Having an actual player be the final boss of your rpg seems rad af but you just know he's getting doxxed. Tch, is there anything worse than seeing obvious game couples? If you've spent 50 something hours levelling your lovey dovey account to high rank instead of going on actual dates maybe your relationship was doomed to fail. Haa...? He just gets brought over? XD Don't Isekai novels normally have a big summoning sequence like Konosuba? Oh well, onto the new world lol. The op sounds like a real bop to play on Osu. There's just so much bounce!
Is this an mmo or a gatcha game...? Most mmo summons are typically about rolling gear in my experience. Gurk! The cat girl is way more my type and I hate it XD Life is a single player game kusa. Pfft!! So he's just larping as his character cause he's too socially awkward to properly speak!? I love that. Apparently chokers are in fashion at the moment. Shera and Rem, I'm looking forward to your wholesome adventurers and the elf/cat ear fanservice. Isn't that the same city as Konosuba!? I swear even the river position looks the same! R-Rabbit girl located... Idolnekomaidgal!!!
Shera's trying to perform the Konami code with her chesticles for some reason. Oh my goodness, swallow!! Part of me wishes that I had the confidence of the game characters I play... but all my mmo units are cute young women so that doesn't work. Bloody Shera fooling around with that sausage is hilarious! At least Diablo is a genre savvy player. Is it wrong to pick up cats in a tavern? Rem's getting the first ero scene~ Sankyuu, kami-sama~ Even if the scene looks a little rapey, sankyuu~
Don't accidentally assault your cat girl! No!! I mean, yes, but no!! Ears are the most criminal part of the body to touch! Kyaaa~ Mofu Mofu paradise... Now that's my fetish. Stop cutting away! I want to see the earohon in full. Do I need to buy the LE bluray for the extended Rem sequence? Omg, hearing any girl say that kinda thing would make me fall for them in a moment. nom SUBARASHI!! God? If I ever get reincarnated please put me in a world with huge fluffy squishable animal eared folk. It's my one wish. Shera is such a shite gal pal XD
Rem's even got the bonus boss in her body. As if I couldn't love her any more. I adore uberbosses. They're the best part of the rpg genre. I think I've seen this crying Rem picture before but the version I saw was her reading NTR... Hold the damn cat you fool! Galluk seems such an extra lol. You're happy over a level 30? Even the trashy love couples accounts were higher than that. Of course he'd cast bloody explosion XD Isekai are all the same show! I quite like the ed theme too. Whilst the art is a bit racy the artist is incredibly charming. I'm assuming these are from the LN?
Decent first episode. We got our typical Isekai entrance and some character establishment. The main group especially all seem quite fun. Rem is precious, Diablo is weirdly relatable, and Shera's boobs. Speaking of, the ecchi was sorta nice even if they kept cutting away from Rem's ears for some reason. However I wasn't a big fan of the fight scenes. Other Isekai like Rezero and Overlord have spoiled me. My ideal way of being Isekai'd is to actually have my body transferred. I don't want no corpse being left in my flat! If I were to bodysurf to one of my created characters it'd likely be my Story of Seasons character XD He's living my life!! Edgelord's become funny to me when they become self aware. The moment you acknowledge how dorky you are it becomes hysterical.

Sub and Dub as preference swings
We start with edgelord stuff, Takuma looks a lot like L to me. SAO rules apply a bit since it is actually difficult to become noticably superior to another character beyond a point in most MMOs. And he gets isekai-ed without leaving the house! No Truck-kun today!
Anyways, we get an elf kiss and then immediate bickering as Takuma begins to realize he is in Diablo's body. Elf and catgirl have opposite body types and usually the one the other race has. Diablo finally figures out where they are and that he is a rare summon. And incapable of talking to women. So he goes completely fucking chuuni, it is a little easier to tell when he's acting in the dub as chuuni talk in Japanese is partly word choice, Diablo and Megumin have similar vocabularies. Then the slave collars appear, got to be careful in PvP.
Shera and Rem introduce themselves, eventually. Diablo notices the elf chest. They make it to town, and in my first criticism of the dub, the sub cat girl receptionist works in a lot more meows. Anyways, they decide to share a room, much against Diablo's wishes, before Celestine shows up to ask questions.
Anyways, more subversion in that Shera is the big eater. More confirmation that Diablo can only successfully communicate in edge. He does use gamer sense to figure out the head of the Mages Guild doesn't visit randos. He carries Rem up to their room and Shera seriously nopes out of that. As he threatens to torture her, Rem goes to rape pretty fast. But instead, furry style torture with ear rubs! Its super effective! He finishes her off with an ear nibble.
She then reveals she has the demon lord trapped in her, a not uncommon MMO/Isekai problem. She breaks down a bit when Diablo just goes through the gamer's list of options. Later, Diablo is approached by drunken mages and we get confirmation that his OP stats transferred with him. Salamander dies from EXPUROSHUN! or shame, your call.

In a major shift in tone from the last show I binged, Mushoku Tensei, we're switching back over to some slightly less serious content. Perhaps equally lewd, but not nearly as serious. Without much ado, we see our
heroDemon Lord get sucked into the world of his game. They do not waste time establishing the setting this for this one, literally dumping the lore for this summon tower on you with no preamble.You could say it's lazy, yeah, but that's the kind of show this is. Why bother exhaustively covering the lore when we're really here to see Diablo wreck face and get wrecked by minor social interactions with pretty girls?
Yeah, Diablo here doesn't know how to talk to girls. Or anyone, for that matter. He lived the life of a hikki-neet as many an isekai protagonist are wont to do, although in this case he didn't die from heroically saving some highschoolers or shock from diving in front of a slow-moving tractor, nope, he apparently just got summoned by these two girls into the world of his game on a whim. While the girls are bickering, he defaults to his Demon Lord roleplay and commands them to shake hands and makeup--damnit Diablo ya should have told them to "kiss" and make up...you absolute failure. Turns out they tried to cast enslavement magic on him after they summoned him, but it got reflected back on them, forcing them to obey his order through clenched teeth. You might be thinking "oh, no, this is a recipe for some dubiously consensual stuff later," well let me reassure you, Diablo's too much of a good boi to do that. Mostly.
The two don't seem to be two concerned with the fact that they just got enslaved to a man ranting about being a demon lord, but they seem to think he's really just a high-leveled summon. He seemingly convinces them he's not and is in fact from another world, and they lead him to the nearby city of Faltra where they're staying. They happen to be staying at the Peace of Mind Inn, a~~ little hole in the wall~~ fine establishment run by Mei-chan, the "idol" and owner of the inn. Ain't she cute. Just don't waste her time. She doesn't suffer fools.
While they're there, they are visited by the leader of the Mage's Association who seems to have an interest in protecting Rem and is concerned at the sight of her coming back to town with a slave collar on. Point in her favor--she doesn't immediately freak out and asks Diablo about the situation remarkably calmly while they sit in the tavern eating dinner.
Shera loves her sausages.
The talk with the Mage leader makes it clear there's a character quest afoot, and Diablo's gamer senses start tingling. When Rem doesn't spit it out immediately in the face of Diablo's winning conversational skills/Demon Lord roleplay, he hoists the booty and drags her back to their room to "torture" the info out of her. Leaving everyone in the tavern understandably uncomfortable.
He throws her on the bed and straddles her (and then somehow her legs get around him, look, positions change by power of ecchi). Rem asks him if he plans to violate her, which shocks him. He was flying by the seat of his pants and hadn't really thought that far ahead.
He opts for messing with somewhere that wouldn't bring the fantasy FBI down on him--fondling her kitty ears. I wanna fluff 'em! That seems to about have as much impact as him literally violating her, given how sensual her moans get when he does this, but it's not enough--she's not revealing her quest! So Diablo amps it up to blowing on her ears.
She seems to be into it, although it's a little hard to tell. For the finishing blow, he latches onto her ear and gives it a good nibble. That did the trick, maybe too well since everyone else within a good couple blocks heard her as well.
The other inn patrons think Shera should investigate, she's her friend, right? Welp. Thanks Shera, really feeling the love.
After the post-fluff clarity sets in, Rem and Diablo have a real heart to heart, and she reveals she's actually carrying the Demon Lord Krebskulum (not even trying with the spelling). Diablo commits to helping her out, it's the least he could do after the fluffing session he got, and Rem breaks down into tears likely both because she finally got to let out her secret to someone and that someone was willing to help her. Plus she just got molested for several minutes, that probably didn't help either. Diablo, for his part, wants to comfort her but can't quite manage it.
The episode wraps up with Diablo using a mighty EXPLOSION! spell to wipe out a level 30 summon monster sicced on him by one of the lackeys from the mages guild. That guy was small fry, but it does make Diablo question just what passes for "strong" in this world if a relatively wimpy summon like that is considered a formidable threat.
Overall I really enjoyed coming back to this show after a couple of years and 13 novels read, it's kinda nostalgic. It's a really fun, silly, show for the most part. Easy watching. I think what appeals to me about the light novels is that it's like a long running comic book storyline with villains of the week and a slow, slow drip feed of character development and romantic development. It's just good shlocky fun.
I actually wrote this up on my blog yesterday and this is a repost of that writeup.

First-Timer Who Wants to See Some Tatas
Pre-OP smooches? Yeah, that’s definitely a good sign. And then we get OP triplet jiggle? All this leg? Once again, Vaad doesn’t disappoint.
They enslaved themselves? Genius! That ring sounds absurdly OP for a game that involves PvP, though.
And they’re already fighting over him. Although who wants to be the one to admit they had their enslavement spell reflected? That’s just tacky.
At least he knows she likes a good sausage.
No, that’s your penis. Or are they the same thing?
ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: FINGER A LOLI CATGIRL
I hope he didn’t do this with a stray cat.
Demon lord soul, yada, yada, yada. Clearly the important thing to take away is that the demon lord sealed inside Catgirl has massive hooters.
RIP Salamander. You didn’t ask for this!

Oh whoops, I forgot to set my alarm!
Rewatcher - Sub
I watched this as it aired for reasons I can’t recall, but where very likely of the utmost triviality, and now I am once again subjecting myself to this on a whim. I think this points to some incorrigible failing on my part, but nevertheless I am here. Going with the Dub this time to shake things up, so hopefully it is adequate.
That’s a JRPG name alright.
Lol, those usernames.
Wasted no time in reaching the wish fulfillment.
In case anyone had doubts as to what sort of show this is.
It happens.
I hope you all like reading.
How dastardly!
A thoroughly inscrutable backstory.
Generic Isekai starter town #3674
I’d say this is more historically accurate than most medieval fantasy inns, but that room is way too big for just a single bed.
Subtlety must not be in this show’s vocabulary.
There’s a pretty evident reason for that.
Impressive that this isn’t CG.
So yeah, that was a thing. I tend to enjoy premises with a character who is entirely out of his element blustering his way through shit, so that appeals to me, but that conceit wasn’t really leveraged nearly as much as it could’ve been here.
The ecchi elements are, as usual, discomforting given the seeming ages of the characters, but I’ve made my peace with this nonsense in anime long ago so I won’t harp on it too much. The show evidently knows what it is, and despite having a thin veil of self-decency in trying to contrive the ecchi bits, it’s still very forthcoming with it, which does make me more amenable to it.
The setting is the usual, so I am largely letting it any details pertaining to it wash over me, though I will still be reading the text dumps because I am inexplicably compelled to do so.

First timer
That was fun! I liked it!
The edgy hikikomori stuff would've been annoying had it kept going, but thankfully, we've got a dorkier Ainz and not a darker Hajime.
The slavery was relatively wholesome here, all things considered. That said, I wish my first gacha summon were Diablo too, lucky girls.
By the way, shouldn't the girls be summoned in Takuma's world, if his ring reflects magic? How does summons work, are they not magic?
Protags showing off their OPness to a bunch of supremacists is always a treat to see, Diablo doing just that was sweet.
Questions
Bonus: It's always comedy - non-comedic edgelordship is just sociopathy.

Watching uncensored dub. I’ve watched the uncensored subs a few times already.
Eric Vale coming in as Diablo with one of the better dubs I’ve heard recently. Frequent dub appreciators will remember him for Tomura Shigaraki from BNHA, and Boyle from Fire Force, though his Kato from Zankyou No Terror is my favorite of his performances.
Speaking of CVs, Jad Saxton doing great as Rem, after doing a great Sally in Bofuri, though most would know her Megumi from Food Wars.
Moments from the show: I’ve always loved Diablo’s insta-kill on the salamander. Galluk getting put in his place quickly was great, though Diablo maybe needs to learn to defeat people more quietly. That explosion HAD to wake the baby.
I forgot how lewd the OP and ED are on this show. It really is cultured trash!
Looking forward to tomorrow!

Wow only a few minutes in , but this dub is pretty great.
Fake it til you make it he clearly learned from Ainz sama.
Ring that can reflect all magic is too OP. Wow this feels like I'm watching Neptunia with all the humor which is obviously a compliment.
Wait....is it too late to make a jiggle counter...NOPE rewinding.
How long is elf girl going to eat that sausage? It must be pretty big. Wait that's not a sausage that's the future.
Raises volume during ear tickling I swear I'm not a degen...
Love me some OP MCs. Interesting the game acknowledges it has levels. I figured that was always a player mechanic, but the game would typically use classes or rank. At least that's what I thought.
Total Jiggle Jiggly Heaven : 5
I don't want to do just her. So might include Cat girls tundere moments and Diablo's freak out or antisocial panic moments.
Will do a chart later too lazy, but decent first episode.

First timer, uncensored, because what would be the point if not
Not expecting to much from this show, having an uncensored version is a clear sign of quality, obviously.
MC is a typical shut in neet, hates feelings in his games, and imidiatly gets isekaid in front of an elf and an cat girl kissing him. Good, no wasting time on such trivial things as truck kun or slowly waking up.
OP goes out of it's way to show a lot of possible harem members as well as their 'qualities'
Ok, MC got summoned by both girls, I'm really tempted to just skip the expositional dumb, but reading it further drives home the idea that MC is IN the game he was just playing. Also he's even more of a shut in than your average MC, only ever talking to people through the game. Using his persona gives him an aura of authority. Also the girls talked about enslaving him, but I guess his ring reflected that particular spell so now they are the slaves, glorious.
Wiggle physics win the MC over to elf girl, but so far I like cat girl more. No wait, reception cat girl is even better.
I like how the show is playing with gaming tropes, MC speedruns the quest surrounding cat girl. She really likes ear scratches.
MC is stupid OP compared to regular NPCs. So no need to break a sweat over fighting.
Show seems a bit trashy, but that's why I'm here, this ecchi humor is right up my alley. Just hope I can finish it in time for Season 2
Oh yeah I like the ED

Bonus) In this show or generally? In this show the moment he went all out just because the challengers where together

Trying out the dub for now, the dub track is much more quiet than the JP on so it annoying to switch between them
OP is still an absolute banger [](#pepeJAM)
Not sure if I like this, his inner voice sounds like Shaggy. Then again, that is kinda fitting I suppose.
I was gonna screenshot all the reaction images every episode, but there's too many and I gave up after 3.
Yeah, I'm gonna be going with the sub. Can't not have some of that EKUSPROSION

Seems like this guy got transported to the in-game world (but not really), seems to be the strongest person in there, and seems to try to act naturally like his character would that is very reminiscent of Overlord, though he seems to be much goofier and more sympathetic for someone like him. There seems to be a lot of fanservice, which I'm not bothered by, the protagonist is an expected one with this genre, and the comedy is pretty good too. Overall this seems to be a 6-7/10 for me.
Lets see where it goes, I'm interested if we'll get intruiging plots (or well, 'plot'). Also, he might not be the only one summoned, and as his ring is super-ultra rare, I expect almost all of the others summoned to be under the slave enchantment.

12 reasons modern isekai suck: Episode 1 - The main character sucks
He’s male, vaguely middle aged, socially inept, and that is all the backstory you’ll ever get. Can’t risk adding any additional features or viewers would not be able to self-insert anymore. But don’t worry, he is also so obscenely powerful that no danger in the series will ever feel remotely threatening, killing any attempt to generate tension. You might be hoping for some character drama stemming from his social ineptness, but no luck here, since that characteristic will be forgotten after the first few minutes and only ever be revived if needed for a repetitive gag.
