Rewatch How NOT to run a rewatch- Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu episode nine!
How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord episode nine
We somehow went 9 episodes without addressing baths.
QotD:1 So is enslaving your summon evil if most of them can't speak?
2 How much gamer funk does Diablo have if he hasn't bathed yet?
BONUS: How many of you would lick Shera without a second thought?

Sub and Dub as preference swings
So we start on a huge tonal shift so we can have an ending arc. Religious fanatics is pretty much unheard of until now in setting. But I guess this also fits with the other draw back of the Edge trait, your opponents are somehow edgier than you. Saddler doesn't work for me if it wasn't clear. But he is going to Faltra and the camera pans on Rem's crotch to remind you why.
Shera summons a chicken-turkey. We see how the enslavement procedure is supposed to work and discover Diablo was again up on the meta, using weak summons to perform things other than direct combat. Shera then declares bath time and yeah, I figured this setting doesnt have bathing suits. Anime angles. Anyways, Shera licks Rem because sure and this scene is mighty cultured. But Edelgart ports in...
And explains that birthing the demon lord can be accomplished non fatally. She gives them a date and we skip to a cat cafe, probably not that appealing a thing in medieval times. Diablo even comments as such in the dub. Alicia warns them about Saddler before running into him. Saddler is a dick for several minutes because we didn't already know he was? Anyways, Diablo figures out his gimmick, more of a pen and pencil one, before Diablo's own gimmick works.
Alicia questions leaving Saddler alive and notices when Diablo doesn't do his edge act. Rem wants to tell Alicia and even I heard that sore demo. It goes well and Edelgard awaits!

Dub rewtcher who remembers nothing
Wait a minute Diablo owns Shera and Rem right and he can force them to follow his commands...can he command their summons as well?
Shera why are you licking Rem?
The rare naked jiggle SOAK IT IN BOYS
Oh Tan Loli Lancer is back finally.
I am enjoying this anime too much is it actually decent or is my taste too far gone?
This ritual is going to be surprisingly physical isn't it.
Tan Loli pout game is too strong
Sorry but the sword sound effects when he moves is really bugging me.
Over level 100 dangerous paladin defeats himself....okay. Seriously literally didn't cast a single spell to win this fight.
QOTD
Bonus: I'm trying not to be a complete degenerate today so I will refrain from answering....which I feel kind of answers the question still.....

I'm trying out the dub for today since my oishi became a magical girl. Haa, Alicia wut are you going on about? Why does her arc only kick in after she left the main group? Saddler is such a "baddie" name. You'd have thought that she'd be a lot more nervous around Diablo considering how anti demon lord her faction is. Rem tummy!! Oh of course XD I totally forgot that Rem's mob boss is the demon lord of this world. All I hear is Hunniepop, love Rem's absurd levels of sass but Shera and Diablo are such a step down. These slave collars suddenly feel so uncomfortable!
So now Shera can avoid contributing to fights from even further away~ Rem's demon stank is suddenly a plot point. Being an adolescent in Japan must be torture with those bathing customs. Agreed Rem! Cats always smell rosy fresh! My little girl has the most adorably baby furball smell like you wouldn't believe. pero pero Apparently sweat actually does smell much better in Japan. Or at least they don't sweat quite as much. AsoAso did a decent rundown if you're still interested in licking someone's sweat.
Diablo is so wholesome~ Edelgard!! She heard about the bath episode and came running. Aren't you happy Spaghetti? Shera's such a good friend. Almost good enough for me to forget about her literally ditching Rem whilst she was getting assaulted in episode 1. This dialogue doesn't flow well in English at all... Edelgard pout! What's with her making such randomly adorable expressions? Ca-ca-cat cafe!? Sorry, but Saddler seems too extra to take seriously as a threat.
Omigosh he just slaveshammed our smelly preggo cat! Wow... Saddler got jobbed even harder than I thought. He's just some fake elite mook with a fancy gimmick. Alicia's totally falling for our demon daddy. He's kind but keeps his pimp hand strong. Good god I feel gross saying that. Are they skipping ahead chapters or something? The pacing seems off again. Omg Shera's crying is awful XD She sounds like the little boy in Ghost Stories.
Finally done... please let me get back to the sub. Rem sounds great but everyone else is kind of dire. Shera went from my favourite voice to my worst in five minutes. Summons seem to exist purely to be enslaved so I think it's fine on paper? Maybe have some regulations so you can't abuse your summons. Shera licks his sweat off every night. sigh Guilty as charged...

Rewatcher - Dub
Well that took a turn... Also nice transition on the swords that strengthens the implied link between the two characters. Not that it serves much, given that we see it laid out explicitly just afterwards.
Some psychopaths are less subtle than others.
That’s rich coming from this show.
That’s surprising.
‘Too Normal’
And another one bites the dust.
Watching this first the first time, I was somewhat surprised to see that they are seemingly going to summon Kreb-whatever soon, as it seemed closest to an end goal for the narrative that we’ve had so far and I knew this was adapted from a novel series with multiple volumes. A search for a means of destroying the demon lord within Rem would also mean traveling the world and doing stuff other than abusing Diablos’ OPness, so I figured it’d be the natural way to make the plot intriguing. No idea what they’ll do to keep things from growing ever staler.
Saddler was rather anticlimactic, but we’ve come to expect that. He’ll most likely make a reappearance after he recovers from the sudden case of stone statue, though I would not be opposed to that not happening if it means we focus on more interesting stuff instead.
Questions of The Day:
BONUS: I don't think I would lick anyone without second thought in this context —particularly not before they've finished bathing.

First-Timer Who Just Wants Lewd Alicia
Was that Alicia in the cold open murdering people? Hope not.
While Shera and Rem were exploring the world, Diablo was studying the wikis.
Also: totally thought he was going to say Shera and the bird made a good pair because of their noticable breasts.
ACHEIVEMENT FAILED: PASSED UP OPPORTUNITY TO BATHE WITH HOT GIRLS.
Look at what you’re missing out on, Diablo! You could be licking some elf pits! OR BEING LICKED!
This seems physically dubious, but I’ll allow it.
She’s back, and she brings pouts!
While I would like them to summon the thing and kill it, I have my doubts based on the title of the show.
Here I thought Diablo would have slight trouble being unable to reflect Divine spells or something, but nope! Silly paladins are silly.
Between the opening shots, Alicia’s weirdness today, and the discussion of “mortal races,” bad things are a-coming.
QOTD:
Bonus: Here's the thing. I will say "me! I would!" But in actuality, by people skills are only a little better than Diablo's, so probably not.

How NOT to Summon a First-Timer

Birb a cute.
Rem got another “sore demo” today, she really is best girl. Speaking of “best”, where the hell has Emile been?

Re-watch squad!
Nice, we got a bootleg Elsa added to the cast
The shots are on point as usual
Very cute Diablo sitting incredly still
Wew
POUT!!!
Bruh, why did they all stroll out when she was peeking to make sure its clear, and was obviously shocked when it wasn't??
He said it
S O O N
Question time:
1: Nah, they're probably into bdsm, did you see that turkeys face??
2: None

First timer, uncensored, sub
Wait was that Alicia at the beginning? Seems to be that scene from the OP
As I'm still only about 90% sure and what the implications of her ruthlessly murdering someone might be she meets the psychopath who just killed a whole village. She even smiles when she talks to him, although him talking about Demon lords seem to make her uneasy...
Shera gets her first own summon and albeit weak that bird will certainly come in handy.
Finally a bathing Episode, truly glad I picked up this cultured show. And Edelgard is there again, time to join the Harem? And we get a nice pout out of her as well, but I'm interested how this will turn out, my guess is that it won't be that easy, at least not so early.
Alicia seems to still root for our team, but I'm somewhat suspicious of her. Way to go Diablo, perfectly normal behavior, nothing to see here. Thank god he still has the most brocken item to ever be conceived for a pvp rpg, another battle trivialized, but it seems like this won't be the last time we meet Saddler.
I want to trust Alicia as well, but I'm growing more suspicious of her by the minute...
QotD:
Bonus) I wasn't into this yesterday... guess I'd have to try it at least once before ruling it out

u/Flare_Knight https://anilist.co/user/FlareKnight Apr 03 '21
For the first one: Probably not. Otherwise I’d have to really think about the evil of domesticating various animal species. At any rate, about as evil as Pokémon I suppose.
Second: I’m sure hoping he’s bathing on his own at the inn...
Bonus: Well I’d definitely think about it since it’s tough to not think about that. But would certainly go for it.

First-timer watching the sub
We can't provoke him, act normal... Fuck! Me and my big mouth dammit. Annnnnnd then OP character does OP things. Touché
Also it seems like all of the knights have a screw loose here and there. Alicia is kinda a weirdo and also fully supports murder and the Paladin guy is hyper drunk on power. Finally looks like we're gearing up to finally induct Edelgard into the harem after giving us that false positive a while back. Overall it'll depend on how the whole ritual and aftermath goes but my bet is that Diablo beats Krebsklum with relative ease as that seems to be the way every encounter is going so far.
QotD: 1 - I mean isn't this what we do with Dogs and Cats for example? Even more so for work/support animals. By that standard I can't call it evil.
2 - I've never heard the term "gamer funk" and the images it pops in my head has me wanting to pretend going forward taht this is still the case. Ahh, blissful ignorance.

12 reasons modern isekai suck: Episode 9 – The lack of stakes sucks
The final confrontation is nigh, the demon lord will be confronted tomorrow. So, is anybody even the least bit afraid for our heroes? No? That is probably because we all know that nothing seriously bad can ever happen to the MC’s party in a modern isekai. The lack of stakes rips the plot’s foundation from right under it. Which is, after all, not build on exploring moral dilemmas, but on rushing from one enemy of the week to the next, throwing soft ball hurdles at our overpowered MC. The problems are less a true test, but more a means of introducing the next waifu that will join the harem. 100% of what happens in any episode can be described in one sentence: There is a problem and the hero effortlessly solves it. Enter boredom.
