How Not to Summon a Demon Lord season 2

 Diablo and his companions are back for another 10 episode series of adventures of a completely OP demon lord in an isekai world.



And I liked the first season, perhaps not the greatest of series I ever saw, but it was enjoyable.

This adventure starts when a priestess in distress prays for help from her God, and instead gets Diablo, falling from the sky as a flight spell didn`t work as planned.  he quickly overcomes her assailant, and learns a civil war is brewing inside the ranks of the church.  Together with Rem and Shera he decides to help Lumachina out and escort her to Zircon Tower.

Arriving there, they are met and joined by a young rogue, Horn.  They soon meet the ruler of the city, Laminitus, and the head paladin they had set out to find, Battuta.  However, he quickly betrays them, kidnapping Lumachina and Rem to offer them for the seven sins... .  So while they can quickly overcome the trap, yet the confrontation with Battuta takes more then he anticipated, and Lumachina gets cursed with a fatal disease.
 

 
The cure for the disease is to be found in a dungeon Diablo actually designed in his own world, and as such he knows how the traps work and they can get through them.  he gets reunited with his machine maid Rose, and as he cures Lumachia he also upscales the party's gear... after he found out Horn actually being a girl.  But as they want to return to Zircon Tower, they learn it is under attack by Varakness, who wants to add Laminitus to his harem.  Diablo intervenes and defeats the Fallen warlord, but wonders who the demon lord is that ordered the attack... 

After an intermezzo with Klem and Edelgard rolling up an extortionist gang, the party moves to the capital to confront the church and it's head cardinal, Vishos, the man behind the order to kill Lumachina.  While he summons the huge Europa monster, never the less Diablo and Lumachina are able to overcome it, even though hard pressed, and restore the church and the believer's faith once again...

Now, truth be told, I didn`t enjoy this season as much as the first.  The story arcs seem to be to rushed as it contains only 10 episodes, and we have the head paladin, the dungeon, the siege AND the cardinal "stories in the overarching story" meaning everything gets passed by in about 2 episodes each.  And the jokes feel a bit to much recycled from the first season, just with other girls in his harem.



While good to watch 1 or 2 episodes every evening, I didn't get the "much watch the next episode now" vibe at all with this season, so for me, it was pretty average this time round.  

Though maid Edelgard is hawt!  Pity she doesn`t have a figure, or I'd get it immediatly.
