    Needs a Season 2

    Black Summoner was a pretty good anime. Nothing too crazy for an isekai, but it still had its own unique vibe. The animation was decent-not amazing, but solid enough. They used some CGI or 3D here and there, but it wasn't overdone or anything, so it didn't really bother me. Probably only used it in like 5-10 scenes anyway.

    It had some cool moments and characters I actually liked. Definitely worth a watch if you're just looking for something chill to pass the time. Though I gotta say, I imagined the goddess would look way different than how she actually turned out lol.

    Came out in 2022, and we still don't have a season 2... and with that ending?! Yeah, I need it ASAP.

    Good, but not the best

    It's a good isekai anime when you need a filler to watch while your favs are in off-season. The animation is good, but I don't really care for the attempted integration of these half 3D-cel shaded graphics in some of the battle scenes. It just feels unnecessary and kind of pulls me out of the fantasy.

    The character development is okay, it's not very deep, but enough to keep my interest.

    I think the main issue I had was trying to watch the dub version. I'm not sure what they were thinking in casting the English language voice actors, but it was a huge fail, especially the MC voice actor. The voice and the drawn character do not match at all. I got through about half an episode and switched to subbed because it was just too distracting and became an annoyance trying to watch the series.

    Aside from that, it's a fun little anime, but one I probably wouldn't wait for a follow-up season.

    The best "Isekai" series I have seen!

    (12+) The best "isekai" anime I have come across, and very worth the watch. Many of the other series in this niche have a character from our world thrust into a fantasy world and bend themselves into pretzels trying to explain why their seemingly mediocre skills make them so powerful. Not this one! His skill set makes total sense, and yeah, he should stomp everyone! (And does!) The supporting characters were terrific with a lot of cool battles. Highly recommended!

    I suggest you see this anime it is really graet

    I was searching for new isekai anime to see in the IMDb,after I saw add about the black summoner , I searched in the IMDb but after seeing the only comment in the box I tried it, it is having a very grateful story line,mystery,op mc it is great having emotion and beside the animation is great I'd like see it once more,do not forget try it.the mc in the anime is also great , the fan service is also good, the side character development is cool, like reference to the black night and the elf, it shows more about the fantacy world , demen king hero stuff , I'd like to add the action,comedy, everything about try it.

    Don't deserve to give a try

    Eww this anime is a absolute mess with a bunch of wierd onichans overpowered MC without brain and thinks he is smart even the side characters are out of line. Every story arc look same literally this is like a wasted loop. Everytime this dumb MC saves girls from trouble and train them and repeat. After the training their XP would be like 75 to 85 and they successfully promoted to S rank. Literally this anime don't have a good fight with any of protagonists. It's like a dumb story with dumb characters like a world of goons and this has a continuation for second part literally this anime is for small brains.
