It may have been a while since the show was released to DVD and longer since it aired, but the folks at Nozomi Entertainment are rolling out a new clip for the anime series You’re Being Summoned, Azazel. With a lot of older shows never getting the opportunity to have easy to access and legal clips online it’s definitely a good way of getting a little more out there, especially silly clips like this one. I will say, having seen the series, that a clip like this needs a heck of a lot more context, though!
Check out our review of the series here. Nozomi released it back in February 2015 on DVD.
The series is based on the manga by Yasuhisa Kubo, You’re Being Summoned, Azazel and features animation by Production I.G (Ghost in the Shell: Arise, Psycho-Pass), and is directed by Tsutomu Mizushima (Girls und Panzer, Another). The series originally aired in Japan on AT-X, with the first season airing from April to July 2011 and the second season running from March to June 2013.
Plot concept: Have a stalker you just can’t shake? Fear your spouse is being unfaithful? You might consider hiring Akutabe, a detective who summons demons to do his dirty work. While his methods might seem unorthodox, he always gets results. However, as powerful as Akutabe is, manipulating demons is delicate art. His new part-time employee Sakuma, a young college girl, doesn’t get to spend too much time exploring the finer points of controlling demons before Akutabe forces her into a demonic contract with Azazel. Azazel is lazy, lustful and depraved… Everything you’d expect a demon to be. Sakuma needs to keep Azazel on a tight leash, but to do that, she may have to dabble in a little depravity herself.
