The summer 2018 anime adaptation of the How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord light novels wrapped up quite a bit ago and we’ve got a second season coming as part of the spring 2021 season. While that’s still a good bit away, the Japanese side has updated in a way that only Japan seemingly can. With a sexy new key visual released focusing on Lumachina, that alone would be enough. That it’s the third of four designs coming out over the next month ups the ante. But what does it in more? We get a tweet with a 3D stereo recording of her as played by Yu Serizawa talking to the listener a bit before drifint off to sleep so you can hear her soft coos and breathing.
*fidget*
Check out the latest addition below and catch up on previous ones with the visuals and… audio.
Crunchyroll has already announced their plans to simulcast the series and the details will be formalized when the show gets closer next year. They’ve already set the availability for viewers in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS.

Plot Concept: In the MMORPG Cross Reverie, Takuma Sakamoto is so powerful that he is lauded as the “Demon Lord” by other players. One day, he is summoned to another world – but with the same appearance, he had in the game! There, he meets two girls who both proclaim themselves to be his Summoner. They had performed an Enslavement Ritual to turn him into their Summon… but that’s when Takuma’s passive ability <> activated! Instead, it was the girls who had become enslaved! Though Takuma may have been the strongest Sorcerer there was, he had no idea how to talk with other people. That’s when he makes his choice: to act based on his persona from the game!
“Amazing? But of course… I am Diablo, the being known and feared as the Demon Lord!”
So begins a tale of adventure with an earth-shakingly powerful Demon Lord (or at least someone who acts like one) taking on another world!
