Kuro no Shoukanshi

To prepare for reincarnation in another world, Kelvin gives up select memories from his previous life in exchange for powerful abilities, additional skill points, and an S-class summoner title. As a bonus, the goddess facilitating his rebirth, Melfina, offers him a choice of any companion to give him a head start in his summoner role. Kelvin—who has fallen head over heels for Melfina at first sight—promptly chooses the deity, confident that his ionate feelings for her will resurface even without all of his memories.

Kelvin embarks on his exciting new journey with Melfina as his guide. However, in order to summon his beloved goddess' physical form, he needs to acquire significant amounts of mana points—and the best way to accomplish this is to level up by fighting strong enemies and making contracts with even stronger companions.

Not bad for what it brought to the table

As far as Isekais go as a overly used genre this wasn't bad to watch, ofcourse it has the main concepts of being isekai'd into another world with game mechanics built in and the development of added people that get added to the group essentially making it a bit of a harem (excluding the knight, dog and the slime) it does make for a decent watch as the action is decent, the character backgrounds aren't half assed and pretty much the MC has to work a bit to become powerful which doesn't take too long because of ... the amount of episodes given with the pacing.
The things that didn't make this good are probably how morally upright the MC is so he ends up being like a generic person apart from the battle junkie attitude he has which does make it more interesting but still doesn't outweigh the boringness of being an upstanding citizen like person which is just occasionally annoying and just disinteresting at this point, although I understand it's pretty much the default Japanese personality.
Other things I liked was the soundtrack used which wasn't half bad and kind of enjoyed from time to time.

So if you're thinking about watching this do keep in mind this anime is more classed like the mid season fodder and isn't meant to be taken in the light as if it is a mainstream anime title so you should have no big expectations other than a show to watch that's not bad if you have some time to kill on your hands.

Mixed Feelings

Black Summoner is...

...Basic Harem/Isekai at best, Thankfully a Good Measure Less Pervy than The Majority of The Genre. All in All there are some Redeemable Points, Though I have to give it a Just Under Average 4/10 For being just Another Filler Anime. A Placeholder that Isn't Quite Good Enough to be a Palate Cleanser. The Beach Episode of Anime...



---Pros---
1) Very Positive & Uplifting Vibe
The General Atmosphere is very Positive & Optimistic, Which is a Rare Trait in Modern Action Anime. I see this as a Particularly Rare Plus.

... 2) Quick Watch (12 Episodes)
The Action is Pretty Rare when it does happen it's Decently Animated. It Doesn''t have any Strong Comedic Moments, Though I did get a Couple of Light Chuckles out of It. It holds up Alright as a Background Show, I Wouldn't Recommend it as any kind of Serious Watch, It Excels as Background Material Though.


---Cons---
1) God Awful Pacing
The Pacing is like, How do I make MC Strong enough to rip The World in Half Barehanded? In 4 Episodes? While also making this Show as Slow as Absolutely Possible? MC goes from Who Am I?, Where Am I?, To "I am Level 50" in what feels like 30 Seconds with No Weight. Uninteresting enough to Make You Wish there was Any Action or Intrigue or Anything Exciting at All.

2) Shallow Dialogue/Characters
There Isn't any Real Depth to the Dialogue or Characters. More often than not Dialogue consists of Simplistic Back & Forths that You might see Equivalents in either Porn, or Cartoons targeting 7 year olds. They hit every single 'Girl In A Harem' Tropes.

3) Lackluster Animation
The Animation is at it's best when there is Combat (Which is pretty rare). The rest is alot of Still Frames & Slow Pans of Mundane Scenes.



The Ending is Just as I thought, (Not really an ending at all / A Played Out Cliche' that we all were expecting)
Could've Been Great, Just Another Clone - 4/10
(P.S. The Dub Is Awful)

It's On Par With...
- Banished From The Heroes Party (5/10)
- .hack//Sign (4/10)

If You Love It Watch...
- The Rising Of The Shield Hero (8/10)
- I've Been Reincarnated As A Slime (6/10)



1st Review, I Tried to Keep it Brief & to The Point.
Thanks for giving it a Read.

Blah Blah power fantasy harem garbage. Main character does the things and is so much stronger than everyone else he can't be beat. No real tension, emotional impact, plot beyond "who's the bad guy of today!". Truely another addition to the pile of garbage that is the isekai genre.

It's really sad to see show after show that has at least 1 unique story element have every trope imagineable thrown in, in an effort to make it stand out? For black summoner the story had an initially interesting angle, that the main character willingly trades his memories for power. Perhaps this could have led to him ... rediscovering he was a terrible person, perhaps he fails over and over in different situations because he literally doesnt how life works, what his morals are, etc; but no. Simply uninteresting, bland, and unimpresive in every catagory.
