Summoned to Another World for a Second Time anime review
Summoned to Another World for a Second Time is based on Kazuha Kishimoto's Isekai Shkan wa Nidome Desu light novel series. The narrative centres around a guy who was summoned to another world to be a warrior and saved the world, gaining fame and settling down to live a happy life. However, a trap captures him, and he is deported back to his native planet as a baby. Later, as a high school student, he gets summoned to the other world. On Saturdays, the anime is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
When it comes to anime in the well-known isekai genre, one question must always be asked: What makes this different from the others? How does it put a distinctive twist to the formula in order to produce something new and interesting? The solution is obvious in the title of Summoned to Another World for the Second Time. The story revolves around an isekai protagonist who saves the fantasy realm, returns to Earth, and is then summoned back.
The notion is expanded upon with unique elements that distinguish it from traditional Isekai food. Rather than picking up where he left off, the protagonist is reborn in our world as a newborn, his memories and personality intact. This implies he has a new body and will not be recognized as the renowned hero in the fantasy realm. Furthermore, while he has spent 15 or more years in his second life (as a high schooler) on Earth, only five years have passed in the fantasy realm, providing an intriguing temporal mismatch.
The hero's first summoning also deviated from the norm. He made peace with the demons rather than battling them. Instead of the wicked demon king as the ultimate boss, it emerges that one of his buddies or party members, Touma, was the mastermind behind the battle.

All of these components contribute to the story's aura of mystery. What happened during Setsu's absence of five years? Why are the demons invading once more? What drives the king to see the conflict as an omen of doom? Is Touma still alive and participating in the current conflict? And why has Setsu been summoned once more?
The concept promises a unique and entertaining isekai narrative about what occurs after the hero rescues the world and what his return implies for his former allies and the status of the planet. This story has the potential to be much more in a genre where many stories feel underwhelming. Only time will tell if it lives up to its promise.
