Now that the show established its premise and character cast, they actually go on a mission outdoors. I couldn't take that cat seriously though...felt like it the little guy just came into this season out nowhere.

Not going to lie, character reactions in this anime is still comedy gold. I still love Megumin's confidence in this anime though..seems like out of all the academy students, she still stands out the most. Arue doesn't seem to have react as much as others. Can't wait to see more of this cast's shenanigans!

So... that's how Megumin got Chomusuke. Nice. Komekko is so adorable and all of Megumin's friends are nice. It was cool to see that Crimson Demons are always like that. Destroying everything without thinking. LOL. But, it was nice that they were able to rebuild the village. The ED both visually and song-wise was great.

Hmm i guess a dagger would be a good backup weapon for mages. So thats how Megumin found her cat. Magical amp sure sounds pretty useful. Sounds like the dungeon's mid tier mons are starting to get free. The adults really made a mess of things in the village though. Looks like they cut loose way too much. Im glad that the repairs were speedy. Pretty cute ending theme by Rieri and Aki though.

I feel it's still rather weak. The chuuni cringe and recklessness were good. The ntr joke and the guy in the whole were funny, too. The rest was only OK. Ish. Megumin feels like a different character every few minutes and I couldn't care less about the girls among themselves.

After watching this I don’t feel like it was bad. 
But after you mention darkness and panty thief…
Yeah, you have a point…

This episode was for most of the part hilarious as hell. Komekko just too damn cute and her voice actor is killing it. Well, that's how Megumin got her beloved pet, Chomusuke. Following up with an outdoor mission to save the village from some monsters. Let's say that it ended up against some pretty big monsters, aka gargoyles. Oh man, the reactions when they've got spotted by one got me rolling on the floor. 
The best part of the episode was for sure the principal and the other adults going crazy with their magic, shit got me laughing so hard. 
Eh, megumi's brother was decent IG.

Character interaction, reactions and comedy are gold.

ED revealed. The animation is hilarious and I think suits this series well. And the song is performed by the VAs of Megumin and Yunyun! That's so cute! I couldn't help but smile.

I also smiled through the rest of the episode. Seems like Chomosuke debuted in this episode lol. But she's not called Chomosuke yet.

The NTR joke caught me off-guard.

Well, Megumin is being hard on Yunyun, especially at the point of seeing each other as rivals.

Ah, it's the Chomusuke origin story of how Komekko found the demonic cat, which landed in Megumin's hands, and proclaimed to the class that the yet-unnamed cat is her familiar. But of course, Red Prison would not allow animals in school, except for Megumin's case it's her usual Chuuni style that allows her to keep it, and a group activity to qualm the tomb of the Dark God. What a cuckold moment for Megumin from Arue, for Yunyun to be paired with another group.

Beating innocent monsters up is heartless, but it's all for training as Crimson Demons. And when a gargoyle comes attacking, some dude comes shelding them, at the expense of finding his love. Within the expectations of the Red Prison staff involved to alleviate the village from rampaging gargoyles, they would go too far to break and restore it after the deed has been done.

Better give Chomusuke a name, otherwise it would inherit Megumin's name forever.

These people have a horrible naming sense.. we know that, but still it feels hilarious.

Felt classic Konosuba, with those meme worthy faces, flashy magic spells and girls going full chunni. Another good one.

Chomusuke is here! This show's great, but the voice acting and character reactions are really the main reasons why I'm enjoying it so much. The jokes are pretty hilarious, but that NTR joke came out of nowhere. The characters are all awesome so far, we'll see where we go from here. Just more classic Konosuba humour this episode.

Wanted little more Wolbach this episode but I guess that's for another time. Loved how Arue kept her cool and was deadpan during the Gargoyle jumpscare but caved in disgust as Bukkororii's creepy stalker plan to white knight his crush. Also her NTR joke, off rip was hilarious since it was well timed.

Decent episode, the last one too, and some few bits of humor too... But yeah, it feels lacking in interest and stuff. Is it just the spinoff is less good, or maybe the different studio..? Honestly i'm still pretty worried about that latter part, especially considering what the studio's other works are like

Man anime this season are outright fire. The vibe of 2015 is what I am getting, most of the anime has dime of thought in them, everything is good as I like. I always felt that Megumin is useless because of the only magic she can use but now considering the way she felt and the reasoning, I think it is quite cool and absolutely think the same as her.
This episode was an complete treat, it's been quite an while since I felt like this. The feeling which I got watching anime in 2020 is what I am getting. Stellar writing with a ton of thought behind in it, in order to make the anime enjoyable to the viewer. The jokes are not overused, fresh. The animation is lovely. The ED was quite cute as well.
I am quite stoked to see what this season holds this year. This is what I wanted ever since 2020. I think watching Death Note yesterday was the season I am so elated right now but yeah! I really love this season, it's quite sad that I may not be able to watch anime at all from May xD

Does anyone still remeber that Megumin exists only because of the foolish inventor who built the walking fortress, which caused a calamity and destroyed everything in its path? That was probably the funniest scene in Konosuba for me.

Everyone in this village is beyond extra even the damn teachers! Going way overboard with those attacks to fight off the gargoyles. The girls were trying so hard to make them stop even after the gargoyles were all dead. Decorative gargoyles that came alive and attacked! Talk about wild things going wrong in the village. But I suppose that's just typical for the crimson demons, they get into all kind of crazy situations. At least it got fixed literally overnight. The girls class being them all having to take down a helpless monster was kind of sad. The ones not wanting to kill the bunny made me laugh. Megumin was totally for it! Her trying to coax Dondoko into killing the bunny only for that gargoyle to appear in the tree. The reaction faces upon seeing they creepy thing were priceless. Total shock and I would be too, that gargoyle was dropping and looked deranged. I loved the comedy in this episode with the cat Komekko found and Megumin adopted. Her newly minted familiar which everyone accepts. Very adorable cat Megumin now has and gets to bring to school. Her convincing the teacher was funny saying the cat was a fragmented part of her soul.

This was a big step up from episode 1 that almost made me drop the series. The men of the crimson demons are the best part for me. Love the instructors and the stalker guy. It was also fun seeing Megumin go ham using a physical weapon on monsters since I always assumed she only used magic. I liked the ntr joke and overkill from the instructors on the town. A solid 4/5 this episode.

While I do like seeing the characters again, so far, this doesn't really have the same charm the original cast had together. Lacking that Kazuma's tsukkomi. Having other characters play the role kind of feel out of place and doesn't really hit the mark. The chuuni dialogue can get tiring fast if the entire cast is chuuni. Hoping the humor picks up.

Thanks to Komekko, she found the adorable Chomusuke and Megumin was able to keep her at school, which was nice. Then came along that NTR joke, which not only caught me off guard, but the way that Megumin responded in anger while blushing had me laughing hard for a good while! XD

This is the classic Konosuba that I know and love. The facial expressions were plenty and wacky and seeing the teachers and the other men of the village using their magic to try and kill off the gargoyles was hilarious, mostly down to the fact that they were doing more damage to the village instead, all while being as crazy as possible while casting magic.

This series knows how to make me feel entertained! =D

The ED song was very catchy and chill, which is a good tonic of relaxation after laughing so much in this episode. The animation style for the ED segment was goofy, but cute, both in a good way.

Hate to say it, but this show is just not working for me.  Even though Megumin is a rather beloved character, her bit isn't really the funniest part of konosuba... thus I think why the humor in this show feels kind of flat.  

Nice to see chomusuke though…. Cute cats are always a plus.

Looks like the comedy is ramping up a bit, definitely a fan of that. Looks like Komekko was the one that found that black cat originally, I’m happy that she’s happy that she defeated it but I’m glad Megumin took it over lol, and her trying to explain why she needs the cat in class was pretty funny, looks like if it’s creative and edgy enough they’ll allow anything at the school lol. And before the girls grouped up I found Arue’s NTR or cuckold comment to be funny too, I wasn’t expecting it lol.

And damn the gargoyle bit was good, the girls’ reactions were hilarious and they thankfully got saved by that dude in the hole (his name already escapes me) but he ended up being a bit of a wacko with his Soketto obsession so the girls ditched him after he just saved them lol. And the last bit with the old dudes “saving” the village was pretty hilarious, love how they kept looking back the whole time too lol. And it occurred to me in that scene that it’s cute when Megumin is an edge lord, but when it’s a lot of men it looks kinda cringe lol, but that’s part of what makes it so great.

And I have to mention how amazing that ED was, I loved the art and the song carries the torch of Konosuba in being a chill song, it also takes me back to last spring season with Spy x Family’s first ED, such a relaxing jam, I think that’ll definitely be a favorite of mine this season.

It was okay, I guess I'm not much of a fan of Megumin but it's decent enough. I just miss the cast of KonoSuba tho, especially Darkness (best girl). Nonetheless, the NTR take was funny, and the characters facial expressions are gold, the part where they destroy the village was pretty comical.
