Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!

After dying a laughable and pathetic death on his way back from buying a game, high school student and recluse Kazuma Satou finds himself sitting before a beautiful but obnoxious goddess named Aqua. She provides the NEET with two options: continue on to heaven or reincarnate in every gamer's dream—a real fantasy world! Choosing to start a new life, Kazuma is quickly tasked with defeating a Demon King who is terrorizing villages. But before he goes, he can choose one item of any kind to aid him in his quest, and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a grave mistake—Aqua is completely useless!

Unfortunately, their troubles don't end here; it turns out that living in such a world is far different from how it plays out in a game. Instead of going on a thrilling adventure, the duo must first work to pay for their living expenses. Indeed, their misfortunes have only just begun!

Konosuba is a sort of relaxing comedy isekai. Before anything else, I want to say that I really enjoyed the outro, which sounds like "farm music" if you can imagine that (haha). The 2nd and 3rd seasons regrettably scrapped this outro theme.

There are some running gags, like Megumin the fire mage character casting explosion once a day and wreaking total havoc. And the large breasted knight girl who is clearly way too into BDSM.
The show is generally a bunch of light-hearted squabbling between the characters in some humorous plot settings.

This is very different than a lot of isekai type shows which are about an overpowered ... main character being overpowered, which is a nice plot point maybe 1 in 20 times or less.

Would recommend giving it a watch.

Mixed Feelings

Konosuba is a silly comedy isekai, we follow Kasuma, a NEET loser who dies in the dumbest of ways, since he had a sad, shallow life he's allowed to reincarnate in a new world with a huge advantage to help him defeat the demon lord and his generals.

The animation is generally fine, although there's moments where you can notice a really sloppy job, but other scenes look like the entire budget went there. The characters are again generally fine, Aqua the goddess is very flawed: she's lazy, egocentric and cowardly, this along with her innate power makes her very interesting, same for Megumin who captures ... a girl adolescent quite well: Strong-willed, innocent, stubborn and playful, this along with her obsession with explosion magic makes her the best character in my opinion, she's relatable, well-written and powerful but with drawbacks. Our MC Kasuma is very perverted and self-centered but in the end he never abandons his allies, his schemes are also very entertaining.

Where it falls off is with Darkness, she's just a blank slate with no personality other than being obsessed with the idea of being raped and tortured, when she's on-screen everything revolves around how she's rabidly and uncontrollably salivating to the idea of being taken advantage of in the most creatively disgusting ways, it gets old really quickly. The surrounding secondary cast is somewhat interesting but filled with "unimportant girl with huge bouncing tits" types.

The pacing is odd, I feel like we're not seeing big chunks of the original story, we get developments like new characters introduced along with big story dumps, overall sometimes things feel rushed, but the story is able to maintain a constant stream of jokes and an entertaining plot, the story is this anime's strongest suit I would say, still very basic. The comedy is not the best, it usually revolves around fanservice, this is also one of those animes that insist on giving the audience creepshots up girl's skirts and chests, this includes girls that look very underage...

I really liked the cute, peaceful intros and songs with soft pretty visuals and a lovely sound design.
Even with all my criticisms I found this show funny with a mostly charming cast, but after seeing more, I can confidently say it doesn't get better than this.

I'm gonna be honest with you, I stayed away from this anime after seeing the Sylvia and orc girls scenes on Twitter. Only later to find out that it was from one of the movies, not the show. So I forced myself to watch the show. Normally, I would stay away from these types of anime since they're mainly uninteresting and use tropes I hate, but I decided to make an exception to see if my hatred for this show was justified or not. After watching this season, I can say with full confidence, my hatred for this anime is valid. However, while I do ... find a lot of it insufferable and unfunny, I will admit that, as a satire, it does a fine job, some of the jokes are funny even though I didn't laugh, and the chemistry between Kazuma and Megumin was cute. Besides that, I still don't like it and have no plans on re-visiting it. I'm just glad to be finished and to get all this out of my system.
