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!

💬 English Version

Story: 7.5/10
The story is a comedic twist on the classic isekai formula. Kazuma dies and is reincarnated in a fantasy world—but instead of becoming an overpowered hero, he ends up with a team full of dysfunction. It’s light, chaotic, and doesn’t take itself seriously, which works in its favor.
...
Plot: 7.3/10
There’s not much of a grand plot here—just a series of wild daily misadventures that escalate into chaos. But that's kind of the point. The humor drives the episodes, and every little problem becomes absurdly overblown in hilarious ways.

Characterization: 8.5/10
This is where Konosuba shines. Kazuma is one of the most relatable (and petty) isekai MCs ever. Aqua is useless and loud, Megumin is obsessed with explosions, and Darkness is... well, into pain. Their chemistry is stupidly good, and every interaction is gold.

Animation / Visuals: 7.0/10
The animation isn’t top-tier, but the exaggerated expressions and comedic timing more than make up for it. The intentionally “off-model” style during chaotic scenes just adds to the fun.

Sound / Music / Audio Direction: 8.2/10
Great voice acting, especially for comedic delivery. The OP and ED are catchy, and the sound design plays a big role in landing the jokes.

Execution: 8.4/10
Konosuba knows exactly what it is—an unapologetically dumb and hilarious fantasy comedy. It doesn’t try to be deep, but it’s very confident and polished in what it does best: making you laugh.

🤣 What Makes You Want to Watch This Anime

• A party of complete idiots.
It’s not just funny—it’s intentionally dysfunctional. You don’t watch them grow stronger, you watch them survive their own stupidity.

• Kazuma is way too real.
Unlike the usual isekai protagonists, he’s selfish, sarcastic, and painfully average—and that’s why we love him.

• Perfect chaos energy.
Explosions every day, dramatic overreactions, and quests that go sideways 99% of the time.

• No deep lore—just dumb fun.
This is the kind of anime you watch to relax and laugh after a long day.

• Every episode brings a meme.
Seriously, Konosuba is meme gold.

💬 Versi Bahasa Indonesia

Cerita: 7,5/10
Cerita ini adalah versi isekai yang dibalik total. Kazuma mati dan bereinkarnasi di dunia fantasi—tapi alih-alih jadi pahlawan kuat, dia malah dapat tim yang... rusak semua. Ceritanya ringan, penuh kekacauan, dan justru itu yang bikin seru.

Plot: 7,3/10
Plot utamanya gak terlalu ada, cuma kumpulan kejadian konyol yang makin lama makin absurd. Tapi itu memang niatnya—komedi adalah nyawanya. Setiap masalah kecil bisa jadi bencana besar yang bikin ngakak.

Pengembangan Karakter: 8,5/10
Inilah kekuatan utama Konosuba. Kazuma terlalu realistis (dan petty), Aqua bikin emosi karena terlalu berisik dan gak berguna, Megumin maniak ledakan, dan Darkness... suka disiksa. Tapi interaksi mereka benar-benar lucu dan gak pernah membosankan.

Visual / Animasi: 7,0/10
Animasi bukan yang terbaik, tapi ekspresi dan timing komedinya pas banget. Bahkan gaya gambarnya yang kadang "ngaco" bikin adegan jadi lebih kocak.

Musik / Audio: 8,2/10
Akting suara gokil—terutama pas adegan lucu. Lagu pembuka dan penutup juga gampang nempel, dan efek suaranya bantu banget dalam nyampein punchline.

Eksekusi: 8,4/10
Konosuba tahu betul dirinya anime komedi. Gak berusaha kelihatan dalam atau emosional, tapi justru percaya diri dengan keanehan dan kekonyolannya. Dan itu yang bikin berhasil.

🤣 Yang Menarik dari Anime Ini

• Timnya isinya orang gak bener semua.
Bukan tipe anime yang ngajarin kerja sama tim—ini lebih ke “gimana caranya mereka gak mati karena kebodohan sendiri.”

• Kazuma itu terlalu relatable.
Dia bukan pahlawan, dia cuma cowok biasa yang pengen hidup santai. Komennya sinis tapi lucu banget.

• Kekacauan yang nikmat.
Setiap hari ada ledakan, drama berlebihan, dan misi yang berantakan dari awal sampai akhir.

• Gak usah mikir, tinggal ketawa.
Pas banget buat yang mau nonton tanpa beban. Gak ada plot berat, cuma hiburan murni.

• Episode-nya banyak bahan meme.
Serius, hampir semua adegannya bisa jadi meme—dan memang niat ke situ.

Mixed Feelings

I came to this series from the recommendation of a friend when I asked him for a solid comedy anime. I hadn't really been jiving with the comedic bits of other anime like FMA:B and Steins;Gate, and I wanted to test whether this was just a fluke of a few shows, or whether Japanese comedy as a whole simply doesn't translate well to English. After watching Konosuba, I'm increasingly coming to the conclusion that the latter interpretation is correct. I've heard that Japanese comedy can be big on wordplay which I'm sure would get absolutely mangled by translation issues. Some turbo-weeaboos might claim this means ... I'm unable to properly judge the genre, as I'm not really getting the full experience unless I've learned the language. I understand their position, but I'm going to ignore those people and consistently judge anime purely by the end result of its English-language attempt.

The jokes in anime mostly consist of the following: 1) characters overreacting to things, 2) lewd cringe comedy, and 3) a handful of gags that are repeated ad nauseum (often involving characters overreacting to things, or lewd cringe comedy). Maybe 12-year-olds would find this stuff hilarious, but I'd reckon that most adults wouldn't find this list to be a particularly fertile field for laughs. There are 4 primary characters in Konosuba: Kozuma, who is the Joe Average protagonist, and his 3 female companions. Each of these 3 companions has a single gag that's repeated over and over. For Aqua, it's that she's technically a goddess but she acts like a toddler. For Megamin, it's that she can only cast one big spell before flopping over and being useless for the rest of the battle. For Darkness, it's that she's a horny masochist (of the meme variety) who becomes *blushy crushy* whenever she's physically or emotionally attacked. None of these gags are funny. Very few of the other jokes were funny either. A few made me smirk, and a tiny percentage made me do a light chuckle (e.g. the result of Kozuma's "steal" spell, which is just quintessentially Japanese), but nothing really beyond this. I don't think laughter is the *only* metric that comedy ought to be judged by, but it's undoubtedly a pretty big portion. As such, "it's not that funny" is pretty damning cricism of a show that spends a plurality of its time trying to tell jokes.

If there's anything that salvages the show, it's that it slowly morphs into a halfway decent character drama. Season 1 is practically a sitcom with each episode being mostly self-contained, and only a handful of details mattering from episode to episode. The show is at its worst here, as the characters are mostly static and the show only has its comedy to carry it. By season 2 the creators started playing with longer narratives and character development, and then by season 3 they had fully embraced both. I'll be darned if I didn't start to care about the characters by the end, even though many of these overarching developments were quite silly, like "will the loli form a relationship with the protagonist given that she clearly wants to gargle his dick" and "will the muscley armored girl be forced to submit to the life of a servile housewife". However, the show was still uneven in some places, with Aqua in particular being almost forgotten relative to Megamin and Darkness.

If the show keeps following the trajectory it's been on, then I *might* be convinced to watch future seasons if they're ever made.

Not Recommended

Honestly I thought I would enjoy this but as an isekai loving person, I would love to see a good character build and story progression.

But this anime's story progression is waaay tooooo sloooooow !!!!!. And the MC has idiots as his teammates. On top of that almost all women are made to do lame lusty jokes with their characters. I mean WHY?? There are not even funny. If this continues the MC would take at least 40 more seasons to become powerful enough to defeat the Demon king!! Almost feels like a slice of life anime. Boring.

Everytime the MC gets a reward he gets ... a bigger penalty which makes harder to invest in the story itself. Why would someone want to see a MC who gets reincarnated into a magic world wants to see the MC doing day labour jobs and no prominent increase in the basic stats and levels. Also this anime has no proper introduction of stats and power levels of the characters or magic effinities either.

And when it comes to character growth, it is a disappointment too even after the 2nd season. The anime has not clearly described about its world yet; like the world itself, magic and powers, social classes, gods& demons, different kingdoms & cities, world map, etc.
