Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 3

Kazuma Satou, former NEET and current reincarnated adventurer, finally returns home after the incident at the Crimson Demon village. He is joined by his ever-reliable companions: self-absorbed goddess Aqua, one-trick pony arch-wizard Megumin, and masochistic crusader Lalatina Ford "Darkness" Dustiness. Following their recent exploits, the party is one step closer to vanquishing the Demon King and his armies—a terrifying task that Kazuma is eager to ignore for as long as possible. Things, however, are not going as smoothly as the group would like; they are constantly racking up debt, getting sidetracked during missions, and falling into traps due to their recklessness and eccentricities.

As the party struggles with their perennial issues, they receive an invitation from a princess interested in hearing tales of the group's "heroic" deeds. Darkness' pleas to refuse the invitation only fire the others up to accept it, marking the start of yet another uncanny adventure with unforeseen consequences.

It was great to see Konasuba come back with all guns blazing. Let's call this the Lalatina season. It was so good to see that Darkness wasn't just big breasts and clumsiness. Her backstory and current travails were much more interesting than the spin off they did of Megumin's life as a Crimson Demon. In fact, Meg was pretty much relegated to a background role this season. Aqua was her regular space cadet self, chaos personified. And Kazuma never disappoints with his heroic pervy hijinks. It was good to see some of the side characters like Yun Yun, Wiz, and Vanir getting in some face ... time as well. Yep the gang was all here.

The artwork was as to be expected from the previous productions. I thought the animation production levels were a little better, probably due to more budget to work with. The VAs once again ranked supreme. No way would Konosuba work half as well without this well-oiled machine of a cast. And the director used them perfectly, doing a nice balancing act between comedy, drama and action.

Practice makes perfect I guess, and I think this season might have been the best yet. If I was grading it's a 95/100 for a solid A. And damned near as I could grade and not give it a 10. So close to a masterwork. Maybe one more stellar season like this, and I will break down. Serve yourself up some Konasuba. It's like a sumptuous feast.

Mixed Feelings

This show I enjoy watching despite never being one I loved or favorited. The comedy was great, awesome premise from season 1.

So this is coming from a non fan stand point. They missed the mark in this season. It was blatant and obvious in early episodes. I finished it anyway, laughed sure but where is the sustenance this season. Ouch to those who put a lot of effort in making it. Great ideas executed poorly unfortunately.

I'm not gonna pick apart why because everyone will get their own interpretation and some loved it for sure and we can't blame them, ... tastes are individualistic.

All I'm saying is that if a non avid lover of this show can tell this season was a mismark it speaks volumes. Sure I laughed and all that but everything else... eesh.

Might not be so bad if you know that before going in, maybe, who knows. I can only speak my truth.

Those who despise it, I understand.
Those who are on the fence and still want to give season 4 a chance like me, that's cool.
Those who love it, thank you for giving us the opportunity to get a 4th season.

Not Recommended

This Konosuba sequel is a major disappointment, failing in every aspects. Fans should avoid this sequel to preserve their fond memories of the original series. Its creators should be ashamed.

Graphics: 1/10
The animation quality is terrible, resembling the episodes of One Piece. Compared to the original Konosuba, it’s a complete downgrade.

Plot: 2/10
The storyline is practically non-existent and relies heavily on flashbacks to create any sense of coherence. The original had direction and purpose, making this sequel a 0/10 in comparison.

Dialogue: 2/10
Character dialogues are dominated by incessant screaming, with voice actors showing little interest. The original's lively and engaging conversations are sorely missed.
...
Originality: 0/10
There’s nothing new or interesting. It doesn’t even match the creativity of a low-budget anime, a stark contrast to the original’s fresh take on the isekai genre.

Character Development: 0/10
There is no depth or evolution in the characters, unlike the original series which had dynamic growth.

Visual Consistency: 1/10
The visuals are chaotic and inconsistent, making it painful to watch. The original had a charming and coherent visual style, which this sequel lacks entirely.

Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, it is noteworthy that even the most critical anime watchers, who detested the sequel from the bottom of their hearts, have not rated it lower than a 4. This speaks volumes about the inherent indulgence of anime fans, who often show leniency even when deeply disappointed. It seems that the creators were aware of this indulgence and took advantage of it, relying on the goodwill and patience of the fanbase to cushion the blow of this poorly executed sequel. This reliance on fan indulgence is disheartening, as it suggests a complacency that undermines the quality and integrity of the series. Fans deserve better, and this sequel fails to deliver on the promise of the original.


0/10 well deserved.
