Maybe some of you knows why this is so boring. Just rewatch the main series and you'll soon realize that one of them need to be in any scene for it to have decent pacing, comedy, setup, etc Neither Megumin nor darkness accomplish this, so a series centered around a character that can't do it is bound to fail when compared against the source material. Megumin needed a sidekick that carried as hard as our duo, and Yunyun certainly isn't. |

| All this time they're just after .. the cat?? The Aqua and Kazama cameos are killing me though, 10,000 eris, riiight! |

The main story gave me the illusion that all of the four were equally interesting. Oh, how wrong I was. |

Red6715 said: The main reason I think they would be is because this episode goes out of its way to establish that adventurers have approached Aqua thinking she's the Arch Priest talked about in the Guild, only to (wrongly) dismiss it based on how she looks after work and based on her baseline personality. And sure, Aqua's an idiot, but it's hard not to take at least some notice of strange things going on when you've been at least partially involved in that fashion.Atavistic said: I would disagree, if you remember from season 1, she only meets up with aqua and Kazuma after she exhausts her other options and begs to join them. So, it would make sense, that they would be her last resort, and honestly the time line seems pretty correct to me. And in terms of not noticing something big in town, Aqua and Kazuma are doing construction work, so why would they be paying attention to what's going on with adventures?I'm trying to reconcile the stakes of this conflict with Host with how Axel was presented in the early episodes of Konosuba S1. All of this is happening while Kazuma and Aqua are in town during that early working montage from the original first episode, right? If that's the case, surely something this big couldn't have happened without Kazuma and Aqua either becoming aware of it or there even being some background evidence of something big happening? After all, everyone is looking for Aqua in this episode and yet we're supposed to believe there wasn't even a hint of this stuff in the original? Furthermore, we're being shown Megumin seeing what Aqua and Kazuma are like in their early moments in Axel, but no hint of her previously knowing them when she ended up joining their party? Forcing in the cameos and trying to force ending the season on a big battle is making this make much less sense than it should from a timeline perspective. Also, why are they continuing to hide Kazuma and Aqua's faces like this? |

| Maybe we could finally get an explanation of why Chomusuke disappears from season 1 only to randomly reappear on season 2... or maybe we couldn't. That's part of this anime's random humor. |

| I love how that axis gal went full clown at the other church. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| The demon with Arnes in the OP finally shows up to them. |
| Kazuma and Aqua shenanigans <3 I wonder how they're going to wrap up this season. Because so far, it seems so unlikely their paths will cross. Also, it has to be in such a way that Kazuma and Aqua would still not know exactly who Megumin is. After all, she had to fully introduce herself to them - it could be that she knew who they were (although I doubt that) but she didn't know who are they. In KonoSuba universe terms, we're still somewhere between episodes 1 and 2. |
| Had to admit when I saw this, the whole demon outside of Axel situation adds a whole layer of context to what was going on in those early episodes of Konosuba. Think there is some room for this to fit in the overall narrative due to the odd job montage we saw in Konosuba. Still though, I think it would have been funnier if they actually found some blue haired girl other than Aqua and assumed that person was the arch priest they were searching for. All that being said, as far as my mind is concerned the more cameos the better. Wiz is a favorite of the Konosuba franchise, she may not have the energy of a main character but she's doing her best with her shop. |

| best episode. funniest too |
| Yup... there's no way that's the Blue-Haired Goddess. Clueless. |
 |
| "There's no way a high level clergy can be scamming people" This guy is so wrong, LOL. And Aqua is the prime example. . Useless Goddess is a Scam Goddess. (especially when she's trying to scam her own religion...) When everyone's trying to find this "arch priest" to help with the Demon problem, LOL. This episode shows how even a good character like Cecily can still be fucked by the declining religion of their useless goddess. And this episode is also the point of aqua's religion's collapse when everyone in the religion starts to scam other ppls for money... cause their "goddess demands money"... |

| Now we finally know, at last, whether or not Megumin needs that chant of hers. SouthRzVa said: A giant Demon threatening everyone and a whole city looking for Aqua yet none of this was addressed in S1 as far as I remember. Seriously, I sometimes wonder if the author wrote this spin-off without even giving the main manga a re-read. As far as I remember, there is no main manga that the author should give a re-read. |
 |
| Little luck for Megumin or Yunyun in finding a party still, and no luck in the search for Aqua. Cecily also didn't really help, but Megumin could use that large amount of cash... With the demon at the end it looks like they will have to make some sort of decisive decision. |
 |
| I would sniff megumin's sheets too! mega based priestess as usual |
 |
| Woah we getting Wiz and Mitsurugi cameos too, neat If only Host knew that Megu is Komekko's big sis, this whole process involving Chomosuke will get by way faster lol |
| They don't know about the demon's connection to her little sister. Aqua pulling off that hustle kek, she leads her religion by example. Cecily the degen priestess sniffing the bedsheets. The Wiz cameo, too! |

Reply to RaidenSteiner
so she doesnt need any time to cast explosion
| @RaidenSteiner it's just that Crimson Demon flair you know? lol I feel so bad for Yunyun please give her a break I can't stand to see her crying because nobody invited her ;-; I really like Cecily's character. She's hilarious and total chaos! |
 |
| Really weird why Yunyun has such a problem finding a party, if she's that good at spellcasting. Kazuma and Aqua are just such a great pair, even if they only appear for a few seconds this episode. |
| Another cameo of Kazuma and Aqua again i don't know that Aqua has big boobs. It's interesting when Cecily all of sudden coming to Axel. Seems like another deal of high rank demon with Chomusuke again. |
| So, the cat is really Wolbach?. Haha, everyone looking for Aqua. |
