Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 3 Episode 6 Discussion

That's exactly it. It's easy to see how it was produced by completely different people than the first two seasons and the movie.

The comedy in those while hilarious, was also clever. This is just slap-stick and stupid.

And like you said -- Aqua, while dumb before, is now just a useless alcoholic lounging around drunk, Darkness is bland and one-dimensional, and Megumin - honestly, I can't remember anything about Megumin in this, and I've watched all six episodes.

And Kazuma, while always a bit sleazy, is now just a lazy scumbag with not one redeeming quality so far.

It's just a shadow of its former self and, personally, I think it's a lost cause as Studio Drive predominantly produces garbage -- the Explosion spin-off, The Demon Prince of Momochi House, Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Vlad Love -- all a waste of time, and some of the lowest rated anime in the last few years. (I think "Explosion" was only rated as high as it was because it's Megumin, as that was not interesting or funny either).

ah man, still need more onii sama moment like in School of the irregular

Even if Konosuba is a 100% comedy, it should still be tied down to some level of congruence.

There are 2 massive inconsistencies in this episode.

The royal guards just allowed Kazuma to go scott free after he changed places with the princess. In any kind of medieval country he would had been charged and executed for such insult to the crown. I'm not even mentioning the fact that Iris was punched in the face while on Kazuma's body in the previous episode and somehow that's also being swept under the rug.

The other inconsistency was that Darkness told Iris and her royal guards that the necklace had such a dangerous power. They never asked her how she got this kind of information, they just said "ok" and moved on.

I might be an oddball here but as an LN reader I am quite dissappointed by the anime adaptation. In the LN, the entire heist was treated as this very time constraining and a serious thing where they got to showcase just how brutal and powerful Kazuma can be with his skillset. They also showed just how quick-witted both Kazuma and Chris can be and they're also very well coordinated. Of course there are bits of funny moments here and there but it is more towards cool action sprinkled in with a bit of comedy.

Where as in the anime, they made it seem more comedy sprinkled in with a bit of cool action scenes. They failed to capture how truly deadly the duo is and also the intensity of the moment. The anime also cut many scenes that should've added more to the feats of the dua. Rather than having those few scenes, the anime hit us a with a flashback in the beginning of the episode which was unnecessarily long. I think the fact that they try to make every scene feels "comedic" is a downer for me especially in this season of Konosuba. In the previous season, although there are many comedic scenes, they also have their fair share of downtime where the cast is a bit more chill and not just chaotic all the time. That downtime really adds to the depth of the characters showing that these are actual people who are in an actual party and not just there to as a tool for the sake of gags. The serious moments should be actually serious and the funny moments should be funny, not just trying to make everything into a comedy all the time. What makes Konosuba great compared to other comedy animes is the fact that the cast actually feels like how you'd feel when you're with your friends. We all can act dumb

together and make bad desicions but we also have our fair share of serious moments and times that showcase how well we can work together. The fact that this season of

Konosuba missed the most crucial part of what makes this show unique and one of it's kind really really upsets me.

Personally, that's what I find lacking in this season of Konosuba. As an LN reader, hopefully the director of the show would put more thought on adapting the essence of what makes Konosuba special.
