Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! (light novel)
| It’s just you, the series didn’t fell off. You fell off |
| Maybe it is just you growing out of it. Season 1 aired almost 8 years ago, and I was just fresh out of high school. Since then, I went to college, graduated, and pursuing a graduate degree. To me the series has not fell off so much in quality so much that I think this many of us fans have outgrown this type of comedy. Heck, I am watching far less anime then I did in my late teenage years. To me, this show made me sort of sad in the same way you log onto a video game you have not logged into for nearly a decade. The show is largely as I remember it, but we changed. That, and this type of comedy series does hit roadblocks when it comes to having more and more seasons and characters become more beholden to their schticks, which admittingly is limited for certain characters, honestly. The writing isn't so much worst so much that it is more difficult to really expand upon this series. |

| @PeripheralVision Yeah, this about how I feel too. I guess the same singular jokes that are the characters only defining traits just isn't funny to me anymore. |

| Definitely felll off in comedy |
  |
| definitely less funny that the previous seasons, I find it hard to watch this season without cringing |
| @Kitsune_089 it's just you buddy. This season is by far the best one yet by far |

| @DoctorWasabi it did get slightly better but still not on the level of s1/s2 |

dragozeroone said: Not just you. The comedy is different and the entire atmosphere of the show has turned into "hehe me do funny pls laugh", it feels pathetic. What used to be chaotic fun between the casts is now stepping dangerously close into getting annoying instead of the absurd nonsense. nevermind ep 9 was absolutely dogshit |
|
| Not THIS season! Nor did the Megumin spinoff. S2 DID suck. But S1, Megumin's spinoff, and this season...is absolutely incredible! |
 |
| I still find S3 hilarious, especially Kazuma and his VA. I didn't bother with spin-off, btw. |
| I haven't watched the Megumin spin-off because I don't like her that much, but each new season of Konosuba is funnier and better for me. |
| it's just you, konosuba never fell off, it's still funny even the most recent episode was hilarious. Although I agree that the spin off wasn't that funny, the comedy was sometimes forced, this season's comedy is rarely forced. |
| Just you watched season 1 and 2 before this and it's the same humour imo |
| Sorry for your losses. |
 |
| nah its only you homie |
| I felt this since season 2 ended but I think it's because we've pretty much experienced there is to experienced when it comes to absurd and unexpected ways of comedy. |
| Ty for re-setting and re-minding the precedent that you only need a rage-bait thread name and the two-sentence line description to get triple digit replies on a post |

| As far as I am aware, it's more of the same. Maybe your preference for humour has changed (it has been 8 years) or your expectations were too high. I remember thinking S1 was okay, and I loved season 2 and the movie. Season 3 is somewhere between seasons 1 and 2 in terms of quality. Ultimately, it's more of the same, and that's exactly what I wanted at least. My favourite moment so far is Iris vs Megumin fight. Reminds me of Chuunibyou. I feel like most of the criticism Season 3 gets, you could also apply for Seasons 1 and 2, so it seems a little hypocritical to me or again, a change in preferences. |
| I saw the megumin spinoff and found it to be decent watching even if the beginning sucked. Haven't seen this season yet but I'm too invested in this series to hate it. |
 |
| The problem aren't the characters, it's the lack of real exploration or lack of real adventures. The Darkness arc isn't strong enough to fill a full season, the final might deliver anyway, but overall the season could have been more than that. |

| To be honest, I'm not crazy about this kind of anime anyway, but S1 and S2 made me laugh. I just watched the first three episodes of S3 and was bored to tears so I just dropped. Whether I just grew tired of it or it is just less good, I don't know and don't really mind, result is the same for me. |
| Konosuba's always been an inconsistent franchise to me. I expected more from season 3, the stuff from the light novels did not age as well with the humor as I expected so that was a disappointment besides maybe one or two episodes. But it was still a lot better than season 2 for me since that season was not good, especially with how dreadful the Axis stuff were. After season 2, the movie was pretty good and by far the best Konosuba entry for me. It's just random and unpredictable whether something will be good, bad or just by the numbers. |
