Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! (light novel)
| I'm not trying to bash on Konosuba, I think it's an entertaining anime, but i wouldn't call it a ground-breaking experience. The humour was not particularly clever or mature. Most jokes revolved aound characters having some sort of perversion or obsession, and i don't know why i'm supposed to laugh whenever Aqua gets eaten by a giant frog. The animation is whatever, it's nothing spectacular for 2016 and i don't see much of a difference with season 2. So, what i'm really trying to wrap my head around is why so many people set their expectations so high for season 2 and ended up being disappointed when they got the exact same thing as season 1. What were they even expecting? And what's more baffling is that the people who complain about season 2 are the same people who loved the hell out of season 1. They say things like "Season 1 was a MASTERPIECE, but season 2 is pure GARBAGE!" You usually expect these fanboys to get really defensive about their show and overlook most of the flaws that might apear within it. But for some reason they went the other way and started complaining about everything instead of being happy that their dumb comedy is getting another season. It's only been 2 episodes. Geez, give it some time before you spout your BS. |
| Don't know about you but the only real complaints to speak of that I've seen for S2 thus far has been about the art, which admittedly probably was worse than ever in ep 1 of S2, but seemed to be back to what it used to be by ep 2 again so it should be fine. Not that it was ever a huge problem considering the comedic nature of the show itself anyway |
  |
| +1, Konosuba is overrated and not funny. Only people into Japanese humor and weebs/otakus can really get into it. Winter 2017 anime, ANIMATE something! |
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen |
| I have to agree. I wouldn't say the anime is 'great'. Instead, it's 'okay' or 'decent' at most. |
 |
| It's an alright anime tbh. Rated both seasons as a 7 so far. The first season was trying to figure out what it wanted to be for like half of the season. The story and comedy has a lot of lows but there are some moments that I liked. Funny animes to me are more along the lines of Gintama and Saiki. People were anticipating this to be the comedy of the year, but tbh I find myself laughing more from the other animes of this season. Well, no hate from me intended. It's just from my point of view/personal opinion. |

I just saw someone not finding KonoSuba great and I agree with it. Besides, he used the term 'great' so it was a more reason for me too think the same. And you shouldn't really mind other's opinion, there is no point to it - that would only waste your time ^^ |

Geez, give it some time before you spout your BS. It's kind of ironic don't you think? So you're saying that the jokes are not "mature" and it's "repetitive", yet you love One Punch Man. Don't get me wrong, I love OPM so much, but their joke about Saitama's one hit kill or having straight face bored is pretty much repetitive in the manga too (so much repetitive that he doesn't even get much screentime). What constitutes as a mature joke? Who or what determines that? Are you saying that this is not your type of comedy? And you're condemning those who loves it? What you're basically saying is "Your Anime is not that great according to my taste, and you guys should feel bad" which applies to everyone, but who are you to judge? Why do we care about your opinion? Why can't we enjoy something without being bashed about it? Is it so wrong to enjoy something we love? Are you saying that our masterpiece is not our masterpiece? Should I also bash your shit taste? Is that how this works? Won't you also get defensive about protecting your "masterpieces"? No one even complaining about the comedy. They're only complaining about the art, because Kikuta (Chief Animation Director of the odd episodes) is bad. |

I dont usually post, rather read what people say, but I will just have to take my time to teach someone how to talk on the internet. Seems like you dont know what giving an opinion is. I wil not explain, being ignorant in today's world is an option. You there sir, stated a fact, saying that whomever watches knosuba is an otaku/weeb, which I dont understand on which evidence you are stating this. I find knosuba funny, entertaining, its hilarious, but of course for me, and somethings that happen are not funny to me. In conslusion, you should have just written "I dont like konsuba, I dont find it funny" Thats it, you dont have to say what other people are for just watching an anime that entertains them. Hopefully you are capable of understanding I had to bang out a dictionary to read what you're typing, bring out the monocle, wrap my head around each word to make sure I wasn't going crazy, but I got the gist of it. Sorry if I offended you because you are a weeb, but I also said people into Japanese humor. Unless you fall under that category, then I found the right guy to blast liking Konosuba. There's my opinion, good sir, anyone that likes the humor in this show is undoubtedly a weeb, as the show is FOR weebs/otaku.

| tbh i finished the first season of KonoSuba but when i see the art on the 2nd season it was a turn-off for me and it went trash |

As i said, this post isn't about the show itself, but rather about the unjustified reaction of the fanbase towards the second season. If anybody's trashing the show, is it's own fans. They can call it a masterpiece, i don't really care, but when they give it a 1 or 2/10 just cuz the art is a bit worse, it hink that's kinda far fetched. And about me liking OPM, i don't think it's ironic at all. Comedy works different for everyone and people prefer different types of jokes. I'm not saying that the jokes in OPM are mature, i just prefer the characters, story and action of that show. I'm more likely to get laughs out of an anime that has a lot more going on than just the comedy, because i'm more invested and i can relate to the characters better. Konosuba doesn't really have much going on besides the comedy, and that's perfectly fine, cuz that's the kind of anime it is. The characters kinda fall in the range of light novel tropes, which is a bit of a turn-off for me, but overall, as i said before, it's entertaining, and that's what matters most. |

| Yeah, it never was that great. I was surprised how good the ongoing season is though. |
| It isn't overrated. For people that like fantasy and comedy it is a great show. There aren't many other shows funny like this which make you laugh. (Most so-called comedy shows are boring.) If it were scored like 9.xx it would be overrated but 8.xx is fine - if you consider that even total bullshit like Re:Zero can get 8.xx (and is even higher than KonoSuba). A score between 8.00 and 8.50 is okay. (Lower than 8.00 would be too low, higher than 8.50 too high.) |
Konosuba was never that great Its funny how you can think this is so obvious for almost any show yet at the same time you see people saying its the best of the season or year sometimes |
 |
| I disagree with your opinion. |
| It was great in the first half of season 1...then they decided to only tell the same repetitive joke that already got old at the time while also proving why Aqua is one of the worst and most hateful female anime characters in existence. I heard this season is even worse...*shrugs* |

I like Gintama a lot but dropped Konosuba, I dont think it really is a 'Japanese humor' thing. edit: I wonder why OP is copying my super unique avatar |

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
 That's not unusual for comedy-based shows, it either caters to your sense of humour or it doesn't.And since that's the main element of it of course that aspect will define the overall quality of the anime for many folks. |

Madness17 said: There! You should stop right there xDD It was good decision by you to drop KonoSuba. It is not for you.

Light Novels in general are more portrayed by its dialogue so I can see that you can't enjoy yourself watching a show with people talking. I can respect that. In fact, I think it was the reason why you can't appreciate KonoSuba as much. There are barely any actions and the comedy is using the tropes and using mostly character interactions as basis for their comedy. There are not much visuals from the LNs to keep you entertained. I hope this helps to your understanding of your own entertainment standards. xDD |
| the old comedy in konosuba never entertains me. mitsutomoe is 100 times funnier than this shit. i prefer dirty jokes |

I don't think it has to do with the fact that it's a light novel (i'm a Re:Zero fanboy myself, so that kinda defeats your point). Pure comedies just don't appeal to me as much, i need some suspense and drama to keep me pumped. And it's not like i'm an action junkie who just wants to see action frames and no dialogue. Romance anime are dialogue-based, and i'm a real sucker for those XD |
| Konosuba was always that great, i fixed it for ya |

Romance anime are dialogue-based, and i'm a real sucker for those XD I am talking about LN who is more built upon dialogues more than action. Looking at your list, the LN adaptations you have watched have alot of good actions being produced by the studio. You have low score on Baccano/Durarara who is more focused on dialogues and character interaction. You did not seem to like Fate/Zero either due to the less fights. Re:Zero have more actions to keep you entertained and the story was truly good. SAO was there but it was shit but there are full of actions. So yeah, I am basing to your list to see how come you can't enjoy it as much. Of course, it might be wrong because I don't really know your taste and I am only looking at the surface. You understand your taste better than everyone else. xDD I also see you did not pick Oregairu, Bakemonogatari, etc. because those LN adaptations are VERY dialogue focused. |
| The only difference is the art which doesn't matter considering it only adds to the comedy. Everything else is either the same or better. You must be pretty oblivious to say the comedy is about fetishes. The main source of comedy is the RPG and Isekai parody. Also Aqua is being eaten by a frog is not funny because of that itself but because of how Aqua and other characters react to it. Seems you don't get comedy or at least Japanese comedy. |
 |
| It's a good anime with funny characters, but I don't consider it to be ground breaking in any way, but it is a fun series to watch |
 |
| I totally agree with u :v [url=https://myanimelist.net/animelist/Nou-Tan&sclick=1] |

| Just drop the anime. Why watch an anime you hate? But Konosuba is absolutely hilarious for me... (esp. Aqua and Kazuma) In fact, IMO, Konosuba is one of the best anime I watched so far.. And Konosuba isn't even THAT overrated; Konosuba S1 only has a rating of 8.05... that is too low to call it overrated; (it is high, but not that exceptional) All anime sequels generally have higher rating than its prequels because people who hate the first season stop watching. (with exception of some horrible sequels like Haruhi 2009). Even if you hate Konosuba, its overratedness doesn't even come close to some of more popular anime. |
| I'd suggest you just don't watch it if you do not find it fun to watch. |

| Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen |
| i don't really find Konosuba "funnier" than any other funny anime and i don't think it "saved anime" or anything like that, but i do agree its at least somewhat unique of a show and i can see why theres a hype train for it i mean, Aqua not wearing panties was definitely something you don't see too often ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) anyway, i fucking love it... but if you don't... as people are saying, you don't have to watch |
 |
| It's an ok anime, the explosion shit was never funny though |
 |
| What a bunch of tryhard contrarians. |

| likeable unapologetic not edgy not mentally unstable not cucks not toyota etc etc and what he is so funny and natural! I doubt that you can find many isekai main chara like him in the anime warld |

| You know an anime is great when someone starts a dedicated topic on the forums explaining how the anime isn't good. |
 Doesn't this make you hungry? |
tsudecimo said: I couldn't disagree more. The art for the first episode of season two is abyssmal. I honestly can't recall seeing anything quite as bad. I see amateurs on youtube with less time and money crank out better animations. It's insultingly bad.The only difference is the art which doesn't matter considering it only adds to the comedy. Everything else is either the same or better. |
