Compared to LN, Kazuma's fight scene in the anime was extremely sloppy and terrible.
This should have been a scene of major investment but they didn't do it.

Also, I know that "Explosion" was very poorly rated but I actually enjoyed that show quite a bit. It certainly ranks above season 3 for me. More coherent storytelling. Less wasted space.

That said Konosuba isn't Konosuba without the gang - yeah, I love Megumin, but she had little to play off - yet, when I think of this season I think about the same as I do of a certain other returning show... "Will something please happen?"

Very good episode again from this franchise.

Kazuma and Chris is a insane duo.

Goodbye to Iris, she was adorable.

Hope Kazuma cherishes the ring. ^_^

Aqua, Darkness and Megumin are funny enough too.

Will she not be coming in next eps?

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).

Huh? Core staff and some episode directors are literally the same people who worked on previous seasons and a movie.

The worst Konosuba season made.

Now 6 episodes in. Haven't laughed once, it's just badly written and with stupid scenarios that do nothing but focus on what a scumbag Kazuma is.

Have watched the first two seasons and the movie about 4 times, they're so well-done and so funny, but I'm now watching this on double speed. Boring AF.
@WienGirl konosuba doesn't exactly foreshadow and buildup to a great degree. So if you rewatch it, the next installment will feel old no matter how much you enjoyed the prior one

@WienGirl I believe the end of this season will be a banger. I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying it, because we all did.

Any episode with Chris and Kazuma is going to be comedic gold and this was no exception, skipping the OP so we could have a full 24 minutes of banter and action, what an episode

Despite their constant bickering Chris and Kazuma actually make a pretty good team. This was also a cool reminder about how competent Kazuma can be in a fight when he wants to be. Using spells like freeze, water and steal in tandem to take out guards and even hero Mitsurugi. Poor dude thought he was completely prepared for “steal” just to get beat with freeze and waterboarded lmaooo

That combined steal animation with Chris and Kazuma was dope too!

Megumin and Iris fangirling out over Kazuma as the thief was great too, I was wondering how no one noticed that was clearly him with the hair, voice and everything but it seems Iris is a lot smarter than I have her credit for and knew it was him the whole time.

Darkness great as usual too, loved her freaking out over Kazuma almost revealing himself as the thief at the end 😭 how she gonna volunteer him to defeat the demon lord without his consent though

Cute seeing Megumin and Iris fight over the right to call Kazuma onii sama too 😂

Awesome episode all around, the comedy was the best part, but some really good animation as well today. Can’t wait for our next adventure

Seeing a Konosuba episode where the OP gets skipped was very unusual, but it did mean more time focused on the episode's content itself, which was a great thing, as it had me laughing a lot with Kazuma and Chris doing their heist on the royal castle.

Despite the constant and funny bickering between him and Chris, Kazuma did well to remind us that he can hold his own in combat, where he made quick work of Claire and Mitsurugi. It was even funnier when Kazuma's own friends got involved, where Megumin went into fangirl mode at the disguises Kazuma and Chris had on. XD

Darkness was the one to sort things out in the end of this fiasco as she revealed to him that he stole an important ring that meant that if he defeats the devil king, he can marry princess Iris. What made this even more amusing and cute was that she knew Kazuma was the one who was in disguise and knew he took the ring. I'll miss Iris, as she was such an adorable cutie. I do love how she and Megumin were having a heated argument due to her calling Kazuma elder brother, which pissed Megumin off quite a lot.

@WienGirl I actually agree that it's the worst season made. That's because there have only been two before it and both were 9-10/10. This one is at least a 7, with flashes of 8+. I'm hoping it will kick up a notch down the line?

Be happy. At least it's not Jobless Reincarnation 2 part 2.
@Love_And_Forward jobless reincarnation 2 part 2 is good though. You all have too little attention span.

Kazuma going serious is always a treat, it is a shame how so many were still slandering him but what's important is that he gets recognized by the people who actually matter, these last two episode were great, much better than the previous 4, I hope I keep enjoying the rest of the episodes.

I think so far the only thing that's not a disappointment is Iris. 19:00 omg the Loli battle lol. So cute. Also, it seems the type Kazuma attracts is loli. Ok, so she knows he's got the ring. Honestly, if she wasn't literally a kid I might actually ship her and Kazuma.

Also this episode showed that Kazuma can do it if he tries. He actually took on the whole castle beat the guards and almost killed that cursed sword dude. Like Kazuma without anyone holding him back is actually pretty wild.

Iris seems like the actual heroine now. I feared she would be mad, but it seems she still cherishes Scumzuma.

More importantly though Megumin got super jealous.

Was the mask buffing Kazuma or did he genuinely defeat the entire guard?! I guess if he is not holding back and believing in himself he is quite capable after all.

I still believe Megumin is just going to blow up the demon king, sitting in his castle, barrier and all. Unless they are going to find a way to cut Wiz connection to it.

@_Sanchay I don't think so. Since she got a good farewell scene of the season.

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.

And so begins the castle raid.

A victory celebration is underway at the royal castle. Amidst the festivities, Kazuma finds himself overwhelmed by the impending departure from the capital and the sadness of bidding farewell to Iris. Chris approaches Kazuma and reveals a shocking truth: the necklace they used to swap bodies with Iris is a sacred treasure, capable of great danger depending on its use. Princess Iris is now in jeopardy. Under the cover of darkness, two black-clad thieves infiltrate the royal castle.

After the party ends and the guests retire for the night, Chris and Kazuma don disguises. Chris wears a simple balaclava covering her mouth, while Kazuma opts for darker-toned clothes similar to his usual attire, along with the mask provided by Vanir. Choosing to carry his bow instead of his katana to avoid causing harm, Kazuma feels nervous. While he's had his share of misdemeanors, this marks his first felony.

I never thought I'd see the day when Kazutrash would become the OP MC. We've come a long way.

Pretty sure he blew up a noble's mansion and a significant portion of Axel. Bind would probably net him a kidnapping charge. If we're just talking recently, then there's that small matter of lese-majesty.

Can't believe how Kazuma became useful for once, even he couldn't believe it lol, I guess he can be competent if he puts in the work. Darkness and Iris figured out it was Kazuma but Megumin and Aqua didn't? I guess Megumin is too much of a chuunibyou and was fangirling while Aqua is too drunk for the situation. Chris worked well with Kszuma and managed to even beat him at rock paper scissors lol.

Most awaited scene in this arc, The Black Mask Kazuma. Its really good scene when i read it in light novel in the past years (vol 6 ch 5)..

..but after i watched it today, i feel happy yet disappointed at the same time. Happy cuz the awaited scene got animated, and disappointed cuz they (kind of) butchered this scene (skipped lewd books moment and less action from kazuma). Looks like i need to re-read again that part again.

For the next episode, i guess...

Good episode but should have been perfect if they adapted it properly. They cut/changed too much.

- Because of time constraints most of the character development for Kazuma is skipped.
- The anime downplayed the seriousness of the body swapping item. Actually it's a much darker plot in the making.
- Kazuma & Chris had the Lurk skill on, so they shouldn't have been found even while feeling each other up.
- Kazuma takes a porn magazine from the treasure vault is the reason the alarms go off and they can't be sneaky anymore.
- The guards are high level but a thief skill allows the group to evade and outrun them.
- Kazuma not just drowns Mitsurugi but also freezes the water inside him. Taking out the legendary hero destroys the guards morale, also Mitsurugi stays down and can't fight anymore.
- Rain is a mage not a priest, she doesn't know healing spells.
- Claire orders Rain to kill them with magic, but Kazuma destroys Rain's staff with snipe. She can't fight anymore and also causes massive emotional damage.
- Aqua was about to use a serious spell that would've prevented them from escaping.

TL;DR: The anime downplayed the seriousness of the situation, also downplayed how much damage Kazuma caused.
