That's awful. Just finished season 2 and had a really fun time. Well, guess I will stick with the novels.

Why you have to frustrated? The anime is just a advertisement for LN, of course its not gonna completed. And almost everyone read LN agree that its a shit ton better than anime, both seasons. Just go read it, it was written almost like a anime already


Honestly, I've just finished reading the first light novel, and, well..it's awful, to say the least. I know light novels are meant to be easy and fast to read, but hell, as much as I had a bit of fun with it, its difficult to even try to fit it on rational criticism. I started reading the novels more because I was eager to know more of the story and couldn't wait for the (now forsaken) third season. As you said, it reads like an anime (or some fanfic) but visual comedy differs a lot from the written thing. Also, there's a lot of gags they added in the anime, like the chants Megunin utters before sending everything to hell.

I seriously question what book are you reading. While the anime have some visual jokes, they also cut off so many, include the switch party arc in ss1, which is one of the best arcs. They cut a lot of plot and world building, the anime look like a mess compare to LN tbh. LN is an adventure with lots of comedy, anime is a joke with some random battle. I think you read volume 1 and feels bored because you already know what happened, maybe you should jump to later vols after anime end and see if it feels different. Btw Im wondering how many LN have you read, if you read stuff like Mahouka or NGNL, your brain probably explode. Konosuba is one of the best LN for beginner, if you cant read it, it's just not for you I afraid

I was talking just about the first one, which was pretty bad. I've just started reading the second and it's a lot better, including the party switch arc, and I can understand what you meant in your first post now. I still liked the fact that the anime doesn't take itself serious, though.
It is not that it was boring(it wasn't), it was just bad, like when you're watching a movie and you're having mindless fun but you know it isn't good. I am more used to reading novels, but even compared with the very few LNs I've read (like Bake and Zero no Maria) the Konosuba style is rather off. I agree with the author when he says that he is not a very good writer. At least it is better than the Kizu and Toradora LNs.
I've never read the ones you mentioned.

Hakomari is no.1 LN on MAL and Monogatari series is one of the best LN series out there. Compare with them is a little bit hard. And I never said Konosuba is well written, what I say is it's very easy to read, almost like an anime. The ways Kazuma tells the story is like a normal dude. If you read stuff like what I mention, you would see the different. As an example, they spend several pages to describe a girl's dress or make a fucking complicated relationship between two guys nobody give a shit about, and gonna disappeared forever after the end of an arc

This article about KonoSuba Season 3 makes the good point that the new anime project is probably not the second OVA since that came out the day before the announcement. I say it's probably a movie or a spin-off anime about Megumin.

Not when compared to the LN illustrations.. They pretty much ruined Lalatina (formal) and YunYun's character design..
I'm not just referring to the art style, but the animation style too. Everything moved so much, it was alive and fun. Some series may look pretty but still be boring in comparison to KonoSuba because of boring animation, like Charlotte and DanMachi.

Aw, I loved Danmachi and thought the animation wasn't bad

You say this but you know...Not everyone can read Japanese. Also Im pretty sure the Light novels haven't caught up enough to the latest volumes.

People like me can only rely on waiting for newer volumes or the anime for further material

I highly recommend that you read the first four volumes because it's a fun read, if not start at volume five.
