Is Megumin inspired by Rita from Tales of Vesperia at all? Was the similarity on purpose?

There is absolutely no reason why I should accept "turn your brain off" as a valid excuse to defend a poor show.

Konosuba was once a parody so it can be true.

In the exact same moment when it started to be a typical isekai harem.

I can't find anything online regarding the inspiration for Megumin's design. But then again, my google fu is weak if the subject isnt philosophy or physics

I wouldn't know since I've never played Vesperia, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Tales series so seeing the characters design I now need to play the game even more once it gets a remake.

I mean they're not THAT similar.. and it's hard to come up with a completely creative and original character these days since almost everything's been done. But it could be inspired I guess

both have asymmetrical leggings, red and black long-sleeved attire with fingerless gloves, both are "smol" as the kids say nowadays... pretty on-the-nose. It just stands out because none of the other konosuba characters' designs seem similar to any Tales characters

Eh that could be the case because the author has admitted playing several rpg's but I highly doubt it.

I dunno, I think Rita looks more like Kagura from Gintama.

Both looks the same as Kino if you ask me. Just imagine it harder, turn on that overclocked 2 dead braincell at 2 FPS , there you go.

Idk, it's possible I guess. But I think the characters have enough design differences to justify *not* being the inspiration as well.

konosuba is an fantasy-isekai comedy so it wouldnt be rare if she was a parody of that character
