I'm getting the impression that the borderline crimson demons are terrorists of their own village lol.

This episode was chaotic af, but man am i absolutely howling about how they managed to slip a fucking cuckholding joke into the megumin series before the main series (unless i missed it). My humour is scuffed but man i'm still laughing to myself about this.

I was caught so fucking off guard about it cus i genuinely thought Megumin was gonna monologue about being happy YunYun finally made friends even if it meant leaving herself behind. Then the music just cuts and how you can hear Rie Takahashi's voice on the cusp of cracking when Megumin screams back is fucking gold.

I'm honestly not at all surprised about how the heroes of the Crimson Village are also the locals, and how the solution to solving an attack on the village is to destroy the attackers with extreme prejudice along with the village.

Though people told me that I could watch this anime without having watched the main series, I started it; but episode 1 didn't make a lot of sense to me. I binge-watched season 1 this week and episode 2 made more sense, though the humor seems somewhat "decaffeinated" in comparison.

I wish I'd have already watched also season 2, since I don't know anything about Memegumin's cat. I'll be watching it during this week and I hope I have completed it or at least watched most of it for the next episode.

It was worth watching but nowhere near as funny or entertaining as the original series.

why tf do you watch this if you didn't watch konosuba
it's not unique or very different from it just inferior and you're just ruining the original for yourself

This episode was quite funny, id say more so then the first episode, but it still hasen't reached the same hights as the original Konosuba which i consider to be among the funniest anime ever made. The funniest character so far is Megumins sister and i think the sisters interactions are the ones that give the most laughs and has the most hart.

Btw, don't like creepo characters that much and have almost never found pervert humor that all that funny so the guy in the well was the least funny part of the episode to me, still can't wait for episode 3

I get that vibe as well.

The original Konosuba is fantastic, and one of my favorite anime's. However, it feels like people are saying this is the best thing since sliced bread just cause it has Megumin in it and Konosuba in the title.

If it was just a random season show with no ties, I feel like the score would be substantially lower. I just really haven't been wowed with this show, Megumiin is a great supporting character, but I don't think she holds up as a lead. The jokes have been meh, and overall the show feels very middle of the road.

Now as always I try not go to crazy with a review if I haven't seen the entire show, which is why I am waiting to score it, I am hoping that it gets better, cause right now it doesn't feel like a Konosuba show.

I love how all the girls gave their most derpiest reaction to the gargoyle. While Arue held a stone cold poker face. It's as if Arue is not fazed by the monster.

I know they decided to make a ton of scaled figures of Megumin but I am not sure if Megumin collectors are having second thoughts if they see a show without aqua and darkness.

I am curious to see the perception of konosuba in the long run. It is certain to get more seasons but will reception dip as it goes by due to how it is structure and not taken seriously.

Why did the adults turn their gazes towards the girls while using the lightsaber??
I was wondering the same. It seemed like a buildup for something funny but I don't know if I missed something or what
"Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions."

I can't see the hype around this. Both episodes have been quite lackluster and i can't make a connection with any character. Megumin in Konosuba was all about being small and explosions and i guess Kazuma constantly teasing her. He's the real deal. With this, i barely even laugh; there's bits of material but most poorly executed.
