"KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" is a wonderful blessing on our (anime) world. Konosuba builds itself up to fall into a lot of different cliches and then just laughs it off. The potential harem is about as obvious as the fact that the main character is....well.... a main character. But the anime lets you expect to see these cliches and then throws your expectations back in your face.
Instead of being adored and chased by his all-female party the main character Kazuma(Yes, this is Kazuma) is given ample face-palm moments in the place of his harem. Konosuba tells the story of the worst RPG party imaginable. His dream to not only survive but thrive inside of an RPG like world? It's destroyed by the crushing reality that his party, despite having every opportunity and possibility to be very OP, is crushed under the weight of their own inadequacy.
The character cast couldn't be more diverse. In a world where survival itself is the main focus, Kazuma's(Yes, this is Kazuma) party isn't afraid to let each of their individual character traits divide them. From a snobby goddess, an eager young mage, and a masochistic crusader, the series shows no lack of uniqueness in the character design and half of the show is watching how the dysfunctional unit can even survive at all, let alone prosper(reminds me of Twitch Plays Pokemon).
Ecchi moments are abound and if this is a "make it or break it" subject for you then Konosuba might get a thumbs down. The plot can be messy and time skips get confusing but it's a comedy series. You're here for the gags and looking too deep into the plot is like listening to death metal for the lyrics.
If you ever needed a solid comedy anime that isn't afraid to break the cliche mold "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" may be just what the Doc ordered.
Megumin is best girl.
