Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (3/10 eps)
I must confess to being a bit mystified as to why both the first and second season of this show have been so warmly received, imagine Log Horizon with none of the things that make Log Horizon good and a liberal sprinkling of common or garden variety shounen ecchi and that's KonoSuba.

The characters are stock and static, the dynamics between them are stock and static, the plot so far as it has a plot as opposed to just a setting has been done a dozen times before and even on its own terms it wears its gags threadbare (oh look, the cast have been eaten by giant amphibians again...), it's a fun but entirely middling show.

To be fair to it, it's difficult to be too critical of KonoSuba as really it's pretty mindless, you can safely say that as a viewer it'll be difficult for you to feel too disappointed in this show as your investment in it is going to be so minimal.

What it does well: being light forgettable fun.

What it does poorly: basically everything else.


I'd give it a 5.5 but I can't so it gets rounded up to a 6, enjoy it, but you'll have forgotten it by the start of the Summer 2017 season.
