Story : 8/10
In all honesty, the first 7 episodes were just a repeat of season 1. If the show would have went on like that, I would have rated the show a 5. Good thing the "hot spring arc" came by and actually explored a new location. KonoSuba has a great setting, so the various towns/locations need to be explored more.
Art : 3/10
"BUT THE ARTSTYLE IS INTENTIONALLY BAD CAUSE IT'S FUNNY"- let me stop you right there.
Sure, the derpy art does add some comedic value, after all, Deen somewhat knows how to do derpy art, with Kore wa Zombie Desu Ka? being a perfect example, but that's not the problem. It's rushed. There's a limit between derpy art and bad art, and KonoSuba falls very close to the boundary between those 2. The art was screaming "WE ARE SAVING MONEY" shamelessly. This can be forgiven, since some frames actually made me chuckle, but that's not the biggest problem either.
The animation. Oh god do I cringe everytime I watch the opening, the ending with poorly drawn still images, the episodes with poor proportions on characters, unnatural not even derpy movement, nothing is shaded.. The list goes on and on. The animation in KonoSuba S2 is objectively bad. The art falls under some kind of subjectivity, but the animation is inexplicably poor and, yet again rushed. A perfect example of this would be an opening scene of episode 9, with a priest character walking towards Kazuma unshaded, poorly drawn, shifting in size, and poorly proportioned. Sadly this repeats throughout the anime. If the animation didn't make me cringe, I would have rated the anime an 8.
The worst part is that Deen knows how to animate things properly. Episode 10 had very good animation and a perfect balance between derpy and good art. But for some unknown reason, I cannot say that same for the rest of the show. Most likely money saving.
Sound : 8/10
The character voices are sometimes irritating, but most of the time the voice acting is on point. Sadly the opening song, as well as the ending song just sound like a copy of the OP/ED from season 1. This doesn't lower the mark, I'd just like to hear something more original.
Character : 10/10
This is where KonoSuba shines. The show focuses on character interaction and does so very well. I would think that season 2 would just be a repeat of the same jokes used in season 1 (which it sort of was the case), but it deviated enough from season 1 and brought more original humor and specific character traits to every character. The only bad thing I could say is that some of the characters, such as Wiz, weren't developed enough. Being my favourite, I would love to see some more backstory and jokes to Wiz, instead of only having a small part dedicated to her in episode 10. Same goes for Yunyun.
Enjoyment : 7/10
Faltered by the poor animation, I enjoyed season 2 less than season 1. If season 3 comes around, I'm hoping for the same level of quality as seen in episode 10.
Overall : 7/10
I would definitely recommend watching both of the KonoSuba seasons if you manage to not pay much attention to the art or the animation. It's a good, funny show to kill time when you're bored. It could have been better.
