I honestly don't get all the hype behind Konosuba. I sat through every episode thinking to myself, "Okay is THIS when I'll start liking the show?", only to finish an episode with dissatisfaction. I even tried a bit of the second season to see if, maybe, it gets better. It doesn't. Maybe it's because I don't like when characters are genuinely mean to each other or maybe I don't like asshole characters, but I didn't really like... any of the characters. Maaaaybe Kazuma since he's often the voice of reason but even then I kinda didn't like him.

The humor... I don't understand why people think this show is funny?? I don't remember a single time I laughed, except for maybe when Darkness did her whole shtick the first time. Also, each character's "funny quirk" got old really quickly when it's like, the one thing they do all the time. Just feels like beating a dead horse.

I also don't remember the story. Maybe because Konosuba doesn't really have one, more like slice-of-life stuff but even then there are no memorable moments for me. All I remember is generic fetch quest stuff that you see in every other isekai anime.

This show also falls under a term I'm going to co-opt as a "horny guy anime" cause you can TELL that this anime is definitely marketed towards horny guys. And sometimes that's forgivable if the show is actually better than decent, but honestly... this show has nothing that lets me forgive the sheer horniness of it all. Almost every girl is big-chested to the point that I feel sympathetic pain for her back, or wears clothes so revealing it leaves me wondering if there's some in-universe magic going on to keep everything from showing. The one exception is Megumin, but then again they crack jokes about her being flat-chested, which is SUCH an overused joke and was never funny in the first place. I will give props to the show for not making EVERY girl character immediately like Kazuma, but it kinda falls flat with their fanservicey designs. Honestly I just don't like fanservice, cause imo it's a cheap and quick way to earn points with the male demographic. Pity that I have to sit through it with a lot of popular anime.

If you're looking for a way to pass the time cause you literally have nothing better to do and nothing else to watch, then this show is for you (I literally watched this show while recovering from an injury). If you actually have things to do, then skip this show. It's generic and decent AT BEST, and you can honestly find better.
