Mixed Feelings
I think Konosuba had a bit more potential. I mainly watched this because I love the character designs and the anime's designs overall look very endearing, it's a light-hearted and easy watch and I was right in predicting that Megumin would be my favorite in the show, she has one of the best anime character designs I've seen and Kazuma is definitely an entertaining and funny character with how ridiculous he finds his female companions, which gave a realistic approach in such a comedic anime, he tells them what I wish I could say.

Despite being a comedy anime, it didn't make me laugh too much besides small chuckles in some episodes(Mainly Episode 8 which was my favorite of the first season), I personally found comedies such as Spy X Family much funnier. Despite this, something made me keep watching Konosuba. I didn't go into this wanting to watch a comedy anime, that's not the point of it for me. I think it's because the plot is extremely easy to follow and the characters are interesting enough to be entertained and interested by.
I think the anime could be a little absurd at parts, such as Episode 9 and the OVA Episode 11 being completely fan-service filler which I'd recommend skipping if you're here for a serious watch and not interested in fan-service, neither of these episodes add anything to the plot and had to give the animators an extra job to make the female bodies jiggle as much as possible. I personally found the fan-service annoying in these two episodes(I don't recall it being an issue in previous episodes), and Kazuma felt a bit out of character in the OVA because while previously not being interested in his female companions whatsoever, he was giving them a bunch of sexual tasks to do in front of him. Since when was he interested in them?- however, due to being an OVA I don't consider that episode canon.

I wouldn't recommend the anime for a serious watch at all(obviously), if you want a light-hearted anime with good character designs and something to watch when you're bored, I'd probably recommend it then.
