GR Anime Review: Konosuba

[@bainbonic]

"He's trying form a decent adventuring party with a stage magician, a one-trick pony, and a masochist." The line that sold me on this series.

[@dziwnalata9271]

Yup... my standard GURPS RPG party... + talking cat as the main DPS (if he is angry enough)... :D

[@NonApplicable1983]

Honestly all of the characters are assholes and I love them.

[@CPD0123a]

The characters are a-holes and idiots, the show is 100% utter trash, the animation is "normal" or "average," it's from an over-done, over-used, and over-baked genre that has completely run its course, and it has too short of an episode run. AND I EFFING LOVE IT. 13/10, would watch again!

[@KingofEuropa07]

He doesn't disguise his desires, and actually has a personality beyond "I want to be the strongest and have lots of friends and I'm a really nice guy honest". I'm not even sure I'd call him a harem protagonist in this one, since the girls aren't really jumping his bones like most Scorned Women's Club do.

[@KaptenN]

Personally, I absolutely LOVE the ending song for KonoSuba. It really gives that calm feeling of a sleepy medieval village which I wish more fantasy games and shows would portray. The game to come closest in my opinion is Banished, which is a medieval village management game.

[@TrapsterJ]

For some reason, out of all the anime I have watched the ending song makes me feel really emotional which I don't understand because there isn't any context for it but its own mellowness seems to get me still and my cold heart usually makes me feel nothing to supposedly cry-worthy moments in other anime so I don't know what's wrong with me.

[@karthikt3619]

Are you sure it's not Darkness? She seems to be the one set up to be with Kazuma if anyone is with Kazuma. Aqua lost her heroine status for good in the first OVA. Megumin is adorable, but too young and more of a party member than a shared main character role.

[@cirnotheicefairy3609]

@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr Darkness? Nah.. try reading the latest of the novels.

[@TheProswagonist]

The reason there were only 10 episodes is because NOBODY expected anything from the show when it first started. It was a show done by DEEN and had very inexperienced seiyuus. This show should not have been as popular as it was. They didn't realize the huge following the show would get until I'd say episode 3, and by that point, it's too late to make more episodes.

[@jmadude]

+sonicboom800 The show got a lot more following when Megumin joined in.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

It is too late to make more episodes even if they had a month notice.

[@CPD0123a]

Gigguk put it best, when he said that it was the "Sleeper Hit" of the Winter 2016 season. Boy am I sad that I waited until now to watch it, except I'm glad because I didn't have to wait a year for season 2.

[@kdakda426]

luckiky theres a season 2

[@yekna459]

sonicboom800 so why does season 2 have only 10 episodes?

[@ShiroKage009]

Dude, the voice acting in this series was absolutely amazing. It has great timing, and so many subtle moments. Also, there's one track out of the OST that I really want. Watch, I think, episode 4 where Megumin and Kazuma go and spam explosions at a castle. During that sequence, the music is just great.

[@SuluXuluS]

+ShiroiKage009 you noticed too? Takahashi Rie is godlike, shes voicing Emilia from Rezero this season

[@ShiroKage009]

SuluX How could I not? My favorite small moment is her very small "bleh" during the opening of episode 6. Verdia comes back complaining about explosions after she promised not to attack him anymore. Everything else, obviously, is of legendary level of performance. I don't always just gobble up an entire character based only on his/her VA's performance, but Takahashi Rie's performance here made me fall in love. Too bad I'm not into Re:Zero at all so I won't get to enjoy her performance this season.

[@lamalfie9105]

+ShiroiKage009 Not into re:zero? Well I guess you don't like dark fantasies?

[@danthespaceman9747]

@@ShiroKage009well there’s nothing sexual if that’s what you’re worried about 😅 that’s the only thing that I can promise though.

[@KoinzellGaming]

The strange thing is that I found that Aqua nicely mellowed out by the end. Every time she did the annoying "I am a great goddess", she got rightfully slapped in the face the next scene, and I felt a kind of sadistic pleasure from her misery... It can't be just me right? Megumin is the greatest.. Especially the thing with the castle... I was laughing my ass off the whole of that scene when the boss comes back to the castle for the second time.. xD

[@dannyc.2758]

That castle moment though.That boss got real pissed and I laughed my ass off when Aqua used turn undead on him.

[@MALICEM12]

[@xtrlsidma]

3 years late but yes Aqua used her points on partly favor magic but remember she also already has a lot of other magic. She can heal, she purify, she can use turn undead, her water magic goes as high as flood class,She can remove curses, revive the dead. I think she has all the wiggle room she wants to get skills she finds fun. In the group she's the most versatile.

[@MWhaleK]

Yes, but she still very earns her title of useless goddess.

[@xtrlsidma]

MWhaleK I say the Goddess from cautious hero is a useless Godess. She only good for healing. Aqua has her fluats but atleast she’s not afraid to attack Demon lord generals and is able to cause them damage. Cautious hero Goddess was like oh hell no when one appeared

[@ListersHatsune]

Being a person who watched it weekly, I disagree with you on the ED. It's good to wind down after a good comedy with somthing relaxing. Enjoying it depends on how you watch it.

[@PaulRaiiin15]

This was definitely the surprise of the season. I did not expect this to be one of my favorites of the season. The one thing I can't agree on with this review is the music: While it wasn't by any means amazing, I think it was above average, with songs like Darkness's theme fitting really well into the mood. Plus the ed felt like a parody of its own show.

[@jemm113]

Due to my recent and permanent dip into DnD and Pathfinder, I can appreciate this anime, an review, at the much higher level. Thank you for being such a big nerd; a big, lovable nerd who probably needs to get out more (other than going to Friday Night Magic or your Homebrew DnD campaign where your brother made Predator the boss and one of the player's is a massively bluffing bear, and another was a grapple happy Luchador).

[@WannaBeAnArtist]

I strongly recommend checking out Akatsuki no Yona, if you haven't already seen it. Amazing plot, awesome character development, and a legit historical element to it. It's one of my favorite series, so I just wonder what your take on it would be.

[@clintwoodlock4974]

I feel like you didn't give the opening and outro songs enough credit other that that pretty good.

[@Doug_R1]

I always watched the ending for the show. I really liked the song, and the tilt shift effect was really nicely done. Do you have any news for an Oregairu season 2 review? You did the first season in the review week of awesome and loved it, and if you liked the first season you'll love the second season.

[@Bludgeoned2DEATH2]

Literally anyone in Kazuma's "harem": KAZUMA-SAN! Kazuma: Hai hai, Kazuma desu. I laugh every time haha.

[@pjw5328]

Basically agree with your take on this one. I didn't even plan to pick it up coming into the winter, and it ended up being one of my favorite shows of the season. I think the short initial episode count and hasty season 2 announcement was because this show did tons better than they expected it to. In Japan it's been the best selling TV series of the winter season by a landslide - the first volume sold over 12,000 discs, more than twice as many as the next-best seller, Grimgar. A few fun facts: * All or nearly all of Megumin's explosions in the series were drawn by the same key animator * For episode 9, which had both the loosest animation and floppiest breasts in the series, the episode director was Koichi Kikuta, and those two things are both very much part of his particular animation style * Maaya Uchida (who voiced Rikka in Chunibyo) voiced Megumin in the Drama CD, though not in the series itself

[@kavka3842]

Tristan, have you seen Grimgar? I'd like to see a GR on it!

[@Donn66]

+Shatadhi Dutta same

[@MrWar2244]

yeah I want to see that.

[@JamesEDonaldson]

+Shatadhi Dutta I thought Grimgar would be amazing, when they put a focus on monsters being "living creatures" which gave death such an impact, but at the end all I could say it was boring and forgettable.

[@Donn66]

I could not disagree more. I had no expectations, and the character development left me completely satisfied. I am a fan of slow, character driven stories and Grimgar is one of the best on that aspect. Fights carry weight and have meaning too, with each character developing with every battle, in strength and personality. But, I will say, it's not for everyone. I can say for myself, I had a blast, and definitely wont forget it anytime soon. :P

[@JamesEDonaldson]

Gianinni Vieira That's cool man, not saying your opinion is wrong, just what you said you got, is exactly what I felt I didn't get. To me the best scenes were stuff like the Goblins playing Chess (subtle stuff that shows there's more to them). All the human development felt like forced drama and long winded talks to save animation time, without the characters actually getting better, except maybe Mary. I also thought Yume would be something then she vanished, after the crying scene, main guy then spends all his time with Mary, then at the end Ranta actually likes Yume. It just...fizzled for me, if that makes sense.

[@Trades46]

"Megumin best girl" You sir have earned a sub! ... Kidding. I'm not as shallow as that for subs, but honestly I watched some of your other reviews and was left impressed; you actually got me interested in some series I would have otherwise passed off. This sub was earned for the effort you do, not for Megumin (partially anways). Keep up the good work.

[@snickersnacker4502]

+Trades46 While opinions do differentiate on some shows, I still follow Tristan because I feel he always gives the show a fair run...Even if I'm on the side that likes SAO and Dislikes AoT and similar other disagreements. I do feel He gives decent reasons for liking or disliking elements of shows rather then just saying...It was bad because it was Sword Art Online or something equally as thoughtless.

[@Ikbob11]

I disagree about the ending theme. I love it. got a bit of feels to it for me, even though it reminded me that the show was going nowhere -_-

[@ashleey5614]

The one thing that steals my sleep, is all the possible outcomes to which way Konosuba's story is heading. 1) we know that Kazuma died at the begining; what about his 'body'? Will there ever come a time we get to see what happened and how his parents reacted etc. and will Kazuma ever think of that?? I don't think Aqua was being serious when explaining his death to him and something else happened or was going to.. 2) Its only my imagination but what if Megamin and Kazuma are same people from different universe or something like that? Or what if all 4 are same one? 3) and speaking of that, what if they all are online gamers but from diffrent universe (or whatever) or just normal human beings like Kazuma? Because in the end Konosuba is very much like playing a RPG game with friends; 1 who is total useless or rager and screams all the time, one who is way to into roleplay of his/her charecter, one who loves the pain of hard games or the one who always cracks jokes(speacially sexual)

1. Ajin 2. Kono suba 3. Erased

[@G_Spark233]

+joelstl15 same and they're both getting second seasons!

[@G_Spark233]

+Dizzy Tackson wut

[@G_Spark233]

***** I sort of see the resemblance but it's a ridiculously large stretch to claim that they stole her.

[@Coltaine_]

***** Which character?

[@CanterlotCrusader]

To me it was he unexpected jem of the season. I wrote it off based on looks alone until, having nothing else to do, decided to watch it (rest of season wasn't that good) and it exploded my expectations. Love this show, and I'm so proud that it did financially well enough to warrant a second season.

[@Arpin_Lusene]

Megumin is best bait thumbnail explosion girl.

[@nilspalmstierna3086]

PLEASE do a review on your lie in april! One of my top favourites of all time and it made me cry so very much.

[@RegretHeart]

God's blessing on this wonderful world. what a wonderful name.

[@Shane24597]

I don't speak japanese but I loved hearing Kasuma's replies, like the "kasuma des" Ark included in the video. The indifferent yet annoyed voice always got a laugh out of me. hai hai kasuma des :3

[@MrSonicDoctor]

Hey Arkada, can you do a First Reaction to My Hero Academia. I hear you love that One Punch guy.

[@javahikage]

KonoSuba is the guilty pleasure of the Winter '16 season. You know it has failures, you know that some parts make you yell "Why!?" (mostly with Aqua) but at the end, you enjoyed the most parts of the show. The Succubi episode had me laughing almost all the time. Looking forward for that 2nd season and YES! Megumin best girl! :D you earned my brofist Ark xD

[@Mirro18]

You know, when i watched it had the feeling as if they took 10 episodes cause they wanted to be meta and break the format cause they are a parody anime. Idk that was the feeling I got even though the time skip was uncalled for

[@sedeasedeasedea]

One day I will hear the intro sound and not expect Roundabout to start playing

[@BathoryQueen]

I have news from the future: there's a movie and a second season

[@default632]

I can confirm. I have news from the future. There's a third season

[@Josearnaldomanuel2]

The phrase "EXPLOSION!!!" never got old in the span of the series. 7:00 Also the face they always make when they're fed up about something never failed to crack me up.

[@NSLikeableHuman]

Review: Contains Megumin. Megumin a best. 11/10. Q.E.D.

[@flyingcat9857]

Thumbnail:120/100

[@Zekaz_Nohea]

actually in the credits they say that there is going to be a second season.

[@G_Spark233]

He mentioned that.

[@Zekaz_Nohea]

+G_Spark233 yeah I commented before I watched the whole thing.

[@boredlazymax]

Megumin - MAX Atk Darkness - MAX Def Aqua - MAX Stats Kazuma - MAX luck

[@ReDempTedSpider]

We can all agree Megumin is best girl right?

[@SC-hj3hq]

Yes

[@kaz2739]

Yea

[@TBoneTony]

Season 2 gives more backstory to the characters and the Movie is fully based on Megumin from LN Vol 5. I am sure the next movie is going to be based on Darkness from LN Vol 7 or maybe Princess Iris from Light Novel Vol 6. Getting the Light Novels is perhaps the best recommendation because out of the 17 Volumes of Light Novels, the Anime adaptation is mostly going to get as far as Vol 5 or at least Vol 10 being optamistic.

[@bladebreaker4life]

will gintama ever be done at least the movie i frustrated that it only got 10 episode, but at least it will get a second season.

[@Bardeus]

Nice Review as always. Will you make an Osomatsu-san Review? It was a fairly good and bizarre comedy.

[@ScottvsWild]

So im assuming youll do a first look of re:zero

[@ScottvsWild]

Reaction*

[@Garrettmcarpenter]

+Scott vs Wild That's a trademarked term. Thanks Fine Bros.

[@ScottvsWild]

+Garrett Carpenter xD first look or reaction

[@KhanMann66]

+Scott vs Wild Reaction. But don't worry that's all water under the bridge.

[@Garrettmcarpenter]

Scott vs Wild Ichigo1423jfk React as a general term. And it was a jab/joke at that whole debacle.

[@kingofsapi]

Oddly... I've loved both ED songs to this show. It's, strangely soothing and heart-felt. Haven't finished the second season yet, but I am looking forward to doing so. :)

[@kenny-zc9ti]

kingofsapi mother's basement reviewed this anime's op and ed. he is one of the best when it comes to analyzing stuff
