Konosuba - The Best Worst Girls

Konosuba's girls are some of the worst in anime. So why do we act like they're the best?

The brilliance of this show is that, rather than sticking the main character with a bunch of girls that he doesn't deserve, Kazuma is given a "harem" of girls that are exactly what he deserves.

That's not true... ok it's like 80% true, but Aqua is too useless. At least Darkness is a glorified meat shield and Megumin can one-shot all mid-high to low level enemies. Aqua was only useful twice... once was as bait in a cage.

[@Dracopyre321]

You missed a very important point, no matter how bad these girls are, they will do anything for their friends. Dont believe me? Look up that OVA where they desperately try to save kazuma from dying by fulfilling his wish. And, when they realise that kazuma's true wish was just to be with them they just kill him again in the funniest ways and revive him later. They deeply love and care about them. They are like the four best friends who can be the absolute jerks in front of each other, fuck with you at every step just for their fun. But, when it really counts, they wont hesitate to throw their life on the line for their friends. I could go on a lot to defend them but then it will become too long.

[@aldar8240]

I'd just like to say the following: Everyone in Kazuma's party, even him, are all min-maxers to varying levels of effectiveness. Think about it: Darkness, a tank who completely ruined her damage output to tank better. Megumin, a dps who figured she wouldn't need to use other attacks if she made a big enough kaboom. Aqua, who took a pile of personality flaws and tanked luck/intelligence to gain access to the intended-for-NPC "Deity" race and its perks. And Kazuma, who buffed up luck to its max and grabbed the adventurer class so he can grab luck-based skills from a variety of different sources, then grabbed whatever other skills were around to fill out any weakpoints he and his party had. In conclusion, Kazuma's party (there has to be a better name for that. the Konogroup-up, maybe?) is a group of tabletop rpg players who completely cheesed their characters, whilst the DM continually tries and fails to kill them.

Actually, most useless would go to Darkness. This becomes more obvious in the later volumes of the LN, to the point where the entire party literally pokes fun at how little she usually contributes. Aqua's personality and general attitude are what's holding her down but if you look at what she actually has done, she clearly proves she isn't useless at all. She's can revive people from the dead like it is nothing(Dullahan fight). Her magic is strong enough to pierce strong magical barriers (Mobile Fortress Destroyer). She can summon a tsunami out of thin air (Dullahan fight). Her purification magic can severely harm undead (Lichs are one of the strongest types of undead but Aqua can put Wiz in a life threatening state just by holding her hand for a few seconds.) and even water just by touching it. And that's not even considering some of her later feats in the LNs.

My personal favorite is darkness, but I think one of the other appeals of konosuba that people don’t talk about is the fact that we get shown all of the girls in wide variety of clothing and styles. Most other waifus only ever have like one or 2 outfits they’ll ever wear for a whole series, with some shows drawing attention to it when they have the “casual clothes” date. Aqua, megumin, and darkness have a large array of clothes we’ve seen them in so it makes us feel like we know them better. I mean, one of my favorite things about Konosuba is the bra-less nightgowns they all wear at night and how they’re all animated. Name one other show that shows their waifus bra-less in a way that they don’t even mention it, you can just SEE it.

[@feynman6756]

I'm a big Yunyun fan myself. The fact is, the three main girls seem more like family than someone to go on a date with. They're definitely very lovable, but mostly in a playful way. Yunyun, on the other hand... She undeniably has physical attractiveness, and her friendship with Megumin is quite endearing. Her shyness is very cute, if you like that kind of thing, but she can also be intent on the things that really matter to her. Plus, she's actually very competent at magic and is able to get things done. She is intelligent, but can also care deeply for the people close to her (if they aren't scared off first, though unintentionally). She may struggle to make friends, but for me, that just causes me to empathize with her more strongly. Yunyun is capable of love, and deserving of protection. For these reasons, Yunyun is best girl in "Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku Wo!". Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I think the outro music is also an important factor in how beloved the Konosuba girls are. You have to go through a whole episode of the cast's ridiculous antics, but at the end you are met with a cozy little song sung to you by the girl's themselves which drives the point of how while they might all be just well... the worst, they're still all friends and they'll be there for each other. In a way it can be seen as an exaggeration of normal friendships and how everyone has their quirks and shortcomings, but true friends will still love you in spite of that, or even because of it.
