Now Konosuba has been a quite polarizing subject back when the LN and the anime was released it was a BIG turning point for Isekai in which can be for the better and worse this one though is for me felt at least decent. For the animation department it is nice at least: 25https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/590864642000027666/1121726973442539610/image.png 2 studio changes later from Deen to J. C. to Drive now the animation could be a LITTLE bit stiff the first 3 episodes are prominent of this stiff and somewhat clunky animation from Drive However the studio SEEMED to learn that in the later episodes and especially when Megumin did her first Explosion the animation is greatly improved as for the most part they still stay true to what made Konosuba entertaining. The characters felt at least decent and more screen time along with development of the other Crimson Demons Arue and Funifura weve seen in the movie https://anilist.co/anime/102976/KONOSUBAGodsblessingonthiswonderfulworldLegendofCrimson/: 20https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/590864642000027666/1088066555260182558/image.png No Kazuma Aqua Darkness are present or pivotal to the plot so I wont be covering them in this review but the subtlety is quite fun to say the least. The Known characters first: Megumin: still the same Chuunibyou who is majorly obsessed of planting stadiumsized craters into forests this time around we get a reason as to why: she has the staff she wants to learn explosion magic and the eyepatch momentarily She still has the big flaw can only spawn a nuke one time a day making her somewhat useless in some scenarios so her personality is still kept and doesnt ruin any of the original lore Same goes for Yunyun still the same Rival/Friend of Megumin but her personality is shown a LOT more here mainly her socialization with others. Arue and Funifura: They are the reasons why Megumin has the eyepatch and the staff and theyre overall quite goofy and likeable. Bukkorori: Doesnt serve much to the plot or ANYTHING. The new characters: Cecily: Introduced halfway through the show she is one of the most silly and goofy characters in this ENTIRE show while she does help Megumin a lot she is still quite a charming character. Zesta: somewhat perverted and theres one time he was wrongfully punished for some reason. Arnes and Host: quite the same they want Chomusuke and theyre intimidating although I dont like how they kill off Host though. The story is decent: 20https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/590864642000027666/1113813961649967184/IMG0914.png It is still engaging BUT the worldbuilding is just mediocre at moments Arcanletia suffers from this the most. Overall If you want more Konosuba before season 3 then this is a watch but its not ENTIRELY essential and if you DO watch it you will find some bits and pieces interesting.
