WELCOME TO KONOSUBA'S RIFT
This review will be rigged with League of Legends references. If you don't get it, you obviously demand to showtime playing the game right now. And no at that place's no spoiler.
Konosuba > DotA two *Grabs boobs*.
At a quick glance, Konosuba might exist as boilerplate as any other RPG harem where the MC is Faker playing against a bunch of Crowns and Kuros, where all he has to do is perform a barrel scroll on phase and so go on to win Worlds. Iii times.
Incorrect. It's far from that yet information technology was so good that I would consider this anime to be THE anime of the season. How? (MF support duh) Later 10 episodes directed past Mr. Michael Bay, our party of Statuary V garbage feeders still hasn't managed to get out of the ghetto donkey town made for noobs and losers, let alone destroying the enemy Nexus. Basically, the plot moved SLOWER THAN THE FUCKING CLOCK WHEN I'M AT Piece of work. At the very least, they did manage to slay a super fed Mordekaiser (only he did nothing wrong ;_;), subcontract that clueless Tahm Kench over and over and survive a debacle of One-for-all Renekton gank. 30 SECONDS UNTIL MAIN CHARACTERS SPAWN The art was bright and colorful, reflecting the overall mellow mood. the background and water fine art were peculiarly cute that they gave me eyegasm. The skin, textures and animation is fairly proficient, but at times they were sloppy like a bunch of chimpanzees were substituted in to have charge of production. The soundtracks and OP/ED songs were okay, adequately relaxing, mellow which captured the overall silly and light-hearted nature of the serial but not that impressive (to me at least). It would've been better if the troll music from Random LoL Moments on Youtube were used. On the other hand, the vocalism acting was superb which profoundly contributed to the one-act and overall enjoyment of the series. Kazuma's "Hai, Kazuma desu", Aqua's cries and rants were so hilarious I tin can't fifty-fifty. What made Konosuba highly enjoyable was the team of 5 totally dysfunctional, insufferable trash players and the comedy that resulted from their disability to cooperate, which led to their flaming one another and getting utterly raped by whatever's going on effectually them. Konosuba makes fun of the RPG genre and its cliches in general instead of following them, leaving a stronger impression on me, the viewer who's plainly tired of SAO, Log Horizons and such. Furthermore, no anime would exist complete without this nearly fundamental rule: Beautiful girls. Konosuba'south cast of girls (and Kazuma) were cute, yes, they're even highly distinctive and did not fall into apparent tropes that are so overused nowadays, making them relatively fresh. "Baa.......kaaaa Ta...taaa......taric-kun, information technology's non like I wanted to go bot lane with you or anything... Don't misunderstand" - Tsundere Ezreal. "I'm sorry Lux-chan, I, Taric, Ezreal-tan's eternal lover will be the only ane immune to go bot lane with him" *Swings hammer* - *Rainbow splatters* - Yandere Taric No, no, we don't need whatever of that, become outta here. Main CHARACTERS HAVE SPAWNED - The adc: Satou Kazuma, leader, our hella weak dickwad of an adc compared to Jesus-kun of the RPG world Kirito, but he'due south got the brain and he actually fights smart despite his auto-flaming. His cynical and realist attitude separated him from our usual never-give-up nakama-powered MCs, which might as well make him the best MC of the flavor. He's the just adc to not dive into the heart of the enemy squad, as rare as it sounds. He's surrounded by idiots and the style he deals with them is uber hilarious, reminds me of how I deal with my own League party. You did not realize that the adc is a melee, and you're not going to question information technology. Movement on FIRST Blood - The Mid Laner, One Explosion Girl a.k.a Michael Bay's waifu: She's basically Ziggs but with only the Ult, thus she's literally useless after using it, requiring someone to carry her (literally and figuratively) else she'll feed the enemy team's Tahm Kench and Mordekaiser. She is, of course, flamed by Kazuma throughout the series. She'south cute, yeah, only she's non similar your average moeblob. She's got explosive personalities, explosive ambitions and explosive love for explosions. Hue ENEMY DOUBLE Impale - The Elevation Laner, a.chiliad.a MasoLeona: What's amend than a tank? A MASOCHISTIC TANK!!!!!!! She's tankier than Rammus, Malphite, and Alistar w/ full tank build combined but her aim is worse than mine in the morning trying to piss while blinded by the Satan God Teemo (he's the existent Demon King they take to kill). Needlessly to say, she joyously took all the aggro and flaming like a real Chiliad. Scenes where she verbally "abused" the honorable Dullahan were priceless. Poor Dully. If merely she could aim her East properly... Who fifty-fifty plays Leona height nowadays? This is like fucking Dyrus trolling every game when he'southward streaming after having retired from TSM. ENEMY TRIPLE Kill - The Support, Best Girl (deplorable Michael Bay fans): Basically your toxic feeder Nami with legs building ap instead of support items while going around trash talking to people and fucking shit up with wataah. She'southward super derp, always trying to ragequit, feeds Tahm Kench furiously and is constantly flamed past Kazuma but that'southward where the fun comes from. She just needs a hug and I wanna requite her a big hug so badly because she was forced to play support by Kazuma, it's non her fault guys!!! ENEMY QUADRA Impale - The Jungler, Wizzlestick (considering ap jungler w/ drain, but and then again it'southward a contradiction considering she is... well... thick, while Fiddlestick is... well... a stick): The i who is super fed but merely came to gank like twice during the entire anime but who cares? She'southward kind and cute af, and she destroys the enemy when it matters nearly. Unfortunately the support absolutely hates her guts because she'south non playing a meta champ, but this is the only fourth dimension when not everyone blamed the jungler for their misery. If but she ganked lane more often, she'd be a best girl contender. Allow's exist honest that she's simply here considering I don't want to have a team of 4 when implementing League of Legends in my review. ENEMY PENTAKILL Everyone is 1/10 fed and 9/10 feeder, however due to the circumstances they take to stick together considering 4 is always improve than i (5 if the Jungler actually showed upward). This is where Konosuba is almost different and in a good mode, the characters slowly become stronger, amend at teamwork, more sympathetic and understanding of one another over, (still weak in the end), not shitting out powers and eternal bonds of friendship all of a sudden. Nobody gets ult from Level ane guys... OUR TURRET HAS BEEN DESTROYED I could relate to Kazuma then well, being a decent League player who prefers to stick to a group of average feeders and make them better, rather than joining a agglomeration of diamonds considering then victory doesn't feels similar a true accomplishment, and at that place's no fun curb-stomping the enemy team all the time. Believe me, I raged hard the night I wrote this review because nosotros played like retards lol. OUR INHIBITOR HAS BEEN DESTROYED After successfully defending the base from Super Siege Minion spawned by Warlord's Banner of Command, our gang must caput into the counteroffensive to be brought past season 2. But until then, let's just say that season 1 was exhilarating to scout. I especially appreciated the silly comedy, the anti-harem and anti-OP MC themes from the series. Michael Bay would be then proud of Megumin and Konosuba, someone needs to prove him this series please. DEFEAT.... barely avoided.

Konosuba is an anime that I initially thought was going to exist swell. I mean, it had crawly grapheme design, and it was funny! Well... equally you lot can probably see by the score, my opinion changed pretty quickly. In my opinion, at least 90% of comedy anime are destined for failure, because not everyone is going to find them funny. This one is no exception.
__________________________________________________________________________
STORY: 2/10
I'one thousand pretty sure everybody has said this already, simply, it really is true. After the extreme success of Sword Art Online the reality to game genre has become an insanely overused trope. Konosuba does take 1 thing going for it though... Instead of choosing to become ridiculously powerful like virtually every other protagonist, this protagonist decides to take the wish granter with him to the 'subarashi sekai'. I can tell yous, I wasn't expecting that! The art itself in Konosuba... is bad. Really bad. Equally in, it looks mode likewise old for 2022 quality. Information technology could have been worse, MUCH worse, but it is by no means impressive. What is impressive all the same, is the blitheness, especially in episode 10, with all those explosion scenes. Radiant colors flaring everywhere, shapes of all different sizes, just most importantly, in the episodes with the succibi and in the mansion..... HOLY CRAP DID YOU SEE THOSE JIGGLE PHYSICS?! Ugh... well, hither goes. Konosuba's sound factor. The opening theme is very catchy. But not the kind of fashion that makes you want to sing it all the fourth dimension, the kind that makes you lot regret e'er haring it because you can't stop singing information technology. The catastrophe theme as well, is just patently and not something anyone will think. I did like how some characters got themes to lucifer their personalities, but even and so the music was mediocre at best. The voice acting is done decently, just is zippo special. The sound effects were besides boilerplate. I'm actually scared to be writing this right now, because the amount of butthurt fanboys is going to be insane. But, here goes... I'll get-go off with character design. Unrecognizable. Every. Single. One of 'em. They have the traditional 'fantasy world' wearable and design, through and through. As for their personalities: Kazuma is a funny lead that tries to defy the harem cliches. Aqua is funny too, and memorable for sure, simply she is outshined by Darkness, a masochist. Yep. You heard me. A masochist. Hilarious! And of couuuurse, how could I forget fan favorite Megumin! Super cute and always unleashing explosions, what is NOT to dear well-nigh these characters?!....... They aren't funny anymore. Usually unique characters being fit into a ten episode anime similar this are praised and loved by all, because there isn't enough time to realize the flaws in the character. (I'm guilty of this also). That'south non the example with Konosuba. I think information technology was around episode 7 when I stopped laughing because I had heard the aforementioned jokes over and over again. By episode 10, they were direct upwards annoying. Konosuba... ok, I'one thousand not fifty-fifty going to say it had potential, because information technology didn't. It was doomed to neglect from the start. If you consider this anime funny it is definitely something to try, but if non, don't bother. I would only recommend it to extreme fans of the reality to game genre, and.... well... that's it. If you savour it, good for you! As for me, Konosuba was not my loving cup of tea.

MAKE WAY FOR THE Actual BEST Testify OF WINTER 2016!!!
KonoSuba spews out pure joys and rainbows. With other shows telling neat stories or exploring philosophy and other themes, Konosuba ignores all that and focuses on pure amusement! With genuinely hilarious albeit niche comedy, any flaws this series has are but parodied to still become enjoyable. At that place's very little to criticize about this show, because I'm non even sure whether or non all of these "flaws" it has are there on purpose or not.
KonoSuba is the obligatory goofball of its season. Information technology's so over the top, simply it manages to execute its quirkiness in a way that's super hilarious and lighthearted. Instead of pursuing a serious story, it focuses on piece of life shenanigans that make fun of stereotypes, similar character tropes and MMO characteristics. KonoSuba is an amazing anime to merely sit downwardly and relax to. Other shows getting on your nerves with their turtle or cheetah pacing? Pop an episode of KonoSuba. Feeling downward because you only finished an amazing evidence, and you have fallen into a showhole? KonoSuba will cheer you lot up with its refreshing comedy, and it will become you back into an anime watching mood in no fourth dimension! Pros: Cons: Story: half-dozen Konosuba has this thing it likes to do, and that's bring everything full circle for the laughs. And when I say full circumvolve, I mean literally full circle, as in by the cease of all the outrageous things happening, the story hasn't progressed a single step. Even and so, there is a sense of a growing bond, possibly an unhealthy bond simply a bond for sure, between the characters, and this is definitely something that progresses throughout the series. Unfortunately, this developing bond leaves the story in the dust. Konosuba is like parkour: it takes the most insane and outrageous route to become to where information technology wants to go, except information technology doesn't become anywhere. Art: 8 Sound: 8 Characters: 9 However, gimmicks like these tin simply become so far. The real value behind these characters are their interactions. These days, graphic symbol interactions are the base of comedy anime and if the interactions seem unnatural or forced, the jokes tin only be so funny. In Konosuba, non only are the interactions very natural and flow well, but they are and so god damn unpredictable. Despite the plainly clear cutting tropes these characters follow, the interactions end up being stuff you wouldn't await. Timing and predictability play every bit important of a role as the quality of the joke itself, and the bandage of Konosuba goes out of their way to execute jokes perfectly. Enjoyment: 10 Overall: 8 TL;DR: Take out all the flaws of SAO and replace information technology with one-act, and you get this testify! Hither IS TO A GLORIOUS AND OUTRAGEOUS SEASON 2!!!
- Cast of characters are funny and resemble other awesome characters.
- Parody references of MMO mechanics are creative, funny, and now that you think about information technology, MMOs make no sense at all!
- For a silly series, the animation and art is gorgeous and the soundtrack is awesome too! The ED particularly has a Fairy Tail feel.
- Just pure joy comes out of watching this.
- MY CABBAGES!!!!
- The prove is so cliche that information technology'southward anti-cliche.
- There is very picayune relevant plot.
- Only 10 episodes. Really? Are y'all kidding?
- Has promises of going somewhere withal never does.
- Since characters are parodies, they don't take much character of their own and aren't very unique.
Despite the fact that there is near no actual story, and that it's more like a slice of life of a stereotypical MMORPG world, the piffling events that happen are creative and enjoyable, peculiarly to y'all hardcore MMORPG gamers out there. Konosuba's starting time episode is actually i of the better first episodes in the medium, every bit it tells you exactly what y'all're getting yourself into. The show parodies the mechanics of MMO games to the point of boner inducing laughs, such as highlighting the outrageousness of what MMO skills can do, besides as the randomness and weirdness of MMO events and quests. It also parodies anime by using subtle 4th wall breaks in reaction to what the characters say or practise. The evidence is a parody and the characters know it. Konosuba has this quirk of doing something and then stupidly outrageous that y'all tin can't even go mad at information technology. This show is incredibly self aware of its silliness, and as a event, takes it fifty-fifty higher.
Fifty-fifty silly anime have high budget art and blitheness, and KonoSuba is proof of that. The animation is actually really gorgeous (for example, the animation of the DNA strands are really pretty cool!) The characters look like shit but for all the right reasons, Aqua's design highlights her adorableness and cynical nature. The other characters also take fitting designs for their characteristics, and have some lilliputian resemblances to other characters that they could possibly be based off of. However, this is Deen we are talking about, and so it never keeps this quality of blitheness, and it lowers in quality constantly. KonoSuba is one of those shows that actually benefits from its shitty art at times, and the really poorly drawn faces make me laugh that much harder. In fact, I was nether the impression that Deen was making fun of their own shitty animation with this serial.
The OP is catchy and the ED is amazing. The OST is pretty adept, but the main highlight is the Vocalization Acting. The seiyuus lucifer their characters amazingly, each line being executed with passion and free energy. I wouldn't know for sure, simply information technology sounded like the seiyuus were having a blast. The execution of the punch lines striking domicile every time. This show is a very loud show, characters are constantly screaming at each other and laughing in distorted ways, and I'm sure it's tough for the seiyuus' voices. When it comes to comedy, the jokes are only every bit funny equally how funny information technology is told, and in this case, it was told well.
This cast is and so outrageous, they essentially brand the show. Each grapheme parodies a stereotype, and they do it very well. The MC, Kazuma, is the smart but talentless trope who is the merely sane i effectually, and whenever his mindset matches the viewer, which happened a decent amount with me, it made the situations one-act gold. Aqua parodies the dumb merely full of potential clumsy character, Megumin is the chuunibyou trope (except not actually cause her powers are real) and has a lot of confidence. And of form, Darkness is the obligatory perverted masochist! They take their tropes as far as they can become, and it makes this show that much funnier.
This show is incredibly refreshing and, nearly importantly, holds a lot of rewatch value! It's a good example of a show that is practiced and feels good.
This prove is so fun to watch. If you want a show were you don't have to think virtually anything and y'all can just sit and enjoy whatever is thrown at you, this show'south gotchu! Of class, many watch anime expecting a plot that actually goes somewhere, and Konosuba is definitely not going anywhere, but I implore that you at least give it a shot.

______________________________________________________________
Konosuba is virtually likely the last anime i'll be watching this summer. In a way, that makes me happy. Its a very light-hearted and informal show that I honestly don't want to critique too heavily. At its core, its but so likable and easy to picket. All the same, I wouldn't be a hardass if I didn't tear up a likable show like this every and then often, so lets get into it.
Much like this prove, i'll continue this review breezy and to-the-point. Just not earlier I explicate the concept of comedy. ... The very base idea of a joke is something that makes someone laugh. Something told through a story with a funny punchline that subverts expectations and causes a response of happiness. Put simply, this is exactly what a joke should be. Jokes and one-act in full general live on unexpectedness. Something called "subversion." If you think back to whatsoever funny joke, the punchline is always there to subvert some sort of expectation. Whether its making something dirtier than yous originally thought, or stupider, or more random, or darker, everything in humor is there to be unexpected at its core. I won't delve into ironic humor which is obviously get so large recently. Merely that's it. To evidence my point I typed in "Funny jokes" on google and the first website I went on was titled Jokes.cc.com. I clicked the get-go tab I saw and the first joke I saw and what I read the following : A grasshopper walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Hey, nosotros take a drink named after you!" Is it a good joke? Well, perchance not. Its a very overdone joke at this point, but it follows every format that a joke does. It had a setup, a commitment, a punchline, and a subversion of expectations with that punchline. Yous expect a grasshopper non to take a name but human, his proper noun is STEVE! Fucking hilarious! Or, at least it was at some point. So the more we encounter a like setup and delivery, the more unfunny a joke becomes. The less you get surprised when the punchline has an beast maxim his proper name is "Steve". That subversion chemical element is gone and the joke is no longer funny. It becomes a cliche. But still, I come across so much television out there that strives on comedic cliches in bad and practiced ways. In a bad way, in that location is telly out there merely checking off a checklist of "platitude humor that is sure to make someone express mirth", and then in a good manner, there are shows out at that place that use platitude sense of humour AS the setup to a more clever or ironic punchline. With that in heed, i'll go into Konosuba. ______________________________________________________________ [Part 1] : The theme This is a fun little show. I won't waste your time by giving you a plot synopsis, but at its core its a show virtually a dysfunctional grouping of people trying to alive in a fantasy world. I automatically recommend information technology for two kinds of people. Gorging MMO players as well every bit but fans of anime. Its at its funniest when it does clever (and occasionally non-then-clever) nods to the idea of being a evidence most a party in an MMO. A tank who's a horndoggo masochist. A healer who's a weakling and a coward. A glass-cannon DPS who's out of mana after one spell. The party-leader who'due south useless in combat. Its a funny concept in itself and it lends well to subvert a lot of expectations that anime has. Especially with the nail of MMO anime like Sword Art Online, RE:Goose egg, etc. Its always nice to come across the piss being taken out of a actually popular cliche. I merely wish Konosuba really did that more than. I felt like this concept was often a bit too hidden or even underutilized. A lot of scenes were simply cliche and not a funny twist on the platitude. Mind you, I don't find pointing out that this a cliche and notwithstanding doing it with a straight face is any different that just doing the cliche and moving on. If annihilation, it drags it out. The testify is occasionally self-aware and occasionally not. That's what makes the tonal shifts in a few episodes and then jarring. We have a lot of self-sensation in the final episode of the season and then literally none in the episode before. This makes the author of the Light Novel experience as though he'south red picking the things he wants to make fun of. If anything, the reason this show falls a little short in execution is because the author isn't willing to to go "whole squealer" with the concept. Its like he's laughing at one thing considering he thinks its stupid and so doing some other, equally impaired, cliche with a direct face. It comes off as though he's not creative plenty to think of something else in identify of that cliche. Or if anything, do it with the same cocky-awareness. _____________________________________ [Office ii] : Art After I finished the show I read a little almost the response it got. The show received a mostly positive response, all the same, I run across a lot of people criticizing its art. Personally, I didn't observe it whatsoever worse than a lot of anime I've seen. In fact, it did a few things better. I'll gladly accept simpler designs with enhanced animation over circuitous designs over literally merely still images (looking at y'all ever Shounen-action prove ever). And then this shows actual animation was fairly solid throughout. It was unclean, sure, only honestly that kind of added to the amuse of the whole affair. I liked that these characters didn't feel like a perfect-looking flawed bunch. They are a flawed-looking flawed-agglomeration, which fits. Whether this was done on purpose or not doesn't matter to me. I'1000 going to give Studio Deen the benefit of the doubtfulness here. Where this bear witness is also a fleck hitting-or-miss with is the character designs. We go a generic looking protagonist with Kazuma, who gets elevated by VA Jun Fukushima's vox work, which is often times deadpan and the highlight of the show, comedy wise. Other characters are also fairly uninspired looking. From the goddess, Aqua, and her "seen her earlier" look of "anime goddess". To a few of the locals having the whole "aforementioned-face" treatment. That being said, the evidence stands out with its blueprint of Darkness, the crusader tank of the group who'southward armor looks pretty corking. Every bit well equally the adorable Loli mage Megumin who quickly skyrocketed to my favorite character in the entire show. Her design is the shows nearly unique (and cute) besides every bit a pretty dainty operation by her VA, Rie Takahashi, who from the looks of it is newer to vocalism acting than the others in the show. Then the design is a mixed purse that's elevated by the entire way of the show. I'one thousand also a consummate sucker for fantasy, as its my favorite genre. And then everything from the quaint starting town to the grass-swept hills are things that I look at extremely fondly. ______________________________________________________________ [PART 3] : Sound I'll keep it short. The sound design in the show is OK. It seems to exist using the same furnishings equally most other shows in similar environments use. This is fine, to be honest. I'chiliad non expecting some crazy level of item in the sound design. Apart from the cool popping noises we become from Megumin's magic, and the magic itself looking pretty cool, its generally run-of-the-mill. The intro song is also fairly forgettable, to be honest. At that place's actually nil almost it that'due south memorable and information technology plays every bit every other Shounen opening does. Its loud, poppy, and features scenes of the characters looking at the camera or at each other. Where this prove REALLY excels in sound is the credits song, which is fucking. AMAZING. It might really exist my favorite song I've heard an anime produce, always. Its really really good and I institute myself constantly but listening to the entire credits rail, which is something I've never done earlier. Information technology honestly perfectly encapsulates the starting zone feel in MMO'due south. Information technology has this soothing, catchy, and memorable quality about information technology. It also reincorporates the shows championship in information technology. Its perfect and I wish i heard more of it as I believe that in the 2nd season when they inevitably get out the starting expanse, the vocal won't exist used. ______________________________________________________________ [Part 4] : Comedy Inevitably, lets talk about comedy. I touched a niggling on it in the first office, simply lets become into it fully. This show is a activeness-comedy testify which ways that the comedy is as, if not the biggest element in the show. Its also the first action-comedy anime I've seen. Even if a lot of the action Shounen that I've seen did accept one-act elements. This show is very "anime" with its one-act. I promise that doesn't sound offensive, but every single anime i've seen approaches one-act in a very similar way. For some reason, and I cannot for the life of me place information technology, maybe its cultural or something, anime has this necessity of making a joke TOO obvious. Information technology makes the joke correct in your face. Information technology suffocates you with it. Every reaction is commonly overdone and HUGE. This is dandy for some people, particularly people who love unsubtle slapstick. But for someone like me who finds one-act to be the funniest when its subtle, it falls flat more than times than one. Although this prove does practice some funny facial expressions likewise as cuts the music for some deadpan delivery, which really did get a few chuckles from me, it ofttimes feels every bit though its also deep in its "roots" to try and create anything subtle near any of its delivery. The merely actor who actually nails it with the concept of "subtle" is our protagonists VA. I don't retrieve I've ever called the protagonist of an anime its "all-time" part, but honestly, Kazuma wrung the most laughs from me. He plays the deadpan to the other characters crazy, which makes him a funny foil a lot. The evidence also has a tendency to drag its very obvious setups and jokes on. A panty-stealing scene is forgivable as it helps establish our protagonists knack for the 'steal' spell. But a bathing scene that goes from chuckle-worthy center-curlicue-inducing cliché to "delight this is just getting stupid" is the show cutting it a chip too long. To reiterate my point almost one-act fashion to a higher place in the showtime of the review. The author needs to realize that practiced watchers who sentinel a lot of television pin-point cliches from a mile away. Simply considering you lot point out certain cliches doesn't brand the cliches you do any more forgivable. If anything, it makes them LESS forgivable. ... In a show that's bases is its interactions between characters, i'g besides sad to say that these interactions get a bit stale. Especially the relationship between Kazuma and the goddess Aqua, which becomes repetitive by episode five. Thankfully romance is never actually introduced into this harem-esq prove equally that would spoil any amount of fun I was having. It just doesn't need shit similar that. Especially since these characters talking is so one-annotation a lot of the time. The merely scenes which honestly don't have semi-cliche and repetitive dialogue are the scenes with Kazuma and the best character, Megumin. Their scenes feel more natural and equally though they actually accept a friendship, instead of darting from "caring about these people " to "antisocial their guts", similar our protagonist does and then oft. This impacts the shows evolution. Which a comedy prove doesn't necessarily NEED to take, simply if it prompts non to accept development, it NEEDS to accept a solid base of characters. ... Shows like Rick and Morty, Community, Parks and Recreations, The Office, Arrested Development, all have character development and progression. While shows like Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia exercise not. So how does Always Sunny stay fresh? Well the base of operations characters that we were introduced to had a diverse amount of personality to them. They came stock with and so much personality that the prove tin can ring eleven, ten episode long seasons from them and it notwithstanding experience fresh. The show is still going onto its 12th also. And so where Konosuba should really focus next flavour is on making sure these characters don't experience as one note. Non every dialogue scene has to end with Aqua and Kazuma yelling at each other. Non every scene has to end with Darkness beingness awkwardly sexual. Its just non necessary since those parts of the characters are already established. Much similar the joke about the grasshopper named Steve has become old and overused, these characters interactions became somewhat of a elevate midway through this shows VERY short season! This is only emphasized by the messy introduction of a lot of background characters that make full the evidence. From Kazuma'south ii friends that get randomly introduced in episode nine to the lich Wiz, who all experience similar stories cut from the Light Novel that were notwithstanding included in the testify. Its more than than a chip messy. ______________________________________________________________ [Determination] : Then I don't find it THAT funny, I find the base concept generic, I think it misses a lot of opportunities to comment on MMO'due south, information technology cherry picks likewise often on what it wants to be meta nigh... why does this show take a half dozen.five/10? Which is past all means an above average score! Well, as I said early in the review, its likable. If I wasn't laughing at certain scenes and jokes, I had a little grin on my face up. Information technology was a fun little show to watch and I plant myself thankful that it just had ten episodes. These 10 episodes were a bit messy, much like the animation and dialogue, but they were endearing if anything. Everything from the montage in the third episode of Megumin and Kazuma blowing shit up to the way the shows piece-of-life feel is formatted with quests these characters need to complete. And these quests were the shows more entertaining aspects because I know many people including myself have had these experiences with players in an MMO before. The hilarious incompetence is something nosotros expect fondly dorsum on. I only wish this show focused more on that. Its most laugh-out-loud moments came from quests likewise as the events that came about because of those quests. Most specifically the unabridged cord between episode ii and three, where a quest involving behemothic frogs leads to some pretty damn funny results. These results are what build this shows undoubtedly large eye. I think information technology wrongfully thinks that its heart comes from emotional scenes that it sparingly includes in its run-time. No. Its heart comes from everything but that. Its the working for money. The questing and getting overrun past mobs. The loftier-level player encounter. Its all what makes MMO and so memorable. I hope the show doesn't lose that feel when the second flavor arrogance side by side yr. I hope it keeps that and doesn't instead go into its own more focused story. Have them move effectually doing higher level quests, gear up, and simply piece of work together. From that there could be aplenty time to develop these characters more. I become that their betoken is that their all just a dumb bunch of shlubs, just if they aren't going for an E'er Sunny in Philadelphia level of unlikable douchebaggery, so the author shouldn't be hesitant to give them a better human relationship with each other. I requite this show a lot of merit considering for everything that it does wrong or messily it makes up for in memory and heart. For every joke that falls apartment on its ass and every prolonged scene of awkward and not very well done fan-service, the shows more relaxed moments are what kept me watching in the finish. This brings me back to the end-credit song of the prove. That songs perfectly explains the feelings this show occasionally delivered. That'south what I want to see more of. Non another scene of Aqua existence bitchy or Darkness having giant jiggly tits. Allow the comedy come naturally through the menses of events that a lot of people can relate to. Let the breezy eye of the evidence take you abroad into the world.
