I knew that World of Konosuba has alive vegetables, like cabbage in first season. Now I have seen alive potatoes, but even tulips are alive!


It seems in World of Konosuba crayfish is always red be it alive or cooked, opposite to dark green in our World:


This face of Yunyun, when everyone practiced their chuunibyou speech and poses is hilarious:


I heard many times: "Do you want bath? Dinner? Or me?" 
But with Cecily I heard new version: "Would you like to take a bath? Or take me? Or convert to Axis sect?"


It was hilarious when Megumin destroyed gargoyles and Komekko shouted: "Aaa, older sister erased-blew up all chicken meat!" XD

Also now I know who was behind these recruit schemes with dropped apples and being assault in Arcanletia in season 2. Megumin, damn it! XD

It was nice to hear voices and see Aqua, Kazuma, and Darkness. And end of this spin-off nicely connected to the start of season 1.

In over-all this spin-off is decent. Not good as 1st and 2nd seasons, but still was enjoyable. I hope to see Cecily in season 3, this wacko Axis priest is hilarious XD

What are your thoughts?

It was a good spin-off IMO. Not seeing the other three idiots made me realize how much I missed them and their shenanigans.

I was a great spin-off. We got some good background for KonoSuba world, we meet characters like Megumin and Yunyun better, and even new fun additions (like Cecily).

Also, unlike most spin-off, it won't feel like a filler (that woman who taught Explosion Magic to Megumin looks familiar 🤔).

It was good... Had my hopes up cause well, konosuba is one of my favorite shows(and ik s3 is freaking hilarous as well). This spinoff too, had it's moments but it wasn't anything extraordinary.

the first few episodes were kinda meh imo. but then at the later episodes the jokes kinda made me chuckle a little.

overall not bad, but ofc the main series is still way better.

The first few episodes regarding Megumins background and studies were more slice of life and I was really frustrated because it felt really boring amd I was worried that the whole season would be like that. But since like ep. 5 or 6 the quality went up a notch and the good ol' whacky Konosuba vibe and humor were back so I enjoyed the second half of the season much more.

Also those few fan service moments featuring glimpses of the gang in the last few episodes were really nice. That's when it hit me how much I miss them (mainly Aquas world series level nagging, A. Sora is my fave VA).

good but of world building and did a ton of character development for Megu and YunYun. also I assume Chomusukes past will play a bigger part coming forward.

was a good addition imo. now back to the main cast please.

I think it added a bit to Megumins character, but it was far from necessary. The show is good for the party, not the individuals.

Megumin herself is literally a one-note character so of course, she could not carry the show.

I dont expect anyone to care about a "origin story" about Megumin when the origin that made people like her was already done in season 1 of Konosuba.

how can anyone say this was good, this was straight awful. It basically destroyed konosuba's reputation and konosuba went from almost mid 8ds to now low 7s. If you compare this to other ln spinoffs, you are going to realize how bad this is. This show was practically filler, with backstory no one could careless about. Jokes were just repackaged from the original, and the cameos were done poorly. The villain got one shotted.
This was the third most anticipated show of the season and it dropped out of top 10 on trending and corner by week 3.

You are joking. Practically nothing happen all season, mediocre jokes. All the positive reviews are straight up shills.
This spinoff failed hard. It had one of the worst mal drops for an acclaimed ln series ever. Even the ln readers straight up admit this ln spinoff was vad.

To each his/her own. It makes no difference what someone thinks. What matters are people who vote with their money.
It would be interesting to know how much it earned after 1 year at least and compare it to the budget.

As someone who loved Konosuba s1, 2, and the movie I despised the spinoff to my surprise. Kazuma really sets Konosuba up as a very interesting show. Megumin does not have the strength or unique nature to carry the lead role into something funny. The masochist Darkness and the ego of Aqua might have made for a better spinoff. That is just my opinion though.

As you said, I thought it was decent, but not as good as the 2 seasons of the show.
If they follow the same pattern as previous seasons (adapting 2 books per season), we will not see Cecily in season 3 (she appears in the 8th book, the 3rd season would adapt 6th and 7th books).

I doubt that, because end of spin-off nicely connected to first season, so this leaves no room for its continuation. Maybe a different spin-off. But so far only thing listed on MAL and AniList is 3rd season of original Konosuba, which is planned for somewhere in 2024.

The one possibility we get to see her in season 3 is if instead of the usual 10 episodes we get 12 or 13 of them, in which case they could decide to adapt three books (6th, 7th and 8th which is the one with Cecily).
Of course we could also get a season 4 one day, who knows :)

Megumin crashed pretty hard in waifu polls after the spinoff. It is a good thing she is still in the rest of the series. But a lot of people do get carried when one of the anime girls express interest into the MC like Rem, Miku, Nino, etc.

I though that the spin off was alright, but just wasn’t Konosuba. Konosuba needs Kazuma as the MC to feel like Konsuba, without him, it just want funny as he is the straight man of the group.

I’m hoping S3 will be a lot better, seeing as the S1 and S2 director is returning for it along with the spin-off director.
