So... are they cutting the lewdness from Konosuba? No boob slap on Yunyun yet, 0 jiggle in Luna's boobs.

God bless Isaac Newton and Gravity.
It seems that these remaining chapters will be everything from the beginning of Konosuba but from Megumin's perspective, and perhaps in the last one they will end up meeting face to face and it will be a kind of "To be continued", without a doubt it is quite enjoyable this format, I feel it is very refreshing.

Really seems like the show has run out of plot is padding for time with cameos from better characters. I have a bad feeling about Konosuba season 3.

Having kazu aqua and dusty in the background reminded me how incomplete megumin really is.

Behold of my awesomeness~

It's nice to get the cameos from the rest of the main cast. It makes the world feel more alive knowing that they're doing their thing

On top of the fact Yunyun continues to be precious. Protect Yunyun at all costs 🙏

The new show has been kinda boring with only Megumin and Yunyun tbh so it was nice to see the rest of the gang. Really looking forward to season 3 of the main series.

Megumin trying to find her dream team, only to come to terms with her reality was depressing. At least everyone was kind about it to her, but yh i feel like you knows it rough when she just said it straight to their faces that she only knows one move.

Ah, can't help but feel bad for YunYun, she's left the safety of her home and to now experience the outside world and its horrors. Megumin trying her best to continue being a good friend by, on one hand, letting her be and on the other protecting her from the horrors.

Love how we start to come closer to the main Konosuba story, we start to see more and more appearances of Kazuma and Aqua. I mean it makes sense, but honestly, early arc Kazuma and Aqua duo banter was the best, it was just the most nonsensical and funniest shit and I'm glad we got to see a bit more of it.

"Has the entire guild decided to cancel me?" Holy fuck the amount of whiplash i got from this single comment was crazy. Just the thought that the author decided to add this line that the view would understand, but in the world of Konosuba, probably has 0 fucking meaning or value, cracks me up. If cancelling people was a thing in their world, bro Kazuma would be DONE. Like 5 different people could probably write a twitlog about him in the first season alone.

So we're finally getting cameos from the original series cast.

Yunyun is the best, poor girl. While Megumin can't get anywhere because she can only cast one ultra-powerful spell once a day and no intermediate level magic, nobody cares about Yunyun being able to cast it and instead she only finds the village perverts ;_; .

It's not yet like the original, but this episode got closer.

Sometimes I think KonoSuba reflects real life, just a little, mostly a funny parody of it: graduating from school with some qualification and struggling to find a job that uses it, and struggling to find friends to share accommodation with.
I'm probably going to rewatch Konosuba to see just how well the stories line up.

At this point, majority of people agree this show is pointless with a lackluster plot and just relying on cameos. Waste of resources for them to greenlit this since interest in konosuba kind of died with this show itself. Had they just went with season 3 they would get more people invested into the franchise. This is a lesson for production committees to careful manage resources and not waste people's time with crap like this. This spinoff should have been cancelled

I like how at this point, Aqua and Kazuma are close, yet so far lol.

I'm sure we would all love to accept Yunyun's quest lmao, too bad we can't xD

And yooo, it's Darkness. Idk why but I find it so cool to see the crew again, although separated.

Wow Yunyun accepted that loss even tho it shouldn't count lol.

Lol the guild is canceling Megumin.

Never ending plan to watch list...

And we start the episode with audio cameo of Kazuma and Aqua in a stable, LOL

(still not a full appearance tho, since this is still the part where Kazuma haven't actually met with Megumin yet)

(which I mentioned before, the end of this series will most likely be the part when Kazuma meets up with Megu in the Main series)

(cause at which point, the series will just be a retelling of the Main series) (I don't even know what a Megu PoV of main series would be like, lol, staring at the ceiling most times?)

We do see Darkness tho... LOL

.

Tho I do wonder at what point... does Megu and Yunyun actually go separate ways.

Since we know after Megu joins Kazuma's party, the party didn't meet up with Yunyun til quite a while later.

.

Hehe... "Intelligence too low" Yup, that's our useless Goddess alright, we love her even if she's broken. LOL

And this episode is Megu and Yunyun trying to find a party, Megu's issue is obvious, but apparently Yunyun is cause she thinks she's too young... pretty sure being young isn't a issue, LOL

Meanwhile everyone tries to avoid being partied with Megu, LOL.

And then Yunyun gets "hit on" by some random old dudes... that wants Yunyun to go on a SUS date... not only that, another one wants Yunyun to call him "daddy"... huh..

I think instead of people not wanting Yunyun as a mage in their party. They wants Yunyun for a different purposes. But hey, at least Yunyun didn't actually end up going with any of them. (else Yunyun's story would turn into a certain genre)

You haven't read the LN, therefore is unable to claim if it's pointless or not. And no, it's not only pointless, but it's essential for some of the best parts of the future of the franchise.

Yunyun is too precious 😭 and the advert she put up in the guildhall was really sweet. Glad they didn't go anywhere with the "sugar daddy" stuff beyond jokes/references.

Feel like Yunyun (& then Chomusuke) must be everyone's favourite characters by now.

hearing the other main charas in the background was funny

we all know how it went, but seeing the 2 girls having so much trouble to get their parties hurts my heart

there were plenty of funny faces this episode, but my favorite was probably when Megumin did the Aqua's crying face at the start lol

The audio at the beginning with Kazuma and Aqua is a good tie-in to the original series. xD Since I saw the original one recently, it was nice to revisit that funny scene (only through audio though).

Megumin's pouty face is cute.
Funny to hear Megumi get one-upped by Aqua when registering for the adventurer card.

Aww, Yunyun's recruitment poster was wholesome. I'd definitely join her team. 

Dang, Megumin could've gotten that money from Darkness. Missed opportunity.

I had a ln reader straight up just tell me it is bad. Plus they almost adapted the whole thing and barely anything interesting happened. Plz elaborate which parts point to the best part of the franchise. The only reason why people are defending this is because 2016/17 people were calling suba the best anime/ln ever made. Based on the polls of this season, that hasn't aged well since it dropped out of top 10 for both.

LN reader told you what is bad, the spinoff? It's way below the main series and the weakest of all the other spinoffs, though it isn't bad. I said it is essential for the future of the series, especially for one of the best moments in the LN, which is, the volume that is mostly about it is a fan favorite, most people either rank it as their favorite or at least top 3. It shouldn't be difficult for anyone paying a little of attention to figure this out: One of Megumin's dream is to meet up with the Evil Goddess (Wolbach, who also happens to be the other half of her cat) who taught her Explosion to show her the spell she learned, her other dream is to kill the Demon King and take his place, however during S2 we see Wolbach is friends with Hans, a General of the Demon King whose Megumin killed.

If you can't realize how drastically relevant all of this is for the future of the main series, then the issue is with you.

Retroactive dreaming of a future event isn't exactly clever foreshadowing.

Truth is if a spinoff this incohesive came from another ln series other than this tensura, re zero it will get ripped to shreds.

This show is pointless yet got a full cour and people positive review bombing this have extreme bias it so obvious.

Lmao, I've just explained to you why rather than pointless, it's extremely important for the future of the franchise, address my arguments ( you can't since you haven't read the LN and has no idea what you're talking about ) before claiming again it's pointless.

This is the first time we get to see Kazuma, Aqua, and Lalatina Dustiness Ford in this series. It’s interesting to see some of the extra shenanigans that the three were up to prior to forming a party together with Megumin.

Megumin, it’s your own fault that no one wants to be apart of a party with you. You’re a one trick pony that’s only useful in specific scenarios and even then, you’re one shot a day. Yunyun, I’m not sure what’s up with her to be honest.

Given the preview, Megumin getting constantly rejected doesn’t surprise me. But, what are Yunyun and Megumin going to do to avoid sleeping in the stables?

I don't get why people were complaining about this series. Acting like the main KonoSuba was a masterpiece in the first place. Is it really impossible to sit back and enjoy something for what it is?
