Fantastic! funniest episode so far, loved how the teachers were looking back to see if everyone was impressed while they destroyed the village, and then they rebuilt it... in a day. Imagine if they knew about contractors.

The show only lacks explosion magic, still overall was a funny episode :D. The ending was cute as well.

Writing + voice performances are on point. Visual quality leaves a lot to be desired.  I'll echo what I said in the ep. 1 thread: you'd think that a popular franchise would have higher production values, but apparently not? 🤷‍♂️

Why did the adults turn their gazes towards the girls while using the lightsaber??
They just wanted to look good so they were checking if the girls are watching them or not.

Chomusuke, the boob-loving cat, makes its appearance in the prequel.

Lol the Crimson Demons went bonkers this episode. 

The ED is cute.

Hate to say it, but this show is just not working for me.  Even though Megumin is a rather beloved character, her bit isn't really the funniest part of konosuba... thus I think why the humor in this show feels kind of flat.  

Nice to see chomusuke though…. Cute cats are always a plus. 
>^____^<
I agree with this. It’s like watching pirates of carabbiean 4 and 5 megumin just doesn’t work great as a lead, she is best suited for a supporting character like in the main story line. 

This show is falling flat for me.

Yunyun is really innocent in this episode and I find that side of her adorable. I also like Megumin's ambition on having to obtain explosion magic someday and have Chomusuke be brought to the classroom.

Way better than the regular KonoSuba. I couldn't stop laughing from beginning to end, and I'm already thirsty for more episodes. Megumin best girl!

Thanks, person who gave me this on another site a long time ago, lol.

I expected nothing from konosubarashii and megumin...seeing her watch all that super sick magic being done in front of her just to remind herself what's really driving her magic interests was just lovely. And to finally see how the cat from the parent story got introduced is also dope as well as the excuse she gave to keep it in the class lmfao. This 2nd episode was calm. Hope we see her soon do an explosssiiiiiiooooonnnnnn!!!!!!!

Lol so that's how she got the cat... and the adults are more dangerous than the monsters xD
Though I still think this series is somewhat weird so far, because who genuinely care about the world building and backstory when it's supposed to be a parody mocking isekai shows that do that, I mean with Megumin alone it's not bad but it's only 10% of the original humor of Konosuba :(

Never EVER spare a rabbit, especially one with a horn. You never know when they will multiply and bite your ass off.

Nice to get a Chomuusuke origin story as well.

Ok, I’m a little confused.
Correct me if I’m wrong. It has been forever since I’ve seen konosuba but I thought that Megumin got the cat when she was with Subaru? I could just be remembering wrong but it has been a while

It was a cool episode, maybe a normal one like a 6'5/10, I liked the absurd humor of this chapter, plus the animation was once again one of the strong points of the anime.

Yeah it's very different from Konosuba. Not that it has to, but since it's a spinoff of Konosuba, I guess people (including me) expect it to be at least similar. 

Arue is the only interesting side character here. Dodonko and Funifura and the rest are just... there. Megumin feels like a different character with all the constant screaming and screeching and whatnot. I guess you can say she gets a character development later on and becomes the Megumin we know in Konosuba, but I'm not buying that. 

Please be funny please be funny  please be funny  please be funny  please be funny  please be funny  please be funny.

Lol, what a fun episode. The school staff, and those red crimson guys literally destroyed half the village. Also, the way they were showing off to the students their sheer amount of power though is funny lol.

Funny ass episode I loved when the gargoyle popped up all of them had wide eyes except for Arue she had no reaction whatsoever but when they encountered the stalker guy she was beyond disgusted😭😭😭

The adults liking back to see if ppl were watching them casts spells and destroying the village more than the gargoyle had me in straight tears😭😭😭😭😹😹😹😭😭😭

The ending caught off guard bc I wasn’t expecting Megumin’s VA and Yunyun’s VA to sing the ED song she sang the ending for Tomo-Chan as well so that’s pretty cool she has such a nice singing voice to me

With any other anime, the Megumin show would be a solid B+. But as a follow up to Konosuba it falls flat. The jokes don't land, the animation is stock standard, and the music, even the music isn't as good! 6/10. I'm not going to quit watching, but I am certainly going to watch the masterpiece that is Konosuba after this.

So far Megumin is "acting" like a chuuni, but out of getting what she wants, she is not a real chuuni like in the main series, so I guess the series will be about her becoming a real chuuni once she learns the explosion magic.

Also the show keeps the KonoSuba tradition of having a very cute ending, nice.
