Going from an 8+ to a 7 seems worrying.

Also this seems to be an earlier work of the author so I hear his writing wasn't as mature back then.

People hate a little too much.

Its almost as good, and at times just as good IMO.

It just isnt quite as consistent. The setting and concept with the company/evil points is actually better than Konosuba I think.

The rest goes to Konosuba though, its a little tighter and the gags are a bit more consistent.

They are both great though and very funny with good characters. The humour is similar but not entirely the same. If Konosuba is an 8.5/10 then Combatants is an 8/10

Seeing the replies I might check it out, I enjoyed Konosuba so if it's anything similar it could peak my interest as well.

It's for more mature, or actually adult audience, mostly due to much heavier sexualised characters and MC being based and a perv.

I enjoyed it as much as the first season of Konosuba. It's shamelessly degenerate.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Like other people said it’s overly disliked for no reason other than people wanting exactly another Konosuba. It’s weaker at points and just as strong as some points. Konosuba made me laugh more but it’s not a big difference. For sure try it out just don’t expect a 10/10

I found it to be okay at best. I loved KonoSuba but comparing it to this is a little difficult.

This show feels more plot driven (despite a very flimsy plot) with comedy being thrown in at times. The jokes were inconsistent and hit-or-miss. For me, the jokes were mostly misses, but some were good. The characters also didn't seem to stand out much as in KonoSuba but there are certainly some similarities between characters from each show.

On the other hand KonoSuba is mostly comedy with a little plot thrown in every once in a while. The characters feel a bit more consistent and certainly were more memorable to me.

Overall, I'd say to give it a watch if you have the time and you might enjoy it but I wouldn't compare it to KonoSuba as, aside from the same author, the shows are very different.

This was written first before konosuba so if anything it should be how konosuba compares to this, it's not as good as konosuba because the writer is still figuring out how to write a great novel, six is just kazuma but more scummier and is more willing to do stuff kazuma wouldn't even think about, alice is the opposite of aqua as without alice six would not probably survive for very long, overall it's similar but i think konosuba is better

Fun little show that is not even close to the level on Konosuba. Combatants will be Dispatched is fine for a single viewing.

Enjoyable but not nearly as fun as Konosuba.

The characters were funny enough but unmemorable in design and personality.

The story needs more time.

Not as good an konosuba. The characters outside of the mc and Loli robot are just not as memorable or interesting. They feel more like archetypes.

The show is still pretty good but not as good

I was concerned at first because I didn’t find it as funny as Konosuba, but the more watched the more I’d enjoyed. Overall the show was good, but not better than Konosuba.

Al principio no sabía que eran del mismo autor, pero si se me hicieron similares, más fácil sentoin me recordó a konosuba, luego me di cuenta que fue una obra anterior a konosuba y por eso su método o fórmula del humor no estaba terminada, es bueno pero más de un 8 no pasa comparado con konosuba que es fácilmente un 10

Definitely a lot lower. It's rather apparent how rough the main cast is, compared to how much more refined their respective archetypes got when translated into Konosuba.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

It really depends your sense of humor. Konosuba was for me, way funnier then what this was. This show acted like it tried too hard to be funny, and using a very sexualized humor that can be funny at first, but once you've heard the same sort of joke a dozen times, it becomes less and less funny.

What I can say is, like Konosuba, the show is carried by the characters. If it wasn't for tem, the show would be much worse. Konosuba is far better yes, but this is OK.

This show felt like a lesser version of Konosuba. Characters and jokes were decent , even good sometimes, but personally I felt that there was something lacking

Maybe this is just me, I laughed a ton of times in here than in KonoSuba. KonoSuba was fully slice of life, so I cannot caught the comedy sometimes, so I little bored with it. But this one has a decent plot compare to KonoSuba and I laugh more often while watching this. Considering this is wrote before KonoSuba, of course there are some parts that are lacking compared to KonoSuba. But hey, this series has it's own style.

In terms of comedy it's nowhere near Konosuba but I liked the setting and the story/plots of this show. Characters are amusing too.

I think it could be equally good if it was adapted by an actual good studio and not staff. It's a very low-effort adaptation with cheap seiyus. It feels like out of all cast only Grimm's and Tora otoko's seiyus are trying to play the part.

The boobs and dick jokes are exactly what a teenager would look for in these kind of titles.

There's nothing "mature" about this show or Konosuba for the matter.

Every episode of Konosuba had a couple of (if not three or more) moments when you laughing or just thinking "ooh, nice!" to yourself.

Combatants has had maybe 3-4 moments like that over the 10 episodes I've watched so far. Don't feel any need to finish it at this point.

Problem is, if you watch it and expect it to be another KonoSuba, you're not gonna like it. Watch it as its own starting with 0 expectations and you might enjoy it.

For me, one level lower than Konosuba, well this show is more perverted and the jokes is decent enough.
It's enjoyable and good enough for me.

Sentouin is more comedy focused, it's like KonoSuba with the political incorrectness dial turned to high.
KonoSuba is a more balanced show, it doesn't go as far with the jokes, since the characters are more in the "good guy" side, but has a better handling of the daily life aspect that is very enjoyable to watch.

I laughed more with Sentouin but enjoyed more KonoSuba.

"I didn't like it", would be an understatement. I hated it would be an overstatement. But a 2/10 is the best it deserves.
