The Konosuba Channel from Isekai Museum livestream event announced a new anime project for Natsume Akatsuki's Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) light novel on Sunday. The event also revealed a key visual (pictured above).

Akatsuki originally penned the adventure comedy light novel, abbreviated as Konosuba, on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website from December 2012 to October 2013. Kadokawa began printing the novel with illustrations by Kurone Mishima through its Sneaker Bunko label the month the web novel ended. The light novel ended with its 17th volume on May 1 last year.

Studio Deen produced the first two television anime with ten episodes each during Winter 2016 and 2017. J.C.Staff produced an anime movie that premiered in Japan in August 2019. The ninth and 12th volumes also included two original video anime.

Crunchyroll and Discotek Media licensed both anime seasons for streaming and home video releases, respectively.

Kinda hyped for this, but also scared. The poster looks like it has a different art style compared to the other movie and seasons, which is a little minus for me, since this one looks kinda bland.
I hope the story is good and funny tho and the art team doesn't mess it up and makes it as good as the seasons and movie.

This was announced just a couple days after I watched the movie, so that was good timing.

This thread is just arguing so I’ll just throw this in and say I’m buzzing for the new project, can’t wait


nah the first two pages and the 1st half of page 3 are just fine. it was just one 'downer' coming into the thread and posting a 'gripe'. then myself and another commenter calling him/her out for 'peeing in the pool' so to speak. :D

i'm also quite hopeful about the new project! but i am worried it'll be yet another Konosuba movie. :((

movies are all fine and dandy! but ONLY if like 'Burn The Witch' they get online fast. 'BTW' was on Crunchyroll the day OF the Japanese theatrical release! but movies suck a ton if they're like 'How To Raise A Boring Girlfriend: The Movie' AKA 'Saenai Heroine no Sodatekata Fine'. that one came out in Japanese theaters Oct. 26, 2019. but the DVD/BR wasn't released till Sept. 23, 2020. that kind of 'disk release delay' is one of the reasons why i'm not happy with 'SAO: Progressive' move to the theaters instead of a TV series.

for 'international consumers of anime content' like myself... movies suck... :> hehahah! :> we either get some brave soul willing to risk arrest and jail-time in Japan for a 'cam-rip' he/she made in the theater itself... and yes the 1st 'online file' of the Konosuba Movie i TRIED watching was a 'cam-rip'. but the person 'taping it' in the Japanese theater had very very VERY poor camera handling skills. then the fansubber, maybe the same person who taped it... that i dunno... did a HORRID job on the subs. i guess the audio quality of the cam-rip was too low for the fansubber to hear everything. because 10 minutes into the movie (after the start credits) there wasn't even 10 lines of subs! sooo i quit watching that version. or we get the other version possible internationally; somebody cracks a DVD/BR after it is sold in stores.

Yes you did, quoting my post proves it but also by your fallacious claims of accusing me being a "dick" because unlike everyone else in this thread, I'm the only one that doesn't like the idea of Konosuba getting a sequel and that alone triggered the defense mechanism that made you quote me and write all that nonsense to combat it. Ironically enough, you're the one who comes across as a dick but you know that already.

If that's your idea of someone being toxic, I can't imagine what real toxic would be like since your view on it is limited to trivial things like "disagreeing with someone". Still wondering where this "roast" part comes from. I wasn't proving to people that Konosuba is bad and was consequently quoting everyone as a means of converting them to my side while shitting on the series. If you intended it to support your non-existent arguments, grats, you failed.

>Can't they just get a life and stop making us feel stupid for liking an anime and leave us alone

Playing the innocent card at its finest, it's always nice to see someone simultaneously cry for nothing and make it look like you have been beaten to death while begging for mercy. It surely adds even more depth to your fake persona.


ok after reading you two going back and forth i'm mildly curious as to... what in hell was the point of your first post?

"the stuff i don't like" i guess that could be a vague definition of a 'group'. perhaps a group of shows you don't care for, "get a plethora of new entries" ookay, interesting word choice, not many folks whipping out plethora recently. so a group of shows you don't care for getting a large or excessive amount of something. that something being new entries.

so if you stretch the logic out even further, each show would get 1 entry. possibly 2 if there's a 2nd cour already planned/announced. maybe an entry for OVAs. perhaps a mini-anime/chibi/comedy shorts etc. but on average i find it is one show, one entry. not exactly a plethora when there's just a one for one correlation; or even a one for two correlation.

i generally avoid as much as humanly possible "stuff i don't like". i don't like pain, or liver, or bell peppers, or insanely spicy food. so i don't purposefully walk into a resturaunt that will burn the crap outta my mouth, make my guts boil will all their spices, and order a liver and bell pepper stir fry with an extra large super-sized portion.

if you don't like 'KonoSuba' and saw the announcement this franchise had a new project in production; why did you walk into this discussion in the first place? why not shrug, say to yourself 'ah crap. not another one.' and then go about your merry way?

i personally don't care for 'Attack on Titan'. i've never watched an episode ever. i find it absolutely a non-interest of mine. i've seen trailers now and again and just did what i said before, shrugged and said to myself 'ah crap. not another season.' i don't walk into an AOT discussion and gripe about how i don't like it, and how i don't like how it keeps getting new seasons.

there's an old saying that perhaps you could take to heart, "Don't Shit In Other People's Back Yards." :D usually attributed to letting your dog crap on somebody else's property... but i bet you can see you're the dog doing the dumping. :D

I like my donkey analogy more tbh :D but i totally agree with you. I try to be exactly like that too cause experience showed me that there's no reason to be negative. If i don't like something then i just won't watch it instead of going to a thread of discussion and poop in other people's party.
You should really give Aot a try though if you haven't even watched one episode of it. It's totally worth it.
peace :)

This is a well aniticipated anime and everyone here is in fact hyped for it and i didn't invalidate your opinion i just called you out for being a dick. I never said you can't have an opinion but you were trying to roast an anime for practically no reason and i called you out for it and apparently you're the one who can't handle me calling you out. I don't really care about looking good either at least i don't look like an asshole that feels the need to be toxic for no reason.
( and yes saying "How come always the stuff I don't like get a plethora of new entries" is in fact being a dick btw. Don't pretend like you weren't trying to roast konosuba and just call it your "opinion" so that no one has the right to call you out for it )

Playing the innocent card at its finest, it's always nice to see someone simultaneously cry for nothing and make it look like you have been beaten to death while begging for mercy. It surely adds even more depth to your fake persona.

Honestly i'm not gonna answer to whatever you say after this cause talking to you is making me feel like i'm talking to a donkey that just won't stop kicking and tries to bring me down to its level and get me to kick him and beat me in its level.
It seems to me like you're just looking for a fight and a roast so how about you go find someone in the street and punch them in the face ( gotta warn you though unlike here when you tell someone "you have been beaten to death while begging for mercy" after they call you a dick for being a dick they'll probably kick your ass to death and you won't have the safety of not being face to face with them to protect you )
The only one's that saying i've " failed " or i've been beaten to death which is ridiculous to its core is you and again this supports my argument of you being a toxic 13 year old or and idiot that's just looking for a fight.
And for the last time i'll tell you what happened as simply as i possibly can so your big brain can understand it.
You said something about a show and whether it was just " your opinion " or you trying to be an asshole for no reason ( which doesn't really matter which one it was in fact it's both as i said earlier a thousand times ) i just said that you are being and asshole. If you can't even handle that then let me oversimplify it even further. What you did is like walking up to a person and telling them " ugh you look fucking ugly, i don't like your face " and then call it your opinion and tell people that they can't answer you back but in fact whether that's your opinion or not they can answer you back and tell you that you're being an asshole for no reason. You know what the funny part is? I don't even like Konosuba that much. I like the humour but that's about it. I wasn't offended by your " negative comment " or the fact that your comment is the only negative one here as you keep letting everyone know. I just saw a guy being a dick and i called you out. That's it. There's no more trying to look cool or telling the other person that they don't look cool or playing cards or .... it's just as simple as that. You're the one that's living in their tiny bubble of trying to look cool and keeps telling me that i don't cause my intention wasn't trying to act cool or toxic like you are.
Have a nice day :) and i really hope the next person that gets within 5 feet of you has enough patience to not hit you in the face for the first thing that comes out of you mouth which is probably gonna be an insult or a something you consider a " roast ".

If I'm not wrong,that was back in 2017, so you remember it right, but it's just really old,and we did get a movie after that ,so...


i really could have sworn it was after the movie hit theaters and the public was muttering VERY loudly and he Tweeted that sorta-kinda as a response to folks on his feed that were specifically asking him if he knew what was going on.

but like i've said before in this part of the discussion, i don't remember alot of the specific details. just a general and vague recollection. heck! if you can find his Tweet, or whatever it was, go ahead and stick it up here! :D that'll fix the whole discussion. :D :D

i don't use the Twitter and social media stuff much since i needed it in 2015 to get in touch with my mom's 'online friends' when she passed. other than checking my Facebook once every 2 or 3 weeks or a buddy of mine in Austria who's a fellow otaku and i discuss anime/games etc. on FB Messenger.


Actually I don't use twitter either, the reason I know this is because I saw a video of a channel called tokyosaurus which came out in 2017 and in that they discussed a tweet of the author that was extremely similar to what you described,but now...,idk

At any rate, we're getting more konosuba and that's confirmed and that makes me happy(really hope it's S3,tho)

Why are you here then? you're obviously free to have an opinion but the fact that you feel the need to say that you don't like this anime when everyone here is so hyped for it is crazy to me. just go post something on an anime you do like and hope you won't find dicks like yourself talking shit about that anime.


slow clap... burn!... slow clap... good one, definitely a good one there WM! get that Fruscio person some aloe vera...

Same man. i'm an Otaku too that just wants to watch anime without hate but these few toxic people on MAL just can't stop spreading their hate. Saying that you don't like and anime is one thing but trying to roast it and ruin it for everyone else is another. Like why can't they just get a life and stop making us feel stupid for liking an anime and leave us alone....

Interesting how you say I'm entitled to have an opinion but invalidate it right away because it's negative. Especially given that my comment was posted after one positive response where the "everyone here is so hyped" wasn't a thing. It wouldn't have mattered much since I would've done the same even after dozens of posts, but still, pull yourself together, you don't look good.

It doesn't matter how many people were hyped at the time.
