A sequel anime for Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) was announced following the screening of the Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 3: Bonus Stage (KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! 3 OVA) on Friday.

The two-episode Bonus Stage original video anime began a two-week limited screening in Japan on Friday (pictured right). Kadokawa will release the OVA on home video on April 25.

The first two anime seasons produced by Studio Deen aired in Winter 2016 and 2017, each running for ten episodes. The ninth and 12th light novel volumes each bundled an original video anime episode in June 2016 and July 2017.

The Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo!: Kurenai Densetsu (Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! - Legend of Crimson) anime movie by J.C.Staff premiered in Japan in August 2019, adapting the fifth volume.

The third and latest season, produced by animation studio Drive, aired in 11 episodes in Spring 2024. Crunchyroll simulcast the anime with multiple subtitles and dubs.

The anime series, also known by its short title Konosuba, adapts Natsume Akatsuki's comedy fantasy light novel, which he originally penned on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website from December 2012 to October 2013. Kadokawa began printing the title under its Sneaker Bunko label that month, featuring illustrations by Kurone Mishima (Rokudenashi Majutsu Koushi to Akashic Records). The light novel ended with the 17th volume in May 2020. Konosuba has a cumulative 10 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Masahito Watari began drawing a manga adaptation in Monthly Dragon Age in September 2014. Kadokawa published the 20th volume in December 2024.

So, Konosuba refuses to die? Great, I didn't even notice how this anime became incredibly nostalgic and warm for me.

Yes! Very happy about this, as someone who has rewatched the first 2 seasons of KonoSuba multiple times. Hoping this gets a complete adaptation some day, and at this rate, it seems very likely that it'll happen.

I mean, this is one of those shows you know they will keep giving new seasons until they adapt the whole story.
