Writing "intelligent" characters and plots of two "geniuses" trying to unmask each other requires the author to have a certain amount of cleverness so as not to seem forced, full of "Deus ex machina" and still understandable. That's not exactly how things happen here.
Everyone is a bit stupid, things don't make sense 90% of the time, the visuals are a bit lame, BUT I was actually entertained for most of the episodes, so it was worth the experience.

Oh god, this is horrible. Without having any apparent intention of doing anything interesting or genuinely fun, this season of KonoSuba doesn't do much honor to the best season (The second). The film had already lowered my expectations A LOT, so in the end it was easier to accept this car accident.

Probably one of the biggest depreciations an anime has ever had after a season. Perhaps for me, one of the main reasons that Re:Zero's plot was very attractive was a certain urgent situation. Since the first season, the structure of the arcs worked like complicated puzzles that Subaru needed to solve while suffering horrors beyond human understanding and, every now and then, episodes of breathing and rest.
So, it is with great regret that I say that this season was wrong in everything I could see. A plot that despite shouting urgency, is not treated as such by the characters or the plot. All the fights, ... |
