Welp. Another fantastic run of Konosuba. This follows up from the first season, so make sure to watch that first before watching this. It still has the beauty of the first show.
The story is pretty much the same from the first season, except they managed to progress in this season a bit more. If memory doesn't fail me (been following it after it aired) they've quite done a dent in the King Devil's Army.
Art is beautiful. Comfortable, pretty, funny and sometimes sexy. Nothing much to say here, as the show looks really good.
Sound and Soundtrack are simply fantastic, following up two new OP/ED songs that
...
I just can't stop listening to, they feel oddly comfortable when you hear them. And I usually skip over EDs but Konosuba feels so homely that you can't stop listening to it.(Also Machico is a great singer.)
Character wise, I'd say it doesn't have the greatest character development, but each character still feels the same from the first season, which means that they still feel different in their way of life but still magnetize as friends. Although I'd say that they don't progress much given the nature of Konosuba itself (if you've watched the first season you'll know this) so don't expect too much character development, but they do still pace their own emotions/feelings and ways of thought. In short, you just know how the characters are and sometimes you can even predict their behavior (I don't mean this a bad thing, it just adds to the comedic affect of the show).
Finally, I really enjoyed this show. It's a fantastic little world that feels homely everywhere you look. From the beautiful art to the enchanting OST, it hasn't changed from the first season and gave me laughs as the episodes went on. It just finished airing as of this writing, so all we can expect is #KonoSuba2018.
All in all, it's a great continuation. A worthy sequel and just more of the good stuff.

This is what SAO should've been. If you disliked it, then there's a high chance you'll like this instead. Same set of rules (video-game world, see No Game No Life type of world, though) but a much, much, much (repeat the word much at your will) better than SAO.
The story is pretty simple, though it doesn't try to be over complicated due to the nature of the show. It's just simple and to the point; there's no A, B or C into it. It's just... simple. It focuses mostly on comedic effect, though with some (I'd say very rare) serious or dramatic moments.
Art is
...
gorgeous. There's nothing much to it, but sometimes the occasional "ecchi" artstyle to it. Given the nature of the show, that "ecchi" artstyle might just improve on the satirical representations of the characters. That said, everything is pretty fluent and flows according to the situation at hand. Same can be said about the Music and Sound, they're in the right places and the music accurately represents the situation at hand. There's a few iconic pieces here and there (see: 30 Everyday Delusion A.K.A. Darkness' theme song). Voice Actors are on spot. Especially Aqua's (you'll see what I mean). Voice actors tend to be on spot in this anime and prepare to have a great experience in that regard.
Overall this is a very good anime with all its right stuff in the right places. It's a very funny anime and definitely overshadows its competitors in the 'game world'. Try it out for a spin, the show's only 10 episodes long and if you don't like it in the first few episodes (I'd say give it 3-4 episodes before the characters start to grow on you) then the show isn't really going to change and you can mostly forget about it.

Spoiler-free part, read at will. Overall, avoid at all costs.
Quite honestly, this is the only time a show has infuriated me so much to even write a poor review. The review is as follows:
This show starts promising, gives you an interesting storyline, decent graphics and music. However, in the span of three episodes it pulls a very poorly executed "Hancock" on you (kills off characters it tried to setup, thus causing shock and awe in the viewer) and leaves you hanging with nothing to do. The show pulls the rug under you and doesn't even try to have the characters reach anything. It uses a
...
vulnerable spot on the "viewer's heart" due to the situation and then kills a character that the viewer may like, but without the proper setup for it. Essentially, killing a perfectly good character without any good reason. Again, avoid at all costs.
--Here's the Spoiler filled part, do not read if you still want to watch the show---
Here's how it kills one character it tried to humanize and have Kirito (the protagonist) assure her of her perseverance:
-Kirito is warned of Sachi's disappearance;
-Kirito tracks Sachi;
-Finds her;
-Assures she'll be fine;
-Return home and go to bed;
-Sachi still can't sleep and shares a bed with Kirito, thus barely setting up a sweet spot within the viewer and the main character as well;
-Jump forward to a dungeon where they all die quickly in succession, except the main character;
-Seems like a daydream, nightmare or otherwise a bad thought;
-It isn't.
-Show jumps towards Kirito being all depressed and shit.
-Avoid at all costs.
That's it. No setup, just straight kill the character in a shitty sequence that in regular shows it'd seem like a bad dream. After making such an empty promise too, the main character then feels depressed after their untimely death, but the show barely spent any time at all instilling the seriousness of their death. Instead they were something of the sort "They died btw".
Did I say "Avoid at all costs"?
