Are you a fan of isekai? Maybe you like Re:Zero, or Tanya the Evil? Perhaps you remembered how funny Konosuba could be, and thought a comedy show with some of the same characters could be funny?

If so, stay far away. This show is bad.

I won't say that it doesn't have any redeeming qualities. The cast of Konosuba is still amusing to watch, albeit much less so than in their own show. And if you're a fan of Re:Zero, there are a few scenes sprinkled here and there that you might like. The vocalists for each respective show give comparable performances to their original ... series, which is quite solid for the most part. There were even three or four jokes that actually utilized comparisons between the four different series that had some degree of comedic value!

But personally, a handful of decent scenes(most of which were done MUCH better in their respective anime) are not enough to justify two hours of staring at low budget chibi characters being move-tooled across the screen with the occasional magic circle in the background.

As for the isekais chosen, I have absolutely no idea why anyone thought it would be a good idea to include Tanya in this. Overlord was also a terrible choice because half of its characters are obnoxious and the other half are bland, but at least its setting is similar enough to Konosuba and Re:Zero that I can understand it's inclusion.

I want to make my thoughts clear, so I'll repeat myself: the ONLY thing this show really has going for it is that it happened to involve characters from shows that are actually good, and one of those shows happened to be a great comedy. That is the sole reason my rating for this series is a 4, as opposed to a 2.

The main takeaway I got from the first season was a question: what were they thinking?
