Konosuba might come off as a SAO clone. Its not.
If SAO is the father, this anime is like the drunk uncle of the family.

The comedy is over 9000! I watched it about 5-6 times, all of it, start to finish.
Its not a waste of your time. It will make you laugh... a lot.
And you will like the characters... a lot.
Why? Because it makes fun of itself and the genre.

CHARACTER SPOILERS!
The characters make this anime what it is.
You have an MC Thief that is always broke, a Goddess that is getting wasted all the time, a psycho Mage that only wants to explode things and ... a masochistic Paladin that throws herself in harm's way to be abused.

If that isn't the dream team I don't know what is.

And that is what separates this anime from SAO or any of its clones. Its 1% serious plot, 80% comedy and 19% ecchi.

And it really works!
This is one of the very rare anime that gets all 10s from me.
And I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT TO ANYONE THAT WANTS A GOOD LAUGH, A WELL ROUNDED STORY AND TRULY LIKABLE CHARACTERS!

Its another harem that justifies its existence solely based upon the male MC always saving the day with pretty girls everywhere loving the shit out of him. It also has magic in it. But even though its the "magical world" there are other anime that do magic better. Here it feels like they didn't want to go with knights or guns so they put magic in it. Its okay.

The beginning is quite good though, unexpected and funny. Even if you dislike harem anime, there is a decent comedy and enjoyment in this. Its nothing new but its not as bad.

The characters are well rounded up, ... classical stereotypes of girls and a seemingly incompetent MC... he isn't that.. he just lazy and unmotivated.. unless its a save the day situation in which everyone in the world disappears and he is the only one that can do it.

The art is awesome so that's gonna carry it if nothing else.

I'd recommend it for any lazy afternoon/night. You can easily blaze through all of it, its all good.

Do you like books by one of these authors: Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault, William Shakespeare, George Orwell, Jules Verne, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jonathan Swift, Philip K. Dick, Marquis de Sade, Kenzaburou Oe, Junichirou Tanizaki, Shuuji Terayama ?
- If yes, then you might like this anime

Its set in a orwellian state in the making, where the technology isn't fully developed but society is restructured towards a flawless, perfect and autonomous system that manages humanity. Well in this case, it's only Japan that has this system and the anime is based around the pros and cons of living in such a system. And I think they portray ... it very well

If you don't believe in any of this and find this as a conspiracy at best, you might enjoy the detective work because if it wasn't for the motif of a cybord society, then you'd think you're watching an anime CSI or something.

But I feel this one isn't for everyone. I'd admire anyone willing to sit down and watch it all, but at some point you will feel disgusted or at least, concerned with what are you watching.

The friend who recommended this said this was like death note. Yes, you will recognize some parts of it as death note, but this is nothing like death note. The antagonists aren't trying to become gods but rather force people in a society to see the truth of it through serial killings, chaos and brutal violence.

A warning to those who aren't really into horrors or disturbing images. This has all of it, in truckloads. Some scenes are stuck with me even now... you will see some fucked up shit and if you decide to quit watching, I wouldn't blame you... I wanted to stop past episode 7-8.

But if you bolster through, I feel this anime will benefit you. It might inspire you to reflect on how our society is and why this anime was made. We can only make assumptions, but I feel this is a solid replica of an Orwell society in the making. I believe in many so called "conspiracies" and if you do as well, this will confirm many things about our society as well.

Sound and art is great though. Loved the first opening theme (second is kind of meh IMO)

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone, but its good.
Watch it at your own peril!

This is basically Dragonball with vampires. No, enough said.

The important parts of that I got from this anime is: it references dragonball alot for shits and giggles. No other reason. Yes it does look good and yes its funny, but maybe dragonball references aren't funny to you.

The characters aren't unique at all, its the same stereotypes you see in literally any anime. The story is the interesting part IMO. It ties magic and technology with vampires, werewolves with a ton of fighting. Not bad at all.

There is subtle romance and ecchi but other than huge oppai (which are a staple of ANY anime these days ... to get more sales) on the main girl character along with her clueless klutz like attitude. So instead of just the MC, now you have two idiots as main characters. I wish more anime were like this.

Overall this is a light hearted anime. It has very cool and some serious moments, but its slap-happy type of fun.

I recommend it! Especially if you like dragonball. Lol

I really wanted to like this anime. Sadly, the more I watched of it, the less I got into it until the final episode where I was happy to have watched it... because I didn't want to watch it anymore.

Its not a bad anime, but I think that somewhere along the road it became a disaster. The story stopped making sense, the characters were flipping out for silly reasons and did things that at the end of the episodes made no sense.

What killed it for me was the story. After episode 6 or 7 the anime turned into another anime that I didn't sign up ... to watch. It really dragged on, like a naruto filler arc. Worst part of it was the mid-episode pauses and the intro / outro cinematics showing all the main characters... THAT I WASN'T WATCHING THEM ANYMORE. The main character became the brother of the two sisters and his saga. And it wasn't just one episode. It dragged all the way to the end, to the point where I was like "So why did they made the anime with two girls and two guys? Why couldn't they have made an anime with this guy, sadistically killing people". But no, it was just a "trip to the past"

Also the main girl is liked by literally everyone because the writers say so. She loves everyone, picks nobody and everyone lusts for her. To the point where the other sister that loved one of the MC got her story wrecked because the guy wanted her sister.

There is tons of fighting though, that's the cool part.

Watch it on your own peril, not sure if it will captivate you or ruin you.

Its been a while since I wrote another "review". Oh well...

There is nothing wrong or right about this anime. Its another harem where MC is being liked by everyone and is the best because the writers said so. The story is sort of interesting and there is potential here, though I feel its squandered on the harem genre.

I liked the characters though there is nothing special about them. The MC is also nothing special, maybe the whole reading books is kind of cute, in a nerdy way. I like it, its nothing special.

You aren't missing much by not watching this, but its a cushion anime ... - made to comfortably fit around your fat ass. Its a comfort zone thing, like a bowl of chicken soup. Can't critique a bowl of hot soup for being bland when you got a cold right? I feel this anime is the same way. If you feel kind of down, this anime should make you shamefully admit you kind of like it. And I guess that is its purpose.

I like, I recommend others watch it.

! ! ! SPOILERS ! ! !


Overlord is a dark-ish copy of Log Horizon. Its similar in so many ways that its pointless to outright list everything. If you watched both, you would simply know. To be fair, I did say its dark-ish and it is. Extra details to blood & gore, killing of characters just to paint the picture of how undead and dark the MC is and last, a good example of human cruelty. Not a lot, but enough. Its slap happy type of anime so its brutal elements aren't more than one combat scene.


Its background story is of the "not-so-well-explained-maybe-later-but-probably-never" kind that ... the above mentioned anime also suffers from in my view. It focuses primarily on the role of the MC as the Overlord of his very own dungeon and his adventures and quickly dusts off the "reasons" and all of the "why" and "how" this happened.

Since Overlord's story isn't the driving factor, its the art, sound, combat and psychological / tactical elements like in that other anime I mentioned. The Overlord is OP in many ways and while he finds some sort of "equal rivalry" at the end, he is still portrayed as the one above all.

The final battle resembles like a world of warcraft arena 1v1. Make them spend their spells before you do yours. Very fun, especially if you like that sort of PvP.

Overall I find this good enjoyment to watch. Even though it has little romance or ecchi, it uses both in very tactical way, just enough to lure you in and keep you through-out the season. A job well done I'd say.

I'd recommend this anime to anyone that wants some mmo-like anime.

SPOILER ALERT!

This anime feels like a rip-off. First of all, I can safely assume this anime carries its inspiration on its sleeve. The MC, Ayato looks like Kirito in second season of Sword Art Online. He even has a same color laser sword or whatever. Though this anime has original concepts in it, its not exactly "trying" to be original.

There is nothing original about the MC or the other characters. Its like any action harem ecchi anime you've seen a thousand times till now. I feel like this was a quick-buck maker for ... whoever made this anime so they copied popular anime stuff and called it a day.

The art is pretty good and so is the sound. The story is meh, something something battle stadium let's fighting love! Lol.

Its an anime I wouldn't recommend because there is nothing memorable in it, but its okay for a casual watch as long as you don't expect much.

Its been a long time since I gave an anime a 10/10!!!

At first, other reviews said this was a typical harem non-sense. And I kind of bought into it, but had nothing to watch so I decided on this one. I got hooked since episode 1.

Why? Because the MC is another one that is "little off" from the standard dumb as a brick, closed off guy that is super embarrassed about little skin. I'd have to say that he is one of the very rare MC in anime that has admitted ... to loving a girl and then proposing to her.

Now this anime is far from perfect. The girl characters are so mainstream: pink pigtails, huge breasts, arrogant and short tempered tsundere. And all the other harem details that belong into mainstream. Overpowered underdog MC, charming everyone and getting through against all odds. Nothing of this is bad mind you, just saying its mainstream and has already been seen too many times.

But there are some moments that captured my attention. The story is relatively okay, but the sound + art is amazing. Something about this anime shines to me. And the best: the MC becomes a man who takes responsibility and admits his feelings. Something totally rare.

10/10! Can't wait for season 2

WARNING! HENTAI ALERT

An average hentai in my taste. Teacher dominates idol women in prestigious school only for daughters of famous families aka "princesses". He plays sweet, nice and cool - but he is a manipulative and sadistic in nature.

Its not bad. The art feels dated, and the animations aren't as in other hentai I've watched. Sounds are great though.

Overall I think its enjoyable, but you will have to watch it yourself to see if you like it. I'm not gonna trash it or recommend it, but leave it up to you to decide.
