Konosuba is one of those animes that you realize it was a masterpiece after you have finished it. And the fact that it is a masterpiece does not come from the plot or the characters. Characters are of course well crafted, but also a bit exaggerated; The setting is bright and positive, but also too generic; And the comedy is charming but filled with sexual references. Although these elements make it a very good anime (8/10 or even 9/10), they won't make it a 10/10. What makes it a 10/10 is its world view and the philosophy of life. Let me explain.

The first thing that ... comes into mind while watching Konosuba is the slow pace of story. The characters in the story are suppose to complete a very big mission but they are not even close to think about that mission. All they do is wander around and make money to survive. But that is life. That is how you face life. First, you are young and bright, then you are working your a** off to make a living and you forget your dreams, because they are too big to even think about. The plot of Konosuba is slow which makes it more realistic; makes it more human. At the end of the anime you are wondering why do I have this felling of relieve? Why do I care about their adventure even though it's is not anything magnificent? You may agree that this feeling surely doesn't come from the b**bs or a** that are everywhere in the anime. But where does it come from? In my opinion, because adventurers in this anime are HUMAN. They are not some perfectionist serious emotionless half-god creatures that only care about reaching their goal, killing monsters, and becoming famous. They understand what is like to be a human. They are weak and are proud of it. They learn simple and yet interesting skills that most of the time are not correctly acknowledged . They are poor and reachable. They do immoral stuff and have mixed feeling about it. They even are kinky and most of the time sexually frustrated. They are all in the moment and enjoying each other's company.

All in all, you should watch this anime as it reminds you that it's OK to be a human. It's OK to sometimes forget your dreams. It's OK to be sad and happy. It's OK to hate people sometimes and love them the other times.

The expectations from season 2 of The Promised Neverland should be different from season 1. In season 1, the focus is on the plot, developing the characters and maintaining a steady pace of the story and excitement. I would say that in my opinion, season 1 turned out quite good (I gave it 9/10). But in season 2, the focus shifts towards philosophy/psychology. In this season we don't see a lot of human-demon fights because it is not necessary; it doesn't add much to the core philosophical problem. So, I if you watch season 2 with these glasses, you would certainly enjoy it. Isn't it ... the best way to defend/reject vegetarianism if we swap the place of human and animal? What if the animals produce humans for food? I find this theme very interesting and in the following I show you the philosophical dilemmas in this season, but of course there is more find than this in the anime.

Before going into it, I gave this anime 7/10 as there were some inconsistencies in the plot and in the characters. This could easily be a masterpiece if the story got more subtle and engaging. But it is a piece of art that remains in the mind for long time. I recommend you read the following after you watched the anime.

The problem that is being addressed in season 2 is pretty much the problem of vegetarianism: Is it morally correct to produce humans only for the meat? But it doesn't end here. In season 1 we already saw this problem. In season 2 it gets more complicated. What if the demons are dependent to human brain/flesh? What if they have no other choice? if demons don't eat human meat, they will degrade into insentient beings. Then, what choice do the demons have? should they just abandon the intelligence and fight like animals? The anime shows that demons are not bad as they appeared in season 1. They raise the children in complete peace. No child ever saw a demon or feared of them until one minute to death. They had a loving mom, good quality food, connection to nature, safe place to sleep, book to read, time to play, etc. The children didn't suffer when they died. Even the act of killing is done with complete respect to nature. Now, given these circumstances, is killing the children still bad? Emma knows the answer. she knows that they have no choice, that's why she doesn't want to kill the demons.

But it gets even more complex. what if there is a blood that if the demons drink it, they get free from being obliged to kill humans. Now, the most solid part of the argument about being morally correct about killing human breaks. Nobody kills a human out of necessity anymore. The anime is getting more like our world. If we provide the animals enough care and space and answer their physiological and psychological needs, is it morally wrong to kill them? Is it OK to kill a sentient animal only because of joy of eating? Norman understands this. He knows that even if demons drink the blood and don't need human anymore, they would still kill humans for taste and fun and no problem is solved. He knows that if there is demand and there is money, there would eventually be supply. So he tries to wipe them out of existence.

If you think the anime doesn't get more complex, you are wrong. Now, in a laboratory, a new method of mass-production of humans is being developed. With less time, money, and risk you can have human flesh and brain. And the society is saved. But good news, those children won't ever found out (like some of the children of the House) that they are born to be food. What can you say, morally speaking? Can we say it is morally correct to bred those children as they don't even know about the concept of freedom, so they don't lack anything? Or, should we say, the fact that they don't know about the world, doesn't mean the others don't know that they barely have any freedom? In my opinion, this is the best way to see this philosophical problem. In our world, chicken, cow, pig, etc are kept in small places and sometimes they don't see the sunshine for their whole life. But those animals don't know that there is something called sun that is very beautiful.
