Gotta be one of the greatest anime I’ve watched in awhile, almost entirely down to its humour. The story isn’t half bad but not one of the best, but it’s the interactions and banter between the characters that really bring it into its own.
The fan service is abundant but fits perfectly with humor and banter.

Easily a favorite of mine and can’t wait for the next season

KonoSuba’s second season is here and it’s a fantastic follow up to last year’s fantasy/comedy series which deservedly became a massive hit among the anime community.

One of the strongest points of this series is the characters and their interactions, Kazuma is one of the weird cases where I find the protagonist to be the best character of a comedy anime, he’s just such a lovable troll that has to deal with the weirdos around him, the first of them being Aqua, a cute but useless crybaby that has a godlike talent for performing party tricks. However, outside of that she lacks any other abilities despite being an actual goddess. Most of the time she’s a hindrance to the group but damn she’s great. There is also Megumin, a chuunibyou that wants to see the world explode (and she will be the one doing it, one explosion at a time). Last but not least there’s Darkness, a holy crusader that does her best in the front line, blocking the attacks of the enemies in order to defend her allies… well, that and to enjoy the pleasure of being hit, just masochist things.

While the main cast are great, the side characters are certainly capable of stealing the spotlight. For example, there’s Wiz, who is supposedly on the bad side but is probably the nicest person around, and Yunyun, another crimson mage like Megumin that really needs some love and headpats, poor girl.

The characters are very enjoyable to watch and their wacky, random adventures are always hilarious. Their gags stay fresh and funny due to all the different situations the characters are thrown into.

The RPG-like world adds a lot of variety to the comedy via fantasy elements and characters/monsters. Most series that use this type of setting tell a more serious story but KonoSuba uses it for comedic purposes. It’s a great, well-executed parody of the genre. Even the supposed ‘enemies’ are hilarious characters that add a lot of fun moments to this anime.

The art of this sequel was like in the first season, shining in showing the multiple reactions of the characters with comedic faces that add a lot to the humour of this anime. The music is similar to the first season, with a special mention for the new opening “TOMORROW”. It does a great job of showing what the anime is about, a bunch of weird people having lots of random, fun adventures. It’s so easy to get in the mood for an episode once that opening starts playing.

As someone who really enjoyed KonoSuba, this sequel offers the same great comedy while putting the characters into new different hilarious scenarios. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoyed the first season.

Very fun and funny. Always a joy to watch the characters interact with each other. The jokes in S02 were the same style as S01 but that wasn’t a bad deal, they still work and kept me entertained. Love this crew and exploooooosions.

Still as funny as season 1

This was a very enjoyable watch. It kept the same aspects that made the first season so much fun: the animation was great, the humor was present, the teamwork was legendary, and even the fan service was tasteful. I really enjoyed seeing Kazuma’s strategist side. It makes him feel more like the main character he is. As always, its refreshing seeing a guy surrounded by three attractive females have no real romantic tension with any of them. They are just the silly band of friends the viewer(myself included) wishes to be a part of.

Ending thought: I’m glad that we got to experience more of the world Kazuma is stuck in and I hope we get more of it in season 3.

Great sequel to the first season, the banter between the cast is hilarious but some of the regular jokes may be hit or miss to some people. While the art may have taken a slight dip, the animation has increased alot allowing for funny scenes to take place.

I felt the need to write a brief review in response to GT1970.

Animation: The animation is wonderful. I am not sure why the only other review states it has gone downhill. They did go off key often, so if you are the type to only define animation quality as “How pretty is it” as opposed to “How did they use animation creatively for visual effect” you might not like it. The animation quality is as good as the first season, and the animation is better used for visual gags this time around.

Story: About what you expected. This season covers two plot arcs / LN adaptations just as the first did. It progresses, though it’s not a story driven show.

Sound: Seiyuu are as great as the last season. Ai Kayano is still darkness and really that is all that matters. The OP is even better than the first seasons, and the ED still has a wonderful folk tune that I enjoyed every episode.

It’s true the humor is more of the same, but calling it repetitive doesn’t do it justice. It’s new set ups and new punchlines building on the ideas in the previous season.

KonoSuba S1 was one of the best comedies of recent years, and S2 is just as good.

what.the.fuck.

The series was great and now its just….meh. The art has gone downhill. I’m dropping this shit. The once “ROFL-worthy” jokes are now just repetitive. The studio has made NO effort to improve the series or build on it whatsover. The art was lazy and the jokes recycled. Its trash. Recycled trash.
The first season was at least funny. This is just…
