Kazuma is a jerky little twat, incapable of respect and prone to molesting the opposite sex, and his assertive nature does well to set him apart from all the other spineless protagonists of the genre.
He is not developed by any means- lord, no, he is a complete dunce from beginning to end- but his frequent switching from idiot to straight-man does at least provide some variety to the gags. Kazuma is likely the more interesting of the lot, since he at least exists as more than a vehicle for a single joke. A little bit more involved than Darkness' 'gag', sure, but it is still repeated to the point of nausea. Her gags, almost invariably, follow a pattern of these two traits: she uses her status as a goddess to demand favours and respect, and then breaks her character and cries immediately after.
If this were pornography then maybe, perhaps, her characterisation would get a pass, but comedy requires considerably more effort than "oh gee golly I am like so horny right now."Īqua, as tantalising as her mini-skirt is (and I have spent many a moment admiring her womanly curves), falls into much of the same issues, with her two defining traits being that she is a narcissist with an ego the size of Darkness' breasts, and a crybaby who falls on her knees and wails at the top of her lungs when she doesn't get her way. There are other, more interesting things that can be done with Darkness' character, surely. I get it, OK?įor as much of a joke as Konosuba's characters are, there is only so much comedy they can create by repeating the same punch-line until the ends of time. Her mind is so perverted that she will twist a friendly conversation into a suggestion of her being sexually assaulted by monsters and- PLEASE, KONOSUBA. Kazuma will threaten her by promising to do unspeakable (!) things to her body, and, the deviant that she is, squirms in delight! No, look, I get it already- I really, truly do. The first season already made this joke several dozen times, so I get it. It just becomes a bit difficult to keep laughing when they repeat the same jokes for the fifth or fiftieth time.ĭarkness is a thundering masochist who mentally orgasms and gets foamy-mouthed whenever she is treated poorly. It never aims to beĪ 'good' anime (least not in the traditional sense), and criticising it for not being such is kind of missing the point. And sometimes it does a pretty OK job at creating said laughs. Where most other anime in the fantasy genre- Danmachi, Re:Zero and others of its ilk- attempt to be absolutely and relentlessly serious at all times, Konosuba does away with the very notion of seriousness.
#KONOSUBA EPISODE 1 KISSANIME HOW TO#
That they even know how to breathe is surprising in its own right. Kazuma and crew are so unbelievably lacking in their mental faculties that it is a wonder how they are even capable of putting their own clothes on every day. However, things rarely go as planned, and they are often sidetracked by their own idiotic tendencies. Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! 2 continues to follow Kazuma and the rest of his party through countless more adventures as they struggle to earn money and have to deal with one another's problematic personalities. There is also their stalwart crusader, Lalatina "Darkness" Dustiness Ford, a helpless masochist who makes Kazuma look pure in comparison. Their token spellcaster, Megumin, is an explosion magic specialist who can only cast one spell once per day and refuses to learn anything else.
To add to their problems, their group continued to grow as more problematic adventurers joined their ranks. Not only is he stuck with a useless deity turned party archpriest, the pair also has to make enough money for living expenses. Unfortunately, Kazuma chose to bring Aqua herself and has regretted the decision ever since then.
After choosing the new world, the goddess Aqua tasked him with defeating the Demon King, and let him choose any weapon to aid him. The letter requested that they come to the Crimson Demon Clan’s village.When Kazuma Satou died, he was given two choices: pass on to heaven or be revived in a fantasy world. Adaptation of the fifth volume of the light novel. Kazuma’s party is suddenly alerted by an outrageous letter delivered by Yunyun.
