Kono subaraší sekai ni šukufuku o! - Série 3

Not gonna lie, after the Megumin spin-off, I was worried I wouldn’t enjoy Konosuba as much anymore. The biggest issue I had with the spin-off was that it just didn’t seem all that funny. What if Konosuba isn’t as hilarious as I remember? What if I don’t laugh every episode like in the previous seasons? But it only took one episode to put all my fears to rest! Konosuba is back, and Kazuma and the gang are in top form. Their chemistry is still fantastic, the show keeps surprising me, and most importantly — it’s incredibly funny! I laughed in every single episode. The creators expertly mix humor with dramatic moments, making the main characters genuinely cool at times before gracefully flipping back to comedy. It’s exactly the Konosuba you expect and love. Plus, the ending song is insanely catchy. It’s a simple "country tune" sung by the main heroines (much like the ending of season two, which I still listen to), but its simplicity is its strength. Once you hear it, it gets stuck in your head, and you start looking forward to it every episode. The ending also features a delightful short story about the main characters adopting a tadpole, which, predictably, doesn’t go as planned. It’s perfect! Animation-wise, this season looks great. Studio Drive did a fantastic job, especially with the magical effects during the beloved “Explosion!” scenes. As for the story, I enjoyed the first arc with Kazuma “reforming” a spoiled princess (or was it the other way around?) a bit more than the second arc focusing on Darkness, but both had plenty of legendary moments that I won’t forget anytime soon... In the end, I got exactly what I wanted. I’m thoroughly satisfied and had an amazing time. For me, Konosuba still deserves 5 stars. 8.9/10 (19/06/2024)
