Eehhh, I'd say it's more like 2 halves of the same braincell that don't talk to each other, but instead, scream incoherently and get pissed when they can't reach an understanding.
I love Darkness even more in season 3. Watching her kind of act like the adult in the room, and try to keep the rest of the gang in line has been awesome.
I think my favorite darkness moment came this season, when she was pleading with Kazuma to not read the letter from the princess (in episode 2 or 3 don’t remember) it’s a very short and brief moment but there’s something about her voice and how she’s animated that just sends me
@sparkysatellite imo it shows a depth to her character that A. Her upbringing as a noble is important and relevant to the story and she isn't just a lul horny character gimmick, and B. It shows she has a deep understanding of her friends - and by that I mean she understands all too well how easily they can all be executed for being dumb af.
I was worried when I saw Mike's face got partially pixelated, but getting a head injury before covering kono suba seems serendipitous Hope you heal well bro ❤
Up until Season 3 Darkness was only a rather minor character compared to the others. But this has been her season to shine and it has been hysterical. Props to VA Ai Kayano.
Konosuba is a great example of how a parody of a genre made with love for it can potentially be one of the best things within they genre. Maybe even THE best.
The English dub is excellent for 1 reason: Faye Mata. She also voices Aki in Street Fighter 6 and Xiaoyu in Tekken: Bloodline. She actually plays the characters she voices too! She's awesome for those reasons alone.
I am so tempted to read the light novel since i watched konosuba back in 2019/20 but i didn't and waited for season 3 am still getting tempted to read but guess what we gotta wait for season 4
I’d say the light novel is better than the anime when it comes how the world gets fleshed out and how characters are given much more time to develop and have their awesome moments. For example with season three I’d say the anime was way funnier then the light novel for being able to implement comedic timing and voice comedy, but the light novel delivers far better then the anime on important moments for getting much more time to develop character motivations and explain small but important details. Having the story spoiled for you by reading the light novel is probably actually better than if you waited for the anime because the story is much stronger than the anime where comedy takes priority. I’ll always tell people to read the light novel having read it myself and loved it, but if for whatever reason you don’t feel like reading it that’s alright, we can both wait on season 4.
I have been binging anime a lot lately because my life sucks, which led me to your channel. I got kindred soul vibes from you watching your Cyberpunk Edgerunners vid, and you mentioned loving this show, so I trusted you. You were not wrong. Instant favorite.
The question is if they are also going to adapt the Dust spinoff. It's not bad, but Dust is basically 'Kazuma-lite' (if he was just a regular fantasy character, and wasn't Isekai-ed)
Konosuba is a parody and we know that parodies are really good, from naked gun to shrek to scary movies to OPM ya just cant beat a good parody, gotta love it.
I've never heard Konosuba pronounced like that lol and this series is uncontrollably funny and awesome never had a bad time with Konosuba plus been reading the manga for a really long time it's great too also ps Aqua Best Girl
he's stated in a couple of other videos that he has difficulty pronouncing words that are repeatedly spoken aloud or spelled out due to previous brain injury, something to do with repeated words muddling in a part of the brain that deals with , language stuff other medical jargon I can't expand on
I just got into the series cuz it popped up for season 3. Its taking every ounce of will power to not just plow straight thru it. This vid came at the perfect time.
Season 3 might be my favorite not gonna lie. I don't know if its just recensy bias but the last episode killed me LOL. I swear its been a long time where i've just been laughing troughout an entire episode.
Konosuba was the second completed novel series I read and the first one I fully owned. First one was High School DxD (before the "True" sequel series and I read it online since there was no official translation then). This series threw me around until I started understanding that it's basically just an Isekai parody and it was fun. I'm still a bit miffed that the Demon Kings Daughter never interacted with Kazuma, like so many other girls(?) of the demon king army but while there is no sequel yet, it was at least put on the table someday in the future. Still, I have no desire to watch the Anime or read the Manga when there is so much out there and I have only so little time but that doesn't mean I think it's a bad series.
I remember hearing someone comparing Konosuba as the anime equivalent of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia'. The four/five worst idiots causing trouble and creating chaos but having a blast and smiling along the way. I couldn't agree more and this third season is absolutely hilarious! It feels like it has only gotten better and better.
Konosuba is unironically my favorite anime, I’ve watched it in Japanese and English twice. And I’ve been watching season three once with the dub and the sub back-and-forth
Heavily disagree about the ending. The fight against the demon king had me on the edge of my seat laughing harder than I ever had in a book. Seriously, I dont think I have ever been amused harder with a book before vol 17. The subversion of how a hero would fight a demon king vs Kazuma was brilliant.
That’s essentially Konosuba in a nutshell. It’s a most unconventional approach to an isekai. You have four people who are perfectly great in their area *kazuma being a jack of all trades* but are absolutely catastrophically incompetent together. In fact. The fact Kazuma was far appreciated when he swapped parties says a LOT. Or the bit when he and Chris broke into the castle. But it’s that dysfunctional nature that makes this series stupid fun 😂
I thought the ending was amazing but there were a lot of loose ends that didn’t quite get tied up. It could all be fixed with a follow up story please make a follow up story please I’m begging.
So.. why is Inuyasha counted as Isekai? It's the same world in different time periods, I remember an episode where Kagome goes to her school festival and encounters a demon
My guess is it might as well be another world, even if it's "technically" the same world. Everything is so drastically different that it mimics the isekai experience in its entirety to the point where that technicality is just semantics.
@@jesterjaded73id argue it’s more time traveling than isekai. While it seems like “another world” it’s really just centuries in the past. Which. Seems weirder now that said that aloud 🤔
@DarkEclipse23 Ehhh, I disagree. I'd say it's more fantasy isekai, since the "past" has magic, demons, supernatural creatures and cultures, etc. The "past" is so far removed from normal human society that it barely resembles the concept of the "past" at all. It'd be more time travel than isekai if the past wasn't so excessively supernatural compared to its modern present day counterpart.
Queen Elizabeth died in 2021? Wow! Why does that feel like it happened last year? Oh no... I'm getting old. The first Avengers movie was like, a few years ago right?
Nope, it was 12 years ago. I was 12 when that movie came out and wouldn't watch it till 3 years later. Sorry if I reminded you how old you're getting. Time flies so fast. What's worse Winter Soldier, one of the best MCU movies, just turned 10 years old 2 months ago. Guardians of the Galaxy will soon turn 10 years old too in 2 months.
6:40 "It keeps on working but not in a Seinfeld kind of way." I'd argue that it is like Seinfeld. Definitely not in the "show about nothing" aspect that you mentioned but in the "4 assholes whose only company is themselves" way that It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has also enjoyed latching onto.
Konosuba feels like the manga/anime version of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And I don’t mean they borrow storylines or characters or anything, but both are shows about the best worst kinds of people being just that, people. Such a train wreck, I love it.
Something I did notice after reading the LN is that what is S3s first episode was in a completely different spot in the LN. I think having it before during the Crimson village arc was better, but I get they didnt get ebough time in the movie. The whole episode feels kinda weak in the anime
14:50 MAN this part really hit me, I'm an overthinker and my brain goes into overdrive after social interactions, like at work I'll think about mistakes I made, or if I annoyed people, and what they think of me. Or after hanging out with my friends I worry that I talk too much, and it kind of paralyzes me thinking so much. I sit there just thinking, unable to move. Worried that people don't like me and that I'm just some moron. But then I have to remember, its all stupid. ALL of us are morons. The U.S. and capitalism is literally just a joke, we are fed this dream thats not actually real to keep up this obsession with unhealthy work culture. So much of it is so scummy and evil, all the while a few people get richer and richer. And for what?! Just for the sake of it. Its all a joke. Its ALL stupid. Humans just want to see a number or a line on a graph get higher. And yet we take work culture so seriously. At the end of the day We are just a speck within a speck of a speck, and it could literally all dissapear and we have NO control over it, maybe one day a giant fuck off meteor will just kill us all. Literally, anything could happen to our tiny planet. So why worry about the small things? I really should just live in the moment and enjoy the time I have. I'm not entirely sure if thats okay considering the stuff I'm learning about (like cobalt mines) is it wrong to relax while that is happening? I don't know, but maybe I'm overthinking. I guess I should just try to live my life. I want to draw characters, so I should focus on that.
As someone who prefers to watch in dub when possible. Konosuba is the only show I felt I HAD to watch in sub first. The English dub tries, but they aren't quite getting it. Ya really gotta go hard for something like this.
Where the hell is all this Iris (and Chris) stuff from? I have the complete Season 1 and Season 2 on Blu-Ray, with the OVAs, and none of the stuff towards the end of this review happens! Is this from the Megumin spinoff? Did I miss something?
@@distortedbanana340 , this video shows many anime clips. I guess I need to check out the spinoffs. I thought they were just about Megumin's family, not the whole gang.
this anime really makes me think of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". The main characters are all deeply flawed people who can really just be outright awful. But, in spite of that, you really do want to see them be happy...reasonably happy, at least. Their genuine and sincere friendships, while rocky at times, also stays strong.

Konosuba: four friends, one brain cell
Eehhh, I'd say it's more like 2 halves of the same braincell that don't talk to each other, but instead, scream incoherently and get pissed when they can't reach an understanding.
Yeah I'm Kazuma 😤
That's too many brain cells...
Four friends, one brain cell and none of them have it
That 1 brain cell that fights itself lol

Konosuba is unironically the best anime of all time, and I'll hear no objectively wrong counter arguments.
Will you hear subjectively wrong counterarguments?
@michaellane5381 If they existed for this topic I would, but they don't, so I can't.
Konosuba is a great example of how a parody of a genre made with love for it can potentially be one of the best things within they genre. Maybe even THE best.
Well. ROTS and Konosuba have been fun because they weren’t your typical isekai’s with konosuba surpassing that.
ranma falls into this category too imo
As a huge fan of some isekai and of its always sunny in Philadelphia, konosuba is a dream series lol. I love it
I'm only slightly upset that I'm adding "boobie-doobie" to my lexicon
Konosuba's ending was just abrupt, it wasn’t bad in anyway. It's the only popular LN ending that didn't shit the bed
Can you spoil me the ending pls?
The English dub is excellent for 1 reason: Faye Mata. She also voices Aki in Street Fighter 6 and Xiaoyu in Tekken: Bloodline. She actually plays the characters she voices too! She's awesome for those reasons alone.
We need to see Darkness abs for scientific research
I am so tempted to read the light novel since i watched konosuba back in 2019/20 but i didn't and waited for season 3 am still getting tempted to read but guess what we gotta wait for season 4

On the brightside, you now know you look great with deep red eye shadow lol
The great/worst thing about an anime adaptation is that the ending can be different to the light novel.
Mike still coming back on a concussion
9:59 perfect way to introduce someone to Konosuba's brand of humor
The Japanese voice acting is so good my ex actually assumed we were watching an English dub til I pointed out she's reading subtitles 💀
Ayyee best isekai of all time. Glad season 3 hasnt been a let down. Uuhh..uuhh... I love you UwU
It has the same feel of Married with children.. and I love it
Good video man,I started watching the third season yesterday and it is going well so far.

The konosuba Audiobooks are fantastic, voiced by Kazuma and Megumin would absolutely recommend
The way they draw and animated the faces this season is comedy gold, found myself laughing out loud for real. 😂
A REAL CHAD, SUBBED!
I love this show more than life. It is fantastic and english is perfect lol
Kazutrash, Useless Goddess, The Crazy One and of course Divorcedness delivered another banger season really hope season 4 doesn’t take another 7 years
Here's to a speedy recovery, bro. 🤕👍
Fantastic video as always, my dude! 😎
Konosuba is unironically my favorite anime, I’ve watched it in Japanese and English twice. And I’ve been watching season three once with the dub and the sub back-and-forth
Thanks for the vid
Wow! I watched like one episode before and put away, dismissing this anime. But, after this video, I'm convinced to consider giving another try.
Heavily disagree about the ending. The fight against the demon king had me on the edge of my seat laughing harder than I ever had in a book. Seriously, I dont think I have ever been amused harder with a book before vol 17. The subversion of how a hero would fight a demon king vs Kazuma was brilliant.
I think the only disappointing part about the ending was that there was just a tiny epilogue after that. Everything else leading up to that was great
That’s essentially Konosuba in a nutshell. It’s a most unconventional approach to an isekai. You have four people who are perfectly great in their area *kazuma being a jack of all trades* but are absolutely catastrophically incompetent together.
In fact. The fact Kazuma was far appreciated when he swapped parties says a LOT. Or the bit when he and Chris broke into the castle.
But it’s that dysfunctional nature that makes this series stupid fun 😂
The conversation where the demon king and Kazuma just complained about the other generals cracked me up so much
I thought the ending was amazing but there were a lot of loose ends that didn’t quite get tied up. It could all be fixed with a follow up story please make a follow up story please I’m begging.
Konosuba was the first anime that made me laugh and it somehow made me realize how funny other anime are
That Thumbnail gahlee
Another goated video
Konosuba is that one show that never fails to make me laugh every episode. It's genuinely one of the best shows I've ever watched.
The best worst girls ever
The vending machine one is no joke really wholesome and good
I should start this freaking insane show. It’s bonkers on the outside and prolly even more insane inside.
I started to have this feeling and thoughts (gets worse at night), after returning to this anime. Escapism
it literally got me into reading books
how can i not show respect??????
EXPLOSION!
Ah, yes. It's Always Sunny in the Isekai. My favorite.
“ can’t hit the air with a B-52…”
Thanks for tuning me into this series!
It’s here!!!! Woooo
If it makes you feel better. I wiped out once roller blading and torn half my face off. It healed fine but I was an awesome harvey dent for halloween.
