>>15054I don't dislike the rest of the girls either. Aqua for example has that great dynamics with MC, which totally excuses her bitchiness.
But yeah. The dumb chuuni is obviously best. I think this is what "moe" was about? Is this "moe"? As opposed to the Key-style of moe, here the girl that invokes feelings of wanting to protect is actually pretty strong herself. As a strength of character; I wonder how she survived with such a spellbook up to now.

Season 2 confirmed.

>>15151I'll disagree. It's definitely not run-of-the-mill. It really heavily leans on being laid-back and snarky. That's hardly normal for an ecchi harem. Even that aside, the roles are all over the place. The first thing about harems is that they usually have either an alpha MC, or a beta MC. Kazuma is … definitely not alpha. But he ain't beta either. He's the main drive of the plot. Actually, if Aqua and Kazuma were swapped, Aqua would make a perfect bland beta MC, with Kazuma being the typical main girl. But, instead of this, we get an Aqua-Kazuma dynamics that is pretty much "best bros", down to the sync between them. And Darkness, being the last to be introduced, managed to get some personality by the last episode too.
wait…
THIS WAS THE LAST EPISODE? GOD DAMN I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ;_;
Though, as we are getting a second season, I shouldn't complain.

Took me long enough but I finally got around to it.
>>15155>we get an Aqua-Kazuma dynamics that is pretty much "best bros"Nope, sorry I don't see that all. To me their relationship is just one of two people who are forced to work together but absolutely fucking hate each other. I can't think of a single time they did anything bro like, they're just there to constantly antagonize each other. Fuck Aqua especially, I don't think theres a single trait you could add to her character that would make me despise her more. My tollerance for loud stupid characters is just too low for the shit she pulls.
On the plus side I do quite like the other two main girls and Kazuma isn't too bad when he's not bitching about how shit everything is. Episode 9 was really good, that bathroom scene was the best part of this show and Megumins friend from the OVA was really cute.

>I can't think of a single time they did anything bro like, they're just there to constantly antagonize each other.The first episode has an entire montage of them being bros.
>Fuck Aqua especially, I don't think theres a single trait you could add to her character that would make me despise her more.Personal opinion. Kazuma is a scum equally much, it just seems Aqua's specific way of being a bitch triggers you.

No.18163
>>18162>Kazuma is a scum equally much, it just seems Aqua's specific way of being a bitch triggers you. I think people mostly overlook this because Kazuma is the more directly entertaining character while Aqua is often the butt of jokes, and Kazuma is a more reserved kind of ass (outside of the OVA) while Aqua is a loud and opinionated kind of ass.

That said today's episode felt like a little too much of repetition. Almost all the jokes the anime has about its main cast were collected in one episode. It is a little too much.
No.18824
>>18822I don't see it. The jokes themselves were based on repetition, yeah, but for example there were none of the usual jokes at Megumin. Actually, only Darkness was the butt of her usual fare jokes.
The centerpiece of the episode however was the leaving of the caravan from the town. The rest was kind of lackluster.

I did expect more from Darkness, though. She's like a little kid being overjoyed by all the party vans giving out free candy on every corner of the street. Which, while entertaining, makes even burns like
>>18881 be almost expected to happen.
Also, if we're gonna be speaking about 2nd looks, let's mention that the music is funny too. Though I'm pretty sure the third time they abruptly cut the soothing music at the fifth second after the beginning of the episode, I'll expect it and not laugh out loud.

Vanir is so best.
This season of Konosuba will be coming to a close next week, and that's enough to lower my spirits. Darkness hitherto was the weakest amongst the quartet, but now she's almost as good as Megumin. To see such development is rare but very welcome, and I just hope I'm not dead by the time the next season is rolled out.
What a great anime.
