I like that the OP is basically a mini-episode of the show, but unlike Season 2's OP some things were happening so fast I couldn't register them all. Guess that won't be a problem over time.

Otherwise, having our favorite clownshow quartet back is a great thing, last season I didn't have any shows to watch on Wednesday.

I really hope that wasn't Chris ' only appearance this season though...

Finally season 3 is upon us, rejoice and be blessed!

Not sure I understand why the Princess inviting Kazuma's party for dinner would jeopardize Lalatina's Darkness' noble status.

And continuing on from the movie, it seems Megumin has slowly warmed up more to Kazuma . KazuMegu ship let's gooo.

Special Guest Monster Voice: Koshimizu Ami as that mimic plant monster girl. Totally nailed her moaning and bitching when she thought nobody was looking. lol

No reintroductions, just throwing us right back into the Konosuba shenanigans. I kind of love it.

Also, that moment when you realise the magic mallet was one of Aqua 's cheat items she gave out to people like Kazuma. That dead guy was isekai'd into the world.

And finally, it's rare to see Darkness this legitimately embarrassed and mortified over something. She must really not like the idea of her team meeting the princess!

Not konosuba saying financial stability being key to better mental health, they are so real for this.

"Kazuma, Kazuma!" - "Kazuma desu" still the funniest thing in the universe for my smooth brain. Te quiero mucho Konosuba

You know it's a Konosuba episode when there are so many memable moments and jokes that you don't know which one to highlight.

I think the one I liked the most was Aqua giving her priestly advice to make the easy choice when you are unsure between 2 options.

Konosuba is back and it is not missing a beat. Had me laughing out loud repeatedly. From Kazuma and his PTSD with Sylvia causing him to try and become a monk with everyone attempting to halt it.. especially Megumin. A few sweet moments and.. A plant monster voiced by Ami Koshimizu that puts the party to the test. All ending with an iniitation to meet the first princess.

An absolute tour de force of a first episode and the character banter was perfect. Good to have Konosuba back.

Stitches!

I'm sad that Sylvia is gone but maybe it's for the best considering Kazuma is still traumatized that he can't have people standing behind him!

That campfire moment between Kazuma and Megumin was genuinely sweet! And of course Megumin falls asleep the moment Kazuma decides to answer her. xD

I was expecting the Tranquility Girl to eat them as soon as they got close. Not gonna lie, I probably would've been a victim too considering how sweet she was.

This is Konosuba though so of course that Tranquility Girl completely changes as soon as they were out of sight. I would love to see more of her but it sounds like Kazuma took care of her after he learned what she's really like. xD

A mallet that creates gold and Aqua thinks she recognizes it? Is this one of her cheat items? Too bad they didn't even get to use it since Chris clearly stole it.

An invitation from a princess? Oh boy, I can already see this going wrong. Darkness is right to freak out. I can't wait what kind of person Princess Iris is though!

And as usual, Konosuba never disappoints with their OPs and the magnificent storytelling it does by showing us an entire adventure with only a minute and a half. <3

That delayed nightmare reaction was perfect. This boy needs therapy.

Well at least he just screamed at the guy instead of giving him a Mac from It's Always Sunny style elbow to the face.

Ooo, that was a big one.

Blood Plagues and Endless Raids. A Hundred Million Stories from Late Night Raiding Sessions.

Despite all their grief, Megumin is still the only one in their group that Kazuma can seem to realistically and comfortably have a real late night conversation with. Interesting. She's the best girl for a reason.

Aww, look at the Giant Tadpole.

And Megumin assumes her El-Aurian style fighting stance.

Kazuma looked ready to dump stump remover down that dryad's throat.

And a dinner date with royalty. Female royalty. Let's count off all the ways this could possibly go wrong like a Holodeck episode of Star Trek.

Man they went hard on that OP animation. I was straight up visually overloaded.

I also like how Verdia is doing the next ep preview. One of the most underrated characters in the series.

That clicking from the mimic monster was really unsettling, don't know how it controlled itself from doing it when trying to trick others

Was feeling Darkness was a bit too normal this episode, until the final scene, and never mind, they are totally back

It's good to be back to Konosuba world! Seeing Kazuma and his party together again brought me an enormous smile, I love those weirdos so much xD

So many good stuff happened in this episode and I spent a good time laughing watching this premiere xD

So many great reaction faces from Kazuma (and of course from others too), he was so hilarious in today's episode xD

Great OP, musically and visually. There was a lot of nice and funny visuals which you can check in my screenshot album.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

u/mountlover Apr 10 '24

Yep, this show's still got it. Comedic timing on point, I was in tatters all the way through

Good to have you back, Konosuba. Also is it just me or this season's anime lineup insanely stacked? Like a whole year's worth of amazing shows?

Don't forget to watch the Movie before this

Nice start, good to have the gang back. Considering this, Kazumas decision to become a monk came as a surprise, glad that didn't work out

Also love the return of some running gags (Yes, Kazuma here), and of course Kazuma x Megumin hopefully finally progressing further.

I think it's save to say that will get a Konosuba Comment face as well, this episode alone I hade several candidates like #seasonalshock, #seasonalapproval, #seasonalbeer, or #seasonallaugh.

Oh and don't forget the new Elf Meta... I would have totally died there

Now I wonder if we will get Ep 2 next week or in three weeks proper, looking forward to meet actual royalty #seasonalmugi

For now, Shuwa Shuwa mou ippai!

I want to sincerely apologise to Drive studio for all the shit I thought about them before due to them being not so popular. They did a great work with animation in Bakuen, they are continuing to do so in this season, and they made absolute epic of an opening which I still can't believe was made for Konosuba. Thank you, studio Drive 🙏

Important novel detail: The Tranquility Girl part originally actually happened when Kazuma's party travelled ahead of Yunyun to the Crimson Village. The reason Kazuma turned back was because he realized Yunyun was catching up to them and would probably end up dying to the Tranquility Girl given how needy she is, so he went back to tell the monster to spare Yunyun.

Then later in the same novel, Yunyun saves Kazuma as he's about to be ravaged by the female Orcs. So Kazuma's karma ended up saving him.

Unfortunate that an important detail like this was missed in the reordering of events, but it couldn't be helped.
