The funny thing about the water molecule thing was that I first learned of it from reading the Fridge Brilliance page.

Newbie question, but why is it called "Gifting this wonderful world" here? Everywhere else, Konosuba is given as "A Blessing To This Wonderful World".

I don't really know japanese beyond what I learned by hearing but I think we use that wording because that's the closest translation if we consider how japanese grammar works, with what putting the verb/action at the end.

Instead of focusing on relatives that divide us, maybe we should try to find the absolutes that tie us.

It's probably a fantranslation from before it got localized. Afterward it was left like that since you can't change thread names.

The thing is, 'shufuku' translates directly to blessing, which is a verb and matches the meaning of the kanji. It it not necessary to "gift" blessings because the act of blessing is an action already tongue I've also seen mods change the thread title previously where it was appropriate. I mean, it's not a major issue, but when I search for this series, I search for "God's Blessing On This Wonderful World".

More anime is in the works

That's all they've said for now but I will always look forward to more Konosuba :)

Here's more Konosuba, namely a whole anime dedicated to our favorite pyromaniacal mage, Megumin!

Konosuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World! Coming 2023!

Right off the bat, this looks way more dramatic than what I expect from Konosuba. Unless it's a fakeout? Was Konosuba similarly marketed as more dramatic than it actually is?

If the manga is any indication this should also be a comedy.

How do you make a non-comedic anime about freaking Megumin?

So there's a new series. I've heard that in the light novels Eris is Chris and they have the same VA for that reason. I wonder if that'll be moved up a bit?

My posts make considerably more sense read in the voice of John Ratzenberger.

Figured we were going to get season 3 after the Megumin spinoff. Definitely looking forward to that.

EXPLOSION spinoff episode 2: “It’s not netorare!” Hahaha Arue is a riot.

God, I love how chuuni everyone is. The headmaster creating the town’s monster problem and cursing the Dark God for it was funny. Then the old folk take the chance to look cool in front of the youth (love how they kept glancing back at the girls to see if they were watching)… but end up getting drunk on the carnage and destroying their town. Definitely see why Megumin is the way she is. Also liked seeing Megumin as a dependable older sister, which we didn’t see much of in the main series.

Oh and keep on fighting the good fight for common sense, Yunyun. The outside world appreciates it.

EXPLOSION spinoff episode 3: Dodonko and Funifura are so nice. Always nice to see Yunyun get a bone thrown at her. It must be exhausting being the Only Sane Man in a village of chuuni idiots.

Guess this Broccoli (that’s what I’m calling him) is supposed to make up for the lack of Kazuma’s scumminess. It helps the comedy to have an acceptable target to beat up. But ugh I really don’t like that it’s implied he gets together with Soketto. Stalker perverts should not be encouraged.

EXPLOSION spinoff episode 4: Too bad Yunyun dropped out of the top three, but she was always gonna find it hard to excel in Chuuni High.

Megumin's Imagine Spot about joining the Hero's team was doubly funny considering the color schemes for her imaginary companions match Kazuma, Aqua and Darkness Lalatina. "Would never resort to cheap tricks" lmao. And I for one would welcome Dark Lord Megumin.

It's so on point for the Crimson Demon Village to have a demon sealed underneath their town. A demon that they kidnapped specifically so they could have an ancient evil slumbering in their town.

One of the potion ingredients is a duck with a leek strapped to it. Why do I find that so funny

Megumin and Yunyun's mutual awkward tsundere friendship is sooo good.

Why am I expecting Komekko to somehow be the reason why those monsters got loose

Definitely liking this Megumin spin-off more than the main show. She’s just which a fun charismatically aggressive ball of energy to be around.

EXPLOSION spinoff episode 5: The moment we've all been waiting for. Gotta hand it to Megumin, that EXPLOSION was very satisfying.

Yunyun really is a sweet girl, she learned intermediate magic in order to protect her friend's dream. Who cares if most of the Crimson Demons think she's an underachiever? I'm looking forward to Yunyun and Megumin doing odd jobs to gather up adventuring funds.

Komekko is the real threat in this world. Watch out for Komekko.

Got a kick out of seeing the hints of the mainline Konosuba anime in Soketto's crystal ball.

EXPLOSION spinoff episode 6: Thus begins Megumin's daily routine of being a deafening nuisance to everyone in the vicinity.

Oh, even the potatoes can attack you. I guess the vegetables of this world are inherently hostile.

Yunyun is such an innocent girl to be shocked at Megumin lying and selling off secretly-a-demon-lady pets.

Arnes is fun. Her sense for worthless men is on point. And thank you for your sacrifice of 300,000 eris.

Ooooh Megumin got her staff from Funifura's dad, in exchange for the medicine Megumin gave them. That's cool. Plus she got her cape from Yunyun. And we finally see Arue give Megumin the eyepatch! Off you go Megumin. And now we must all be very afraid of unleashed Komekko.

P.S. Pretty sure Yunyun is telling her parents she wants to go adventuring too.

Poor Yunyun, you really shouldn't have decided to start adventuring, knowing how much of a Butt-Monkey you'll be in the future.
